Legend of Stuckey's Bridge

On a lonely gravel road in Mississippi, 12 miles southwest of Meridian, is a dilapidated old truss bridge, no longer open to cars or traffic. It spans 112 feet, giving travelers access across the Chunky River, a short tributary of the Chicksasawhy River. This bridge, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, had been built to replace one erected by early settlers of the region in 1850 which give carriages and horseback travelers a Southwestern route in and out of Meridian. But legend says the bridge is also haunted by the spirit of a man named Stuckey. Connect with Southern Gothic Media: Become a Patreon Supporter Join our New Facebook Group!
