The Haunting

Legend has it that a preacher and his mistress drugged his wife and killed her by pushing her car over the side of the bridge. Now, they say, her screams can be heard and her ghost walks to shore from the water. A film is reported to have been made about the incident, called "Murder Ordained."

People repeat the story as screams from the water and a woman walking back to shore. The important correction is that the site is tied to a documented 1983 death and later criminal case, while the apparition details remain folklore.
