Let’s face it, whether we like it or not, South Carolina is just plain haunted. And while some ghosts are of the more friendly kind, there are haunts that also involve some pretty creepy paranormal stuff… stuff that’ll make your hair stand on end. For some unknown reason, bridges seem to attract spirits. From one of the most haunted bridges in the nation (read about it here) to less obscure ghost stories involving bridges in the Palmetto State, we’ve almost grown accustomed to living with spirits here, even those that are the opposite of good.
In terms of hair-raising experiences involving bridges, no other is as terrifying as the tale the circulates around a bridge in Westminster.

Some folks refer to it as the Screaming Bridge and the ghost that haunts it is legendary.

Not much is known about her, but some people believe she is a spirit whose fate was sealed in the mid 1900s.

As local lore goes, she was driving her car along the road and drove right off the bridge. Whether it was on purpose, or merely an accident, is unknown.

The woman and her car plummeted head first into the waters below and she supposedly died on the spot.

Are you ready for the most unnerving parts of this haunt? People who discuss having experienced this ghost say they’ve heard her blood-curdling screams as they pass over the bridge at night.

But that’s not all… other people say the ghost woman actually dives in front of their car as they pass. And then when they come to a screeching stop — she’s gone!

Possibly the worst part of it all? No one really talks about which bridge in the Westminster area IS THE BRIDGE. So that means, you can’t really avoid it happening to you by avoiding the bridge. When you least expect it, she could scare the living daylight out of you with her gut-wrenching screams, or even dive right in front of your vehicle! Does this sound like a ghost you’d want to tangle with?
