Northern Georgia is a beautiful place with panoramic views. Many areas offer visitors vacation opportunities with plenty of activities and relaxation. One small town is the storybook definition of Southern charm. Unfortunately, not all things that glitter are gold.
A sign is anchored in the ground in Euharlee, in southwestern Bartow County, Georgia, detailing the history of the Euharlee Creek Covered Bridge. The sign is in rough shape but reinforced on all sides. You turn your car stereo’s volume to zero and begin to drive through, quickly noticing how closed this giant rectangle is.
Just as you drive to the halfway mark of the bridge, you hear it. Groaning. What is that sound? The sound is coming from under the bridge! You begin to speed the rest of the way, leaving the bridge and sound behind in a hurry.
Many have heard this sound and experienced the paranormal hotspot firsthand. Legend has it that the bridge is very active with spirits that haunt Euharlee.
The small town doesn’t even have its own post office. The two nearest towns are Taylorsville and Cartersville, both of which have a post office and all the amenities of a regular-sized city.
There are multiple legends in Euharlee, one of which involves a curse!
Allegedly, a witch traveled through the area many years ago, searching for a safe place for the night, and met with hostility from the locals. The witch cursed the community well and the people of this town.
The groaning from under the bridge, though? That would belong to the dead woman swinging from the rafters just above the waters below. Legend has it that she was abducted, assaulted, and left to hang under the bridge.
