Is this North Carolina Bridge Haunted by the Lawson Family

On Christmas Day in 1929, Charlie Lawson lost his mind and murdered his family. We have covered the Lawson Christmas Day murders in the past, but there are a few ghost stories associated with the family and the old grounds, where the Lawson house once stood.

The old Lawson home became somewhat of a tourist attraction for many years before it was closed and torn down. Reportedly, the wood from the house was allegedly used to construct a nearby wooden bridge across Watts Creek.

I researched the bridge, and it shows that it currently sits on private property in Stokes County, North Carolina.

People have alleged through the years that you can see strange mists in the air, handprints appearing on your vehicle, and even an older model car in the area.
