 The 50-foot-long Skyhill Road Bridge, spanning the waters of Coffee Run, was built on the Hughes Farm by the F.S. Wilson Company of Kittanning (for $2,965) in the summer of 1917. Over the years teenagers said it was haunted by the mysterious “bridge people,” who lived under the structure and if bothered would seek you out. One version of the tale says if you wrote your name on the span the bridge people or the Hook Man would come for you. The graffiti-laden bridge is referred to by many names to include the Graffiti Bridge, White Bridge, Frankenstein Bridge, Ghost Bridge, and Hookman’s Bridge. The location of the bridge is considered to be a part of Zombie Land, an area around Hillsville that is steeped in creepy legend and lore. The aging structure was closed and torn down beginning in late July 2013. A new concrete span opened by the end of the year.

 The old graffiti-laden structure was closed and torn down beginning in July 2013. A new concrete span (shown above), which has none of the flair of its predecessor, was opened later that year. (Apr 2014) Full Size |
