Scotts Creek Bridge - Sylva, NC

Scotts Creek Bridge

Scotts Creek Bridge connects Bridge Park to Poteet Park in downtown Sylva, NC. Children playing in Poteet Park have often reported a shadowy figure standing on the other side of the bridge, often to the dismay of their parents who apparently are never able to see the apparition. Children describe the figure as a tall man in dark clothing, wearing a dark brimmed hat, much like the Shadow Man of other lore. He never moves, nor does he take any other sort of action other than to stand menacingly across the bridge. Ghost hunters investigating the bridge can often find strange EMF readings that tend to spike on the Bridge Park side of the crossway.
