tours of the haunted Banwell Bridge

I live less than 2 miles from the bridge. There are several bridges worth taking a look at to get scared and the area is beautiful. Unfortunately, the haunted bridge is now closed, but you can still walk on it if you dare. If you are interested in staying the night close to the bridge and risk going for a late-night walk as well, I am willing to help you out. I am also available to drive you to the bridges!!! And give you a tour of Tara, Iowa. I have 5 bedrooms, 1 with a bed and the others you have to bring either a sleeping bag or other accommodations. You are welcome to have a bonfire after at my place and if you want, I can cook meals for you. I will give you more details if you want to message me before the -bridge is torn down. ph. 515-570-9057.

2 carloads all experienced it together.

We took 2 carloads of people here when I was 18ish. We parked on the bridge and looked over the edge heard a train but didnt see one. Went and walked the tracks and saw orbs the guys were a little ways ahead of us and out of nowhere all of them were running at us full speed and swore something with eyes was chasing them. Hopped in our cars to peel out if there and the truck stalled on the tracks. Heard the train again and the car rolled off of the tracks on its own and started again as we are driving away as fast as we can the headlights on the truck stopped working and the road was quite curvy. Im not sure how we got out of there but when we got to a well lit area there were several different sized sets of tiny handprints.

Saw lights and heard a train

In college my friends and I would go hang out on the bridge multiple times, and we started walking on the track. Most nights it was fine and quiet, but one night we were with a group of friends and we all heard the sound of a train and saw lights coming toward us. We all ran. Scariest thing ever. Also had handprints on our windows after being on the bridge too. Often heard voices. I don’t believe in things like that but honestly it was the scariest thing I’ve experienced

Fingerprints on My Car

Myself, my husband, and my teenage daughter went to this bridge tonight. While we were there we heard a train engine idling (no trains were there), heard a faint distant train whistle, saw lights in the woods, saw a shadow move into the woods, and felt we were being watched. After we left the bridge, we pulled over to look at the car. There were small fingerprints on all 4 doors (weren't there before) on the lower part of the doors and fingerprints on the passenger's side window.
