Every state in the United States has an Urban Legend a story of something strange that occurred at a place or somewhere unexpected many years ago. That place in Arkansas is a bridge called the Tilly Willy Bridge which will downright give you the Willy's.

The Urban Legend

As the story goes, many years ago a woman was killed when she lost control of her car and plunged into the dark murky waters, it was such a tragedy because not only did she lose her life but she also lost the lives of her children traveling with her on that fateful day.

The locals who live in the community say that people traveling over the bridge will see headlights approaching but as they get closer they vanish into thin air. It's also been reported that a ghostly figure of a woman can be seen dancing in a nearby field.

Perhaps the creepiest part of this tale is if you stop your car on the bridge and turn off your headlights, small child-like handprints will appear on the back of your car or window. Several other people have also been killed on this bridge over the years including an Arkansas student who died and drowned in 1972. The old bridge had no guard rails so crossing the bridge at night could be very tricky.

While other bridges in Arkansas are purportedly haunted like the Mama Lou Bridge, the Tilly Willy Bridge has a dedicated Facebook page with comments from people who have had their own paranormal experience on or near the bridge.

The old Tilly Willy Bridge was torn down in 2010 and a new bridge was constructed in 2012, named after Matilda Wilson Ford an early settler from the 1800s but that hasn't stopped the strange occurrences from happening.
