Jericho Covered Bridge

This bridge, located in Kingsville Maryland is the last covered bridge standing in Harford County Maryland. Sheathed in cedar boards and supported by a timber bean "Burr Arch', the 100 foot long bridge as built in 1865 and restored in 1982. Local legend has it that several lynchings occurred at this bridge during and after the Civil War, in which the captured people were hung from the upper rafters, sometimes many at one time.

According to urban legend, if you stop your car on the narrow bridge late at night, put down all your windows, turn off your engine and headlights, and honk your horn 3 times, then you will see hanging bodies behind your car. Some people have reported that if you drop your keys outside your car it serves as a peace offering to the spirits, in that you mean no harm to them. It is also said that if you get out of the car and walk the length of the bridge and back, you will see a ghost named Will. This is supposedly a benevolent spirit that will "talk" to visitors.
