Don't be afraid. Lock the doors. Turn out the lights and climb into bed. It's time for

a real building. Dead time. Stories.

Across the country, hundreds of bridges harbor some of the creepiest paranormal activity known

to man. In visible hands reach out and touch unsuspecting travelers. Residual ghosts

taunt scenes of murders, accidents, hangings and suicide. At some bridges, a voice cries out

in the darkness that sends a chill down the spine of anyone who hears it. Most towns have some

type of a local legend associated with them. And Satarsha Mississippi is no exception. One of

the town's most interesting stories is centered around a bridge on Satarsha Road. Some pretty strange

things have taken place at that bridge and at the Yazoo River below. Today you will hear about it.

Located in the Mississippi Delta, Satarsha is a small community with less than 100 residents.

A grocery store and a cotton processing generator pretty much all you'll find is Satarsha today.

Well that and an intriguing past still raises questions to this day. Satarsha is situated on the

east bank of the Yazoo River. Throughout the years its waterfront location has had both positive

and negative effects on the small town. In the early 1800s Satarsha was able to reap the benefits

of being near the Yazoo River as it was a busy shipping point sending cotton to New Orleans.

During the Civil War the town's location meant that it would see a lot of violence.

There are over two dozen sunken ships from the war in the Yazoo River.

In 1976 a vertical lift bridge would span the Yazoo River with built in Satarsha.

The bridge may not look like much in fact it's gained notoriety for being one of the ugliest

bridges in the country but it's actually pretty significant because it's one of the three

vertical lift bridges in the state. Aside from being a marvel of engineering the bridges

become known for something else, the sight of some pretty stranger currencies.
