Summary

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into one of Vermont’s most chilling legends—Emily’s Bridge in Stowe. What begins as a quaint covered bridge nestled in the New England woods quickly turns into a hotbed of eerie activity and decades-long mystery. From ghostly screams and sudden scratches on cars to chilling eyewitness accounts, Tony peels back the layers of history and legend to uncover whether there's truth behind the tale—or if it's all in our haunted imaginations. This deep dive exposes why Emily’s Bridge continues to fascinate, terrify, and confuse even the most skeptical visitors. Was a heartbroken girl really lost to the ravine below—or has folklore taken on a life of its own?
