Edna Collins Bridge

The Edna Collins bridge over Little Walnut Creek, one mile Southeast of Clinton Falls on County Road 450 North, was built in 1922 and has long been rumored to be haunted by the ghost of a little girl. The official name of the bridge is Edna Collings Bridge, but it is certainly better known as the Edna Collins Bridge. Although there are variations to the story, the essentials of the story is that Edna Collins was a little girl whose parents used to drop her off to swim in Little Walnut Creek. Later they would stop on the bridge again and honk the horn three times to let her know that it was time to go. One day she failed to respond and she was later found drowned. The story says that if you park your car on the bridge at night and honk the horn three times, Edna's ghost will appear and get in the car (or at least try to). Stories also say that handprints will appear on the car.
