Berry Hill Bridge & Mansion Hauntings in North Carolina

Berry Hill bridge in Ruffin, North Carolina has been around since the mid-1700s, before the Revolutionary War. The Berry Hill Mansion has a history starting with the Revolutionary War as it served as a hospital to General Nathanael Greene’s army in the spring of 1781.

The bridge was once a covered one that led covered wagons from one side of the Dan River to the other is now covered in graffiti as you can see in the picture above.

One legend states that devil worshippers visit the Berry Hill Bridge to perform their rituals and make sacrifices off the bridge. Another legend says that a lady near the bridge was hit by a train and lost her head. So now she travels the train tracks looking for her lost head.

There have been several suicides at the bridge, people jumping over into the river below and drowning. Others say that you can see Revolutionary war ghosts around the bridge as well as Civil War ghosts as if they are still in battle. Megan even had an experience that you need to listen to the podcast to hear.

The Mansion is said to be haunted by ghosts of years past as well as slaves that worked the plantation around the house as there is a slave graveyard still on the property.
