A resident of the Point Pleasant area when they we a child describes the strange energy and vibes of the Silver Bridge that she would realize each time her father would drive across it.
“I heard people speculating as to whether there might have been negative energy around the Point Pleasant bridge (Silver Bridge). I can confirm that there definitely was some kind of freaky negative, big negative energy around there.
When I was a kid, about four or five years old, I was a very calm, stoic, rational person my whole life. I lived in the region, and we would go visit my grandparents and there were two different ways we could go. One would take us over the (Silver Bridge) bridge, and one would not. My dad was always in construction, so he really liked, you know, big bridges and stuff, and I actually liked them too.
But there was something about this bridge. I would freak out; I mean, I would plead with my dad. I begged him, do not go over that bridge. You know, these are the words of a five-year-old child. It was to the point where if he took me over that bridge, I would ball up on the floor of the back seat and hold my breath the entire time. There was something weird about that bridge, and when that thing came down, I had a big "I told you so" with my father. I think he thought I was kind of weird. I was not happy to be correct about that but there definitely was some weird energy about that place.” Serena
NOTE: Serena is not unique in her feelings about the Silver Bridge before it collapsed. I have received several accounts from people who had issues with the Silver Bridge when they were children. Lon
