Overtoun House and Bridge

Overtoun House and Bridge
According to Glasgow Skeptics, a tale of dogs leaping to their deaths from this bridge has been on the internet since about 2005 when it was mentioned in passing on a forum about hidden sights in Glasgow. It gained prominence in 2006 when the Daily Mail wrote an article about it. Since then the reported deaths have received international media attention. Quoted from Wikipedia

I often walk over this bridge, Dany. It is supposed to be haunted, but I have yet to see the ghost. Cheers, Joe

I love the architecture of this imposing house Joe. It looks as if it could house the odd ghost or two! What an amazing building for a maternity home, - you certainly had a grand start in life!
A beautiful image with the house on one side and the trees in their Autumn glory on the other.
Love it. A strangely compelling tale of the jumping dogs. Perhaps the White Lady is looking for companions! HFF and have a great weekend
