There are so many good ghost stories in Western NC

scooby who? :

I lived on the street where you can walk onto the bridge, growing up we’d prank people and scare them. Never experienced any paranormal moments though. Very fun hangout spot though. But zealandia is very closed off!

strictasiaobama :

You knew to go there during the day though. 😭😭😭

Nick :

People will believe anything. Ghosts, spirits, etc are not real.

Emeline Nunez Scales :

Former ghost tour guide here! Helen was a housekeeper at zealandia and friend of the owner, Sir Henry Phillips. He invited her to a party at the castle and promised her that she could bring her 7 year old daughter and she would be taken care of. A fire started in the library where the daughter was being kept and she perished. So Helen hung herself from the bridge in the early hours of the morning.

Did you know the bridge was rebuilt? Back in 1997 or 1998. I went up there after it was rebuilt and found the waste pile from the original bridge. I still have a little piece of it.

Oh dude, I love going up there last time I went the trees on the far side of the bridge had grown together to form a fae circle, and one of my friends took a picture standing in front of it, and you can see a white mist on the side of this photo with a very distinct face in it

I grew up in the Asheville area, more specifically Clyde. I miss those mountains. tell Helen I said Hi!

BadWolf666777 :

I live 5 to 10 minutes from that bridge it's a good story but since I've been living in Asheville NC for nearly 22 years yet I have enough sense not to go up there.

Yar :

I can't believe I can actually say I've been there. Didn't see or feel ghost

April💜 :

We used to go up there all the time as kids/teens. Haven’t seen her , but my daddy did! And we parked under the bridge called her name . And our car wouldn’t start. Heard a loud thump on hood got scared n tried to leave. We finally got it going. Stopped miles away, hand prints were on the hood in the dirt n dust.. freaked us out lol
