The bridge in the story is Azalia Bridge, on county road 800S, between U.S. 31 and St. Rd. 11.I believe this is all "tall tale," as I have never seen any documentation to support it.If it had actually happened, there would be a civil death record for the woman; and newspaper accounts of the event.Kids used to go down to the bridge anticipating seeing the ghost of the woman.Great fun, but no substance.It worked better if you got REALLY drunk first...
The old bridge has been replaced with a modern concrete span, so isn't nearly as spooky as "the old days."
