Far beyond the bright lights of the city,
Shame, shame, what a pity;
A car in the night ran through the rail,
Left no trace but a gory trail.
The squealing tires and the smashing blow,
Can still be heard down Summit Row;
The screaming voices of the dead,
Echo loudly through your head.
A headless ghoul slinking through the night,
My! My, what a fright,
Haunting those who dare to tread
Across her everlasting bed.
Those who have not seen the misty veil,
Claim it is only a weird tale,
Those who’ve braved the night and seen the veil,
Claim to have been put under her spell.
Brave and fearless though men may be,
Shall be terrified by the sight they see.
The stroke of midnight brings her out,
The headless ghoul running about.
While cars continue to tread the bridge,
She lies below the rivers ridge,
Telling her story to the passersby,
Through her ghostly lullaby.
The story passes from old to young,
About foul play which had been done.
A mystery remains around the ridge,
Since the wreck at the Summit Bridge.
I grew up hearing about this accident at the bridge. Made a visit at night with friends. Had an interesting experience.......wrote the poem. I didn't go into all that the story did because it was sad plus very frightening and I have had enough fear in life to last a lifetime.
I have always been interested in the supernatural, psychic ability, stories of people seeing things others cannot see. I am a bit psychic myself. I began innocently studying Psychic Phenomenon in college on my own and learning of ghost sightings. I pulled friends in with me and we would go “ghost hunting”. I was 18 years old; open to ideas that made no sense to most. Later I felt for me, it was a wrong thing to pursue even though I do have many experiences that happen without my pursuing them however, feel those things are blessings, in that it usually helps someone in real trouble.
Hope you enjoy the poem!
