Believed to be haunted by the ghost of a young girl, Edna Collins Bridge was built in 1922 and spans Little Walnut Creek along County Road 450 N, west of Glenn Flint Lake. It is the only covered bridge in Indiana to be named after a woman, but it is not Edna Collins who haunts it. In the late 1920s, the story goes, an adolescent girl used to play around the creek near the bridge. Her family lived nearby, and they would leave her to play while they drove into town. On the way home, they stopped at the bridge and honked three times. Usually, their daughter would join them, but on that day, she did not appear. Her father found her body floating in the flooded creek. According to legend, the laughter of a young girl can sometimes be heard near the bridge. If you stop your car on the bridge and honk three times, the girl’s apparition will appear. Some visitors have even seen her ghost sitting in their backseat!
