Visiting a spooky place in broad daylight

Schrecken13
September 28, 2024
Ever so often I think about my trip earlier this summer to visit West Virginia's metal monster, the New River Gorge Bridge. I was playing back a couple of videos I recorded while traversing the catwalk. I decided to upload one of these, as it is rather unlike most others I had seen. I believe&hel...

What makes it special

Schrecken13
August 26, 2024
Some more thoughts on bridges that are, or are not, as the case may be, identified as deadly by signage placed upon their spans. Upon reviewing my footage of the Delaware green monster, I noticed that its crisis hotline info is placed on the lane signal signs above the roadway. Probably as there ...

Buried alive….or not?

August 15, 2024
Now that my summer vacation is over, I've been thinking again about some of the other dark aspects of big, impressive bridges. Especially with regards to a pervasive urban legend that I've heard over the years, including most recently from my husband, no less. When we were planning to visit the N...

Warning signs

Schrecken13
August 14, 2024
As we were traveling home there was one strange thing I noticed that I didn't see on the way to Wildwood. I was preparing to film our drive over of the Delaware Memorial Bridge when I noticed a sign along the side of the road. The sign wasn't very big, nor brightly colored, and it…

A visit to the shore

Schrecken13
August 13, 2024
Of the three steel titans of the Delmarva area (the Key Bridge, the Delaware Memorial and the Bay Bridge), I would have to say that the Delaware monster is the most dreadful and intimidating looking upon approach. The Key Bridge would have come in second, as it was somewhat steep, and the Bay Bri...

An intimidating structure

Schrecken13
August 12, 2024
An interesting aside – perhaps there is a way to identify which bridges are guilty of drawing jumpers. Those blue crisis hot line signs can mark them as monsters that have seen and enabled such deaths. These aren't too easy to see from a driver's perspective, but by watching drive over videos slo...

The good, the bad and the gone forever

Schrecken13
August 11, 2024
This then begs the question as to why and how some of these monsters become such an integral part of their environment, in a human sense, for good or for bad. Even when speaking of the dark and sinister side of these structures, one cannot ignore the beneficial aspects of their existence. I would...

The frustrations of monster hunting

Schrecken13
August 6, 2024
It won't be long before I will be heading to the New Jersey Shore to spend the weekend at the beach and visit some of the seaside amusement parks. My husband, as I figured, has no interest in taking the ferry from Delaware across to Cape May. The plan now is to take the “northern”…

A most disturbing sight

Schrecken13
August 4, 2024
For some reason I keep thinking back on something I saw while on a vacation earlier this summer. The first part of my vacation was a visit to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. I went there for the annual Coaster Mania event which was held on a Friday. But once that was over, it was…

That which provokes a sense of unease

Schrecken13
July 31, 2024
Then there is the question of “why” with regards to this one bridge I've never seen in real life. Yes I did know some of its history when the dreams began. Specifically the accidental ship strike decades ago and the deaths that resulted from that incident. But the Skyway is far from the only brid...
