Geocache Description:

Scare Factor Rating: ***** (FIVE)

The first in a five part series of some of Marylands most haunted places.

Joppa - Jericho Covered Bridge - This bridge is the last covered bridge standing in Harford County, built in the early 1800's. Legend has it that several lynching occurred at this bridge during and after the Civil War, in which the captured people were hung from the upper rafters, sometimes many at a time. If you stop your car on the narrow bridge late at night, and look in your rear view mirrors, the image of a swinging body can be seen.

This offset cache can only be done at night. Go to the listed coordinates with light in hand, and look around. You should be at the bottom of the bridge on the west side. Once you've spotted the cache, think logically and retrieval is easy. Make sure to bring your camera and snap away while under cover, I've captured many strange images myself. Parking can be found one car at a time just south of the bridge. Please be careful. As always, have fun!
