Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

Hell’s Gate

Oxford, Alabama

The bridge has earned this name because it is said if one stops on the bridge and turns around, the road behind him looks like the fiery gates of Hell. Many years ago, a young couple lost their lives on this bridge. On a dark night, if one stops on the bridge and turns off all the lights, a member of the couple will get into the vehicle, leaving a wet spot on the seat.

I think you guys should stop talking about hauntings like this. Trust me, they will be out to get you and they seek peace. I mean, ghosts are dead and there isnt much else to do to find peace. so just shut up about hell’s gate. jeez

I grew up in Oxford and have been over this bridge many, many late nights. One night I was driving, a friend was next to me and two other friends were in the back seat. It was raining like crazy and honestly anytime you drove over that bridge (day or night) it was scary cause it was so old and rickety…at night it was super scary because the creek would always have tons of fog which would just elevate the fear level…but that night…with the rain pounding down, as I drove over the bridge I got a serious case of goosebumps and I looked up into the rear-view mirror and I swear I saw a third *person* in the backseat between my friends. It was a male, obviously dead and in a serious state of decay – and yes he was soaking wet – I screamed, gunned the engine and proceeded to freak out. I never drove over that bridge again, day or night for any reason whatsoever.

And btw – for those of you in or around Oxford – Cheaha has a ton of ghosts, (if you go on the trail to Bald Rock at night with no lights, you will often find a Native American companion to *guide* your way..) also there used to be an old bakery in North Anniston at the north end of Noble Street (almost to the cemetary) where a man got in an argument with his son, shot him and then turned the gun on himself – you can still see him from the second floor window watching for his son to come home, and lastly – Cold Water Creek has two very young and confused ghosts..in 1983 4 teenagers were out four-wheel driving in early winter and their Jeep got stuck in some muddy water…two of them left to get help and left the jeep running so the other two could stay warm, when they got back to the jeep the two boys in the back had died from carbon monoxide poison…my belief is that they don’t know they are dead and remain there waiting for their friends to come back…

Happy Haunting…er Hunting…

hell’s gate… bull it is just a bridge that is now closed down i have spent several nights with my friends on it waiting for something to happen, however if you want to find out for your self… you have to be in oxford and there is a house that is always decored for chirstmas, well until the lady died the other year, you go down the new by-pass till you get to the oxford exchange right across the street there is an old old road with the only thing you can see is a feild a big house and maybe some old chicken house things, you go down past the house, around the curve and there you go watch out for bunnies and deer though, you can’t park on the bridge now, but you can park beside and walk up!

I’ve lived and grew up in Oxford, when I had just turned sixteen, I had my first car accident on Boiling Springs RD, where the bridge is located, right after crossing over the bridge. I’ve always heard stories of that place when I was younger but that night, I thought I saw someone in the road, and hit an embankment on the other end of a sharp curve, and crawling out of my truck all I could think about was getting away from that area. There are lots of places like that in Calhoun County, there’s the bridge in Dearmanville, the old cobblestone mental institution in Anniston, the factory in Jacksonville, lots and lots of the plantation homes all over the county. I love Alabama!!!!!
