ok let me clear this matter up for all of you. the story is.. thearosa was an indian woman in love with a cowboy. when her tribe found out they came for the both of them. when they found them they were at the bridge. the tribe took her baby (because the dad was the cowboy) and threw it over the bridge. in shock thearosa jumped in the water to save the baby and also drowned. the tribe then killed the cowboy. if you go out there at night and say thearosa i have your baby 5 times you can see a ghostly figure along the water on one side of the bridge and on the other you will hear the indian drums and chanting. also the bridge is in valley center off of broadway and i think 119th. i know how to get there just dont remember the street name.

its on 109th just off meridian

i really just wish that somebody can tell me the rite directions to Thearosa’s Bridge…if anybody knows please email me….glennysteven22@sbcglobal.net

First of all there is no “correct” story. I have heard about 4 million different variations of the story for this bridge. People tell the story different everytime. Some say Theorosa was a farmers daughter who killed her children and others say she was an Indian maiden who lost her baby in a flood. We used to drive out the bridge since I lived just a few miles away. Everyone said that if you went to the bridge and said “Theorosa I am your child” she would pull you into the water and drown you. I’ve never seen any ghosts, lights or heard any strange noises at this bridge. It’s pretty much in the middle of nowhere and it is really small. The original wood bridge is no longer there, it burned down and now a small cement bridge stands there. It’s north of Valley Center right off of Meridian before 125th street if you really want to go there. Like I said before it is a small cement bridge so you might not notice it right off.

i have not been there myself but my mother and sister went and both saw a woman hanging from a tree. From what i heard after her child’s death, she hung herself.

Hey guys I’ve gotten interested in these hauntings around wichita but what really got my attention is a house or some place that has the green orb around it. My boss was tellin me about last night and heard it was at some time or is a domonic worshiper. Anybody heard about this, seen it or know where I might find it or more about it contact me please at squig9669@yahoo.com
thanks

ME AND MY SISTER AND HER BOYFRIEND AND MY FRIEND WERE GOING TO GO LAST NITE BUT MY SISTER’S BOYFRIEND FOR GOT WHERE IT WAS. SO WE DIDN’T GO. BUT AS SOON AS WE GET DIRECTIONS WERE GOING. OH AND MY SISTER’S BOYFRIEND SAID THAT IF YOU PARK ON THE BRIDGE YOUR CAR WON’T START. B/C HE HAD TO PUSH SEVERAL CARS OVER THE BRIDGE TO AND ONCE THEY WERE OVER THEY STARTED WORKING. I DON’T BELIEVE IN IT BUT I GUESS I’LL FIND OUT!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Theorosas story is true. She was part of my gr. gr. grandfathers kids. The family came to that area in 1873. And dealt with indians, death, life and birth. The fear and longing live on in memory.

i just typed my story and it didnt print. theorosa is part of my family we came to the area in 1873. will have to come back later maybe with my cousin theo!!!

I heard that thearosa and her baby crashed into the side of the bridge. And the baby roled out of the car and went to the bridge and fel into the pond and drowned then the mother got killed.

Well the story i grew up hearing was that thearosa was an indian woman and fell in love with a white man. The man got her preg. and the other indians found out they chased thearosa and the soulder to the bridge where they staded for a few days and during those days thearosa had her baby. When the other indians found her they put an arrow through thearosa and the white mans heart.Later after that they found the baby and drowned it. Now she is said to look for her lost baby.

I have been to the bridge, purely by accident at first. See, I am formally from Upstate N.Y. My first visit there was in the fall. I had rode a bike there with a freind. The freind had ducked into some brush to releave himself. I stayed at the bridge. I remember seeing a dog, perhaps a german shephard, it was wet and mud was caked in its fur. It stood for a moment in front of me. When the wind blew past me, i got a whiff of dead smell. Funny, I knew the dog was dead. I have never gone to that area since.

I have a question! I have heard that a indian warrior cut the baby into pieces and throughs the baby into the water and the mother walked up and down the bridge yelling Thearosa Thearosa until she died Thearsoa was the baby’s name. Only one of the bones of the baby hs been found today

the true story is that an indian woman who had a baby girl and named her Thearosa with a white man and because of that her tribe thought of her as a traitor and killed the man and threw Thearosa in the creek(there wasnt a bridge then it was built way after)they kept the mother prisnor and tortured her until one day she got away she went looking for her baby and to this day she still looks for her baby you can here her yelling Theorosa’s name and here baby cries…some people even see them….

This is the story I found online about Therosa’s bridge:

Kansas has numerous stories of ghostly apparitions that haunt old bridges, cemeteries and universities across the state. Haunting specters have been reported in nearly every town in Kansas. Reports have been made that ghosts still travel the Chisolm Trail and haunt old delivery stations of the Pony Express. Kansas has a long and well known history of ghostly visitors. Some of these terrifying tales may only be urban legend but some, as many believers will attest, are frightingly real.

Therosa’s
Bridge:

One of the oldest and most famous ghost stories of the prairie is the sad tale of Therosa and the bridge she haunts. The bridge located 3 miles out of Valley Center crosses Jester Creek. It was here that in the late 1800’s a local farm wife named Therosa gave birth to an illegitimate child. Therosa was so frightened of what her husband would do to her if he found out, that in a panic she threw her child from the bridge and into the creek below. Therosa, then realizing what she had done flung herself into the waters below, hoping to find and save her baby. Her attempts were in vain and tragically both mother and child drowned. Since their deaths over 100 years ago many people have reported eerie shapes looming in the water, floating orbs of light, cars that stall as they cross the bridge, cold breezes on the hottest of summer nights, voices in the darkness and a baby’s cry floating on the breeze…

I have been to the bridge and heard some things. The first time that I went there is saw a glowing baby caridge floating about six inches off of the water. I have found that if you go in a group of three people or less you get better results. I wourks the best at night.
