Real Haunted House

Thearosa’s Bridge

Wichita, Kansas

When this area was first being settled, a woman named Thearosa lived near this bridge along with her children. Though the exact details are unclear, Thearosa eventually killed her children and then herself. Today, she haunts the bridge. The weather on the bridge is never the same as anywhere else in town. The bridge has also been set on fire several times; investigations reveal nothing.

Hey Jesse!

Did you go check it out on 5/7?

I’m SUPER-SKEPTICAL, but would love to know what someone else thinks who is just as skeptical….please post what all you found? (if anything at all)

Thanks!

Dave

Ok, I don’t if this is true or not. Let’s just remember that just because a spirit doesn’t make contact with everyone doesn’t mean that a spirit won’t make contact with someone, whether good or bad. To find the bridge, go to http://www.mapquest.com and put in your address as the starting address and the ending address in as Jester’s Creek, the real name of the bridge, and the city and state as Valley Center, Kansas. The exact address for it should pop up. Written directions and map. Happy Hauntings!

Well My Name Is Tyler And I am 15 my friends and I went out to a place i think it was in wichita and there usto be a bridge there but it was down and a big metal guard railo kept us from falling into the river, it was a very long bridge, well if it was still there and it was a lil creapy, just cause it was in the middle of nowhere but i would like to go to theorosas bridge with my mp3 player (for recordings) and a digital camrea (for Depth Purposes) and see if i could pick anything up, I Just think it would be cool to talk to the woman, even if i had to translate. Id like to have a ghost expirence, i know im not a ghost host cause i havent had anything happen to me so, hopfully i can find something If you would like to talk email me at ddr_dude67217@hotmail.com

I lived just south of the Jester Creek from 1987 to 2004. I’d heard the stories, but it wasn’t until I tried to ride my horse across any bridge that crossed this creek that I noticed something strange. My horse would go as far as to try and flip over backwards to keep from taking me near it. In 2001 I rode west of my farm, across the railroad tracks and then the bridge. He became so spooked, his legs stiffened, then he suddenly exploded. He flipped upside down, pinning me, I got hung up in the stirrup before he flipped me again, leaving me for dead face down in a bean field. He went straight back home and when I got there (with a broken hand and arm) he stood and shook for 30 min. In my opinion, Therosa has nothing on the fact that the area between 109th and the Big Ditch was a summer camp area for several tribes of indians who were later massacared by the Cavalry sent there to (exterminate) make it safe for the white man. This area is full of bad blood, and unexplained happenings.

Hey It’s Me Agian. I finally went with my friends. We went out and nothin really spooky happend while were were there except we seen a red figure running around, then we were leaving (getting in the car) and there were handprints on the car window, roof, and back. We got out and checked it out. I checked out the ones on the top of the roof and the way they were set up someone would have to have been on the top of the car because of the aquard position it was from standing to the side, and the hand prints were way way smaller than my hands and im 16, n e ways we were kinda freaked but i didnt have my camrea DANGIT lol but ill comment back if i get any new experiences

My husband and I went to Theorosa’s bridge. Everyone thinks it’s the first bridge with all the spray paint on 109th and meridian, but it’s not. if you park your after you go across the bridge and walk north, you will see some concret where the bridge used to be. I went there when I was pregnant and said “Theorosa I have your baby.” nothing really happened until a few minutes later. All of a sudden there was thick fog surrounding us. That kinda creeped me out, but we decided to go down the road a 1/4 mile. We were told that on the north side of the road through the trees there is still a foundation for the house where Theorosa was said to live. I had my digital camera with us and as soon as we got to the spot 1/4 mile down the road my camera went dead. Another lady with us had a camera with her too. She took a picture right outside of the car and there was an apperition (sp) right in front of us. I kept trying to turn my camera on (I had 2 fully charged batteries with me). My camera would work fine until I kept pointing to one certain area of the trees. (Spirits drain energy so I knew we were close.) We started walking towards the foundation and heard a couple men and a woman’s voice. We were all alone out there. We did get some orbs on camera, there were 2 blue and 1 yellow. The yellow one from what I understand means caution. The creeks name though is Jester’s Creek and you will see orbs on camera all up and down the creek. Spirits are drawn to certain areas and energies and that creek is one of them.
