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.

Hi,this is family of Theorosa.We lived there from the mid 1800s to the mid 1900s.Some of our families children still cry and can be heard there.Some of what is felt is the curse put upon the women in our family for the sins of our fathers.It is a story of personal interest.I have found alot of judgement from the general public.So I am very careful about the info I release.Please believe that the stories are real.It is the memories of our dear departed family that you feel and sense.Gotta go for now ,will be back again Catch me at theorosas.bridge@yahoo.com

The story of therosa, she had a biracial baby and the tribe found out about it and they told her if she didnt get rid of the baby they would so they took the baby and drowned it.

Ok, I am 14, My 18 year old brother and I went to this bridge. Along the side of the road b4 the bridge we saw a bunch of crosses, and ahead, we saw 2 casckets, but they disappeard as we got closer to the bridge. When we got on the bridge, my brother parked his car, and we got out. he left his keys sitting on the dash, like he always usually does. we stayed there 4 like 30 min. my brother had a camera phone and he was trying to take pictures to see if there were any orbs, his phone instantly turned off! But his battery was fully charged b4 we went, that freaked us out. Then all of the sudden, we heard “where is my baby” 3 times, it got louder every time, so we were so scared, we got back in the car and tried to leave, but we couldnt, the keys were gone! we did not know what happened, our only choice was to get oun and try to find them. We finally found them at the end of the bridge, so we went back to the car, and the door was locked, this was so unbelieveable, we unlocked the doors got in the car, but it wouldnt start, and we turned on the lights and saw a woman in front of the car screaming from the top of her lungs, the car suddenly started, we left in a hurry, every since, we havent been there, it was the scariest thing ive ever experienced!!!

Ok just to clear the record. There is a bridge, yes. There are also ruins of the supposed ‘Thearosa house’ about a 1/2 mile away. But thats really about it. The place is spooky I’ll admit, we go out there every halloween. I even captured orbs and a white mass on film last year. Many of the stories on here seem soo unrealistic, maybe they are just that – stories.

The reality is though, that any place can be spooky if enough people believe in it. It helps that the bridge is out in the middle of no where, wayy far away from city lights and noises. Your mind races wondering what that sound was, or where that light came from. I would highly suggest going out there on a cold winters night, you’ll feel a chill from more than just the temperature.

The only good story I have about the bridge has been passed down to me by my mother. (I’m 28 and this happened before I was born). Sometime in the 70’s, my mom and a bunch of her friends went out to the bridge to mess around. This was back when the bridge was wooden, it was broken down but it still existed. They drove in 3 cars, parked next to the bridge, got out and began climbing around like monkeys on the thing. My mom and her best friend were the only sober ones there. All of a sudden, she said the bridge started glowing blue. They screamed for everyone to get off the bridge and eventually they did. But when they all got back to their cars, not one of them would start.

Sounds too spooky to be true right? Well thats what I said until she showed me a news article from the Wichita Eagle website detailing how many people had been seeing the blue glow of the bridge.

Makes you wonder whats really out there…

I went out there last night, we didn’t go far enough on meridian and found two bridges on a dirt road, but my and my buds didn’t feel like it was theorosa bridge.. We decided to leave and stopped by some gas station adn asked to store keeper if he know where the bridge was, he gave us the exact directions to the bridge. We stopped on the bridge, I lit up a cig, and we just stood there listening. We walked around, leanded over the bridge a few times.. the only strange thing that happened was the wind picked up a lot and it got really cold, it was already a little chilly, but the hard wind had more chill to it. We got interrupted by a oncoming car, so we scattered and left, good place to get spooked, i will go back soon..

I went out there with my sister today around 6
and we actually walked down about half way to the creek. We were leaning over to see under the bridge and we started hearing wind. But There was no wind around. We decided to leave cuz we were spooked and at the end of the street there was a cross and a bunch of weird little objects across the ditch.
I decided to climb over there to check it out. My sister told me to shut up and we could hear the loud wind again. But it never sounded like wind. Like a really loud deep moaning. As we were on the bridge there was no wind but the moment we got off the bidge there was alot of wind.

I may go out there in a few weeks, just to see if there’s anything there. I’ll post if I see anything, or even if I don’t.

when we got to valley center we stopped at a gas station on meridian and asked how to get there she told us the second bridge on 109th. we went there to the first bridge we stood upon the side of it and said therorosa i have your baby five times and then 5 min later we heard someone scream and then we heard sticks breakin and we heard splashes in the puddles of water. it was weird but we dont know if it was her

Me and my friends are going out to the bridge this friday. We all believe in this kinda stuff but im just a little scptical. I do believe that there is supernatural and hauntings and stuff like that but it just probably that i never have experienced anything that had to deal with that stuff.

i would like to take a camera but what i dont understand is how come if you are there and looking around you do see anything. But if you take a camera or a video recorder you can see stuff that is just something that i dont understand.

This stuff is interesting i guess im just one of those who have to see it or experience something to that extent to believe it. please give me any answer you have by emailing me i would appreciate it.

I am sorry to rain on your haunt, but, this is one of the perpertual urban legends. I am in my late thirties and grew up in Denver. When I was living there we had the same story. Except the woman’s name was Thearona. She murdered her children by drowning them in the lake. If you stood by the water and repeated this same type of phrase, you might see her ghost. Please do a little research. Atchison is a haunted place to visit, don’t waste your time on a bridge.

I live in valley Center on Jacobs street I can walk to the bridge from where I live, my boyfriend and I spent all last summer there..and saw and heard nothing..except for animals…I think Theorosas bridge is a legend created by a bunch of bored teenagers living in a small town, people think they hear and see things at Theorosas Bridge because they are too drunk or too high to know that what they are hearing and seeing is just animals..its the country there are lots of animals.

I have been to this bridge many times and nothing happens at all> This is a myth and was started at least 25 years ago. Every town has a story. Valley Center needed one so this is the best they could do.
