I’ve lived in this area since the 50’s. The original wooden bridge was burned down in the early 70’s when a parent of a Valley Center High School student burned it down after hearing about the haunts. There has been a new cement bridge built over this creek where most of the activity has been occurring. The foundation of her home was still there in the late 70’s and was a local party spot that kept local police men busy. The stories have varied over the years. Yes this place is haunted!! I’ve seen many things there but most were figured out to be nothing.
The story was that a white local man married an Indian lady and she became pregnant. In the early 1900’s jobs were scarce and the local people looked down on mixed marriages with Indians. The husband went west searching for a job to support his family, but never returned. The baby was born and Thearosa was unable to take care of her child. They were starving and she couldn’t get any help. One night in a depressed hysterical state she took her baby wrapped in a sheet and dropped her off the old wooden bridge and walked back to her small house in the woods. Later she realized what she had done and went back to find her child. Unable to find the child she jumped off the bridge killing herself.
The story goes if you go to the bridge at midnight and call out Thearosa Thearosa where are you, she will appear in the creek searching for her baby.
Many stories from locals have seen her and have had things happen to their cars while crossing the bridge. People have seen her walking the road back into her house. I have seen lights and images but that was many years ago. I have fled from there feeling as if my life was in danger. People used to have gatherings at the foundation of her house. To the best of my knowledge that was all plowed over several years ago when the old bridge was destroyed and removed before the new cement bridge was erected.
I have heard that the haunting still occurs.
I still live in Valley Center, Ks.
This place is real, and yes it is haunted.

The bridge is not in Wichita!!!!! Please change to fact. It is about 10 or so miles into VALLEY CENTER, which in fact is not even a suburb of Wichita. Sorry but I have seen a least 5 website that has this false information on it. I am a form believer that if you are going to post a story you should at least have the right town. I grew up near there, and I know the place.

@Pious

Actually, Valley Center is in fact a suburb of Wichita. Suburb: residential areas on the outskirts of a city or large town; a district lying immediately outside a city or town, esp. a smaller residential community. Valley Center is literally 4 miles north of Wichita. When giving a general idea of where the bridge is to others outside the immediate area, saying the bridge is in Valley Center is pointless – saying it’s in the Wichita area gives a better idea to those not from here.

Oh and also, the bridge is in fact about 2.5 miles north of Valley Center city limits, about 100 yards to the west of Meridian.

i whent to the haunted bridge with friends and we didn’t see or herd anything.

Hi my name is kristin, i plan to go to the bridge sometime this weekend. Has anyone ever taken a baby out there?

I was babysitting my niece who is 4 months and went out there with my friend and she was fine. No ghost no lady saying that my niece was her baby. lol. So yea it would be fine if you took your baby out there she really enjoyed it, it was so peaceful and quiet.

that’s NOT TRUE!

stupid!

Sorry to shatter ur dreams guys, but went there, spent a good hour or better there, absolutly NOTHING out there! We tried everything under the sun, and nothing.All myth, anywhere else that is supposed to be really haunted?

Whatever you stupid person you are such a liar you did not go out there. You freaking mother ****** are a dumbass *****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You just say you went out there but really your too scared to even drive by it!!!!!!!!!

Want some Video Proof??????

me and my friends recently went there. the real story was about the indians chasing her. the only thing out of normal we found was alot of spray paint on signs. we called her name out several time. i called my father when we found nothing. we said we were in the right spot. this bridge is bogus and boring.

I have been to the Theorosa’s bridge I thik it is awsome I was there with my girlfriend Amanda I called out I had her child she trough me over the bridge I broke my left arm and my right leg it hurt really bad.

The true story of this is: A local farm wife had a child by another man. Inorder to hide her shame she threw the baby from the bridge and then drown herself in the river below. They say now that if you go onto the bidge late at night and say the following “Theorosa, Theorosa, my name is Theorosa.” Then she will come out, attack you and try to throw you from the bridge. I know this because i live no more than three miles from it.

ok some weird things happened last night.We havent been there since the end of summer, so we were really scared.When we got there no one was there except us.When we got there we parked our car on the first bridge.It was already pretty cold last night but when we got out of the car the wind started to pick up and it got really cold. In the howls of the wind we heard the indian drums. We were scared out of our minds, but we decided to stay. So we started to walk down a path in the cornfield, we walked for about 5 minutes and we looked to the left side of us and there was a flag that had the thirteen colonies on it.That was freaky because that had to be a long time ago. So we decided to turn around and on the way back our heavy duty flashlight went out so we sprinted as fast as we could back to the car. When we got back in our car the flashlight worked perfectly fine. So we decided to walk down and under the bridge.When we started walking down there we heard something run the through the trees it had to be something big because it made a lot of the trees shake.So we decided to go home for that night.

We went back again today we wanted to get to the bridge.So we had to go through this little path by the river there was a lot of trees and bushes. On the way there there was a little opening where u could see the river and when we looked over there we saw the baby floating in the water. So i decided to be a retard and yell theorosa i see your baby and she came running out of the woods and when we saw her the baby dissapered. And theorosa started staring at us and said be careful u r in danger. So we decided to keep on going ecause we didnt think she would do anything,but we were wrong. We kept on walking down the path and we finally found the concrete bridge. We all jumped on top of it and said therosa i have your baby 3 times. And she came out of the water and pushed my brother in the water and looked at us and said i told you you should be careful.So we were freaked out my brother got out, he wasnt hurt. So we decided to leave and go back to the car. We finally made it back to the car. When we got there my brothers rear view mirror was turned around. We got in the car and turned it back around. And we drove out of there fast. When we looked down the path again we saw a black dog barking and theorosa laughung at us.We will never go back there again. And knowone else should either. THIS PLACE IS FREAKY AND VERY HAUNTED!

We just went to tonight and we all went down to the end of the creak
and my friend, somethin pulled him down and holded him down and he couldnt get up.
and there was a dead dog there with his body cut open and his tail chopped off.

So be careful!

i just blinked and saw her face oh my god im leaving awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha

Ya know, who cares about the story and the specifications of what happened to her. Isn’t the question whether or not she’s/them are real.And Debi, damn are you obessessed with this.You don’t have to constantly remind readers you were supposedly family members with the deceased, even IF you are.The reak hauntings are in Stahl Kansas.Finally, if people took pictures and ****, why don’t you post them with a link for the skeptics, like myself.I’d like to see orbs and ghostly figures.I’d believe when i see but i’m not saying it’s not real.It’s like aliens or bigfoot.

DOOD I WENT THERE LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS CREEPY CUZ YOU COULD HEAR SOME BABY CRYING PRETTY CREEPY ESSAY

no! i went there last week and me and a few friends were bored so we decided to go underneath it and there was a terrible smell and all of the sudden we saw some thing walking twards us, we though it was a deer but it was way too loud and way too big then we freaked and tried to go back up as fast as we could. we got to our cars but my friend that was with me said that he felt something grab his leg, we thought he was kidding, till the next day he had sprained the same ankel. i thought it was creepy. but the freaky part is, is that i didnt think it was true that your car wouldnt start if you parked on the bridge, well think again…ya didnt start for about 10 minutes. we just grabed my ipod and listened to jesus music and prayed. Till this day i am scared to go back but if you want a good rush, thats the place to go. but i recommend you bring an extra pair of underwear and cigarettes because you will really be freaking out. but she will not touch you or hurt you physically, she will just freak you out!
