Dog Face Bridge Investigation

Back in the 1950's a couple were driving over a bridge heading out on their honeymoon, When a dog ran out in front of them, the couple swerved and ended up driving off the side of the bridge killing the dog. There are two stories, one both died, and the male died but either way the woman's head and the dogs head was chopped off and they were unable to find the woman's body and the dogs head,

Address: On 1100 W just North of 500 S in San Pierre, Indiana

Directions: Take Highway 421 to 500 S and turn West on 500 S. Go a little ways and you will come to a stop sign; that road is 1100 W. Turn north on 1100 W and follow it about 1/2 mile and you will come to the bridge and a dead end. The first bridge is approximately one mile off the main road. You may park on the original gravel road and stop near the first barrier. Visitors must walk from there to the bridge.

Hauntings: Now it is said as you walk down the path there are two bridges the first bridge is weak and very old the second is the one they crashed off. It isn't even there yet you can see the cement sidings from where it once stood. Supposedly when you go down the path you will see the body of the woman wearing the dog’s head, if you do not beat her off of the first bridge and back to your car she will kill you, by supposedly eating you alive. There have been rumors of bodies found and people being shot at. As you walk you can hear strange animal snorting howls and growls, while the entire area is made of swamp and it is a known fact that, wolves and coyotes do not go near swampy areas.

The Ghost Research Society investigated Dog Face Bridge on May 27, 2022 team members included: Paul Adams, Charles Williams, Marge Such, Mike Rosario and Dale Kaczmarek.

Equipment setup: Mostly hand-held equipment was used such as digital recorders and cameras, camcorders, ParaTek app and EMF devices such as K-IIs and Melmeters.

Experiments performed: A single ParaTek session was conducted near the entrance to the first bridge.

Personal experiences:

Mike Rosario: Intro and Equipment Used: For this investigation, we traveled to Dog Face Bridge, located in San Pierre, Indiana. This took off on Friday, May 27, 2022, at approximately 12:25pm with Dale Kaczmarek, and a few other members of the GRS team. Afternoon weather was a bit warm, with skies cloudy, windy, with a slight drizzle. Equipment used in this investigation were my K-II Meter; a Philips VoiceTracer Digital Voice Recorder, iPhone 8+; and a DVC 4K Ultra HD 48mp Night Shot Digital Video Camcorder.

Initial Investigation: For this investigation, I was accompanied by Dale, Chuck, Paul, and Marge. I began by doing my usual K-II sweeps around the bridge. I remember it being around 1.2mG at its highest reading in and around the bridge area. I walked the full length or this very old, dilapidated, rickety bridge, filled with holes, rotten asphalt, and missing wooden beams, and some bottom support trusses where you could literally see all the way down into the Kankakee River from good 25 or so feet! We had done a couple of short EVP sessions with the Phasma Box before the weather started to deteriorate a bit more.

Evidence: Upon reviewing all of my evidence, I did not capture any video evidence, but did get one piece of audio evidence from the Phasma Box Session. Evidence taken is below:

~ “Your soul.” (Location: Right near the bridge).

Marge Sucha: Equipment I used: Digital recorder

The weather was cloudy, rainy and cool. Once the car was parked we had about a 3/4 mile walk to the bridge.

The story behind this is a honeymooning couple was driving along this road and when a dog jumped out on the road causing the car to swerve off the bridge. Both the couple and dog were killed. People have reported seeing bodies, a woman with a dog's head attached, and scratching, growling noises.

The bridge was pretty cool looking. The part you would have driven on was taken over nature. Trees, grass, bushes, & vines, you could not see a road. The top part was steel and partially exposed. It appeared to be in the middle of nowhere.

Due to the weather we did a quick EVP session. We did get some replies but nothing that really made sense.

Charles Williams: Personal Experiences- None

Once again I was leery because of the mile walk, and tall foliage. The entire group was infested

with tics, except me surprisingly! Nothing sticks out here, probably urban legend, will review

evidence.

Dale Kaczmarek: This was an interesting trip that I, at first thought, we wouldn’t make due to some online posts of unruly people and visitors to this remote site. However we encountered no one probably due to the increment weather; cool and rainy.

Some from the group crossed the first bridge but I did not due to holes where one could fall all the way to the river. The second bridge is where allegedly a lot of paranormal activity has taken place in the past. That bridge is no longer there, just some concrete from the original construction.

Evidence collected:

Afraid dogface.MP4 – while conducting a ParaTek session, a question was asked, “Is it true that a couple crashed here?” The device responded with, “Afraid.”

Bill dogface.MP4 – while conducting a ParaTek sessions, a question was asked, “Can you tell me who died here?” The device responded with, “Bill.”

Your soul dogface.MP4 – while conducting an EVP session, the ParaTek blurted out, “Your soul.”

Words spoken by the ParaTek app: designate, Bill, waves, belive, Joshua, who, both, second, your soul, said, afraid, bible, Samuel and nine.

Conclusions: If I thought the first bridge was a bit safer for our group to cross, I would have gone to go on to the second bridge as that was apparently where the couple crashed over the bridge and where most of the activity was reported. The first bridge was overgrown with foliage and difficult to see where to step. Perhaps a follow-up might be in order here.

The word “belive” came up here and some other places. The meaning of that word is to remain, stay or abide. In parts of Scotland, it is used as an adverb that means soon. So the use of that word in this environment is interesting as it could be interpreted as “something” or “someone” remaining or staying at this location.

We did have three names come through the ParaTek; Bill, Joshua and Samuel. It would be interesting to see if any of those names might have died at this location. The stories told of this area sound more like urban legend than true stories but even urban legends begin somewhere with someone relating a narrative, incredible as this one may be and urban legends usually get sensationalized throughout the years so that what is eventually being related bears no resemblance to the original story.
