    horse ran away. Harmon fell off, and was killed. His spirit remained on the Bridge, and when night fell, no on could cross it. Even a man with a horse and car, when he would come to the bridge, the horse would not cross it.
    This went on for a few nights so a priest was sent for. The priest out of Hacketstown came and "laid" the spirit. From that day to this, his spirit was never seen on the Bridge.
