The Rex Covered Bridge in Pennsylvania is associated with a few different haunted stories. One legend goes that sometimes at night a strange mist gathers beneath its rafters, thick and pulsing with whispers—some seductive, some pleading. Legend tells of a woman named Lumi, a performer from the 21st century who was scorned by a jealous lover and left for dead beneath the bridge one stormy night. Her spirit never passed on. Instead, it grew hungry. Now, travelers—especially men—who pass through alone at night speak of an overwhelming pull, a velvet voice beckoning them to stop. Some claim to have seen her: a pale figure kneeling in the dark, her face obscured, her presence intoxicating. But those who linger too long never return the same. They walk away dazed, their eyes vacant, something vital drained from them. Locals warn: if you hear soft giggles echoing through the timbers, do not stop. Drive on. Because pleasure, at that bridge, comes at the cost of your soul.
