I am from out of town, visiting on business and decided to jog accross it and back. First of all, just the sheer height and winds make it somewhat terrifying to run across, at least to me.
Secondly, and I know this sounds strange, I kept feeling these evil feelings, with visions of me jumping, and how easy it would be to just jump. It was very bizarre, so bizarre, that I did not even want to run back over the bridge. I can't explain those feelings. It was almost like there were evil spirits or something that were attacking me as I ran over the bridge, putting these thoughts in my mind.
Let me say that I am a Christian, very well balanced, have a good job, great education, wonderful family, and I have never entertained suicide. I have everything to live for, and I am not depressed or stressed in any sense of the word. Never have been. In fact, I think it is selfish and detestable.
But, all I can say, is that I felt some very evil things and thoughts come across me as crossed the first 1/4 of the bridge on each side. It is almost like the middle of the bridge, in the center, is where I felt these feelings.
It just makes me wonder if there are evil spirits that prey upon vulnerable depressed people up there, or if there are tormented spirits that have died there, since 1000+ people have jumped.
All I can say, I will never jog or walk over that bridge ever again. There is something not right about that bridge and the visions and feelings I got were terrifying.
