S2 Ep1: Helen's Bridge - Bridge to the Other Side

In this episode, I dive into the eerie lore and unsettling history of Helen’s Bridge, a gothic stone structure tucked away in the hills of Asheville, North Carolina. Officially known as Zealandia’s Bridge, it’s a place where the past lingers—and some say, so do the dead. I unravel the tragic story of Helen, a grieving mother whose spirit is said to haunt the bridge after a devastating loss. Over the years, countless reports have surfaced—phantom screams, sudden mechanical failures, and ghostly apparitions under the archway. But how much of this legend is grounded in truth, and how much is myth? From its early 20th-century origins to chilling first-hand accounts, I explore what makes Helen’s Bridge one of North Carolina’s most talked-about paranormal hotspots. Is it simply an old tale passed down through generations—or a true bridge to the other side?
