THE OVERTOUN BRIDGE: WHY DO HUNDREDS OF DOGS JUMP FROM THIS BRIDGE?
from History Mystery · host History Mystery
Episode 12 | History's Mysteries — Unexplained EventsIn this Mystery episode we focus on the Overtoun Bridge near Dumbarton, Scotland — where approximately 50 dogs have jumped to their deaths since the 1950s, almost always from the same spot, almost always on clear days, with hundreds more surviving the fall and some climbing back up and jumping again.This episode covers the documented history of the phenomenon, the olfactory hypothesis involving mink populations in the undergrowth below, the problems with that hypothesis, the bridge's design features, and an honest discussion of what a definitive investigation would look like and why it hasn't been conducted.Animal behaviorists, veterinarians, and paranormal investigators have all examined it. The question remains genuinely unresolved.#HistoryMystery #OvertounBridge #Mystery #Scotland #MysteryPodcast
