The town I grew up in near Montgomery, Al. has a local ghost story about 13 bridges that supposedly exists down some dark rural dirt road.

The story goes that one Friday the 13th past a young girl fell over the 13th bridge and drowned. Ever since then if you drive one way across the bridges you can only count 12 bridges, but if you drive back the other way you will drive over the 13th bridge.
If you stop and peer out over the foggy water on the 13th bridge, you could sometimes see the ghost of the girl that drowned. If the ghost caught your gaze (and you fail your saving throw) then you would be drawn into the creek and drown, becoming a ghost yourself.

Boo!
