This is Dead Man's bridge, on the South Side of Indiana.

So this story has been around for awhile, and I did grow up around this area as a kid.
So there is this young man in is mid to late 30's, he is having a rough time with his new marriage, him and his wife are starting to fight alot after just 6 months into this, from what I have been told, he became bitter and angry, but also started to suffer from depression. The man told his wife he was taking a walk late one evening, but never returned home. After about a day, police got a call of a man hanging by a belt from a rail on a train bridge.

I've been told the only time you see this guy is if you are on the tracks when a train comes, that he will push you off of the tracks.

There have been a few other claimed deaths on these tracks, not too far from the bridge. A drunk guy passed out and was ran over, a teenager was struck by a train and killed. Now I've gone looking for reports online, and I've never been able to dig anything up for these. However, I was told my a local police officer about the man who passed out on the tracks was true, and that he had a bible on him that was buried on site. I was able to find the sign that had blood splatter on it, and the bible was buried under it. I'm not sure if its still there, as they were doing work to the tracks some years back. I'll be going soon in the next week to grab a few pics, but I leave you with a sky view for now.
