    During the day you'll quite a few different groups walking around. It's actually really beautiful during the day. A nice place to take pictures. It'll give you a Twilight vibe background in the woods. During the night be careful! A lot of ghost hunting and seances are done at night which lures! So if you're looking for the spookiness, the best time is to go during the night and it won't disappoint! It'll still feel a little eerie during the day but it's not as spooky.

    My husband goes through kicks (Idk if that's the proper word...). January it was nothing but antique malls and estate sales. Now it's finding ghost towns. The randomness can be fun. This is a bridge. I'm reviewing a bridge. Long ago there was Alton, Texas. Alton is now considered Denton. All that supposedly remains of Alton is a Chapel, Cemetery, and the Old Alton Bridge. We found the bridge, but had to find the John and didn't search for the Chapel or cemetery. Aka the Goat man bridge. This was on the Ghost Adventures. I didn't know that until I read about the bridge.. yesterday. The bridge was constructed in 1884 and connected Lewisville to Alton. The goat man bridge is named after a local black goat farmer. He was unwelcome by Klansmen, they lynched him and threw him over the bridge. When they looked over, they didn't see his body. There supposedly has been many strange sightings of a goat man and if you drive over the bridge you will be met by him. The entrance to the bridge is blocked off now, so you can't drive to test the theory. You can walk it though. They also say that the woman who lost her baby southwest of us roams around here too. I'm not sure why she would be looking for her baby here, but okay.. We didn't see a goatman, but the bridge is a little eerie. All I was worried about was walking over this creaky bridge and falling into the nasty water. You can tell there's history in this area. You could picture kids back in the day... before Ipads and tablets, come here hanging out near a bondfire.

    I would def come take pictures here in the day time it's not just spooky it's super chill as well

    I live for paranormal even though it still scares me haha and I've been to this bridge plenty of times! One of my experiences out of all the times was when I actually encountered "paranormal behavior" It was a group of seven and we were the only ones There! I wanna say it was midnight!! We took the horse trail and we experienced rocks getting thrown at us, were we walked we heard rustingling in the grass nothing small ether, and we only went half way because once we hit light from the location next to the trails where there's a fence we heard a little girl giggling from a distance and we all took off running to the cars because we all heard it looked at each other like "was that you?" ! And it was creepy, mind y'all that was the not so spooky trail we felt like we were being watched when we went on the other trail where you have to take the bridge to go on that one!! This is a very interesting place! I love it

    Obviously know of this place due to Ghost Adventures, super cool place to check out . Entering the woods is a big erring I would say, stretches out for miles, still a nice place to visit and explore . Unfortunately , no ghost or demons were there lol

    Nice place to take pictures but that damn bridge is raggedy as soon as you step on it you'll feel like the whole bridge is going to collapse

    Creepy but nice. Steve was a little mad at some guy that came on the bridge tho. I hope goat man doesn't fire him.

    I traveled to McKinney Texas from the East Coast. While I was there I found an interesting place in…read morethe town of Lewisville, TX. Let's just say I am in awe of the variety of metaphysical items this store has to offer. You can do an Aura Reading. Tarot readings are also available and much more. I believe that whatever you need it will be available here. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I had a great experience while shopping here.

    Just walking through the door of this place immediately makes me feel more in touch with my…read morespiritual side. I think this association is due to the fact that I come here almost exclusively to attend their psychic fairs, classes and sessions (as opposed to only shopping). Here you can get a tarot card reading, communicate with loved ones on the other side, find out who you were in a past life and meet your spirit guides, just to name a few of the opportunities for spiritual exploration that they offer. Some of my experiences have been so enlightening and impactful that I would describe them as life changing. As far as the store itself and the merchandise they sell, to me it's more like the gift shop attached to an attraction. Like most gift shops, it's enjoyable to browse, but the goods can be a little expensive. However, these days with the pervasiveness of online shopping, it's the price you pay for the ability to see/touch/smell items before you buy them.
