So I need to edit my review/delete it and start over. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, yes your protected from demonic possession and wouldn't go here to begin with. Imo... If you are not; ESPECIALLY DON'T COME HERE. PLEASE. Idk... This place could be worse then the Northville tunnels. This was the only place I've ever been where something clearly isn't right here. I thought it could be bloodsugar issues because going low is wild at times. But out of the corner of my eye I just saw from what I remember maybe just something black or just something but not noticeable. When I would turn my head; nothing was there. Something is there and its CLEARLY NOT FROM GOD. Not anything good from him or anything he wants you to to experience. I remember feeling being followed, and just uneasy. Particularly when I crossed the bridge and went deeper into the woods. Also the only place I went where I got lost. I chocked it up to nothing and I know my belief in "A God" at the time saved me and has saved me from places that arn't as dark as this. I've never seen a "ghost", I've never seen anything besides here but I don't think I ever truly wanted to... Not alone at least. Satan deceives, is the provider of ALL LIES and I think he put it in my mind for me to go to places like here and others listed. Maybe here was my bloodsugars but something tells me it maybe wasn't for the things I might have seen in the corner of my eyes. I know the feelings I can remember tonight are through The Holy Spirit making me remember. GOD is the only way. I'm telling you and can promise you he can and will provide a meaningful and wonderful life for yourself as difficult as it may be at times. I remember faintly praying here for me to be okay and to not see anything because of the name. I thought it just had the name because of the story that was here. It is the darkest story I've ever read though. DO. NOT. GO. HERE. I can assure you if there is a portal to Hell or darkness in Michigan, it is here. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. I will pray for any and all who roll their eyes, laugh or anyone that has been here or will come here. DO. NOT. COME. HERE. Or any places like this. Its as bad as The Northville Tunnels which I REFUSE TO GO as well as this place. Its worse and I have never felt anything at Seven Gables Road, Soop Cemetery, any Cemetery or anywhere. Other then the basement in the furnace room of my childhood home where a lady hung herself. I've never felt watched, followed or seen things out of the corner of my eyes I blammed on bloodsugars. Dear Heavenly Father and Jesus our savior, please do whatever is in your plan and will to use The Holy Spirit to keep anyone from coming here. Please open their minds and hearts to Put On The ARMOR OF GOD. Again, if it is in your will or plan, I beg that you make it undeniable and start the wonderful process of getting to this point, and make it clear it is undeniable you are the only way and the best way to happiness and true belief, peace and Heaven. Please make them pay attention once the process begins so they know you are the way and please make it undeniable like you did for so many as well as myself. Any who have been here and unfortunately will come here please continue to do what is in your perfect plan but I pray and beg that you protect them. Thank you Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ I ask that you rid this area of darkness and any reach Satan has tied to this area. Thank you for everything. I love you. Amen.

I would recommend bug spray if you go in the late evening lots of bugs around especially after it rains. Other than that it was a cool bridge. Checked off another one my items on my paranormal checklist.
