Every year, hordes of tourists descend on this rural spot along the Ohio River. They pay homage to the winged beast, known to all as a harbinger of doom.

Come hear the tale from a local himself, retired private investigator, Mr. Eddie Jenkins. Come learn the truth of this centuries old legend that began long before falling bridges.
