The Story

A wandering woman anchors Bayview Bridge's folklore, but the story changes with its teller. Some versions describe a bride who never reached home; others tell of a mother searching for a child lost in an accident. Drivers have also reported handprints on windows, mistlike figures, or an engine unexpectedly stopping. The appeal is the bridge's recurring roadside legend, not a verified death record or a safe place to perform a driving ritual.
