The Clark Street Bridge in Chicago Illinois was once destroyed by ice flood and replaced by swing bridge in 1872.

The current bridge was constructed in 1929 and, tragically, in 1942 fell prey to an attempted bombing. Thankfully, the bomb failed to detonate when a fast thinking Police Officer threw the bomb into the river.

On July 24^th 1918, Chicago based passenger ship S. S. Eastland, filled with employees and families of Western Electrics, was docked at the bridge. The vessel capsized resulting in over 840 deaths. This was the largest loss of life from a single shipwreck in Chicago.

Unidentified bodies laid to rest at local morgues is believed part reason for the resultant alleged haunting at this bridge.

There have been hundreds of reports of paranormal activity from the bridge including phenomena such as disembodied crying.

The most unsettling phenomena are the shadowy figures seen bobbing just beneath the surface of the water.

This has all the signs of a residual haunting, these spirits may well be tied to this location due to the sudden trauma/sudden death suffered.

So those shadows in the water may well be an actual replay of what really took place on that tragic night when so many lives were lost.

That in itself is a deeply emotional thing to witness.

And although a painful echo of the past, as a paranormal enthusiast it would be fascinating to capture all the same.
