This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! When Michelle McClane Woods and her husband moved into a fixer-upper in 2015, they thought they were building a future—one project, one renovation at a time.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Nestled deep in the woods between Denton and Copper Canyon, Texas, lies an unassuming wooden structure with a chilling past—Goatman’s Bridge. Known officially as the Old Alton Bridge, this seemingly simple crossing is anything but ordinary. Steeped in tales of demonic entities, violent history, and occult rituals, it’s become one of the most infamous haunted sites in the South.
