    CotterUnited States1930

    The Cotter Bridge, also known as the R.M. Ruthven Bridge, is a historic concrete open-spandrel arch bridge spanning the White River in Cotter, Arkansas. Built in 1930, this engineering marvel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and serves as an iconic symbol of the Ozarks. Alongside its architectural prestige, the bridge carries a eerie reputation for paranormal activity, including phantom cries of a spectral baby, disembodied footsteps along the pedestrian walkway, and ghost sightings of a woman chased by spectral hounds through the river mist.
