Bear Creek Bridge

Bear Creek Bridge on Houston's Patterson Road is haunted. It may not be as haunted as nearby Langham Creek Bridge, but it is still worth visiting for ghost hunts.

At Bear Creek Bridge, we've heard the tapping on the outside of the car. We've seen 'sparkles' and sensed energy there. (See our May 2005 report, Haunted Bear Creek Bridge.)

With the Texas Paranormal group, we visited Bear Creek Bridge in May 2006. We did not hear the tapping sound this time. However, the visual anomalies were stronger.

At the top of this article, a typical photo shows minor orbs on the south side of the bridge.

The sparkles were amazing on this evening. The effect was probably enhanced by the bugs, but it's easy to tell the difference between bugs in real life, and in photos.

That's a bug--probably a moth--in a Bear Creek photo. And, because there were bugs when we were researching, we discount any orbs that look questionable... even just a little.

At left, minor orbs seemed to linger around one tree. It's the wrong shape to be a 'hanging tree', but it has that kind of energy around it.

This location isn't far from where a Civil War battle may have occurred. It's possible that a soldier died here; in fact, several of them may have. Something happened near this tree.

This tree is on the south side of Patterson Road in Houston, and on the Eldridge side of the Bear Creek Bridge, not the Highway 6 side.

The side of the road slopes steeply, but there is room to park parallel to the road, just off the pavement.
