The Haunting
Old Man Rivers is a reportedly haunted bridge in Mecca, Indiana. Reports tied to the site usually focus on roadside encounters and vanishing figures.
Reported account from HauntTracker: It is said that if you go into mecca from the east side past the bridge, you will see a rather large man wearing flannel and carrying a weed eater and/or chainsaw. Rumor has it that he will try to get in the car with you. If you let him in, he'll ask you to take him to that White Horse. He will tell you how hard he works and how little you work.
His hands are green from never wearing any gloves. Some people say he has asked to see their hands. If you show him your hands, he will say, "Them's woman's hands!!" The scariest part of this site is, he is real. He is not a ghost. The reason why he asks for a ride is because he is a hobo bum who doesn't have a license.
Anyone researching the place in person should verify access first and stay within posted or legal boundaries.
