The one big problem is they get over to the other side but they never come back.
Mr. and Mrs. Andrews have lived in this town for over 60 years and they have seen it all.

She tried to talk to this one ghost that comes back every now and then. He has been seen at the end of the bridge, just standing there. Nobody understands why he keeps coming back. Maybe someone is stuck in between the walls, and it could be someone special in his life.
He never says anything, he just stands there and points towards the wall.

It was one windy day in Ohio, and reggie miller was outside getting his map ready and preparing his gears for the big day.
He brought his camera, his pack sack full of things that he will need for his journey.
His parents had no idea what he was up to and neither did his friends.
He kept saying different things and because he was reckless, nobody believed he would want to try such a thing.
The night started to get darker, and over his back was his bag.
He was walking ever so slowly over that bridge.
Right on the other side of the bridge was a dark shadow, of a man with a hat.

Reggie through his bag over the wall, and started climbing.
He climbed so high up that he reached the peak of the wall.
He tried to look over and something grabbed him, he felt a pressure pulling him and he started to scream.
The dark shadow of the man with the hat, was pointing over the wall and down inside the pit.
Reggie slipped and fell over and all he could see was himself dying.
He tried to hold on for dear life but he just kept falling deeper into the pit.

But he will fight back to go home to tell the story of what is behind the wall.

They were cold and bruised and some were torn apart.
The stench was so strong, it smelled of death.
He kept hearing the voices yell out to him
"You should of never climbed over the wall."
He was scared and started to shake, but he wasn't giving up, he will go home.

He kept praying to god to help him go home.
One by one, the bodies moved and piled up on top of each other.
Reggie was able to get out of the pit, by climbing over the bodies. He took pictures of everything that he saw down there, including the image of the dark shadowed man with the hat.
The man passed down a message " go in between the wall, you will find my baby, please free her so i can leave with her over the light."
Reggie, broke apart some of the wall, he found a babies shattered body and set her free.
The dark shadowed man with the hat, held on tight to the spirit of his baby girl and they went out to the light.

He climbed the wall and went over, then he was saved but also he saved someone to.
He let the trapped spirit free and got his freedom back also.
The wall came down and all there is now is a bridge crossing over.
The pit was blocked up so nobody could ever fall back into it.
Now the sun shines over the bridge because the dark shadowed man had disappeared.
The reason for all of this to happen all these years was because of a trapped soul in between the walls.
This was a story the town of ohio will never forget, and reggie was the one to uncover it.
