Scotts Run Bridge (Fiddler’s Bridge)

The record

The state archives tells of Jacob, an enslaved fiddler who reportedly played from the old bridge and died after falling into the stream. Later accounts describe music heard at the replacement bridge. The published tale documents local remembrance without establishing a supernatural origin for the sounds.
