Old Alton Bridge

Old Alton Bridge is a very old bridge that was built a very long time ago in the Alton area. It was originally built to help people travel across a big river, but now it's not used for cars anymore because it's too old and fragile.

However, a lot of people still visit Old Alton Bridge because it has a really interesting story! You see, some people say that the bridge is haunted by a ghost called the Goatman. According to the legend, the Goatman used to be a farmer who took care of goats, but then something strange happened and he turned into a half-man, half-goat creature.

Now, when people go to Old Alton Bridge at night, they sometimes hear strange noises or see apparitions of the Goatman. Some people even claim that their cars have stopped working or that they've felt something grab them when they walk across the bridge.

So, even though Old Alton Bridge isn't used for transportation anymore, it's still a very interesting and mysterious place that people like to visit to learn more about the legend of the Goatman.
