Maybe someone from Rome GA has heard this one?
Several years ago I went to college in Rome,
Georgia. While I was there there were several 'ghost' stories which I
kept coming across. While most of the tales appeared to be only
stories, there were two which prove to be more than mere legend. One
of which surrounds the 'Mountain Springs Church.' One night while
partying around this church at 2 am in the morning, we kept hearing
music like 'bells'. A short search of the area revealed the music was
coming from the church. On entering the church, the music could clearly
be heard. After searching, no clear source could ever be found for the
music. On closer inspection the music seemed to be accompanied by a
faint crying noise. Further investigation of the area revealed several
'occultic' symbols etched into the cement outside of the church. My
second story is clearly the better of the two. While in Rome, at a
local bar, I heard a band whos message was 'don't go down CCC road.' My
curosity raised about the issue, I needed to explore this area. Two
weeks later my friend and I decided to swallow our fears and explore
this road. The myth goes that there are seven bridges that you cross
over while on this road, except when you turn back there are only six
bridges. Although this myth wasn't known by me at the time, I did
notice several 'VERY STRANGE' occurances. Upon entering the road the
entire atmosphere was somehow changed. Although it being the middle of
the day, the shade from the trees made it appear ominously dark. After
crossing what I assume to be the first bridge, my friend and I spotted
a man in full camo hiding behind a bolder, holding a rifle. In his
other hand was gripped a small boy, and both were crouched as if
hiding. Continuing we passed the second bridge. By this point we
already were spooked out. Sometime after that, we spotted a lady in the
middle of the road, waving her hands wildly. We stopped and asked if
anything was the matter. The lady appeared to be ancient, but was
wildly animated. She began spouting off all kinds of crazy stuff. she
was saying things like, 'i have more stocks and bonds than Ross
Periot', 'Berry College took 10 years of my life and made it look like
2' and 'why don't you boys come in for ice-cream, i've been baking it
all day'. After a short while what I assume was her husband emerged and
said, 'she's crazy boys, you better get out of here' and then she sad
'Yeah you better leave before I run you in'. My friend and I at this
point had heard enough, it was time to get outta there. We turned
around and started out of there. On the way back we came upon the
second bridge. The bridge was covered in little black birds, and I mean
covered. The birds were not scattering as I drove up to them. I slowed
down and looked outside as I drove by. What was curious is that the
birds would barely hop out of the way of the vehicle. It was as if they
had no fear of being hit! continuing on we approched the first bridge
where the man with the rifle once was. There was no sign of the man,
but on the bridge there was a strange sight. Right smack in the middle
of the bridge was what appeared to be a severed 'dear's head' I had to
actuall move the thing to avoid running over it. After that we were
finally out of there. I'm not sure what else was down that road, but I
was sure not going to go down any further.
I guess it's just north Berry College, called CCC Road.
