A picturesque stone bridge in Dumbarton, Scotland, has earned a macabre nickname: the "Dog Suicide Bridge." Since the 1950s, more than 50 dogs have leapt to their deaths from the bridge, all from the same exact spot, and no one knows why. Some believe that supernatural forces or an unseen entity lurking beneath the bridge compels animals—and sometimes even people—to jump. Psychics and paranormal investigators have reported strange energy in the area, and locals warn that those who linger too long may feel an inexplicable urge to follow in the footsteps of the doomed.
