In the Scottish Highlands, near the town of Dumbarton, lies the Overtoun Bridge, a picturesque yet chilling structure with an unsettling mystery: for decades, dogs have inexplicably leaped to their deaths from this bridge. Over 300 dogs have jumped, many from the exact same spot, with no clear reason why. Some believe the bridge is haunted, while others theorize that an unseen force compels the animals to jump. Paranormal investigators and scientists alike have tried to explain the phenomenon, but no definitive answer exists. The bridge remains a site of eerie beauty, a place where the unexplained lingers.
