Dear Ghost Enthusiast,

Ah, Scotland! Home to breathtaking landscapes, bagpipes, and... a bridge with a baffling mystery. Nestled near Dumbarton, the Overtoun Bridge is an architecturally pleasing structure, but it harbors a dark secret.

Since the 1950s, the bridge has witnessed an unusually high number of dogs leaping from its parapet. At the same spot, and almost always on sunny days, these loyal pets seem irresistibly drawn to the granite gorge below. Many theories have cropped up: Could it be the scent of minks or other animals? A sound frequency only dogs can hear? Or is there a more ghostly explanation?

Local legends whisper of a "White Lady" haunting the nearby Overtoun House and its grounds. This ethereal figure, some say, might be connected to the mysterious canine incidents on the bridge. Others propose that the bridge sits on a spot of heightened spiritual activity, influencing the sensitive nature of our furry friends.

While scientists and skeptics search for logical answers, the bridge remains a beacon of mystery for both ghost hunters and dog lovers. And if you ever find yourself strolling along this Scottish landmark, perhaps keep a tight leash on your pup and an open mind to the mysteries of the unknown.
