Is Poinsett Bridge In Greenville SC haunted?
Is Poinsett Bridge In Greenville SC haunted?
Over the years there have been many rumors of hauntings at the Poinsett Bridge. The reports include strange sounds, mysterious lights, automotive problems and other phenomena.
The bridge is named for Joel R. Poinsett, who was the first Commission of Public works in SC. The historically significant structure has been said to be near indian burial grounds, the site of slave lynchings and possibly built using slave labor. For a fact, the land has ancestral heritage tied to the native Americans who inhabited the land before Greenville County was founded. They were eventually pushed off their land all over the foothills of the Upstate.
It spans Little Gap Creek and is an attraction for tourists, photographers and the paranormally curious. But you aren’t here for the history… that’s easy to find!
Over the years my personal experiences at this location have included:
- Numerous “Orb” anomalies nearly every time in photos. Also glowing anomalies and “mists” as well…
- Battery drains in devices
- In one instance I mentioned that I felt as if we were being watched from the hill across the street by spirits.. Just then the K2 EMF meter went absolutely ballistic. This is odd due to there being no electrical sources nearby and barely even any cell phone signals reach this spot. The meter was sitting on the stone wall with nothing near it.
So in 2015 while I was in early development of my CrossTalkEVP 2.0 software for android I took my tablet to Poinsett Bridge for a test. The software is designed to help spirits communicate in real time by randomly playing back chopped up audio for them to use to form responses. What better place for a test?
Well we got a quite a few responses during that test session. In one recorded response we hear “I fell” in another we hear “they are here” and in another response we hear…
“I’ll help you… you are surrounded.” Is that enough evidence for you?
There is certainly a strong concentration paranormal energy at this and many other locations in the Upstate. So if you are looking for a place to practice your ghost hunting skills, rest assured this is a one of the hot spots that you will want to visit.
Now check out the video of the test of my CrossTalkEVP 2.0 app and listen for yourself to the responses. The robot voice you are hearing is vocal fragments from a computer chip that enables speech in devices for the seeing disabled. The app chops up those vocal fragments and plays the pieces randomly… It takes a little getting used to in order hear the responses clearly.
I didn’t annotate all of the responses… but I did annotate some of them in this video so click play…

Where to buy RT-EVP ghost box and digital voice recorder for ghost hunting
Created by the man who designed the MEL meter devices specifically for paranormal use, this recorder does it all!
First it is a very high quality recorder with extended frequency recording range according the creator… Thus allowing a greater range of EVP ability.
Next, this device has a built in ghost box feature which has been seen used on Ghost Adventures many times. Similar to the “Franks Box” or Ghost Box, this digital recorder has a built in radio receiver and you can adjust the scan frequency speed. Essentially making this the smallest available ghost box device!
The RT-EVP is also the only voice recorder that has live review so you may play back in the field to see if you get a response while still recording.
With all of the great features it is not wonder why these RT-EVP spirit box digital recorder combos often sell out fast.

Ghost hunting with The Rise Guys Guys Greenville Army Navy Store 2011 evidence
It was late 2011… Halloween was approaching, and as usual I was getting swamped with inquiries about the Greenville Ghost Tour. A message arrives and it is from FatBoy… No no no… That is his name on the radio folks. So FatBoy is on a popular local radio show called The Rise Guys on 93.3 The Planet and tells me that they try and hunt ghosts every year. He was wondering if I could take them some place really haunted. Since I had to make some special arrangements I told I would get back to him and got to work.
I figured this would be the perfect time to try and schedule a block buster location to investigate. After looking over my options, I went and talked to my friends at Greenville Army Store since they have had some strange things happen. The Army Navy store downtown is one of Greenville South Carolinas’ oldest family run stores. Opened in 1946 by Harry Zaglin and still run to this very day by his son… Jeff. Over the years Jeff and his staff have come to trust the Greenville Ghost Tour enough to share their own haunted encounters in the store with me in my book: Haunted Greenville South Carolina, published 2011 The History Press
Once Jeff agreed to allow me to bring our guests in for this exclusive first time investigation, I let FatBoy know that I had a special ghost hunt planned for them. Here is the thing, I only told them that they were getting access to an exclusive investigation in one of the oldest business downtown. They had no idea where the location was until just a couple of days before the actual event… You can imagine their surprise when they found exactly where we were going.
Since we were in there for nearly two hours, the video below is just the highlights of what turned out to be a very eventful night. This is a full television show length video featuring the high points… but at 28 minutes long this mean you may should pause the video for 5 or 10 minutes before you attempt to watch it all the way through.
In the first part, we find ourselves in the basement… where something touches my “Geophone” vibration sensor while no one is near. Then several of our batteries drain. First in my camera, then in The Rise Guys voice recorder… From there we discover a strange EMF anomaly upstairs on the retail floor. Then later in the video we conduct a ghost box session (similar to a Franks box) where the spirits call out my name, then the names of several of The Rise Guys team. During this session, determine for yourself is the is the decease proprietor of the Army Store telling us “You don’t get it” …. “Come back next week”… “Get out…. we’re closed”…
Enjoy! Oh and if YOU haven’t been on the Greenville Ghost Tour yet… go ahead and order your tickets now!
Also go shopping at Greenville Army Navy Store right downtown and tell them Greenville Ghost Tour sent you in… just make sure you say to Harry too!
