Overtoun Bridge sits outside Dumbarton, Scotland, a quiet Victorian crossing built in 1895 that earned a very different reputation starting in the 1950s. Dogs have leapt from the same stretch of wall for decades, and while viral headlines inflated the death toll into the hundreds, the real pattern underneath is stranger than the myth. Between a canine psychologist's mink scent experiment, a grieving ghost the locals call the White Lady, and Celtic folklore about "thin places" where the ordinary world wears thin, nobody has ever fully closed the case on why this specific bridge, and not the dozens just like it, keeps pulling animals over the edge.
