2 popular urban legends for this state...

The first:

HELL'S GATE BRIDGE - OXFORD, ALABAMA

The generally accepted story of Hell's Gate Bridge starts in the 1950s, according to the Oxford Paranormal Society; a young couple driving over the bridge somehow drove their car off the bridge one night and they both drowned.

There are two legends associated with Hell's Gate Bridge — one, that if you drive your car out to the middle of the bridge and turn off the lights, the couple will magically appear in your car and leave a wet spot on the seat.

The other, which is how the bridge got its name, is the belief that if you drive over the bridge and look over your shoulder halfway through, the scenery behind you turns into a portal to hell engulfed in flames.

Potentially to curb ghost hunters and bored teenagers, Hell's Gate Bridge is closed to cars, according to The Anniston Star, and it is in such disrepair that walking across is strongly discouraged.

DEAD CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND - 

HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA

Inside Maple Hill Cemetery, one of Alabama's oldest and largest burial sites, there lies a playground that is popular for both the living and the dead. 

According to Huntsville locals, swings are often swaying by themselves and apparitions of little children have been spotted on the playground late at night.
