In the 1930s, a middle-aged woman in Bryansford was cycling home after visiting a friend when she encountered something strange. As she approached Bailies Bridge, her bicycle abruptly stopped – it simply wouldn’t move forward. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t cross the bridge. Disturbed, she turned back and told her friend what had happened.
The two women decided to seek help from the local priest. After hearing the account, he accompanied them to the bridge and began to recite prayers. When he finished, he placed a bottle on the bridge and declared that the spirit causing the disturbance had been trapped inside it. He instructed that the bottle be built into the bridge wall – and it was.
The bottle remains sealed within the structure to this day, and ever since, there have been no further reports of people being stopped from crossing Bailies Bridge.
