Our previous Mystery Photo

Our Oct. 2 photo, “Covered bridge,” was familiar to several alert readers, including Lexie Chatham of West Columbia who noted it was “the Campbell Covered Bridge in Landrum over Beaverdam Creek. It’s the only standing covered bridge remaining in S.C., and was named after a local landowner. Constructed of pine, it’s 38-feet long and 12-feet wide.”

Jay Altman and Daniel Brennan, both of Columbia; Will Bradley of Las Vegas, Nevada; Larry Cannon of Simpsonville; Don Clark and Bill Segars, both of Hartsville; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Wayne Beam, now of Clemson; Barry Wingard and Jacie Godfrey, both of Florence; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Steve Willis of Lancaster; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; Robert Behre of Charleston; Elaine Huff-Lowe of Inman; Kevin Mertens of Greenville; Steven Rowe of Alamogordo, N.M.; Henry Eldridge of Tega Cay; Matthew Brady of North Charleston; Debbie Causey of North Myrtle Beach; and Penny Forrester. 

Graf noted, “This covered bridge turned a 25-mile, all-day trip for some into a trip that could be made in an hour instead. Until Campbell’s Covered Bridge ridge was built, people, horses and wagons crossed the stream here — Beaverdam Creek — at a nearby shoal.”

FOR HALLOWEEN:  Peel provided these fun facts: “Now owned by Greenville County, it is the last surviving covered bridge in South Carolina. Permanently closed to traffic in the early 1980, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.  A little known fact about Campbell’s Covered Bridge was that it was featured in a scene in an obscure 1981 horror film called ‘A Day of Judgement’ by Earl Owensby. You can watch the entire movie here on YouTube.  If you would rather not spend the 1-hour 37 minutes needed to watch the movie, just skip ahead to just before the 17:00 minute mark (from the start of the film) to see a rather dark view of the angel of death driving a horse buggy across the Campbell Covered Bridge.  Spooky!”
