Ridge Avenue Bridge – This bridge is said to be haunted by the ghostly sounds of Bessie Little’s death. She was murdered there by her lover, Albert J. Frantz, on August 27, 1896, and thrown from the bridge. Bessie was pregnant and Albert didn’t want to marry her, so he arranged the scene to look like a suicide. Unfortunately for Albert, he shot her twice and suicide was ruled out. Albert was sentenced to death in the Ohio Penitentiary electric chair. He was executed on November 19, 1897.

It is said that the execution by electricity of ALBERT J. FRANTZ at the Ohio penitentiary Friday was a bungling affair. The current had to be turned on five times before producing death. Smoke and the odor of burned flesh filled the execution room.
