London Bridge in Lake Havasu City. Did more than just stone cross the Atlantic?

Arizona is home to an unlikely structure: the London Bridge. Longtime residents of our state have probably heard about it or even visited it. It was bought and rebuilt in Lake Havasu City as a tourist attraction.

But did you know that it's haunted?

Very haunted. Ghost chasers believe there are dozens of ghosts, including women and children, who crossed the Atlantic with the bridge. One of the most famous Victorian-age murderers, Jack the Ripper, may also be haunting the crossing.

In this episode of Valley 101, we investigate the history and hauntings of London Bridge.
