Is Tubman Garrett Riverfront Park and Market Street Bridge haunted?
No claims are filed here — the record keeps this place for its documented history, not for a haunting on file.
The record — long form
The Bridge is the trapped — the 'November '56' that's the pursuers waiting, the 'south side hid' that's the Tubman's stall. The 'brick wagon' is the fooled — the 'false bottom' that's the load hid, the 'Black bricklayers' that's the drivers trusted. The 'two weeks' is the long — the 'three times normal' that's the trip stretched, the 'potato holes' that's the hiding kept.
The 'sculpture stands' is the honored — the 'Tubman + Garrett' that's the partnership cast, the 'lantern held' that's the light carried. The 'letters kept' is the documented — the 'Bradford quoted' that's the Tubman's own, the 'Eliza Wigham' that's the Scotland wrote. The Bridge is the crossed — the 'constables watched' that's the trap set, the 'bricks passed' that's the load rolled.
The file keeps the Bridge: the trapped group, the brick wagon, the two weeks, and the statue's lantern.
Tubman-Garrett Park is the archive's Delaware file — the bridge crossed under bricks.
Why this file matters
Tubman-Garrett Park is the archive's Delaware file — the bridge crossed under a load of bricks.
A park keeps its crossing — the file's suggestion being that the Bridge's hold is the fooled: the 'south side hid' that's the trap waited, the 'bricklayers drove' that's the disguise rolled, and the 'sculpture stands' that's the partnership honored.
