Weird, unsolved mysteries of the world

Overtoun Bridge

Death? Dogs? Bridge?
Doesn't it all sound like something familiar, "Overtoun Bridge".
The place where all dogs jump to their deaths.
No one really knows why they jump but alot of theories are brought forward.

History
There’s nothing particularly special about the Overtoun Bridge in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland.

It was built in 1895 for ease of access to Overtoun house, and while it is quite a nice looking bridge, it isn’t anything special compared to most historical sites in Scotland.

Except for the fact that dogs crossing the bridge feel compelled to throw themselves from the bridge to their inevitable demise.

Special information:
This phenomenon has been occurring since the 1950s or 60s, with the bridge claiming the lives of dogs at an average rate of one per year.

At this stage, it has claimed more than 50 dogs’ lives. Some dogs will even leap off the bridge a second time if they happen to survive the first.
There are some similarities in most cases of dog suicides at Overtoun.

Most of the incidents seem to happen at the same place — between the final two parapets of the bridge on the right hand side.

It mostly happens in clear weather, and it also tends to happen with breeds with long snouts such as labs, collies and retrievers.

Theories
The mystery has been studied in depth, and the best answer anyone could come up with was that dogs were being lured to their death by a potent odor of male mink urine.

This is despite a local hunter swearing that there were no mink nearby. Even if there were, mink are not confined to that one corner of Scotland, and this phenomenon doesn’t seem to happen anywhere else.

The Overtoun Bridge mystery opens up a lot of questions about domesticated animals and whether they would deliberately commit suicide.

Considering it only happens at that one spot, there seems to be something else at play here, however.

Legend
Local legend claims the bridge is haunted, and at least one human victim has experienced its effects.

In October 1994, a man named Kevin Moy threw his two week old son from the bridge, condemning the infant to death as he believed the child was the Anti-Christ.
Moy then attempted to end his own life in the same way, though was unsuccessful.

A sign has been erected in recent years at Overtoun Bridge, 'warning' 'dog owners to keep their pets on a lead.'

My conclusion:
Well that's one strange mystery. Many people can relate to this, after having their dog end his life in the most strangest way possible.

The overtoun bridge mystery is difficult to figure out.
I just hope you don't collide with this bridge and your dog, then you'd experience 'dog suicide.'

Feel free to have your say.
