History & local legend
Reading’s Lindbergh Viaduct curves above Pendora Park and Rose Valley Creek. Its high concrete arches are associated with reports of falling figures, screams and crying heard from below.
Historian Alexa Freyman traced the bridge’s reputation through newspaper coverage, including a 1938 death when a man fell onto the park’s tennis courts. Later ghost stories describe a person seeming to fall from the roadway or sounds of distress beneath the span.
