Zealandia Castle

In writing my stories of "Helen's Bridge" and "Helen's Mountain", the facts seemed to be few and far between. Helen's Mountain seems to be all legend and 100% ghost story passed down from generation to generation. There seems to be no basis in fact, at least from what I could find.

Helen's Bridge is real. Helen's Bridge was built in 1909 by Phillip S. Henry to provide access to Zealandia Castle. Zealandia castle was built by John Evans Brown, a native of New Zealand, in 1889. In a Youtube video, published on October 22, 2013 entitled "Helen's Bridge and Zealandia Castle", Local Author Joshua P. Warren and the LEMUR Paranormal Society of Asheville, investigate Zealandia and the story behind Helen's Bridge. According to their report, Phillip S. Henry had a wife named Helen and they had a daughter. The daughter allegedly tragically burned to death in a fire in a room inside the castle. Helen was so distraught over the death of her daughter she committed suicide by hanging herself from the bridge.

During this Youtube video, the camera allegedly picks up a little girl's voice saying "Help me please" twice. The LEMUR Society goes back later that night and allegedly documents the oresence of a spirit inside the Castle.

WLOS Channel 13 also posted a story about Helen's Bridge around Halloween 2013 and at the very end of that story, some woman had taken a picture on the bridge, and you can see the faint outline of a little girl. This picture had been posted on Facebook and went viral.
