For fans of the found-footage horror genre, this short story encapsulates an urban legend of a horrifying creature seemingly tied to a creepy old bridge in a forest. There is some suspense in the beginning, but it begins to drag/become repetitive, and culminates in what I found to be an unsatisfying conclusion.
