The Interstate Bridge Ghost
When I was down in Vancouver, Washington yesterday I took the opportunity to pay a visit to the gravesite of former Vancouver Mayor G.R. Percival, thought by many to be the identity of the frequently seen Interstate Bridge Ghost.
The details of Mayor Percival's mysterious demise can be found on a post in Between the Lines.
Percival's headstone was nearly entirely covered with matted grass. After I cleared some of it off I was surprised to see his name was given as "Grove R. Percival." Most of the other sources give his first name as "Grover," the cemetery manager even wrote "Grover" on the location map he gave me. In fact, somewhere I found his full name as "Grover Reed Percival."
Yet another mystery to add to the list about this individual.
