The Overtoun House can be found near the small Scottish village of Milton. The house itself isn't that special. No, the arched bridge that spans over the Overtoun burn is what's really interesting. Since the 60's, over 600 have been reported to have jumped to their death from the bridge.
And absolutely zero humans have died jumping off of it.

Just to clarify, yes, no humans have every jumped off the bridge. However, over 600 dogs have leaped to their death. For no apparent reason.
Many theories exist that try to explain this extremely bizarre occurrence. Some speculate that particularly pungent rodents drive the dogs over the bridge, while some think it's nothing more than a very particular string of random coincidences.
And to make things stranger (as if they weren't already strange enough), it has been observed that several dogs that survived their jump climbed back up and hurled themselves off again. For no discernible reason whatsoever.

When 600 dogs do anything the same, that's some freaky mojo.
