In Bridge, North England, there is a castle that refuses to fall. It was blown up in 1651 and has been defying gravity for 305 years. Richard Duncan of Kinkle, Scotland, was convicted of killing a child and was hanged for it in 1683. He told his executioners that a white dove would alight on the gallows in token of his innocence. His prediction came true. A white dove settled on the gallows immediately after Duncan's body was removed. But Duncan was guilty beyond doubt, and the uncalled-for appearance of the white dove is a disappointing ending to a sordid story. Believe It or Not!
