William Branham claimed to have "prophesied" that sixteen men would fall to their deaths during the construction of the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge which opened to the public on October 31, 1929 (twenty years after his alleged Birth Year).
Here at the Municipal Bridge. Sister, no doubt you know where the Municipal Bridge is, don’t you, cross from Jeffersonville to Louisville? Twenty-two years, when I was a little boy, just a little bitty lad about five years old, or six years old, when the Angel of the Lord appeared in the bush… You’ve heard me tell that haven’t you, when I was packing water? Well, about two weeks after that, I was playing marbles with my little brother. And I thought I’d got sick, some real funny feeling came on me. And I went and set down by the side of a tree. And I looked down at the river, and there went a bridge, a big, great big bridge going across the river. And I counted sixteen men that fell off of that bridge and drowned. And I went and told mother. And I told her I seen it. And they thought I was crazy or something. They thought I was just at a little nervous hysterical child. And twenty-two years from that time, on the same ground went the Municipal Bridge across, and sixteen men lost their lives on it. See? Wasn’t nothing that… It’s—it’s God sent it. Your prayers brought it. See?
Branham, William. 48-0302 - Experiences
This alleged Bridge Prophecy appears to have been mistakenly targeting the Big Four Bridge, built years before William Branham's Birth Year, which includes a very similar tragic event during its construction. After this information leaked to the public within the cult following of William Branham, Voice of God Recordings produced a "testimony" describing two men allegedly buried in the caissons of the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge. Architectural drawings, however, place question upon this testimony and the motivation behind it.
