In Evan's definition, she explains that "people often perform some sort of action to satisfy the haunting mind or, in some way, to persuade it to abandon its activities. » (Evans, 100 years old). In the legend of Gibbs Bridge, there are many different actions one must perform for a haunting to occur and the actions are usually specific to the story being told. In one story, the participant must first turn off their car, flash their lights three times and honk their horn three times and an apparition will appear. Another story is that the participant has to turn off their car again and drop their keys out of the right window and red eyes will appear in their review window. Yet another involves actually having the participant get out of the car and walk across the bridge. Although all of these actions have differences, there is one common element: the participant must park their car along or near the bridge.
