And one of these places is the Electric Bridge, which can be found on a remote stretch of road in farm country northeast of Shelbyville.
"Even though the power lines and the metal bridge aren't touching one another, there is matter between the two. There's air and the air ionizes," Lux said."It's more of a static electricity where charge is transferred from one object to another."The first is the two metal rails on either side of this bridge that crosses the Little Blue River on East Shortblue Road in rural Shelby County.
If you sit on the railing, you don't feel anything. But if someone puts a finger on each side of your temple while you sit on the railing, you both feel a tingle of electric current."There's a magnetic field that sort of makes a circle around each power line," said Wyatt Haacker, a senior at Shelbyville High school who plans to study physics at Notre Dame University.
The troll is one legend; Lux said another legend is that if you park your car on the bridge, it won't start back up. WRTV had two cars parked just off the bridge and they started up without a problem.
