I’ve been to cry baby bridge before, but I heard an entirely different story. I heard that it was during a war, the armies were raiding, looting, pilliging, whatever. The mother of the child and her slave woman take her child and hide it under the bridge to keep it safe from the soldiers. When the slave returned to help her mistress they both, as well as everyone else at the manor were slaughtered. According to my story you can hear the baby crying under the bridge because after everyone was killed there was nobody to come and fetch the baby. You can here it cry as it lies alone under the bridge and freezes to death. I’ve also heard that if you go to the bridge at night, leave a piece of candy on one of the car seats, get out of the car, lock the doors and walk away for a few minutes that when you return, the doors will be unlocked and the candy will be gone.

Sorry, typing error. The mother asked her slave woman to…..etc….

ok if this story is so true….how come there are more than one cry baby bridge? that just doesnt make any sense to me! It is supposedly A story that happened Somewhere not STORIES so…whats the deal??

I’ve been to Cry Baby Bridge… nothing happened. We sat out there for maybe a half an hour with voice recorders. Heard nothing, saw nothing, nothing happened.

Plus, the story I heard was it was a mother, father, and baby driving across the bride, lost control and flew into the water. The mom and dad died while the baby lay there crying until he died.

This story is ****. I’ve been all over and under this bridge at all times day and night and nothing has ever, EVER happened. Hell, my name is spray painted on it. Sure, it’s spooky, but that’s about it. Anything that anyone’s ever experienced anything out there is either delusional, lying, or being tricked by someone.

tis stuff is crazy dont go there seriously you’ll be freaked out

My friends and I want to go soon. I’ve heard about the candy bar thing , the baby powder and turning the car off to hear the baby cry. I don’t believe in ghost or spirits or anything like it .. but alot of people say its true!

Aren’t there like 4 Cry-Baby Bridges, this one, one up in PA(im sure of), one in NJ and one in the United Kingdom(with the white lady, google it)?

DON’T GO…. This is for real. I have been there. I heard and saw thing that could not be explained back then (35) years ago. I have moved away from the area and it still haunts me when is dark with no moon, and the sounds of baby cries….

we just got back from cry baby bridge in Saraland. We didn’t hear anything, but my boyfriend swears that he says someone walk between the truck and the yellow road sign. We were standing in the middle of the bridge when looking at the truck. He also felt like he had or had ran into a spider web while in the middle of the bridge. When we were walking back to the ruck he got goose bumps twice. I think there’s something there.

I live less than a mile from cry baby bridge in saraland. The platation is now owned by a family and no longer the college. There’s nothing haunted about it and its been redone and looks new and not so scary. : ( as far as the bridge goes, I have been by there literally over a thousand times. We’ve walked down to the bridge at midnight and later several times. The stories are completelty false. Just didn’t want ne1 to waste time driving all the way down there just to see the local swimming hole. Lol that’s literally what it is. People swim and swing off the tree rope. Just letting yall know…

I had spent several nights at the Kali Oka/Oak Grove Road Property. The Ghost are real but your story is way off on most accounts. The Story fallows two generations of a single family through the 1800s. There are far more Ghost than you know. The tragedy starts with a young girl raised side by side with her slave/nannys daughter who hardly ever leaving the Plantation does not see the outside racism and hate. The two girls grow up and the black slave girl dies durring child birth; Loving her friend the white girl and her husband raise him as thier own. The boy grows to be near 7 foot tale, and becomes a master carver. In the main house to this day you can see his handy work in the hand carved chair rail that runs through out the Manner. Durring the last Civil War battle in Alabama not far from the property in what is now Eight Mile, Alabama; the Southern Soldiers fled to the property to the Plantation which was being used as a Hospital. When the Union Soldiers arrived the young Black man ran to his adopted mothers side for comfort. Though they were their for the freedom of the Slaves. They thought, they had found them in that Lovers embrase. Beleiving he had broke the law; he was drug out side and beheaded for touching a white woman. The Union soldiers shot any one who could not walk were they layed, and hung any man who could walk from the eve of the barn. The hulking blackman is seen as a enormous Headless mass of a man by the road side searching for his lost head. Both Union and Confederate Soldiers can both be seen around the property. Orbs are very common as well. The adopting mother has two girls of her own who decide not to leave their home and build a second Manner next to the first for the younger sister; the slave house still stands out back of the Property on Oak Grove Road, which was the drive way at the time.
The Younger sister marries a Doctor, one Christmas Eve there was a Ball in near by city of Saraland(North of Mobile), the Doctor had promissed his to oldest daughters he would take them to the Ball and be back intime for Christmas morning. The Mother now eight months pregnant stays behind with a Maid and Butler to watch after her. Something goes worng and durring the night the Mother, Maid and Butler take another carriage and head for town and slides off the icey bridge. Returning the next morning the Doctor’s driver notices the other buggy up side down in the creek. The stop to find the Butler dead underneath the buggy and the maid furhter down stream. The mothers body is recovered a day later but with no child in her. After mid night the cries can be heard from the Kali Oka Bridge. The Older daughter dies a week later after wondering off into the woods in the Cold night wearing nothing but her white night gown; after hearing what she beilieves to be the cries of a baby. Two weeks after that the Younger daughter is run over by a logging mule team as she ran out into the road haulering her sisters name as if she was seeing her.
I grew up about 15 miles from Kali Oka, hearing aseveral versions these stories. The above came from a Historian who I met at the Plantaion, on the Set of the SiFi Horror Movie “Dead Birds” as a Historical Consultant. The Movie starred Henry Thomas and Niki Aycox.

I grew up in Saraland, Al and have always been told about Cry Baby Bridge. I’ve never been there at night! I was too scared! Now that I have a 14 year old son who is all into ghosts and haunted places, we may plan a night time trip! I’ll let you all know what happens!!!

Im from mobile I visited this site last year in june2009 i looked under the bridge and found one of those girls dolls that had one of those crying mechanisims that was battery opperated in it i also found baby powder under the bridge and the remanants of an old wrecked black truck in the woods near the water. dont go to the plantation house last time i went there this creepy guy came out with a shotgun and his dogs almost came after me i think he owns the property he told me to leave that i was tresspasing. but there is a cool church just past the bridge. hope this info helps there was a song about deadmans curve written by jan and dean

I am the co-founder of an Paranormal Investigation service called Paranormal Production Crew, and I believe the Crybaby bridge is just the wind blowing. However, I will be trying to get my crew out there to do a investigation of the bridge, and possible the Kali Oak road as well.

first, i lived out kali oka from 1976-1993, almost 20 yrs and even after i moved had friens and family that still live there and the crybaby bridge everyone drives across is not the real crybaby bridge, the old bridge is gone..and as many times as me and my friends camped out and swam at our swimming hole you call crybaby bridge is not haunted, been there too many nites and heard nothing. we called the swimming hole buzzards roost, it was a great place to spend hot summer days, the only scarry thing we ever saw was a water moccasin or two. now the plantation has alot of history and there are so many different versions of the 7 ft tall black man, so who knows whats the truth. since i was 8 yrs old i heard at least 10 different versions. i am now 41 and still here a different story on the plantation. after awhile people exaggerate and twist the real story around.

I grew up on Kali Oka road and have walked around the plantation and crybaby bridge… it is very real… well atleast the creepy baby cry is… and you get a very uneasy feeling…

I have been to Cry Baby Bridge in AL. years ago. I have never in my life had an experience with ghosts before going there and i havent yet had one after. But when i was there i did!!!we parked right on the bridge, stayed in the car and rolled the windows down… we heard a women and a baby crying out. it was freaky. But the really scary part i will tell you now! after we went there the next morning we went to take pictures in the daylight. it was one of thoughs cameras you pull the file out right after you take it and let if dry out and then you will beable to see the photo. so i took a picture of the rocks in the water kind of underneath the bridge. we let it dry and there in the water there was two figuers in the water. a face of a woman and a face or a baby. ghostly figuers that showed up in the left hand corner!! It was weird and i have nothing else like that happen like that since!!
