My friends and I drove over “Cry baby bridge” today twice & visited the cemetary. None of us felt anything *weird* but actually enjoyed the quiet. Strange? But there was that one thing…

I remember going there when I was about nine years old, my dad took me and my family there, and it is down a long lane, then you turm left., just by mississenewa river, And when you get in there you see a lot of trees and rocks that say creeoy things like, get out of here or you will be killed, of you’ll die, even I’ll shank you!

There’s something like this in central IN on the southside of Indy. and its cry baby bridge and there’s an old jail and school.

Wow, this is funny I found this page. For the past few years I’ve been going to ‘cry baby bridge’ in ‘podunk indiana’ A.K.A Bargersville … a town a little south of greenwood. Just goes to show that this is just a myth, after reading this I’ve seen about 6 different towns in Indy listed as where the real story happens. I guess everyone has a podunk!

I grew up very near cry baby bridge in Hancock county. The story actually started (supposedly) with a car crash where the parents and baby drowned but they never found the baby. The story was morphed via “legend” tales, in one variant the woman stuffed the baby in a mason jar before throwing it over the bridge.

I went there once late at night and heard “something” that I couldn’t explain and it made the hair on my arms stand up. Wasn’t able to say out loud “Cry baby, cry!” as the story I was told would prompt the crying baby. Pretty freaky, sure it’s just a story like most, but it’s certainly creepy.

There is also a cemetery down the road back in the woods, frequented by people looking for ghosts and the like. There are also visits from some that involve animal mutilation – which adds to the freaky factor. My one late night visit there I didn’t see anything strange, but I could hear footsteps “following” me. I would never go back.

One more, local to hancock county – there is a slave graveyard in the middle of some old farmer’s woods that is rumored to be haunted. The deeper into the woods you go the older the headstones get. Went there twice, the second time there were dead cats hanging in some of the trees. That was the end of visiting that one. The new land owner doesn’t take kindly on visitors in his woods – understandably so at this point.

Anyway, thought I’d share my local experiences.

hellooooooooooo

Many years ago i told my cousin the story of cry baby bridge. we lived in Morristown In. a mile south of Hancock county. I dont really know how I knew the story of the car crash and the drowning. in the version I told it was jan and the water was icy and the mother froze to death from hypothermia. i dont really understand how i came to tell her the story.strangley enough i was only in third grade. from an early age i always saw and felt strange things. (my belief is that they are demons) but i still think its strange that i knew of this story. I never went there and don’t plan to. i’ve experiened enough evil to last me a life time

Many years ago i told my cousin Kel the story of Cry baby Bridge. I don’t know how I stumbled on the story. TO my knowledge no one told me the story. Ironically i was in second or third grade when i told her the story of the car accident, although in my version it was Jan and they crashed because of ice on the road. The water was also icy and helped cause the death of the mother. Ever since i was little I’ve experienced many disturbing things. I don’t believe in ghosts. i did when i was younger. ( i believe that they are demons disguising themselves to confuse us) i will never go to this place. i’ve had enough evil encounters to last a lifetime.

i live in Anderson. i have a lot of friends who have gone to Cry Baby Bridge. if you go there at night you can hear a baby crying. some people have told me they have seen a woman in a white gown. there is also the Main Street Graveyard by it that is back in the woods, but we don’t call the woods Cry Baby Woods. you have to go on the bridge to hear or see the woman and the baby.

Im from Rensselaer, IN and cry baby bridge is located right off US16 between Rensselaer and Goodland. I walk around there all the time, its an awesome place to go.

I went in the woods hunting last year, and i head twigs snapping, i thought it was dear, so i went toward it. it let me to the river, and i heard th kid, i ran like usain bolt tryin to get out. dont go in

i went out to place one night with some friends. with were with a couple of two year olds (twins) THEY TOLD US THE STORY!!! the lady is walking with her baby. there is a puppy. the baby is crying. mommy is trying trying to make the baby stop crying. baby wont stop crying. the mommy is putting the baby in the water.. the baby is crying.. (at this point the kids are both crying and the little girl started barking/whining like a dog) the little boy says: “the doggie is running to the mommy. the mommy is hitting the doggie. the doggie is crying” we asked where is the baby, they point down the creek and say that way. as adults, none of us heard the baby crying, but the twins DEFINITELY did!! we were going to go back in the graveyard (down the path) but the kids started screaming and said “if daddy goes back there he wont come back” needless to say, we didnt go to the graveyard.. maybe later *peaceout

Okay, people. If it’s really a baby, then how is it truly searching for it’s mother? If it’s that small, it shouldn’t be able to walk yet. And it would seem weird if someone saw a four month old baby walking through the woods.

i think this is all wrong

If you want scary go to texes at the old train station by the tracks you will see for your self

@ Sarah – Seriously? So the fact that it’s a 4 month old baby is the part you question? In your attempt to be a buzzkill you choose to focus on the argument of it shouldn’t be able to walk yet…or still be crying years later (or still be 4 months old) – that’s the unbelievable part? If you want to play the rational person and debunk the “ghost story” I would think you could come up with more credible points.

Welll where thee hell is it in muncie cuz i live there and i would love taa visitt!

The story of Cry Baby Bridge was a woman with her newborn child was on a carriage at the time the bridge had no railing on it. when they went over the bridge the feel off the side of it and into the water. from what I hear is that the woman is still looking for her child.
