Real Haunted House

Crybaby Bridge

Newton Falls, Ohio

This covered bridge with a covered pedestrian walkway was built in the 1800s and is the oldest of its kind. Legend has it that a woman decided to murder her baby and thus threw him off the side of the bridge where he plummeted to his death. Since then, many have reported hearing a baby’s cry coming from beneath the bridge.

The cry baby bridge story in Newton Falls, when did this start? The closest cry baby bridge I knew of is in Doylestown, in small little place called Rouges Hollow. I have been to Rouges Hollow, and never heard a baby cry, However there ARE alot of folklore about the place that is true. Look it up if you want to. As for the bridge in Newton Falls, I lived there for 8 years and graduated from Newton Falls High, I never heard that one…

The South Carolina one is real. Me and my friends went their one time. The real story is when you say you have the gohsts baby it will chase you off the bridge then dissappear. Our car door locked when everyone was outside and we couldnt get in. There is a church across the bridge that has blood marks inside and 4 angels in the corners of the sanctuary. This one is the real deal

Ok. I grew up in NF, mostly. Elementary through graduation. I lived right down the road from the old/new cemetery. (On one side of the river it’s old the other side it’s new) The old side is haunted, especially around a hidden tomb there. Yep I could walk there at night without being seen (due to the geography of the location) so I did. There are definitely ghosts there, go figure. One grave stone was especially odd. Though cold outside and even on the edges of the stone, the center was really warm. As far as the bridge, false imo. There is another bridge in town though, one that many don’t even know about. I have never heard of a story connected to it, but I have even in the daylight heard and seen things there. It’s not a covered bridge, it’s rather old and metal. It’s next to an open field on a backroad. By the way, you people do realize that NF used to have TWO covered bridges.

same story, different town. don’t know the history, but know the story.
outside great falls south carolina. older sister and friends used to tell
me if you drove across the bridge, the car would stall,in the middle and
if you got out and dropped a rock over the side into the water, you could
hear, the baby cry. just a bunch of teenagers trying to keep urban legends
going. but i will however say it makes for intresting conversation. besides
if it weren’t for these so called ” ghost stories” when someone asked you
if you knew of one or had any experiences you’d have to say no. I for one
don’t mind them. it’s a part of history, true or not
