Ok there is like a cry baby bridge in every country!I’ve heard so many diffrent versions of the story its slowly becoming idiotic to listen to people claim they seen it.Now take into consideration that its impossible for all these “historical events” im appauled to say happened all over the united states.There can only be one true version to this story and I bet 9 times out of 10 that this never occoured in Ohio but in the main Settle lands such as Maryland,Maine,Etc….as you call them the 13 original Colonies.

man if u think thas real do yo thing but i damn show dont

i belive, just joke i was sarced out of my mine.and still is u anit know

Hey people… I’m 29 and live in Toledo. My house is haunted by my grandfather who died here in 1987. Seems as though someone new comes in this house… he puts on a show. He will open all the cupboards turn on/off ALL the lights…It’s kind of fun to see what will happen next. Does anyone have a similar problem?

There is a “crybaby bridge” in every county in Ohio. They are all urban legends made up by bored kids. None of these locations are haunted. How many of these stupid stories have you heard? Flash your lights 3 times… honk your horn 3 times… pick up the ghost hitchhiker…. listen to the baby cry… watch for the guy looking for his missing head…blah blah blah. They are ALL just urban legends. Nothing to them.

i am only 11 years old and ive herd many things about fudge road and my grandparents live on fudge road by “crybaby bridge”i have been down there by myself tons of times and never have seen anything

“Cry Baby Bridge Lima, OH

By: thestarkiller01@yahoo.com

Hello, there

My name is Fred, and I just wanted to share an experience that has kinda haunted me for years. You see, I used to live in Lima, OH, which as you know is the location of one of the many bridges in this nation labled Cry Baby Bridge. I used to think that Lima was unique in that one aspect, but tonight, almost ten years after my experience, I find myself sitting at my computer looking up all I can to learn the real legend behind that road, only to find that Lima, OH isn’t the only place with a Cry Baby Bridge. I’ve already found reference to two different ones, besides Lima, in Ohio alone. That isn’t even counting all the others spread across the country. Well, I can’t vouch for the others, but the one in Lima truly exists, and isn’t just a legend. I wish to share my account of what happened to me nearly ten years ago on that road, plus some of the other stories I’ve heard about the surrounding area.

First of all, I can’t really remember what year it was, only that I was between the ages of fifteen and seventeen and I’m currently twenty six. This would place it right around ten years ago, but my memory of the evening is still vivid in my memory; including the feelings surrou ing my experience.

I grew up in Lima, OH, and heard stories all my life about supernatural occurances on Greely Chapel Rd. The road, by all accounts, seemed to be a sort of lightning rod for ghostly presences, and its appearance certainly lends credence to such claims. One night my friends and I decided to check out what everyone refered to as Cry Baby Bridge. We all piled into a friend’s truck and headed out for the road.

As I said above, the road has many stories surrounding it. I can’t personally validate all of the stories, but I would like to share them all anyway. Before we set out that night, we got to talking about the road. Someone mentioned a house that you pass right as you turn onto the road. Apparently this house had been abandoned for nearly a decade, the power had been shut off long ago, but the porch light was always on. When we passed this house, sure enough the porch light was on, but none of us had the courage to go and find out if it was deserted. Another piece of superstitious nonsense that we talked about was the classic story of the headless motorcyclist. You know, the story about the motorcyclist who wrecked his bike and was decapitated on a stop sign, and, supposedly, if you shine your breaklights on the stop sign you’ll see a ghostly image of his blood pouring down from it. Once again, not validated by me, so we’ll move on to what I DID experience.

There’s a story of a truck, a BIG truck, with lights all around it that prowls the road. This truck is not natural by any means. I’m not sure about its backstory, but supposedly, if you drive down Greely Chapel Rd. with any intention other that getting from point A to point B, this truck will try to run you off the road. There’s also a story of a man in a farm house who commited suicide by shooting himself under the chin with a shotgun. The man in the story s described as having a long, white beard and wearing denim overalls. Finally was the story about the bridge itself. The actual bridge, it was said, is not actually on Greely Chapel Rd., but the stream that the original bridge crossed over intersects with it. If you drive over this bridge at night (doesn’t matter what time, trust me), there is a board on it that creaks and sounds exactly like a baby crying. The actual bridge is way back in the woods located at the end of the road and can only be reached by foot. It was said that a cabin stood back there in the 1800’s, and that a woman lived there by herself. She had a child shortly after her husband had been killed and was forced to raise the baby alone. One night the baby’s crying became too much for her to handle so she drowned it in the stream outside of her cabin. She then went back into the cabin and killed herself. You better watch yourself if you try to travel back there, however, since the story also tells of the man with the shotgun in the overalls chasing away anybody who tries to make the trek.

Now for the actual account of what happened that night some ten odd years ago.

We piled into a friend’s truck and headed for Greely Chapel Rd. As soon as we saw the beat up white picket fence that marks the entrance to the road, I felt a chill run the length of my spine and the hairs stand up on the back of my neck (I can’t look at white picket fences without getting that feeling to this day). We traveled the length of the road to the point where the stream intersects with it and turned off the radio. Just to increase the silence so we could hear better, we pulled up to the bridge and put the truck in neutral to let it roll over the bridge and rolled down the windows. Sure enough, we heard the sound of a baby crying as it ran over a certain board. I’m certain that it was just the creak of the board that made this ound, but the resemblance to a baby’s cry was too unmistakeable to dismiss. My friend, the one who owned the truck we were in, suggested that we go to the end of the road and travel back into the woods to find the actual location where it was said the woman drowned her baby. When we got to where the road curves off into a different direction, we got out of the truck. I immediately noticed an extremely run down barn right by the entrance to the woods. I could have turned and run right there, but I didn’t really feel like doing so on this particular road while my friends kept on going, so I went with them. We didn’t even get into the woods when we heard a gunshot coming from the barn. We turned to look and a man with a white beard wearing overalls came charging from the barn with a shotgun. We hopped in the truck and headed back in the direction we came from. We thought we were alright and that it was all over. However, when we started nearing the beginning of the road, I and my other friend in the seat beside me noticed that there was a really bright light coming from behind us that kept getting brighter. When we turned to look there was a huge truck directly behind us, almost touching our rear bumper. The lights on the truck were so bright we couldn’t even see inside of it, despite how close it was. And the size of this truck was amazing. It dwarfed the one we were in. As our driver accelerated, so did the truck behind us. It might have run us off the road if we had had to stay on it for very much longer. As we neared the entrance to the road we looked back and the truck was just gone. Now, I would have thought nothing of this if it weren’t for the fact that there were NO places that it could have turned off to between where I had last looked at it and when it suddenly disappeared. It just vanished. Adrenaline pumping, we went back to my friend’s house in silence. None of us have spoken of he incident since then, but if I’m still freaked out about it after ten years then I know they both still are.

I don’t know how much this helps you in verifying your information about the road. Nor do I even know if anybody will read this whole thing, after all, it has been rather long winded. All I know is that I feel a hell of a lot better finally telling this story to somebody who will hopefully believe me and not roll their eyes. If you’re ever in Lima, OH, look the bridge up, just don’t linger there too long. For all I know, it could have been our collective imaginations running wild. The guy in the overalls could have been just a local hick farmer trying to run trespassers off his land. The truck could have been him trying to make sure we didn’t come back. There could have even been a side road or trail I failed to notice that he turned onto when he saw that we were leaving. The more I think about it, though, the more vividly it all comes back to me, and I don’t think any of that was the case. When I was there, I got a clear sense in the back of my mind that I was desecrating something unholy just by being there. I believe that what I experienced that night was real.”

fred r u there

There is more than one Crybaby Bridge in Ohio. Manny tales tell of a mother and her baby and at least one of them dying. A bridge near me was supposedly the site of a mother who could not care for her baby therefore through it over the bridge. The guilt was too much and she through herself over the bridge as well. When you drive up not only do you hear the gurgling cries of the baby…but, as you drive away your back windows are supposed to posses dirty babies feet and hand prints. It’s true…and the babies handprints are hard to get off.

Another area where I live has a bridge that a young girl threw herself over because her boyfriend was killed in a car accident. You can see her under the bridge looking up as she calls very slowly. “Derek…” Her lovers name apparently…

Either everyone who has commented on this page has an I.Q. somewhere near 39 or Ohio public schools are utterly terrible. “i belive, just joke i was sarced out of my mine.and still is u anit know”- ?

i dont get y there r no detailS!

There is a cry-baby bridge in EVERY county in Ohio. I tried to tell my room-mate that when I moved to college, and she said they had one in their town also, which was in southern Ohio.

I live in Marion Ohio. There is 2 crybaby bridges hear. There is the original 1 and the new 1. They are in two totally different places. The new 1 should not be called crybaby bridge because nothing happens there. The old 1 is very scary you go when its dark out flash your head lights twice shut your car off, and you will hear the crys of a baby.The screaming of the mother. The storie is the mother and her baby were on there way home. It was very foggie out and she drove off the bridge….

I DO belive in ghosts and Spirit’s so I can say I think it might be true. but I have to hear and see it for myself. no judging you guys but I need to see it first thats how I know there are ghosts CAUSE I SEEN MY DAD a couple days after his funeral so I know they are there. thanks for your time and by chance reading this story of mine.

ok i for one is sick of all the dam cry baby bridges or roads ledgends or stories. i was born and rasied in toledo oh an now live in walbridge oh. ever since ive been looking up local history of ohio all ive come across is that dam stupid crybaby bridge story and im sick of hearing it. ive come across at least ten or more from dam near every county in ohio. i do belive in ghosts i grew up in a haunted house so i know that they are real. whom ever statred that dam ledgend about that dam crybaby bridge needs to be shot.

Yeah I Dont Know… On my Birthday We went to this Bridge In Williams county… The Lockport Bridge…Its a covered bridge kinda freaky looking. Its on a T road where you can only turn left or right because straight across is a cemetary! They say after midnight you stop your car roll down the windows flash your lights at the cemetary three times and be quiet and you can hear a baby cry….like some of the other stories a distressed woman couldnt get her baby to stop crying so she threw it off the bridge and it died…well we didnt hear anything but it was right at dusk and its wasnt very scary either! When I turn 16 in a couple of months me and my friends are gonna try it again! who cares If you dont believe in it Its All Fun And maybe if were lucky we might hear SOMETHING!…………..
Another story with a different outcome…Same Bridge,The Lockport Bridge, My sister and her friends went down there at 3 am …you know what 3 am is if you’ve seen “the exsorcism of emily rose”…and stopped the car rolled down the windows flashed the lights 3 times became silent and like me they didnt hear anything! They all thought this was halarious rolled back up the windows and went to start the car and then it gets scary… they couldnt get the car to start and they heard scratching sounds on the bottom of the car… This Is a honest story! They freaked out and paniced… they Finally got the car to start after about 5 mins. and drove of… everyone was relieved but still scared of what just happend… another scary thing about the bridge is its by woods and the road we take to get home you have to go through them and at 3 at night its not too plesent. at everystop sign they would hear the scratching again and it wasnt like a sound the the car was making this was like animal scatching…when they got home they were a bit afraid to run up to the house because its kinda a long walk from the barn that they park in…and right before they got out the scratching started! They ran as fast as they could and got to the house unfortunatly the house they were staying in my sister’s friend Mandie*’s house is super haunted I’ve stayed there and have had stuff happend to me that were unexplainable and almost every night something freaky happends…and this night wasnt any different than any other night it was snowy out and my sister had just fallen asleep but then she woke up around 4:15am it was still dark out and she was faceing a window and she saw someone standing at the window and then it walked away after about 30 seconds of her staring at it… she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her but the next morning there was footprints from the barn where the car was parked to the window and then out to the feild by mandie’s* house and it wasnt her parents because they hadn’t been outside plus there would have been tracks form the door to the barn then to the window and back up to the door but theses tracks disapeared into the feild…?…talk about a SCARY NIGHT!!!
