Crybaby Bridge
This area was once the hiding place of choice for many outlaws. Many years ago, a woman threw her small child off this bridge. Supposedly, the baby’s cry may still be heard at night.

Crybaby bridge is located on Galehouse Road between Rogue Hollow Road and Hametown Road. The road is now only open to Hametown (the road was closed just west of the bridge because the road climbed a steep hill). The bridge crosses over Silver Creek.

some friends and i were driving about 1 mile from the bridge and we all saw a white ghostly figure cross right in front of us….scared the living daylights out of us!

i dont think that any of that stuff is real i think that the ghosts and stuff are just peoples minds playing with then. like they thik that they saw stuff like that but they never really do. so it’s just all a big joke to me.

And yet there is still more! They even say that there is an evil van that will chase you in your car. And a hangmans noose that hangs in the window of an old house. And some **** about a the train tracks. And dont stop your car and turn it off under “gang bridge” or it wont start and some gang members will come and get you! aaahhh! scarred yet? I am not. I have ventured out to every stop in the famed Rogues Hollow and have not had even one strange encounter. Well one time we did almost run over a deer! But thats it. Now go visit Franklin Castle in Cleveland I believe that and I’ve seen happenings there with my own two eyes.

We were down around the devil triangle an a heaviness came over me. There was another road we took. We keep going in circles. We couldn’t get out of the place. No matter what way we took Left- Right we ended up in the same place in front of this old white house.

Years ago my brother and friends of ours and myself went out to cry baby bridge. On our way down the road that the bridge is suppose to be on the car swerved out of controle. The car stopped just short of a big bolder in front of a house.There had been no rain that day. Plus this was a summer night. No reason for the car to loose control. No drugs or drinking. Tommy turned the car around and we went back home to Akron. Not sure if that was a sign but we took it as one. Leave well enogh alone.

We went back down to Rogues Hollow on the Oct 9th.
Coming out of Rogues hollow we were chased by a car with it bright lights on. He was trying to make use reck on the curve that takes you down the hill.
The car was right on our bumper. We’ve made the turn to the left, but the car made a right - right down the hill forty miles an hour. No way he could of done this he would be dead. The time was about 9:00pm..

There are a lot of crybaby bridges out there.

The whole “babies dieing and being thrown off a bridge” theme gets old. But sad
Comment by Hannah | 12.31.2006 | 8:47 pm
back in the real days of the miners..they would use the hill to get home going into Warwick..as always doylestown was known for the many bars it had..also on payday the miners in their wagons and riding their mule or horses would be drunk as a skunk..the bandits so to speak ..always knew payday..and would rob these guys..of course many stories grew..as a kid in the 60’s who grew up riding horses with a group of about 15 ..would have the time of our life setting people up to scare the heck out of them..we would tie our ponies up get under the bridge now closed off..called cry baby bridge and wait for our friends to bring girls and guys and tell them to sit still in the parked car..and no one say any thing..needless to say we were the ghost..I have many more stories..it was the best time..it was before the historical society took over and we found a lot of caves too..well any one interested in any more Ive got tons more stories..hang man..scab man..ghost train..and some facts that are true..have a good one..sorry the younger people cant enjoy the fun we had..

Comment by alaina and sara | 10.17.2007 | 6:34 pm
Well I go to Norwayne High School and me and my friends are looking for something to do this Halloween. Is it really worth going there? I am in this news class at our school where we make videos and my friends and I want to go and film like a Ghost Hunters type deal. Just want to know if its worth it, or if it is easy to get to. (as far as walking around without passing cars every second) And what about the GHOST town or whatever. Easily accessible?
Comment by John | 10.23.2007 | 10:43 am

How many Crybaby Bridges do I have to read about in one state, geez! Not just that but how many are there in America! Give it a rest with Crybaby Bridges and stories about them! Maybe the story is an urban legend based on how many places the bridge is located? Oh well, it may just be that a lot of bridges got named the same and have sad, creepy stories attached to them, who knows.
Comment by Jen | 11.3.2007 | 3:00 pm
woooow this must be hella shadey aye people…lol why are you guys scared for the bible says that don’t be scared of anything but the Lord Jesus Christ and it says that we are all brothers and sisters and you knwo be prepared for the Lord is coming soon did you know that so if i were you i would give my life to Jesus.for those who are christians and knows God very well then good for you. okay i think that you have heard enough but anuyways yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
you should know that God could help you with anything that you need help with such as hw or study for your test at home
Comment by mary | 11.7.2007 | 10:10 pm
Well, first of all I don’t give a **** how many crybaby bridges are out there! Second of all , all you people out there who are doubting the legend are just cut throat critics, who doesn’t know what you’re talking about. Until you have actually been there and witnessed it for youself, what gives you the right to talk about us like we’re the crazy one’s? I for one have witnessed this and I know it is true, so back off!
Comment by Victoria | 12.16.2007 | 1:10 am
I often wondered as many stories as i’ve heard of crybaby bridge. Might this be real ? i have been to cry baby bridges 100’s of time . my friends and i would park near the tracks after having been to the bridge . i have never witnessed any of what alot of these people say . i was always curious my friends as well … we decided we would camp out there . the next morning of course we had a rude awakening but only to an officer saying that it was a high arson area and we were not permitted to be camping there .. now i have been chased by kids who thought they were cute and i have found a dog down there … but i have never heard a baby cry nor my car stop working nor handprints on it . i dont know what kind of a joke some ppl make this but i would have to say its not cute . now i have been there all hours even 12 on the dot but once again never heard nething . i truly believe its a myth and the things seen and heard are a figmentation of imagination .

if you go down Galehouse Road past crybaby’s bridge, you will come across the “devils triangle”. a couple of years ago, me and some friends went down there. Supposedly your supposed to go around the triangle 7 times in you car and see the devil. Also keep in mind, there is a road leading off to the supposed haunted tracks to your left. so we went around the triangle 6 times, and on our seventh time, this train blows its whistle, so we look to the to our left, and we see just the front part of a train. we took our cars and drove over to the tracks, but when we got there there was no train in sight. very freaky stuff.
Comment by bmess | 01.19.2008 | 12:24 pm
A correction to what I said before, as hektik pointed out, the road is open now at the Rogue Hollow Rd. end; some internet sources say it’s closed in the winter, but I’ve never checked. It’s very steep, so be careful navigating it.
