i would like to believe this one but i highly doubt it.

i went there about 5 days ago at like 3am with my girlfriend and her friend. nothing happened and i highly doubt anything like mentioned above

OOOH! I

There is one like this in Mascoutah, Illinois… except it’s railroad tracks.. supposively teens got killed by a train on these tracks, so if you park your car on them and put it in Nuetral..n then put baby powder or flour on your car, you will be pushed up the hill and there will be hand prints left on it… it’s also true.. it worked for alot of people i know.. i’m goin there tonight

I’ve lived in Monmouth all of my life. Have heard of a lot of haunted places. I’ve never have heard of this one,(and we look for this stuff) Are you sure you have the right place?????

i went to mascoutah last nite and it is true about your car being pushed you get goin like 20 mph in neutral with car off it is some freaky ****

Hi I am only a kid and I’m really fasinated with ghosts I really need help trying to get some stoies but your stories are great.

for those of you wondering about the hauted tracks near mascoutah heres the scoop. there are no tracks at this spot that is said to be haunted they were removed in the early 90s when norfolk southern moved there major rail traffic north of mascoutah. well anyway im from rural mascoutah and have been to then (old tracks) many times
its not easy to find them at nite there hardly a bump in the road anymore since the county has resurfaced the crossing many times over the years the tracks are almost in someones driveway once you face south on the road that crosses the tracks your facing a house one house only so dont be supprised to see the homeowner come out and confront you it you are out there. well i guess now would be a good time to tell ya all where it is
……. heading west from mascoutah on il 177 you will travel about 3 milles on your left you will see and rentchler road head south on rentchler road untill you come to rentchler station road take a right drive that road untill it splits go with the side that dosing turn to gravel which is left one you make that left and are facing south you will see a slight rise in the road. drive over that rise completely you want your front bumper paralell to the dead end sign put you car in neutral and put flour on the rear of your car you will after some time if sitting in the vehicle you will feel something as if somone was jumping on your rear bumper and the car will begin to roll backwards toward the north and that all there is to it you realy do get forced over the old crossing but sckeptics say its from momentum cause by a slant in the road. look for your self theres no slant well i hope you guys enjoy checking it out its spooky. find it durring the day then come back at night to try it have fun

well thats funny you said that….iv lived in monmouth all my life n just this year i went down to that bridge….its called cry baby bridge…..me n my friends go donw there to get drunk and fool around wit ppls heads….its pretty funny to see ppl make fools of themselves cuz it doesnt work….the bridge is on a slant…..cuz its down hill….my friends like to fool around with ppl wearing masks and stuff and jumb on the back of ppls cars to scar them but its all just a joke…..iv heard many many stories about it but the one i believe the most is that there was this bus full of kids drivin home from school and they were goin to fast and feel into the bridge….ppl really dont know what happend…..but there is a real story about it….it happend to me and my friend….we were leaving the party from the bridge going up the hill and we turned left and we were goin down that road to go back to the highway to go home and we saw this lady riding on a bike….with cats….black cats…..cats just everywhere around her…..we have heard the story n i was driving n i was freakin out so i put the peddle all the way to the floor…..the story is that if you see that old lady riding her back….right when you go past her she will fall on her bike and get you to turn around and help you and when you do she will cut your throught…..so we went all the way around town to get back to the bridge to tell our friends about it n they didnt believe us….n we thought that one of them did it to freak ppl out but no one did…..so we showed them where she was and she was still laying there so everyone was getting spooked out and just kept going…..i cried all the way home!! so if you go their around the summer time or around halloween we will be there tryin to spook you out….even tho ppl know we do that they still get scared! peace out and have fun! NO DRINKING AND DRIVING! LOL

Wow, Witch eh? Well freaky stuff. If a witch tried to cut your throat why dont you just ask. I’m going to help you whore.

Then she will cut your throat but still.

Wow, freaky. Just one question: who thought of putting baby powder or powdered sugar on their car? Did someone just decide, ‘hey, I’m going to cover my vehicle in sugar and drive down a haunted bridge’ ?

I went to Cry Baby Bridge this past weekend 1/28/06. Let me tell you it was something messed up. We got there and right at the point where the road becomes the bridge part, we put the car in Neutral. This bridge has like a 5% uphill grade to it, so there is a little uphill action. We were stopped in Neutral for like 5 seconds then we got a “bump” or “push” and we started rolling across the bridge. If there was a downhill slant to this bridge, we would have had a continual steady roll down the hill. But that’s not the case we got several noticeable “pushes” till we reached the other side of the bridge. We wanted to use the flour trick, but it was raining so that would have been dumb. I wish I could remember how to get out there, but I was with someone else who was driving.

Maybe it got spilled?

yeah well i went to the bridge and didn’t know i was going to. i was passed out in the back seat on my 21st birthday on 09/05/05 and when everyone woke me up they were out of the car looking over the bridge pointing. i got out and stumbled over to see what they were looking at. we saw a bunch of dim lights but they weren’t fireflies. they were bigger and white light, not yellow, and u could see through the light. the more we talked, the more we saw. pretty soon, we heard the sound of a crying baby in the woods. i ran and got in the car but nobody else did. i got back out a few minutes later and walked around the front of the car with the headlights on and saw big sets of footprints and tiny baby footprints. i didn’t say anything and looked over to see if everyone had their shoes on and they did so i showed them. then they started yelling over the bridge and the lights came up toward us. the lights were about the size of a softball and dim. i got goosebumps and got in the car didn’t care what anyone else was doing. before we left, we put the car in neutral and felt a push and not only went across the bridge but up to the gravel road on the other side. the next day i looked at my bumper cuz my dad asked if someone was pushing my car. i saw big and tiny handprints all over the bumper and tiny fingerprints on the back window.

Cry baby bridge is about 1-2 miles North of Monmouth and IT IS REAL, no matter who believes me or who doesn’t I will remember it for the rest of my life. Three friends of mine and myself went to the bridge in the fall of `05, it was late probably 1:30am. We all got out and stood on the bridge for a while with the car parked on it and nothing happened. So, we decided to try and talk to ‘the spirits’, we started by yelling and asking them if they were okay and if anyone was there to give us a sign. As we started talking to them theese little lights started to appear in the trees, they almost looked like fireflys but it was way to cold outside for them and the lights never moved, they would stay in the same spots and go off and on as we talked to them, there were even some in the water. We heard a distinct cry come from the trees, but it was no human or dog, we will never be sure of what it was. The feeling on the bridge quickly went from warm to cold, we decided to turn on the headlights and look around for any thing we may find on the bridge, the bridge is all sand,like broken down gravel. And sure enouph there were tiny baby foot prints all over the bridge, and even some adult-sized foot prints but only a few, and there were circle inside circle marks by the big foot prints like from the bottom of a crutch. We had done the car in neuteral stunt when we first got there and it worked, but the bridge is at a slight downward slant. So, we decided to check the bumper for hand prints and there were tiny hand prints all over the thing! There was gravel dust on the bumper so we didn’t need baby powder or anything like that, and there were even a few big hand prints up higher on the back of the car. By this time we were already convinced about this place but my friends didn’t stop there. They kept yelling over the west side of the bridge asking them if they needed help and if there was anything we could do, and all the lights appeared again only more and more the longer we stood there and the more we yelled. Pretty soon the woods looked like tiny X-mas trees, but we kept talking to them. Then all at once it got very dark and all those little lights started rising up out of the trees as more were appearing and they all started to swirl in what seemed to be the direction for us! And we heard this noise like a huge rock being dumped into the water, only it wasn’t the noise of it going in, it was the noise of it coming back out right for us and all around us it felt, and sounded like 20 people running on the bridge. And just for a moment I felt lost, like there were all theese people around me and I couldn’t find my friends that were standing right next to me. It all happened so quick, it was very confusing at first But we all jumped in the car and took off as fast as we could.

I left the above comment, and if anyone doesn’t believe me **** off. But if there is anyone who wants directions or what not please e-mail me at:

hmm yea well i live in illi to and this school i go to someone made up this romour about a old janitor and his name was ” crazy dave” and he used to kill girls and use their hair as mops and me n my friend went into his locker room and it was old and dusty and we didnt wanna go in so we closed the door and walked into the gym and we walked back and the door was opened again.

i have been to cry baby bridge myself and the legend was as stated we parked the car in the middle of the bridge and turned it off put the powder on the trunk of the car and put the car in neutral the car was pushed off forward off the bridge. there were hand prints on the trunk of the car. so we turned around and tried it the other way and yet again the car was pushed forward off the bridge. was really neat. as for the grim reaper we never saw it but you know i believe it could happen.

this sucks
