Alright i too live and monmouth and im out to the bridge (cry baby) almost every night. Ive had weird things happen to me out there but not on the bridge, i always go to the timber surrounding the bridge.
For those of you needing directions here they are:
If you go into monmouth by mcdonalds, head north from the stop lights, you will see farm king up ahead, when you get to farm king go left on 210th avenue, go about 1 1/2 to 2 miles and it will be the first road to the right (its gravel and dont go to fast cause you will pass it when you go over a small hill) stay on that road and it will take you right to the bridge.
Like others say it doesn’t work all you people who put baby powder on your car and say thats there are little hand prints on there thats bull if you want to get scared out there then go on halloween me and my buddies will be out there to give ya a good scarin.
But honestly there is weird things out there, i was out there with my buddy and all the sudden we had a scream(like a full grown women scream) it came from down the creek where it bends (if your facin east) and by the time we could look at each other and ask what that was we heard it again and this time it was on the bridge…by the time my buddy turned his head to look at the bridge i was down the road and in the car! That aint no lie either you guys wanna go out there and walk around one night come on out you might see me out ther cuz like i said im always out there im goin out tonight to go see if i can get some of them spirits to talk to me and see if i can see those lights but this time im takin my video camera to see if i can recird any sounds out there.
if you have any more questions email me at scancy_27@hotmail.com p.s. buffords barn didnt burn down they tore it down and it was haunted a guy hung himself ther

its true i been there before

me and my friends were just out there last nite and it is really scary lookin and the bridge is on a slant but we put the car in nutral and it started to move off the bridge but u could feel like someone was behind u pushin you its was weird it was like they was takin turns pushin but we looked at the back of my car and there was no hand prints anywhere and as far as the grim reaper dont think that is true cuz didnt see it and is it true about this lady that rides a bike and falls off then cuts ur throat???

YEAH DUDE THIS IS YOUR BOY LEO ,and the story about the bridge is really true me and my friends park the car in neurtal and after like ten to 20 secound we felt a couple of bumps then we stated to go up the bridge the bridge is kinda going uphill to ,we didn’t go all the way down the road cuz we was scared.that is all BZEAY

hey, i live like 20 minutes from monmouth .. i have heard stories similar to that but haven’t exactly heard that one.. i’m not exactly sure if that is true or not.. but my dad grew up in monmouth and i’m sure that if it was true he would have told me by now.. sorry

I WENT THERE YESTERDAY AND I SAW HIM IN A BLACK ROBE IT SMELLED LIKE BLOOD AS I DROVE PAST HIM HE TOUCHED MY SHOULDER

Okay, this is obviously an URBAN LEGEND. It did actually happen several years ago, but it occured in Texas, and it was a school bus full of children that got stranded on a railroad track. Whether or not this incident took place somewhere else is highly unlikely. I live in Tucson, Arizona but I’m originally from Illinois, and I’ve been to Monmouth several times…and NEVER heard about anything like this. It’s a really neat story, but it’s obviously been blown out of porportion a little bit.

Oh, and to the person who’s referring to “Crybaby Bridge”, that’s actually located in Dublin, Indiana, in between Richmond and Indianapolis. This is another urban legend that no one has really been able to prove true or not! One rainy night, a woman and her infant son were driving across the bridge when the car lost control and went plunging into the water below.People say that late at night when you park on the bridge, you can hear the sounds of a woman crying, “Where, oh where has my baby gone?” This is because the police only found the woman’s body; her son’s body was never discovered, only a blue baby blanket.I did know a guy who went swimming in the creek a few years after this happened. Him and his buddies felt like someone was watching him, and they freaked out and made a quick getaway. But whether or not a similar incident took place in Monmouth? Like I said, highly doubtful. I’ve been through Monmouth before, several of my relatives have as well, and I’ve known people who’ve lived in the Monmouth area–and never heard of anything like this. No offense to anyone, but people really need to get their stories straight before they post them on here!

That would scare the **** out of me.

Just to let all of you know….Buford’s barn was supposedly haunted by a man who hung himself in it. I’m not sure if this is correct but that is what i’ve been told by several different people. As for cry baby bridge, I have been there a few times and it is pretty creepy. However nothing has ever happened to any car i was in or near. But at the time I was also told that both places were haunted and at that time the barn was still standing. So, therefore the ghost stories of the bridge did not come after the barn was burnt down. P.S. that damn barn was hella scary and when you were there at night when the moon was out it looked like you could see something swinging from the rafters!

so is this cry baby bridge real or what and be serious not no lieing bullsh$t

i am proffesionel ghost hunter and have chased the elusive spirits for years. i nowe this is all true becuse troy taylor of the american ghost society teaced me how to get gost real good. i am one of his bestest ghost getters he is very smart and makes oooodles of money off of people bying his books it is very hard to put out the same book over and over and cleverly only change the name. so be very careful when going for ghostes because they will get you if you do not bellydance for the spirits firt.

I went 2 the bridge about 3 years ago and I did’nt c any grim reaper. It was scary cause I couldnt c when I was going down the hill. It was at like 12 at night and the hill was steep 2 go down. I could’nt even c the bottom. I put the flour on my car and put the car in nutral. It rolled like it was supposed 2. The bridge is at a small slant so u roll weather u r going 4ward or backward. I saw finger prints cause of the oils on ur hands when u open or shut the trunk. I m a firm believer and was disapointed cause it is a true story about a bus full of kids and all. I would like 2 go there again just 4 fun. My email is 1419x@att.net f any1 is interested.

I find it funny how this particular highway only runs/ran through New Mexico, Colorado and Utah but yet is said to be in Monmouth…

I also find it funny how some people can’t spell simple words!

is that same thing in la piedad mich mexico going to en centro

Crybaby Bridge is a real place in monmouth, I should know, I grew up about a mile from it and my parents still live there to this day. If anyone from monmouth hasn’t heard of this place, its a small blue colored bridge that crosses over ceder creek, right next to the old Monmouth Rock Correy. Its located about 5 miles outside of the City limits. I grew up on the buferd barn and crybaby stories as a kid. I personnally have been down to that bridge hundereds of times as a kid, and have never witnessed anything. Most of the people that do, are
drunk teenage kids who go out there road tripped and looking to scare some buddies. I have researched in the monmouth library and have found nothing on anyone dying on or even near that bridge. As far as the bufards barn, his son never hung himself in that barn. It was just an old run down barn. A few kids had hung a noose from the rafters to try and make the story more realistic.
Both are just urban legends that the new and upcomming kids keep passing around.

So strange that today everyone has a video camera and so many people are walking around with cell phones that take pictures and videos, yet nobody ever has photos or video of anything supernatural happening in these spots. Tells me that none of it is true, no matter how much fun it is to believe…

So goes the story of being pushed across the bridge… Same story over here in Iowa in Viola…Hmmm, bunch of BS…

This is not true.
