Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

Governor’s Bridge

Anne Arundel County, Maryland

Many years ago, a young unmarried teen-aged girl became pregnant. Afraid to tell her parents, the girl took her newborn baby and dropped it over the side of the bridge. Realizing what she had done, the girl jumped from the bridge and fell to her own death. Today, the woman stands in the middle of the bridge, frightening drivers. One truck driver drove into the side of the bridge trying to avoid hitting the woman. When police went to investigate the scene, there was no evidence of anyone having been on the bridge.

I live fairly close to the bridge. If it is the same bridge I used to ride over on my motorcycle years ago…it is a one lane bridge (at least it used to be) and very low to the water. I can believe she dumped the baby in and killed it. But if she jumped, she would not have died – not from that height. It was really rural and isolated when I used to ride back there.

There was another more believable story – about two cars hitting headlong on the bridge (to cross – you had to wait if another car was coming thru). Supposedly, some people were hurt and somebody got killed. It would make more sense to research the bridge and see if anybody REALLY died on or near the bridge.

I live near this bridge and have been there many many many times. Most of the time late night with lots of friends. I have also partied in the near by woods. There have been many creepy sounds but I’ve never heard the sounds of the “cry” but I still am hopeful and look for the trouble. There did use to be an old church not far from there all alone in the woods, I have been there it’s on the P.G. county side. That place was creepy felt like I was being watched from downstairs…..But as far as the bridge…I have seen white flashes in the woods but nothing we stayed to see more of…I will still try to hear, you surposed to be there at midnight……….happy haunting

Well, I know a different place, Old Ellicott City. You might have heard of Creepy College or Hell House as I like to call it, but they also have a cry baby bridge, and if you put your car in neutral, something actually lifts it up the hill! Right by both of the “attractions”, is 7 hills. Alot of people die there because they are reckless drivers, but if you go be careful, 7 hills is on college ave in ellicott city hell house and the bridge is right after you get off the road.

Directions from Brooklyn-take 97 to rt 540 east, then follow Eric’s direction above.
I remember years ago joy riding to the bridge late one night because of the ghost stories told. The story I heard was that the teen hung herself from the middle of the span after dropping the baby over.
Well the night we took that ride, we got a flat tire just after we crossed the bridge. It was pouring down rain and the one guy we had with us didn’t want to get out of the car(he was afraid) We all ended up standing next to him while he changed the tire. We were scared to death! But… never really heard or saw anything. The fear was the thrill!!!

yeah i have been there too many times…when i was first taken there i was 16 and had recently just got my license…my friend thought it would be funny…so she was giving me directions and then i end up on this one lane bridge…so thats when she tells me to stop and turn my car off and make sure the windows are rolled down..i started to get a little freaked out about my friend…and left but none of us ever saw anything…after that i would always take my friends there you had never heard of it and scare the **** out of them..but nothing would happen..so i dont know if i would belive that it is haunted…i think that there might have been a murder/sucide but i really dont think it is haunted…i have now been there tons of times and i can honesty say that i have never seen anything

Again…the bridge in question is only a few feet off the river. You won’t die from the jump. I agree with an earlier comment that if this woman (no name given – strange) had a baby (full-term) – then the parents must have known about it. This urban myth has very little if any verifiable data – so it is very difficult to research. No date, no name. You do have a bridge. Brianna, I believe in ghosts. I have actually experienced ghost and EVPs myself. My thought for you is to go back to school – learn how to write and speak – and stop attacking everyone verbally that takes a different view from yourself. People, find a new bridge…this story is lame.

For everyone, Cry baby bridge is real. Ive lived in Glen Burnie for a long time and when I was in high school everyone went to the haunted spots. Theres so many of them half arnt even listed on this web site. There is a satanic church that is painted completely black. These arnt rumors all u have to do is go there and see for your self. Its that simple.

Well actually plenty of girls have hidden their pregnancies to full term and delivered w/o anyone knowing and then dumping their babies. They usually been found but this is why they created the law where you can drop your baby off at a church, police department, fire department w/o being prosecuted or arrested. I know it is hard to conceal a pregnancy being I was pregnant and my belly was HUGE but I dont know maybe they starve theirselves, but girl do get away with it.

I live 1 mile from the bridge and drive across it twice a day, never seen anything but it is creepy. we were there at midnight on Halloween, drunk as monkeys on red wine just standing on the bridge but witnessed nothing. I did, however, get 2 flat tires driving across it one day on my way to work.
