Maud Hughes Road
It is said that many years ago, a young couple was driving across the bridge. Amid a heated argument, the girl became so angry that she opened the door and jumped out of the car. Falling to her death, it is said that she let out a primal scream. Allegedly, if one drives across the bridge, the girl may still be heard screaming.

Why do the always scream! I mean (or is it meen) you do not have the time to scream whern you jump out from a moving car. It is just hop ans splat!

I grew up in this area, the part of the road where this occurs is north on Maud Hughes off of Princeton Road, in Liberty Township. The bridge is called Screaming Bridge, located over train tracks. Supposedly if you stop on the bridge & turn off your vehicle she will appear & you can hear her screaming. We always got too freaked out to wait around for her, so we always left early, sometimes we were screaming ourselves in fear of her anticipated appearance. The story has been around a VERY LONG TIME, not copied from another state that I know of.

Ok, I want to start off by saying that I am the world’s largest skeptic…or at least I used to be! In October 1994, my wife and I, along with a couple of our friends decided that it would be fun to explore some of the “local haunts”. Not being a native to the area, I had never heard anything about the Maud Hughes Bridge. After hearing all of the stories about the screams and sightings, we decided that we had to go explore it for ourselves. It was about 10pm on a Friday night, when we finally came upon the bridge. I didn’t feel comfortable parking the car and shutting the lights off on the bridge because of the blind curves that are on both sides. So, we parked our car at the bottom of the hill and walked up to the bridge. We were all a little nervous because of the No Trespassing signs posted all over the place, but neverless, we pursued on. I must admit that we never heard any screams on the bridge, nor did we see any apparitions. So, we decided to walk down underneath the bridge, on the tracks and see what we could find. As we were walking down the north side of the bridge, we were startled by a car getting ready to cross over the bridge. Being that we were clearly “trespassing”, we all decided to take cover and hunker down in the underbrush and wait until the car passed. The car finally made its way over the bridge, and we continued on toward the railroad tracks. Nathan, one of our friends, started through the thick underbrush first. I followed behind him, and my wife and other friend were close behind me. At this point, we had to stop because of the briars and we were looking around for another way down to the tracks. All of a sudden out of nowhere, I was hit! I don’t mean punched, but hit in the back with a force strong enough to lift me off my feet and throw me through the air into the area of my friends. The blow was so fierce that it literally knocked me out of my shoes! At first, I was not scared, but pissed off because I thought someone had tackled me from behind. But, when I landed in the middle of my friends and flashlights scanned the area, there was no one else there! Needless to say, I was terrified, and so was my colleagues. We ran back to the car, and drove back to Cin-Day Rd. in silence. We stopped at a Speedway to get a pack of cigarettes, and when I stepped out of the car, my wife panicked! There on the back of my black leather jacket were two HUGE hand prints in the center of my back.
Now, Im not asking anyone to believe this. I would have never believed it, had I not been the one to experience it. However, I do have audio footage of everything that happened that night, and if anyone would like to hear it, please send me an email at: jack_p@teameps.com

This is true, I live only a mile away, and my experience was that when I stopped the car to wait, we all heard a scream, and I couldn’t get my car to start. After I waited another minute or two it started. I’m a mechanic, and I know my battery was charged and the starter didn’t have any problems with sticking. Very scary! To comment on Jacks entry about the two hand prints on his back, maybe it was the girl falling from above? creepy!

This is an old story. My Mom is 58 yrs. old and she went there in high school. I haven’t been there yet but, I am gonna go one night. My Mom said her and some friends went there and they heard the scream and saw a figure wearing a white dress walking on the train tracks, back then they were all too scared to stay and see what else happens. So they went home. But, she says looking back she wishes she would of stayed. Maybe she will go with me sometime to check it out.

I am from Parma and I remember hearing about this back when I was in grade school. I forgot all about that until now. I think I will go check it out one of these saturdays. It is Halloween time. Thanks,

Been there, done that. Wish I had a “T” shirt. In 1967 (senior year) we used it as a make out place. I heard many screams, grunts and young girls moaning stuff like “Oh God” and “Yes,yes, yes!”
Did have the light come to the car one night but it must have been a friendly ghost or maybe she wanted to watch and couldn’t see what was going on in the back seat because the windows were fogged up. Someday I’m going back and see if I can still hear those screams.

I grew up near this road and all the guys used to take us there on dates to scare us. It is a true story but a train hit the car and killed the boy after she jumped and you can hear the trin coming if you stip on the tracks. So this story is true. It is a pretty wild ride.

I was raised in w.Chester. This bridge was referred as “the screaming bridge” in the 90’s. The story that I recall was something like this, a young couple were driving across the bridge, when the car stopped for no reason. The boy was driving, and he couldn’t get the car started again. He told the girl to lock the doors he was going to get help. She did as he asked, then she heard a tapping sound on the window, she got out to find her boyfriend, was hanging from a tree, (it was his class ring tapping the window) she started to scream!! I think she then was killed as well, I really can’t recall the rest of the story. I think the best time to see or hear anything is somewhere between 10p and 12am. I know many friends who have had different experiences. Remember if you visit you must be willing to wait, there is an certain time in which these events take place.
