I’ve been to this bridge twice in the mid 1980′s. I heard a girl’s scream both times.

I grew up on this road, Screaming Bridge is a very well known haunt, but they got the story wrong. The ghost is a woman looking for a lost cow walking along the railroad tracks with her lantern. She was killed by a train around the hour of midnight, and it is said, you can see her ghostly light walking along the tracks and hear her scream. That bridge is not high enough to kill anyone who jumped off of it — at worst you’d break a leg, lol. There are several stories about the bridge, but this one is the oldest that I know. The area was much more spooky back in the 70′s and 80′s when it was a little windy road barely big enough for one car – now days houses have been built along it and it has been somewhat cleared out.

I live a couple of miles from Maud Hughes and have driven across both bridges (there’s two, one is a one lane bridge while the other has two) at night time and never have I heard or seen this so called ghost. My friend who lives off of Maud Hughes hadn’t even heard of the myth until she saw it in the book “Weird Ohio.”

Basically, the story is totally made up.

Okay, so my friend Lauren and I went there last night around 10:30pm it took us a long time to actually stop and turn the car off because there was a lot of traffic, but when we did, we heard tapping on the back of her car, and like talking from under the bridge, we didn’t hear screaming though.. But there was a car coming so we started the car and left, as we were driving home I looked at the windsheild and on it was like half of an H like someone tried to spell out the word help.. But couldn’t finish the word because we drove away. Too creepy!!

ok my two friends had heard of this road and took me and my friends to this bridge. They told us that there were rumors of a ghost train or some ****. i believe that there is a logical reason for everything… first we see a faint light in the distance so i tell my friend to turn around and kill a couple seconds. we turn around in the nearest driveway we found. not being gone 20 seconds we return to the bridge and the is already past under us. the weird part was that every single cart on this train was the exact same as the next. But the freakiest part was when me and my friend noticed a figure off in the distance. we get out and wait for our friends to turn around yet again and find out that this… creature… is actually moving toward the bridge. I really couldn’t figure out what it was and it moved too slow so we didn’t want to wait for an hour to see this thing. but one thing was fer sure. it was bit and moved weird…. come to find out that everything we saw has been reported before… our minds were blown to say the least

I use to live not far from here, and EVERY Halloween, my mother and friends and myself would drive down this road. Not one did we hear anything. It would be pretty awesome if the rumors were true, but every time I go that way really late at night I’m yet again disappointed.

Poof, your comment generalizing an entire state as “nasty, violent, and ignorant” is out of line. What did start in the lunchroom between two groups of people in Feb of 1985 was going to be continued at that location only because everyone knew where it was. One of the two groups didn’t show up, but another party including the shooter did. As soon as the latter group showed the firearms, the former group left (in a car, not a pickup) and was pursued by the others (in a truck). But please, show me one state, one country that you think is not “nasty, violent, and ignorant” and I’ll find you an incident just as bad as this one. It’s a messed up world altogether. But all in all, Ohio isn’t the worst of the places to be.

I live right down the street from the bridge and drive across it atleast once every two weeks or so. I have never heard the scream of course but i have heard about it being haunted ever since i was very young.
