Cry Baby Hollow Bridge

I've been here a few times, I went for the first time about 6 years ago, and over the next year or so I went maybe 3 or 4 times. The thing someone else said about the truck is real, on my second visit we stopped at the bridge, turned our car off and sat for a few minutes. We had been there around an hour, as we had stopped a few times to sit in the woods. After it being dead silent for awhile, we hear this roaring engine coming from down the road. This road is not the type you'd want to be flying down, and there's a pretty sharp turn near the end where the bridge is at, so it's quite dangerous to go more than 20 around there. But then we saw the headlights, and it was coming seemingly straight for us. I cranked my car up and took off, and it was nearly touching my bumper as I sped up the road, which turns very steep very fast. It was terrifying, and kept me away from the place for a good while. The other times we had went, we heard strange things through the radio, saw what we thought to be a ghost train (I know there is a railroad but the train appeared to be translucent), and heard weird things in the woods.

Just yesterday I decided to go back for the first time in years with some friends who had never been. We turned our radio to a blank AM station and started our trip. Unfortunately we went the backwards way, where you go through the mansion neighborhood and get to the bridge first. (I do not recommend going this way, but if you do, go all the way through to the end and turn around so you can sit on the bridge and have an quicker exit.) We made our way through the road, stopped at a rock with the word "PREY" painted on it in red. Stopped at a few of the non haunted bridges, and then got past the railroad and turned around. Up to this point there hadn't been much activity, and I was worried we would leave with nothing to talk about, but when we got back to the bridge and turned the car off, it got weird. First it got quiet, it was a windy night so the sound of blowing leaves and creaking trees had been normal, but now all was silent. The only thing that could be heard was the faint gusts of wind and the bubbling of the creek below. Then, to our right side, we heard what sounded like rustling leaves. Not a big deal, there's plenty of animals in these woods, but then it sounded like it was getting closer... and it sounded like... a two legged creature. And then it got quicker, and I started the car and got the hell out of there. I did not want to stick around to find out what it was.

But yeah very spooky place, I recommend taking your time going down the road because it's not super long.

Me and my friends like to come here a lot. We think it is funny but also very terrifying. I always get an earry feeling coming here. My beta friends mom has this boyfriend that says when he was young, 2 girls that he knew passed on the train tracks close to the bridge. Now there is a story that if you put your car in neutral on the bridge, they will push you off so you don’t get killed like they did. I’m not sure if that is true or not but I have another story. Every time I come there I get chased out by a truck or car. They always go really fast down the road but it’s always the second time you go like if you were putting a candy bar on the bridge and came back to check on it, the car would chase you out. We are going tonight and I will put out an update of what happens. A friend went one time and said that they found a baby toy on the bridge and a diaper was under there truck when they went to eat dinner after going to the bridge. This story is seriously freaky and I hope everyone stays safe. Also last time I went I saw a black truck parked beside the bridge on the turn before going on it. Not sure what that’s about but maybe it won’t be there tonight!

I didn't understand why some people are flat out lying in lots of these stories but the one thing i know to be true about this area is that u will most certainly feel the evil energy! There used to be a house in one of the curves off in the field with 666 in it. There was a cult that was sacrificing animals and I've heard rumor even humans there back in the 80s and 90s so that would b where the evil feelings are coming from but i don't know much about what the cult was about other than doing sacrifices, i remember the house and the stories going on back when i was a little girl my parents talking about staying away from that area that there was bad things happening around there but never told me. As far as the bridge goes, i used to have to go thru that area and down kayo rd which is the rd the bridge is on, everyday. My paper route i run had me cutting thru as it ran from Hartselle to Flint and I've never experienced anything other than just being spooked when we would ever get out the vehicle to test the theories i had been told by the darkness and animals just being around, never anything "haunted" about it happened. People taking about hearing a train, well considering there is a train track that runs right thru that area would be why. Used to go fishing by the tracks and taped down coins to flatten them. I never felt any peace in that area so it's all weirdly spooky to me there! I had friends from my school days that lived close by, all in the Flint area talking about their homes being haunted or seeing people at their windows it end of their beds every night. Idk about u but i wouldn't ever be sleeping if i was seeing people standing at the end of my bed!!

I stayed with some friends I hadn't seen a while, they wanted to go to this bridge in the middle of the night. I took my tiny Bible bc I'm not into this haunted stuff. My best friend's fiance got out, left a candy bar on the bridge. We drove up and came back it was gone. They wanted to do this baby powder thing on the car, we did. While we checked for handprints, we heard a loud screeching scream. Got in the car and left immediately. When we got to their house and in bed, I heard them scream, their bedroom lights started flickering. We all laughed and dismissed it. A month later he was home alone and died in that bedroom. Idk why, but I keep thinking about how into this haunted stuff he was and that bridge.

When I was younger my mom , dad and aunts use to always talk about crybaby holler and they would tell me stories about it, and one day they ended up taking me and my brother there late at night and they grown up went out and left Candy where they was supposed to put it and I remember me and my aunt was talking and I look out the window and seen weird creepy thing ( it had no hair fr patches of hair, I didn’t see no eyes, and sharp longish teeth) . It was there for like a minute and left after

A friend and I left a candy bar, with one half unwrapped, on the bridge, we went down the road, turned around and when we retrieved the candy bar, there was a perfect bite mark with some of the candy gone. There were no teeth marks. The screams some heard could have been mine. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. I've never been back!!

October 2023

We went tonight and opened a candy bar and set it on the corner of the bridge. We drove down a little bit and came back and the candy was gone. It was nowhere to be found. It was quiet, no noises whatsoever. None. Dead quiet.

My 2 friends and I were walking down the trail by the bridge in the middle of the night and during our walk we heard a really loud human like scream coming from in the woods and we started running like hell. It was only a single scream and idk why a girl would be out in the woods in the pitch black darkness, or if someone was being hurt why they’d just scream once and not say help or anything. Happened a few years ago but I never forgot about it.

My friends and I go here 1-2 times a week for fun. I’ve always believed that my mind was siking me out until this past weekend. We went on friday after our school football game and saw a babydoll lying on the side of the bride. My friends got out and got the babydoll to scare us, then one of my friends threw the babydoll into the water under the bride. We went back two days later and the babydoll was back laying there on the side of the bridge.
