Share Your ExperiencesThere is evil there no doubt!
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!!

Don't go
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.

Candy Bar
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!!
Posted 10/23/23Candy Bar Disappeared
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.
Posted 10/22/23Scream in the middle of the woods
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.

Baby Doll
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.

Research on area of Crybaby Hollow
Okay, so the last thing anyone wants to hear is research I did once for a school project on local myths. There is an element in the legend around the railroad crossing. The claim is that if you put your car in neutral on the tracks, an invisible force will push your car off the tracks. Now, I can't stress how dangerous that is in the first place, especially since the catalyst for these elements of the legend was a real and terrible tragedy. In the 90's, 2 teens lost their lives at the railroad intersection when their vehicle collided with an oncoming train. The accident was at no fault of their own. The county did not have a crossing light put in place to warn traffic of oncoming trains, and that cost them their lives. I ask for people to please be safe and respectful of the area because of this tragedy. The only reason why the signal was put in was to prevent another collision from happening again. Thank you for reading this.

Train Sounds
Me and two friends were driving over the bridge at Crybaby Hollow just to see what all the hype was about. The first time we went over it, we felt our jeep shaking more than it should of been. We went down the road but decided to turn around and drive over the bridge again. The front windows on both sides were rolled down halfway. Before we could turn the corner to the bridge, we heard the noises of a train coming near us. It got louder by the second as if it was getting closer. When we realized there was no train or train track at that area, we sped off over the bridge and the car shook even more. As soon as we rolled up the windows, the noises instantly stopped. I have driven this bridge before and had strange things happen but nothing quite like this.

Experience
I used to live at the end of cry baby hollow and there's definitely something evil happened there, because as a little girl my parents would take the road home and I would make sure my window was rolled up and door locked and mom always asked why I did it and I would tell her that I don't feel safe on that road unless my window was up and door locked... And after a few years my mom decided to move due to my nightmares.. when I would go to sleep It seemed like I would be standing in a fielded/wooded area to the right not far from the bridge and in front of me would be a cabin, a black metal barrel, and a woman holding a baby.. as they would stand there this evil man would appear out of nowhere and as he reached for the infant he would turn into Satan and I never could stay asleep long enough to find out what might happen next cause I would wake up screaming and crying begging pleading for it not to be real.. I never slept never my bedroom window cause I felt like the devil would come through my window and get me because of the nightmares.. after a few months we finally moved back to my grandma's and i never did have them dreams again.. so something very evil must have happened long ago

Not for the faint of heart.
I am primarily an empath. I also possess claircognizant, clairaudient, and clairvoyant abilities. My husband and I went down this road and over the bridge one night a few weeks ago. Without me knowing, my husband had a digital recorded and a P-SB7 spirit box turned on while going down the hill to this bridge. After we crossed the bridge, I immediately became overwhelmed by emotions. I started crying and I kept repeating “it was a little boy, it was a little boy”. I also immediately felt a woman’s presence. It felt like a very motherly energy. I know the overwhelming emotions I was experiencing were not my own. They were her’s. I could feel her desperation. She was searching for her child. I also felt she was trapped in this location by a very negative male energy. I told my husband that I was getting the years between 1940-1960. Then as we continued down the road, out of nowhere I pointed to the right side of the woods and said there was a cabin in those woods and it holds nothing but evil. Keep in mind that at the time we went down this road neither of us knew anything about that location and it’s history. Then we arrived at a curve that went to the left and up at the top were rail road tracks. I stopped dead in the road and said that I could not go any further and that I felt I needed to turn around and go home. The eerie part was once we got back out to the main road we heard a train horn in the distance. I, without a doubt, know that this poor lost mother’s soul watched over me that night. I felt her presence all the way home. After I got home I kept feeling the overwhelming need to try to see if she would communicate with me audibly through the spirit box. As soon as I turned it on I heard a female voice say “hi!”. It was crystal clear. It sounded as if she was happy that someone could finally hear her. My husband in the meantime was reviewing the audio on the digital recorder from earlier and he heard the word “Jesus” several times. I did all I knew to do to try and help her lost soul find peace. I let her know that she was safe and that she did not have to be trapped in those woods any longer. I told her if she sees a white light to go to it. I then heard a woman’s voice say “heaven” and I never got anymore responses from her after that. It was an insane experience and I definitely do not recommend just anyone going to this location because there is evil energy there as well. I feel that most people go to this place just for a good “spook” and are disrespectful of the location as well as the energies that are there. I can say without a doubt that this place is full of intense residual energy and IS NOT for the faint of heart. If you do decide to check this place out then please be respectful. Do not leave trash lying around. I can tell you that leaving candy bars is just a waste. I didn’t feel any “trapped” young energy there. Just primarily the distraught and desperate mother energy. Still to this day I think about her at least once a day and I pray that by me interacting and talking to her was enough to help her find peace and finally cross over to be with her family.

Nothing happened
It’s scary knowing the ledgend, it’s pitch black so bring a flashlight, it’s pretty scary because it’s over a stream and the bridge has spray paint on it, we even seen a bloody white shirt in the woods next to it. It’s fun.
