Cry Baby Bridge/ River Styx Bridge

Hi,
My name is Beth. When I was in high school myself & 2 friends drove out to the Abbeyville Rd. Cry Baby Bridge. We turned around in the Church lot & went & parked under the train trestle, we waited quietly & all of a sudden it sounded like there were 2-3 people scrambling down the hill at our right. I started the car & took off! We were all freaking out! I stopped about 500 ft away to look back & there was nothing, it was quiet. Since then I have wondered if it was a deer or other animal. Maybe some other kids were sitting there waiting to give someone a real scare, I don't know. That was 1992. Saturday August 2, 2008 Myself, my boyfriend & another couple went out there. We parked behind the church in the cemetery & walked back to the train tracks. We followed the tracks to the bridge over the street. Now that is where I thought "Cry Baby Bridge" was. Dave, a member of our group said it wasn't, that we had to cross this trestle & go onto the next which is over a creek & that is where the lady dropped her baby to it's death. We had a camera & a tape recorder. Nothing scary happened to us, the scariest thing was crossing that trestle over the street. When we got to the 2nd bridge/trestle Dave & his girlfriend Jeanine walked out to the middle of that one. I didn't because it had no sides & was pitch black. They said it was really aerie out there & they thought they heard whispers. We left & crossed the trestle again over the street & that was scarier because we had to freeze, 4 cars came & passed under us as we were up on that trestle! So we got back to the car & started to listed to the tape recorder my boyfriend had. We heard a strange bark type sound that we never heard at the time. We also heard a train in the background!!!! The whole time we were out there!!! We never heard that, we would never have crossed those trestles if we had heard that. We were all listening carefully & we all even commented on how quiet it was. We even all noticed this really loud cricket who is on the tape. Here are some pics from that sight.

003 pic 1) Looking down tracks from 1st trestle we crossed. I think that light is a far off intersection.

004 pic 2) Church, taken from on the tracks, there are orbs.

009 pic 3) Off left side of tracks, orbs.

00501 pic 4) Tree on left side of tracks, orbs.

006 pic 5) Trestle over creek, what Dave said was the true Cry Baby Bridge. Nothing I saw.


Next we went onto the River Styx Bridge. Again nothing scary happened. We did hear some guy say something like "hey where is the ball?" But i think it was really a person. We all expected someone to come out of the brush there. No one did & we didn't hear anyone again. We walked through all these tall weeds & went directly under this huge bridge. Dave climbed up higher & we 3 stayed put. I started snapping pics into the pitch blackness. I believe these are significant pics! while Dave was up the hill, we thought he threw a rock to our left. He swears he didn't. I don't know. but here are the last 2 pics.

012-018 pics 6-11 are all orbs at River Styx Bridge.

011 pic 11 is the weirdest thing. You can see the bridge is all rusty, there is nothing reflective. there was no light up there. It was pitch black when I took that pic. What is that?? Notice it is like it's "legs" are right on that girder.

Please do e-mail me back & tell me what you think.
Thank you!
Beth
