In this episode of Deep Woods Paranormal, we uncover the chilling legends behind America’s most haunted bridges. From phantom hitchhikers and ghostly children pushing stalled cars, to strange screams echoing beneath old railway bridges, these eerie structures carry more than just traffic—they carry stories of tragedy, mystery, and the supernatural.
Matt shares famous haunted bridge tales, personal investigations, and listener-submitted stories. Are these bridges portals to the other side, or do they simply hold the echoes of the past?
Step carefully, because you never know who—or what—you might meet at the crossing.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Well, hello, my paranormal peeps, and welcome back to another
deeps paranormal podcast. My name is Matt Harvey. I am
the founder and lead investigator with Deep Wits Paranormal. I
am also the host of the Deep Wits Paranormal podcast.
So I am walking on mister machine hat tonight giving
my paranormal hats a night off. Just fy. We are
(00:38):
getting new hats in, new hats, new shirts, all kinds
of cool stuff. So if you haven't checked out our store,
you can go to our Deepwits Paranormal dot com and
check that out. Okay, so let's let's get into this podcast.
I know everybody loves to doesn't want to wait around,
so okay, So tonight we're gonna be talking about bridges
(01:00):
because someone told me bridges connect people, but sometimes they
also connect us to the other side, which had me
scratching my head and going, okay what And so I
started thinking about it, and I'm like, Okay, you know
that kind of makes sense. I've been to a few
haunted bridges, the Suicide Bridge in Pasadena and a few
other famous bridges around the world, and so, you know,
(01:25):
then I started thinking about it. I'm like Okay. You know,
we've been to a few bridges here in Texas too
that they're supposed to be very famous, like the goat
Man's Bridge here in Texas. There's also what's called the
cry Baby Bridge, and that's in multiple states, and we'll
go into these in the second Here there's the Seven
Gates of Hell that's in Illinois, Hell's Bridge and that's
(01:49):
in Michigan, and then Clinton Road Bridge, which is in
New Jersey. So what we'll do is we'll get into
this and we'll start talking about why bridges try paranormal stories.
You know, they're the sites of accidents and suicides. They're
very approximate to water, which usually is just is tied
(02:10):
to paranormal activity. Water is said to give off energy
and then also isolated rule settings that just make them spookier,
you know. Butches are also linear spaces, uh so places
between worlds if you will. Uh. And then there's recurring
legends like the cry Baby, the phantom hitchhiker. You know,
(02:34):
if you drive over the bridge, the hayhiker gets in
with you as you're driving across and then disappears when
you get to the side. There's a lot of folklore
or evidence of real paranormal phenomenon with these bridges. So, uh,
if you if you've investigated a bridge that is haunted,
(02:54):
like the Texas one here, uh, the goat Man's Bridge,
Well let us know down below, leave a comment tell
us what you experienced. Did you actually have any kind
of a paranormal experience? Did you just feel something? Did
you see something? Did you hear something. There's a lot
of haunted bridges all around the world, not just in
(03:17):
the United States, and I know we have an audience
that is spans you know, the whole world, which is amazing.
So we love to hear you know what you guys
have experienced. So also, what gear did you guys bring
when you went out to the haunted bridge? What did
(03:37):
you experience? Did you bring a spirit box, a thermal,
a K two Jerome, what did you bring went to
you to investigate? I know when we went to Goatman's Bridge,
somebody brought trail cams and set them every five or
six feet on both sides of the bridge and then
basically waited to see if and then was on the
(03:59):
other side we died to see if they would snap off.
And I guess a couple of them actually did, and
she was too far away from it to actually set
it off, so that was pretty cool. So yeah, like
I said, if you guys have a haunted bridge story
or anything like that, please please calment down below or
message us. We'd love to hear about it. We'll probably
(04:22):
also run a pole down below as well, which is scarier.
Goat Man's Bridgeberds, pry Baby Bridge, excuse me our Hell's Bridge?
And have you guys investigated any have you ever investigated
or visited any of these places? All right, so let's
get back into these bridges. Okay. So we got the
(04:42):
goat Man Bridge, We've got the Crybaby Bridge, We've got
the Seven Gates of Hell sounds fun. And then we've
got the urban legends of Hell's Bridge in Michigan. And
then you've got Flinton Road, which has a bridge, and
that's in New Jersey. So let's kind of break down
(05:02):
these bridges and talk a little bit more about them
and talk about what makes them supposedly haunted. Okay, all right,
so let's start with goat Man's Bridge, and I'll call
it and read you a little bit of this story.
I'm gonna kind of change it a little bit because
I don't want to essentially get in trouble for copyright
(05:24):
or anything. But all right, so goat Man's Bridge. It
says that a local chapter of the KKK essentially went
out to the Washburn's home. They kidnapped him and they
actually hung him and over the side of the Alton
Old Alton Bridge, and now he basically haunts this bridge.
(05:50):
I've been out here. I know there's a lot of
people that practice like witchcraft out here. They do demonic rituals.
It's also known for bigfoots. One of the people I
was talking to, hey man, Yeah, I just saw a
bigfoot down below the bridge, so I just had to
throw bigfoot in there. But we were there for a
(06:12):
good i don't know, twenty thirty minutes, and not very
much happened. We were doing EVP sessions and it's quiet.
It's really quiet out there until the coyotes start going
crazy and then you can hear bigfoot screams also in
the background, which is crazy. So on top of the bridge,
(06:33):
it's not said to be so much haunted. People report
footsteps and seeing a shadowy figure. Supposedly, he still haunts
the bridge because he's mad about what happened to him.
He appears more like a goat than a human and
the reason behind that is he was a goat farmer
(06:54):
and supposedly people didn't like him. Now, if you know
a bit more about this story again, feel free to
comment down below. Would love to hear what you have
heard about this bridge. Maybe you've investigated this bridge, you know,
did you experience anything put you know? Please comment down
below let us know you know what what you experienced
when we went out there. Unfortunately, we did not have
(07:16):
the ghost box at this point in time, so essentially
we just had spirit box. We did some e VP
work and we basically used some K twos to essentially,
you know, e VP is just electronic voice phenomenon where
we record audio and listen back to it to see
(07:37):
if there's anything you couldn't hear, but you know that
was below your your hearing. There's a theory that ghosts
maybe on a higher level of our hearing or above
what we can hear, or they're below what we can hear,
and so the audio recorders record all of that because
humans only have a spectrum of of a certain amount
(08:02):
of decibels that we can hear from you very low
to very high. Anyways, I don't want to get into that.
It's really technical. So K two meter we were using these.
We had about seven or eight of them. I think
we laid some of them out onto the bridge and
asked if anything really wanted to communicate with us, and
(08:23):
then people were telling us, well, you've got to go
under the bridge if you want to go talk to
the demonic entities. And I'm like, that's not what we want.
We're not here to communicate with the demonic entities. But
we were there. We were there for about two hours.
I don't know if it's legal for you to be
out there, and I know the bridge is not in
use anymore. I think you can walk across it, but
(08:44):
I don't know if the other side of the bridge
is if you're legally allowed to be on the other side.
So anyways, we stayed on the one side. We did
not trespass. We made sure everything went well, but we
didn't really get anything. We didn't really have any activity.
And I've heard a mixed bag about this place. Maybe
(09:05):
it just could have been the night, but the paranormal activity,
especially ghosts, you have about a fifty to fifty chance
of actually actually encountering something. Sometimes when you go out there,
there's just no activity. I mean, you can go into
the most haunted location ever and you just don't get
any You don't hear anything, you don't see anything, you
(09:27):
don't experience anything. You don't get any audio, any video, anything,
Nothing happens, no K two, it's no nothing on your
speaker box that essentially is legible or something. You know,
maybe it's just dead altogether. Part in the pun. But yeah,
this this place for us that night was very quiet.
(09:47):
There was a lot going on, very little activity. And
even when we're down below there just wasn't anything. The
bridge is pretty rickety still and but we didn't anything,
didn't hear anything, didn't really experience anything. Like I said before,
you know, let us know what you've experienced. All right,
let's move on to the cry Baby bridges, because there's
(10:09):
not just one of these, there's multiples and Cryberry cry
Baby Bridge refers to numerous bridges across the United States,
usually associated with urban legends and ghost stories, and it
includes the sounds of a baby crying good good jobs.
(10:30):
I was banks our cat. He has a weird scream.
So they usually involve tragic backstories of accidents or other
sorrowful events and that happened on or around bridges, and
(10:51):
it basically relates to babies or young children were there
with the mother and the baby threw them off a bridge,
and then the mom, you know, basically killed herself after
that because she was so sad. And now essentially she's
out there looking for her baby because she's screwed up. So,
(11:15):
like I said, there's lots of different bridges like this.
I don't think I've ever been to a cry baby bridge,
but it's a pretty interesting idea. Let's see this one's
talks about the Sleepy Hollow Road near the border between
Jefferson and Old Home, Old Home and Kentucky, and it
(11:35):
says it was known as a Cyberry cry baby bridge.
Hold on, let me get a drink because I can't
talk tonight. All right there, all right, So supposedly mothers
would would drop their unwanted child who was sick or
deformed off the bridge to drowned in the water. That's terrible.
(11:59):
And then I guess crying and still be heard to
this day. It's been reported the bridge has been replaced
by new one and there's still activity. But this bridge
looks like an old rickety bridge. If you're watching the
YouTube channel, you can kind of see it. I'll blow
it up here. This is what's left of this bridge.
(12:22):
Looks like they've blocked it off. It looks like it's
out in the wilderness. Probably isn't used ever, but it's
basically just got a creek under it. This one's in Maryland.
See it says your travel guide to Maryland's local Legends
and best Kept Secrets. Blah blah blah blah. Okay, so
(12:47):
let's see crybaby bridge experiences in Maryland locations. Okay, so
the Governor's Bridge Road, one on Latsford Vista Road, and
an unspecific unsatsified road in Latsford Via Road as well. Wow,
(13:10):
so they mentioned Satanic churches, which is terrible. Uh see
just reading through these guys, bear with me. Here's one
in uh Lukefn, Texas. That's interesting Jack Creek. It's been
known to be a cryberry bee because a woman and
(13:33):
a baby died when they're auto veered off the wooden bridge.
I've heard of this one and veered into the steep creek.
Very interesting, and that sawyer of luke Vian said the
visitor said. Visitors who come to the site at night
claim that they've heard the sounds of resembling a baby crying.
(13:55):
One visitor supposedly found an imprint of a baby's hand
on her audio a window from returning. Okay, that's interesting.
So here's another one for nutges. This is in Texas
as well. There's a bridge which with which a baby
of the same name was thrown into the alligator infested
(14:18):
water by a man who murdered the child's mother. Oh
my gosh. She can be heard crying from the water
when one stands on the bridge on hot summer nights.
Oh okay, so the mom is a headless ghost wandering
the woods nearby can also be heard whispering Sarah Jane.
(14:40):
She searches the forest with lantern. Wow. I'm getting chills
as I say and talk about this. All right, So
here's Maryland. The Jesse Glass presented a case against several
criby ridges being genuine for doing that. They were instead
(15:02):
folklore and that was known being propaganda through the internet. Okay,
So I mean you got to take this with a
grain of salt. Some of these bridges may not be
I mean, there's a lot of old rumors that basically
circulate and as we know, they get turned into folklore
and then you know, one thing leads another. Okay, so
(15:24):
let's look at the Seven Gates of Hell. So the
Seven Gates of Hell is a modern urban legend regarding
locations in New York, Pennsylvanian Pennsylvania, New York County, Pennsylvania.
Excuse me, I guess there's two versions of the legend exist,
one involving a burned insane asylum and the other eccentric
(15:46):
doctor both agree that. Let's say both agree that there
were seven gates in a wooded area of Pennsylvania and
that anyone who passes through that all the seven gates
goes straight to Hell. Wow, this is crazy. Location in
question never houses, never housed an institution, while the doctor
(16:11):
of the legend only constructed one gate to keep out trespassers.
The property is privately owned and visitors may charge with
thrust passing. Okay, so let's look at the myth here. Okay,
so there's two popular visions of the myth with multiple variations.
The mental institution that Easy used to be located in
(16:35):
Helim Township in Pennsylvania. Depending on the source, it was
erected in a remote location as to isolate people deemed
insane from the rest of the world. It says one
day in the nineteen hundred's a fire broke out and
they could not reach the hospital in time to save
its due to its remoteness. It says, many patients died
(16:58):
in flames, while others escaped and we're soon beaten to death. Geez. So,
according to this version, the gates are put up by
the local search party to trap the remaining inmates, so
they're treating them like prisoners. So second version states that
(17:22):
the physician lived on the property and built several gates
along the path in the forest. Both accounts agree that
the one gate is visible during the day, but the
other six can only be seen at night. According to legend,
known has passed the past the fifth gate, but if
they pass all seven, they will go to direct directly
to Hell. Okay, so it sounds like this one has
(17:47):
a little bridge that goes over it. Let's look at
this picture here. So it's gates and gates all the
way around this property, and there must be some kind
of bridge. Oh yeah, here's the bridge. So the river
across and there's a bridge there and I guess you
have to go across the bridge to get to where
this place burned down. And it seems like it basically
(18:10):
was just you know, a bunch of people unfortunately burned
to death. And if you've ever been insane asylum, you
know people are just not in the right minds and
be very basically tortured like that to death and burned
to death. I had to make it much much worse.
(18:31):
They essentially, you know, I already pretty much lost their
minds if they were mentally ill, and you know, I mean,
their souls must just be completely and utterly just tormented
at this point, if this really happened. And again, you
guys got to take this with the greatest saults. I mean,
(18:51):
like I said, have you ever been to the Southern
Gates of Hell? Again? Calming down below, let us know
what you know, what have you heard? You know, what
do you know about this place? If you know anything,
calming down below, let us know. And then let's go
over here. Okay, so let's go into Michigan's urban legends
of Hell's Bridge. Bear with me one second, and you
get another drink, all right, So in this picture you
(19:18):
see just a little rickety old bridge probably been here
for a long long time. It looks like the part
of a tree is growing up over the part you
start to walk on and it goes across this little creek,
pretty white little creek. And it says, northeast of Rockford
is this rickety old metal footbridge crosses the Rogue River
(19:40):
and has been dubbed as Hell's Bridge. The urban legend
says that this is a spot where man killed several children.
Don't do that, binks no, no, And you can hear
their screams at night and see their faces in the
water through the flowing river. So it says they've heard
(20:02):
many very different blah, I can't read with him there.
They've heard many different variations of a legend. But internets.
But as a story goes eighteen hundreds, okay, okay, let
me go on. So I guess they've read very many
different variations. Sorry the cows in the way of me reading.
(20:24):
But as the story goes in eighteen hundreds of man
by the name of I'm not going to give his
name out. You guys cann look this up if you want.
He lived near the river, and he either kidnapped children
or was asked to watch a group of children, and
then he took them down to the river where the
metal bridge crosses it. They say he summoned a demon
(20:44):
to murder them, his children. Oh my god. So it
says that he either burned their bodies under the let's
see under under leaves near the river or threw them
into the river to be carried down stream. Uh So, basically,
(21:06):
when the townspeople of Roxford began looking for the children,
they found bodies covered in blood and hanged him from
a bridge over the Rogue River. Okay, so he basically
supposedly killed a bunch of kids and then they found
out and they basically took and hung him over that
(21:27):
same river. So basically, you know, if this is true,
if it's not just an urban legend, then again, I mean,
these kids died way too young. You know, their lives
are taking way too young, and uh, you know, to
be murdered is about, you know, just one of those
(21:48):
things where you're probably gonna stick around because you're you
still have unfinished business. And so these kids are probably
just looking for you know, looking for closure. I can
imagine they're still haunting this bridge or haunting the area
around there. We've We've been in a lot of places
where kids have been murdered. If you go back to
(22:11):
San Juan Capistrano where the lady and White basically drowned
her kids in the river, she's not only seen in
uh San Juan Capistrano off of is that street, I
don't remember the street now by the mission, but she's
also seen up in Black Star Canyon looking for her
(22:32):
kids and crying and stuff like that. Beat that. I
was talking to somebody about that the other day, talking
about bridges. There's a few bridges that go over the
little creeks up in black Starkane, and she usually hovers
over over the over the river at night. You can
(22:53):
just see her in in a white bubble and she
floats over the river. It's crazy. It's the craziest thing
I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of crazy things.
But also, yeah, she is also seeing a white wedding gown.
And she's basically very she is very drawn to kids.
She's very protective of kids. So all right, so let's
(23:17):
get back into this. Let's see so this thinks this
person thinks it's a fictional person, and the story was
created to keep the local teenagers out of the forests
at night. But they can't tell for sure. All right,
So you guys can go back and read this if
you want. I think there's a book on this, all right,
(23:38):
So let's move on to the last one, Clinton's Road. So.
Clinton's Road is located in West Milford, Passic County, New Jersey.
Excuse me if I'm mispronouncing these in the United States.
It runs in a generally north the south direction, beginning
at Route twenty three. Blah blah blah. Okay is The
(24:00):
road and the land around it have gained notoriety over
the years as as an area rife with many urban
legends of paranormal activity and sightings of grace of ghosts,
strange creatures and gatherers of witches, satanics, uh and the
(24:21):
ku Klux Klan. There's also a rumor that professional killers
disposed of their bodies in the surrounding woods, with one
recorded case uh occurring has been regular regular subject to
discussion and the Weird NJ Magazine, New Jersey Magazine. Okay, uh.
(24:47):
So I'm not going to get too much into this, guys,
because again, I don't want to get into copyright issues,
and also I don't want to get to involved with
talking about those negative things because we do have a
younger audience that sometimes listens in. Okay, so it says
there are a few homes along the road, and much
(25:08):
of the adjoining property is developed publicly owned woodlands. The
road itself is a narrow, two lane highway that reveals, sorry,
receive so little maintenance is not part of Jersey's county route.
Let's see, let's see. Okay, so that's about it. But yeah,
(25:30):
so I mean again you go back into murders. All
of these things seem to have a very similar, you know,
theme to them. A lot of them seem to be
you know, people murdered or people violently dialing dying. Anytime
you have anybody violently dying like this, essentially you're gonna
(25:53):
you're gonna let me get let me stop sharing this. Okay. So,
anytime you have people violently dying, dying like this, you're
going to end up with people essentially haunting a location.
It's just gonna happen. And you know, with the goat
(26:14):
Man's Bridge, I mean, he was violently supposedly his family
was also killed. They came and killed everybody, they tortured
to his family first and then killed him and so,
and then the Crybaby Kyle death. I cannot talk tonight
a whole one second, sorry about that. And then also
(26:36):
the cry Baby Bridge. I mean, imagine the mom taking
her kid and doing that to him and then essentially,
you know, realizing what she'd done and ultimately regretting it,
and then because she was so sad, taking her own life.
Seven Gates of Hell. I mean, again, we're talking about
(26:58):
people being murdered and essentially, you know, bad things happening.
You know, a lot of these places are murdered. You're
talking about murder if it's real, and uh, stuff like that.
So these violent deaths do usually lead to hauntings. I mean,
if you look at almost any haunted location, they've had
(27:21):
either a violent death, an accidental death, or some kind
of you know, something that leads to someone or someone
basically having unfinished business. And so the more we look
at these locations, it's just it's just they they follow
they follow a pattern and stuff like that. So anyways, guys,
(27:48):
if you guys have ever been to the Haunted Bridges,
you know, the experienced some that tragic history, you know,
any of the folklore or the paranormal activity on goat
Man's Bridge, cry Baby's Bridge, Hell's Bridgeton's Road, or any

Well, hello, my paranormal peeps, and welcome back to another
deeps paranormal podcast. My name is Matt Harvey. I am
the founder and lead investigator with Deep Wits Paranormal. I
am also the host of the Deep Wits Paranormal podcast.
So I am walking on mister machine hat tonight giving
my paranormal hats a night off. Just fy. We are
(00:38):
getting new hats in, new hats, new shirts, all kinds
of cool stuff. So if you haven't checked out our store,
you can go to our Deepwits Paranormal dot com and
check that out. Okay, so let's let's get into this podcast.
I know everybody loves to doesn't want to wait around,
so okay, So tonight we're gonna be talking about bridges
(01:00):
because someone told me bridges connect people, but sometimes they
also connect us to the other side, which had me
scratching my head and going, okay what And so I
started thinking about it, and I'm like, Okay, you know
that kind of makes sense. I've been to a few
haunted bridges, the Suicide Bridge in Pasadena and a few
other famous bridges around the world, and so, you know,
(01:25):
then I started thinking about it. I'm like Okay. You know,
we've been to a few bridges here in Texas too
that they're supposed to be very famous, like the goat
Man's Bridge here in Texas. There's also what's called the
cry Baby Bridge, and that's in multiple states, and we'll
go into these in the second Here there's the Seven
Gates of Hell that's in Illinois, Hell's Bridge and that's
(01:49):
in Michigan, and then Clinton Road Bridge, which is in
New Jersey. So what we'll do is we'll get into
this and we'll start talking about why bridges try paranormal stories.
You know, they're the sites of accidents and suicides. They're
very approximate to water, which usually is just is tied
(02:10):
to paranormal activity. Water is said to give off energy
and then also isolated rule settings that just make them spookier,
you know. Butches are also linear spaces, uh so places
between worlds if you will. Uh. And then there's recurring
legends like the cry Baby, the phantom hitchhiker. You know,
(02:34):
if you drive over the bridge, the hayhiker gets in
with you as you're driving across and then disappears when
you get to the side. There's a lot of folklore
or evidence of real paranormal phenomenon with these bridges. So, uh,
if you if you've investigated a bridge that is haunted,
(02:54):
like the Texas one here, uh, the goat Man's Bridge,
Well let us know down below, leave a comment tell
us what you experienced. Did you actually have any kind
of a paranormal experience? Did you just feel something? Did
you see something? Did you hear something. There's a lot
of haunted bridges all around the world, not just in
(03:17):
the United States, and I know we have an audience
that is spans you know, the whole world, which is amazing.
So we love to hear you know what you guys
have experienced. So also, what gear did you guys bring
when you went out to the haunted bridge? What did
(03:37):
you experience? Did you bring a spirit box, a thermal,
a K two Jerome, what did you bring went to
you to investigate? I know when we went to Goatman's Bridge,
somebody brought trail cams and set them every five or
six feet on both sides of the bridge and then
basically waited to see if and then was on the
(03:59):
other side we died to see if they would snap off.
And I guess a couple of them actually did, and
she was too far away from it to actually set
it off, so that was pretty cool. So yeah, like
I said, if you guys have a haunted bridge story
or anything like that, please please calment down below or
message us. We'd love to hear about it. We'll probably
(04:22):
also run a pole down below as well, which is scarier.
Goat Man's Bridgeberds, pry Baby Bridge, excuse me our Hell's Bridge?
And have you guys investigated any have you ever investigated
or visited any of these places? All right, so let's
get back into these bridges. Okay. So we got the
(04:42):
goat Man Bridge, We've got the Crybaby Bridge, We've got
the Seven Gates of Hell sounds fun. And then we've
got the urban legends of Hell's Bridge in Michigan. And
then you've got Flinton Road, which has a bridge, and
that's in New Jersey. So let's kind of break down
(05:02):
these bridges and talk a little bit more about them
and talk about what makes them supposedly haunted. Okay, all right,
so let's start with goat Man's Bridge, and I'll call
it and read you a little bit of this story.
I'm gonna kind of change it a little bit because
I don't want to essentially get in trouble for copyright
(05:24):
or anything. But all right, so goat Man's Bridge. It
says that a local chapter of the KKK essentially went
out to the Washburn's home. They kidnapped him and they
actually hung him and over the side of the Alton
Old Alton Bridge, and now he basically haunts this bridge.
(05:50):
I've been out here. I know there's a lot of
people that practice like witchcraft out here. They do demonic rituals.
It's also known for bigfoots. One of the people I
was talking to, hey man, Yeah, I just saw a
bigfoot down below the bridge, so I just had to
throw bigfoot in there. But we were there for a
(06:12):
good i don't know, twenty thirty minutes, and not very
much happened. We were doing EVP sessions and it's quiet.
It's really quiet out there until the coyotes start going
crazy and then you can hear bigfoot screams also in
the background, which is crazy. So on top of the bridge,
(06:33):
it's not said to be so much haunted. People report
footsteps and seeing a shadowy figure. Supposedly, he still haunts
the bridge because he's mad about what happened to him.
He appears more like a goat than a human and
the reason behind that is he was a goat farmer
(06:54):
and supposedly people didn't like him. Now, if you know
a bit more about this story again, feel free to
comment down below. Would love to hear what you have
heard about this bridge. Maybe you've investigated this bridge, you know,
did you experience anything put you know? Please comment down
below let us know you know what what you experienced
when we went out there. Unfortunately, we did not have
(07:16):
the ghost box at this point in time, so essentially
we just had spirit box. We did some e VP
work and we basically used some K twos to essentially,
you know, e VP is just electronic voice phenomenon where
we record audio and listen back to it to see
(07:37):
if there's anything you couldn't hear, but you know that
was below your your hearing. There's a theory that ghosts
maybe on a higher level of our hearing or above
what we can hear, or they're below what we can hear,
and so the audio recorders record all of that because
humans only have a spectrum of of a certain amount
(08:02):
of decibels that we can hear from you very low
to very high. Anyways, I don't want to get into that.
It's really technical. So K two meter we were using these.
We had about seven or eight of them. I think
we laid some of them out onto the bridge and
asked if anything really wanted to communicate with us, and
(08:23):
then people were telling us, well, you've got to go
under the bridge if you want to go talk to
the demonic entities. And I'm like, that's not what we want.
We're not here to communicate with the demonic entities. But
we were there. We were there for about two hours.
I don't know if it's legal for you to be
out there, and I know the bridge is not in
use anymore. I think you can walk across it, but
(08:44):
I don't know if the other side of the bridge
is if you're legally allowed to be on the other side.
So anyways, we stayed on the one side. We did
not trespass. We made sure everything went well, but we
didn't really get anything. We didn't really have any activity.
And I've heard a mixed bag about this place. Maybe
(09:05):
it just could have been the night, but the paranormal activity,
especially ghosts, you have about a fifty to fifty chance
of actually actually encountering something. Sometimes when you go out there,
there's just no activity. I mean, you can go into
the most haunted location ever and you just don't get
any You don't hear anything, you don't see anything, you
(09:27):
don't experience anything. You don't get any audio, any video, anything,
Nothing happens, no K two, it's no nothing on your
speaker box that essentially is legible or something. You know,
maybe it's just dead altogether. Part in the pun. But yeah,
this this place for us that night was very quiet.
(09:47):
There was a lot going on, very little activity. And
even when we're down below there just wasn't anything. The
bridge is pretty rickety still and but we didn't anything,
didn't hear anything, didn't really experience anything. Like I said before,
you know, let us know what you've experienced. All right,
let's move on to the cry Baby bridges, because there's
(10:09):
not just one of these, there's multiples and Cryberry cry
Baby Bridge refers to numerous bridges across the United States,
usually associated with urban legends and ghost stories, and it
includes the sounds of a baby crying good good jobs.
(10:30):
I was banks our cat. He has a weird scream.
So they usually involve tragic backstories of accidents or other
sorrowful events and that happened on or around bridges, and
(10:51):
it basically relates to babies or young children were there
with the mother and the baby threw them off a bridge,
and then the mom, you know, basically killed herself after
that because she was so sad. And now essentially she's
out there looking for her baby because she's screwed up. So,
(11:15):
like I said, there's lots of different bridges like this.
I don't think I've ever been to a cry baby bridge,
but it's a pretty interesting idea. Let's see this one's
talks about the Sleepy Hollow Road near the border between
Jefferson and Old Home, Old Home and Kentucky, and it
(11:35):
says it was known as a Cyberry cry baby bridge.
Hold on, let me get a drink because I can't
talk tonight. All right there, all right, So supposedly mothers
would would drop their unwanted child who was sick or
deformed off the bridge to drowned in the water. That's terrible.
(11:59):
And then I guess crying and still be heard to
this day. It's been reported the bridge has been replaced
by new one and there's still activity. But this bridge
looks like an old rickety bridge. If you're watching the
YouTube channel, you can kind of see it. I'll blow
it up here. This is what's left of this bridge.
(12:22):
Looks like they've blocked it off. It looks like it's
out in the wilderness. Probably isn't used ever, but it's
basically just got a creek under it. This one's in Maryland.
See it says your travel guide to Maryland's local Legends
and best Kept Secrets. Blah blah blah blah. Okay, so
(12:47):
let's see crybaby bridge experiences in Maryland locations. Okay, so
the Governor's Bridge Road, one on Latsford Vista Road, and
an unspecific unsatsified road in Latsford Via Road as well. Wow,
(13:10):
so they mentioned Satanic churches, which is terrible. Uh see
just reading through these guys, bear with me. Here's one
in uh Lukefn, Texas. That's interesting Jack Creek. It's been
known to be a cryberry bee because a woman and
(13:33):
a baby died when they're auto veered off the wooden bridge.
I've heard of this one and veered into the steep creek.
Very interesting, and that sawyer of luke Vian said the
visitor said. Visitors who come to the site at night
claim that they've heard the sounds of resembling a baby crying.
(13:55):
One visitor supposedly found an imprint of a baby's hand
on her audio a window from returning. Okay, that's interesting.
So here's another one for nutges. This is in Texas
as well. There's a bridge which with which a baby
of the same name was thrown into the alligator infested
(14:18):
water by a man who murdered the child's mother. Oh
my gosh. She can be heard crying from the water
when one stands on the bridge on hot summer nights.
Oh okay, so the mom is a headless ghost wandering
the woods nearby can also be heard whispering Sarah Jane.
(14:40):
She searches the forest with lantern. Wow. I'm getting chills
as I say and talk about this. All right, So
here's Maryland. The Jesse Glass presented a case against several
criby ridges being genuine for doing that. They were instead
(15:02):
folklore and that was known being propaganda through the internet. Okay,
So I mean you got to take this with a
grain of salt. Some of these bridges may not be
I mean, there's a lot of old rumors that basically
circulate and as we know, they get turned into folklore
and then you know, one thing leads another. Okay, so
(15:24):
let's look at the Seven Gates of Hell. So the
Seven Gates of Hell is a modern urban legend regarding
locations in New York, Pennsylvanian Pennsylvania, New York County, Pennsylvania.
Excuse me, I guess there's two versions of the legend exist,
one involving a burned insane asylum and the other eccentric
(15:46):
doctor both agree that. Let's say both agree that there
were seven gates in a wooded area of Pennsylvania and
that anyone who passes through that all the seven gates
goes straight to Hell. Wow, this is crazy. Location in
question never houses, never housed an institution, while the doctor
(16:11):
of the legend only constructed one gate to keep out trespassers.
The property is privately owned and visitors may charge with
thrust passing. Okay, so let's look at the myth here. Okay,
so there's two popular visions of the myth with multiple variations.
The mental institution that Easy used to be located in
(16:35):
Helim Township in Pennsylvania. Depending on the source, it was
erected in a remote location as to isolate people deemed
insane from the rest of the world. It says one
day in the nineteen hundred's a fire broke out and
they could not reach the hospital in time to save
its due to its remoteness. It says, many patients died
(16:58):
in flames, while others escaped and we're soon beaten to death. Geez. So,
according to this version, the gates are put up by
the local search party to trap the remaining inmates, so
they're treating them like prisoners. So second version states that
(17:22):
the physician lived on the property and built several gates
along the path in the forest. Both accounts agree that
the one gate is visible during the day, but the
other six can only be seen at night. According to legend,
known has passed the past the fifth gate, but if
they pass all seven, they will go to direct directly
to Hell. Okay, so it sounds like this one has
(17:47):
a little bridge that goes over it. Let's look at
this picture here. So it's gates and gates all the
way around this property, and there must be some kind
of bridge. Oh yeah, here's the bridge. So the river
across and there's a bridge there and I guess you
have to go across the bridge to get to where
this place burned down. And it seems like it basically
(18:10):
was just you know, a bunch of people unfortunately burned
to death. And if you've ever been insane asylum, you
know people are just not in the right minds and
be very basically tortured like that to death and burned
to death. I had to make it much much worse.
(18:31):
They essentially, you know, I already pretty much lost their
minds if they were mentally ill, and you know, I mean,
their souls must just be completely and utterly just tormented
at this point, if this really happened. And again, you
guys got to take this with the greatest saults. I mean,
(18:51):
like I said, have you ever been to the Southern
Gates of Hell? Again? Calming down below, let us know
what you know, what have you heard? You know, what
do you know about this place? If you know anything,
calming down below, let us know. And then let's go
over here. Okay, so let's go into Michigan's urban legends
of Hell's Bridge. Bear with me one second, and you
get another drink, all right, So in this picture you
(19:18):
see just a little rickety old bridge probably been here
for a long long time. It looks like the part
of a tree is growing up over the part you
start to walk on and it goes across this little creek,
pretty white little creek. And it says, northeast of Rockford
is this rickety old metal footbridge crosses the Rogue River
(19:40):
and has been dubbed as Hell's Bridge. The urban legend
says that this is a spot where man killed several children.
Don't do that, binks no, no, And you can hear
their screams at night and see their faces in the
water through the flowing river. So it says they've heard
(20:02):
many very different blah, I can't read with him there.
They've heard many different variations of a legend. But internets.
But as a story goes eighteen hundreds, okay, okay, let
me go on. So I guess they've read very many
different variations. Sorry the cows in the way of me reading.
(20:24):
But as the story goes in eighteen hundreds of man
by the name of I'm not going to give his
name out. You guys cann look this up if you want.
He lived near the river, and he either kidnapped children
or was asked to watch a group of children, and
then he took them down to the river where the
metal bridge crosses it. They say he summoned a demon
(20:44):
to murder them, his children. Oh my god. So it
says that he either burned their bodies under the let's
see under under leaves near the river or threw them
into the river to be carried down stream. Uh So, basically,
(21:06):
when the townspeople of Roxford began looking for the children,
they found bodies covered in blood and hanged him from
a bridge over the Rogue River. Okay, so he basically
supposedly killed a bunch of kids and then they found
out and they basically took and hung him over that
(21:27):
same river. So basically, you know, if this is true,
if it's not just an urban legend, then again, I mean,
these kids died way too young. You know, their lives
are taking way too young, and uh, you know, to
be murdered is about, you know, just one of those
(21:48):
things where you're probably gonna stick around because you're you
still have unfinished business. And so these kids are probably
just looking for you know, looking for closure. I can
imagine they're still haunting this bridge or haunting the area
around there. We've We've been in a lot of places
where kids have been murdered. If you go back to
(22:11):
San Juan Capistrano where the lady and White basically drowned
her kids in the river, she's not only seen in
uh San Juan Capistrano off of is that street, I
don't remember the street now by the mission, but she's
also seen up in Black Star Canyon looking for her
(22:32):
kids and crying and stuff like that. Beat that. I
was talking to somebody about that the other day, talking
about bridges. There's a few bridges that go over the
little creeks up in black Starkane, and she usually hovers
over over the over the river at night. You can
(22:53):
just see her in in a white bubble and she
floats over the river. It's crazy. It's the craziest thing
I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of crazy things.
But also, yeah, she is also seeing a white wedding gown.
And she's basically very she is very drawn to kids.
She's very protective of kids. So all right, so let's
(23:17):
get back into this. Let's see so this thinks this
person thinks it's a fictional person, and the story was
created to keep the local teenagers out of the forests
at night. But they can't tell for sure. All right,
So you guys can go back and read this if
you want. I think there's a book on this, all right,
(23:38):
So let's move on to the last one, Clinton's Road. So.
Clinton's Road is located in West Milford, Passic County, New Jersey.
Excuse me if I'm mispronouncing these in the United States.
It runs in a generally north the south direction, beginning
at Route twenty three. Blah blah blah. Okay is The
(24:00):
road and the land around it have gained notoriety over
the years as as an area rife with many urban
legends of paranormal activity and sightings of grace of ghosts,
strange creatures and gatherers of witches, satanics, uh and the
(24:21):
ku Klux Klan. There's also a rumor that professional killers
disposed of their bodies in the surrounding woods, with one
recorded case uh occurring has been regular regular subject to
discussion and the Weird NJ Magazine, New Jersey Magazine. Okay, uh.
(24:47):
So I'm not going to get too much into this, guys,
because again, I don't want to get into copyright issues,
and also I don't want to get to involved with
talking about those negative things because we do have a
younger audience that sometimes listens in. Okay, so it says
there are a few homes along the road, and much
(25:08):
of the adjoining property is developed publicly owned woodlands. The
road itself is a narrow, two lane highway that reveals, sorry,
receive so little maintenance is not part of Jersey's county route.
Let's see, let's see. Okay, so that's about it. But yeah,
(25:30):
so I mean again you go back into murders. All
of these things seem to have a very similar, you know,
theme to them. A lot of them seem to be
you know, people murdered or people violently dialing dying. Anytime
you have anybody violently dying like this, essentially you're gonna
(25:53):
you're gonna let me get let me stop sharing this. Okay. So,
anytime you have people violently dying, dying like this, you're
going to end up with people essentially haunting a location.
It's just gonna happen. And you know, with the goat
(26:14):
Man's Bridge, I mean, he was violently supposedly his family
was also killed. They came and killed everybody, they tortured
to his family first and then killed him and so,
and then the Crybaby Kyle death. I cannot talk tonight
a whole one second, sorry about that. And then also
(26:36):
the cry Baby Bridge. I mean, imagine the mom taking
her kid and doing that to him and then essentially,
you know, realizing what she'd done and ultimately regretting it,
and then because she was so sad, taking her own life.
Seven Gates of Hell. I mean, again, we're talking about
(26:58):
people being murdered and essentially, you know, bad things happening.
You know, a lot of these places are murdered. You're
talking about murder if it's real, and uh, stuff like that.
So these violent deaths do usually lead to hauntings. I mean,
if you look at almost any haunted location, they've had
(27:21):
either a violent death, an accidental death, or some kind
of you know, something that leads to someone or someone
basically having unfinished business. And so the more we look
at these locations, it's just it's just they they follow
they follow a pattern and stuff like that. So anyways, guys,
(27:48):
if you guys have ever been to the Haunted Bridges,
you know, the experienced some that tragic history, you know,
any of the folklore or the paranormal activity on goat
Man's Bridge, cry Baby's Bridge, Hell's Bridgeton's Road, or any
