Indiana is blessed with several cry baby bridges. This particular bridge in Dublin, Indiana has several incidents affiliated with it. There are two stories that go with this location. The first has a woman driving an old pick up truck with her infant daughter on the seat bundled up against the cold rain. She was driving back into town to pick up her husband. He had just arrived in town after WWI. In her excitement to reach him, she drove too fast over the bridge with wooden guard rails. Her tires hit a patch of water and the truck became uncontrollable. She skidded off the bridge and landed in the water. Reaching for her baby, she could not find her. She could hear the child crying as it was being carried off in the current of the raging creek. For years afterward, the woman was seen roaming the bridge and creek area searching and yelling for her baby. The woman, Elizabeth, is buried in the local cemetery with a note on her tomb about her deep mourning.
Another story has it that the woman was taking her child to the doctor in the pouring rain and a car skidded into her sending her and her infant daughter over the railing to plunge into the raging creek. The daughter was lost and never recovered. The other, Elizabeth, searches for her to this day. It has been a common location for teenagers to park and make-out. Many have reported hearing a woman crying; and it is believed that if you drive slowly over the span during the rain, a woman soaked to the bone will appear and beg for help in searching for her daughter. One teenager in the 90's reported taking a Ouija Board to the location and attempted to speak with Elizabeth. The Ouija board flew from the hood of the car into the water. The car refused to start and the two girls fled the area. |
