Nearby is a small mining town called Rogues Hollow. A young daughter of one of the miners got pregnant and was afraid to let her father find out, so she was able to hide her pregnancy until the birth, at which time she threw the baby off the bridge. Legend says that at midnight you can still hear the baby crying so the bridge was named Crybaby Bridge. It's said that you can also see the young woman on the bridge crying for her baby.
There are many Crybaby Bridge legends all over the U.S. but this is ours. When I was writing freelance, I went there during the day and took photos and also went there at midnight w/an infrared camera, hoping to catch a spirit on film. I also took a video camera and a tape recorder. Nothing ever showed up in audio or video, except mosquitoes. Big ones. After an hour of swatting, I gave up and went home.
