Cry Baby Bridge

The Van Sant Covered Bridge in Bucks County, Pennsylvania has a common nickname, people call it “Cry Baby Bridge”.  There are many stories as to how it got this awkward name, notably the notorious murder of a woman and her child, by the husband/father.  The father is said to have been hung for his crimes from the rafters.  People travel afar to visit this particularly haunted bridge, in hopes to gain a taste of the paranormal activities rumored to occur here.  Many have said they can audibly hear a woman crying, in search and mourning the death of her child.  Some say they hear a woman screaming, attributed to her brutal murder.  Others have also stated seeing a physical being hanging by the neck, his eyes fixated on the viewer.  While others have simply said it is just a creepy old bridge in a rural area with no streetlights.  The most proving evidence of paranormal activity at the location is from visitor’s photographs, and video footage.  Many photographs/videos seem to have shadowy figures, resembling humans in them, which are just unexplainable.  I have visited this bridge a few times myself with some friends and, although, have never witnessed anything I would consider paranormal/haunted, I must say it is literally a terrifying place to be in the middle of the night.  Check out some home video footage from the Van Sant Bridge on youtube, it's creepy!!
