This Oklahoma Legend Will Send Chills Down Your Spine

Some of these legendary stories stem from actual deaths that occurred on bridges. In some cases, a woman jumped from the bridge with her baby, committing suicide. In other stories, the woman threw the baby over the rail, or the woman and her baby were in a car that plunged off the bridge in a horrible accident. No matter what the historic account is, the result is the same...

In some cases, a woman is seen walking across the bridge toward an oncoming car. When the driver stops to see if he can help, she tells him that she's lost her baby...and then she disappears into thin air. The Black Fork River Bridge near Horntubby is said to be haunted by a woman's ghost.

On June 13, 1924, a young mother was crossing this bridge with a horse and buggy when a storm approached. Lightning struck and knocked the baby out of her mother's arms. as the storm raged around her, the woman could hear her baby's cries. She searched the bridge, but couldn't find him in the dark. She slipped and fell off the bridge, into the water below and drowned. The bridge is closed now, but people in the area say that they hear the baby's cries on that night every year.

Many people report seeing a woman dressed all in white holding a baby, who vanishes as they approach. It's said that if you approach the bridge, then turn your lights off, you'll see her. If you dare, park your car and walk across the bridge. Reports of a baby crying are common here.
