One of the most common urban legends is the "crybaby bridge". A bridge that is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of a crying baby. Common elements of the story include a horse carriage or a car crashing over the railing and the death of an infant and usually one other parent.These legends are one of the most fascinating views into the oral traditions of modern America. The tales are passed down from generation to generation; usually by bored teenagers looking for something to do on a Saturday night. These often rural bridges have been involved in countless high school dares over the years.
