The Story
Cry Baby Hollow follows a familiar bridge-story pattern, but local versions disagree about the supposed loss behind it. A child dies in an accident, a flood, or an act of violence, and travelers later hear crying near the crossing. Some drivers also describe their vehicles shaking. The consistent element is the sound attributed to a child at the bridge.
