Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Crybaby Bridge is a nickname given to some bridges. The name often reflects an urban legend that the sound of a baby can be, or has been, heard from the bridge. Many are also accompanied by an urban legend of a baby or young child/children being killed nearby, or thrown from the bridge into the river or creek below. In 1999, Maryland folklorist Jesse Glass presented a case against several crybaby bridges as being genuine folklore; instead contending that they were fakelore that was knowingly being propagated through the internet. According to Glass, nearly identical stories of crybaby bridges in Maryland and Ohio began to appear online in 1999, but they could not be confirmed through local oral history or the media. Among Glass'' examples was the story of a bridge located in Westminister, Maryland, which concerned the murder of escaped slaves and African American children.
