Last night, a couple friends and I went to Crybaby Bridge, a local "haunted" spot. It's in a town called Edgefield, everyone's got a different story behind the place, some say in the 1800's, a carriage was going over the bridge and turned over and a mother and daughter fell over the bridge and died, another goes that a mother couldn't afford a baby so she threw it over the side, etc. etc.
Anyway, they say if you're on the bridge and turn off your car, you'll see the girl, or you'll hear a baby crying, etc. etc. Mostly, it's just a spooky place, and on top of that, just before the bridge, there's an old abandoned church.
Anyway, we got to the bridge, which is so far out in the middle of nowhere, just being out there is creepy enough. We stopped and got out, and were there for all of about a minute, until a truck came down the road really fast, so we jumped back in the car. The truck stopped by us and said something, but we were all freaking out a little so we didn't hear what he said, but he just drove off. I don't believe in ghosts, so I was mostly scared of the idea of some crazy person coming across us in the middle of nowhere, so this freaked me out a lot.
Still, we tried to go to the church since we were there and all. But, the road was blocked off with a gate, so we tried walking up to the church, but we only had one very weak flashlight between the three of us (it was a poorly planned trip), and the nightvision function on my video camera, and since the church is about a mile up that trail, which is surrounded by woods, we got mabe halfway there, realized we literally couldn't see a thing, other than a small sliver of moonlight, so we got a little freaked out and left.
Not much of a story, I know, but it was freaky for us and we do plan on going back with some mag lights, or during the day or something.
