Crazy Annie’s Bridge


In the heart of rural Minnesota, nestled among rolling hills and whispering cornfields, lies a seemingly ordinary bridge on 270th Street near Henderson. Yet, shrouded in whispers and shadowed by history, this unassuming span takes on a different persona under the veil of night - it becomes Crazy Annie's Bridge.

Legend speaks of a tragic tale interwoven with the bridge's very timbers. Annie, a war widow driven mad by grief after losing her husband in the Great War, is said to have drowned her three children in the creek below before hanging herself from a nearby tree. Now, her restless spirit haunts the bridge, her chilling screams echoing through the darkness, her spectral visage glimpsed through trembling willow branches.

For some, the bridge is a magnet for curiosity, a place to test the boundaries of the unknown. Daredevils tempt fate, venturing onto the span after midnight, hoping to catch a glimpse of the mournful specter. Paranormal investigators flock to the site, their equipment humming in the thick silence, seeking traces of the otherworldly on their sensitive instruments.

Whispers swirl around the bridge like the autumn leaves caught in its wake. Some claim to have heard disembodied cries, felt icy fingers brush their skin, or seen fleeting shadows darting beneath the wooden planks. Others dismiss it as mere folklore, a cautionary tale spun by campfire embers.
