Hell's Gate Bridge. Many years ago, a young couple lost their lives while driving across Hell's Gate Bridge. According to legend, if you stop on the bridge and turn off your lights, a member of the couple will sneak into your vehicle and leave a wet spot. If you're wondering how this bridge earned its name, wonder no more. Supposedly, if you stop on the bridge and turn around, the road behind you will appear as the fiery gates of Hell. Today, because of its condition, Hell's Gate Bridge is closed. Have you ever heard of this bridge or crossed it?

Cry Baby Bridge. There are several versions of this urban legend, and the most popular one involves a woman drowning her baby. As legend has it, a young woman escaped from nearby Oak Grove Plantation with her baby as she was being pursued by soldiers. When she reached the bridge, she put her crying baby's face into the river below to keep the soldiers from hearing it. Many people have reported hearing the cries of a baby from this bridge, hence the name, Crybaby Bridge. Have you heard of this story before?

Sally Carter's Grave. Sally Carter, Huntsville's most famous ghost, is known for haunting Cedarhurst Mansion. In 1827, at the age of 15, Sally died inside of the mansion while visiting her sister. In 1919, Sally's ghost told the young man who was staying in her former bedroom to fix her headstone, which had fallen during a storm. For several decades, people visited Sally's grave, which began to cause problems. In 1982, her body was exhumed and relocated to Maple Hill Cemetery. The exact location was never revealed, and Sally's ghost continues to haunt Cedarhurst Mansion today. Have you ever visited this headstone in the past or heard of this ghost story?

Boyington Oak. In Mobile's Church Street Graveyard, there's an oak tree growing from the grave belonging to Charles Boyington — a man who was executed for a murder he didn't commit. When Mr. Boyington realized he was about to die, he let everyone know that an oak tree would grow from his heart to prove his innocence. It did just that! Several passersby have heard strange noises coming from the Boyington Oak. Could it be Mr. Boyington? Have you heard of this story?
