The Baum's Bridge Inn in Kouts, Indiana, is reportedly haunted by the ghost of a woman named "The Lady on the Bridge" who, along with her infant, fell to their deaths from the bridge during the 1930s. Visitors report hearing her screams and seeing a spectral figure on or near the bridge, especially at night. Some legends also mention a tragic cement worker who was buried alive during construction. The most popular story tells of a young mother who, in the 1930s, was walking across the bridge with her sick infant to take him to a doctor. She slipped and fell from the bridge, resulting in her and the baby's death. People who visit the bridge, particularly at night, claim to hear the sounds of a woman screaming for her baby. Some also report seeing a ghostly figure of a woman. Another legend suggests a worker was accidentally buried alive in the concrete during the bridge's construction, contributing to its haunted reputation. Some believe the sounds associated with the bridge are actually the natural noises made by trains passing over it, which can sound like screams or moans. Baum's Bridge has become a local paranormal hotspot due to these unsettling legends and reports of ghostly activity.
