Terrifying Bridge 95 Miles from Rochester is Incredibly Haunted

We're coming up on Spooky Season, one of my favorite times of the year! Haunted houses and other creepy attractions will start to open soon, but there are some creepy spots that are open year-round. Places that could be haunted.

There are quite a few places around Minnesota that are considered haunted, from towns to buildings. But this spot in particular is said to be very haunted and it's about 95 miles from Rochester.

Would You Ever Visit a Haunted Location?

I love haunted and creepy things, but I'm on the fence when it comes to visiting a place like this.

My husband and I have stayed in the St. James Hotel in Red Wing, which is said to be haunted.

Nothing spooky happened while we were there, but I think I'm more interested in visiting places like that than the spooky spot we're talking about today, which is a bridge sort of in the middle of nowhere.

Haunted Bridge in Henderson, MN

The haunted bridge 95 miles from Rochester is southwest of the Twin Cities, north of Mankato, in the small town of Henderson.

It's on a gravel road on 270th Street and according to hauntedhovel.com, it's called Crazy Annie's Bridge. It is said to be haunted by a mother from the early 1900s.

Here's how the story goes (heads up, it might be a difficult story to read):

They say that Annie lived in the area during World War I. She was a war widow and apparently "went 'insane' and [drowned] her three children in the creek that was right outside of her home." She then hung herself from a tree by the bridge.

It's said that if you go to the bridge after 11 PM you may hear a woman screaming. Some say their radios randomly turn off or get static. Other people have said they've found handprints from an unknown source on the side of their car after leaving the bridge. Creepy... and also very sad.

Also, this should go without saying, but don't do anything dangerous or stupid, and don't trespass if you do explore a haunted location.
