You see, no one is really sure what happened here on Lick Road. But whatever it was, it wasn't pretty and it involved a woman named Amy. Pity Poor Amy Depending on the age of the person you ask, you will get one of three stories about what happened on Lick Road to cause it to become haunted. About the only thing the stories have in common is a woman named Amy meeting her violent, untimely demise. The three most popular legends are: On prom night, Amy and her boyfriend decided to park at the end of Lick Road for a little post-prom romance. Unfortunately, the evening ended with Amy being raped and killed inside the car by her boyfriend. While Amy was out for a little moonlit stroll one evening, she was attacked by an unknown assailant (although in some versions, it's her stepfather). Amy attempted to escape by running into the woods at the end of Lick Road. But she barely made it to the woods before her assailant caught and killed her. Amy was killed by yet another unknown assailant on nearby W. Kemper Road. The killer then dumped her body at the far end of Lick Road. |

It is said that if you park your car at the end of Lick Road, lock it, and then walk away, when you return to the car, not only will the car's windshield be fogged up, but the words "help me" will be written in the condensation…from the inside! Lick Road – A Crybaby Bridge in the Making As if Amy's tortured spirit hadn't suffered enough, another story has popped up recently that connects Amy with an old abandoned bridge located in the woods off Lick Road. The story says that if you stand in the middle of the bridge and shout, "Amy, I have your baby!" that her ghost will appear and chase after you. The reason why she does this is unclear, although some say Amy is angry at having been killed before she was able to have a child, so her ghost considers what you're shouting to be your way of mocking her. But there are a few people who say Amy's ghost comes after you because in life, Amy secretly gave birth to an illegitimate child that she killed by throwing it off the bridge. So her ghost comes after you because you know her secret. Keeping that in mind, we're betting it's only a matter of time before Amy's baby starts kicking up a fuss and the old bridge officially becomes known as a Crybaby Bridge. Stay tuned! |
