‘Singing Bridge': Creepy Twin Falls Urban Legend Still Being Told

It seems like every town has a tale that gets told and shared through generations to entertain and peek curiosity. Twin Falls has such a legend that still comes up in conversations among locals more than a century after its alleged occurrence.

The "singing bridge" tale was even featured on the travel website onlyinyourstate.com. It got the nickname because some think they can hear the faint sound of one of the young victims singing beneath the bridge.

I moved around quite a bit as a kid when my parents divorced in the early eighties. The house I was brought home to after my mother gave birth to me was allegedly visited in the nighttime by my deceased grandfather. Many Italians are very much believers in ghosts and the afterlife, and I remember my parents telling me about family curses and things of that nature. I've been exposed to urban legends and spook stories my entire life.

Shortly after moving to Twin Falls in 2016, I learned of the legends of the "Singing Bridge" and the "Devil's Henchman," which both centered around the Old Towne Bridge. Rock Creek runs beneath the bridge on Shoshone Street South, and the area has a history that some believe still haunts Twin Falls to this day.

I explored the area around the bridge in 2021 for a story I was working on about the alleged kidnappings and murders of at least one young child in the early 1900s. I wrote the story because at the time it was the one-hundredth anniversary of the alleged abductions. A lot of people walk dogs down there and there are a few homes in the area, so if you go down to investigate yourself at night just be respectful.
