We visited Morrow road in 2005. It’s a lonely road in Algonac, Michigan surrounded by woods. I always feel so dumb checking out haunted roads. One car passed us while we were standing there looking stupid. There’ve been countless times when an approaching vehicle pulls over while we're checking out a haunted road and asks if we need help. We tell them we’re fine and they drive off with strange thoughts in their head no doubt about what we were all doing standing on the side of the road.
There are a couple different variations of the urban legend circulating about Morrow road.
Version One
A woman walking along Morrow Road was attacked and raped sometime in the late 1800’s or early 1900’s. She became pregnant and not wanting the child, she left it by the bridge that used to be in the area where she had been assaulted. As she started walking home after abandoning the child, a severe snow storm started. She couldn’t stop hearing the cries of the baby and when she went back out of guilt, the child was buried in snow and the mother died from exposure.
Version Two
The child wandered away one night from home during a nasty snow storm. The mother ran out in search of the child and both never returned, dying from exposure and their bodies were never found. The mother now spends her afterlife in search of her lost child.
Whatever version you hear, both tell of the ghostly mother appearing to the random passerby looking for her lost child. She’ll ask people, “Where is my baby!” People have claimed to have seen her, been chased in their car by her and have heard the sounds of a baby crying. When the bridge used to be in the area, people would pull up on their car and honk their horn three times to make her appear, a typical theme in haunted bridges.
