It seems every town has a tale that’s been passed down through the generations to entertain and intrigue, and Twin Falls has one legend that still pops up in local conversations more than a century after it supposedly happened.
The story of the “Singing Bridge” was also featured on the travel website onlyinyourstate.com The bridge was given this nickname because some believe the faint voice of one of the victims, a young man, can be heard singing underneath the bridge.
My parents divorced in the early 80s, so I moved quite a bit as a child. The house I was brought to after my mother had me was said to be visited by my deceased grandfather in the middle of the night. Italians have a strong belief in ghosts and the afterlife, and I remember my parents telling me stories of family curses and things like that. I’ve been exposed to urban legends and ghost stories my whole life.
I learned of the legends of the “Singing Bridge” and “Devil’s Minions” centered around the Old Town Bridge shortly after moving to Twin Falls in 2016. Rock Creek flows under the bridge at Shoshone Street South and there is a history in this area that I believe still lingers in Twin Falls today.
Attachment Bridge 2
The area below the Old Town Bridge (also known as the Rock Creek Bridge) where a kidnapping by “Satan’s minions” allegedly occurred in Twin Falls, Idaho.
In 2021, I investigated the area around this bridge for a story I was writing about the alleged kidnapping and murder of at least one young child in the early 1900s. I wrote the story because it was the 100th anniversary of the kidnapping at the time. Many people walk their dogs there and there are a few houses in the area, so if you go to investigate on your own at night, please be respectful.
