several communities have “killing statue” legends
Many communities have nearly identical legends about haunted railroad bridges too... and there's one within half an hour from where I live...
A typical "urban legend" railroad bridge story.
Avon Railroad Bridge
A railroad bridge that was built in 1906, and legend has it that it’s haunted. So the story goes, a mother was walking with her baby on the tracks when they fell to their deaths. Locals would say every time you drove under the bridge you had to honk to drown out the sound of the ghost of the mother’s wails. Some locals still honk today.

I originally posted about this here: IMDB2.freeforums.net/post/272231
I did some “Legend-Tripping” and went out to see this bridge a couple of times...
But sadly, I never experienced anything paranormal, while I was there.
It's a still a creepy looking bridge. I can see how it got's it reputation.
