I hunt in this swamp every year and it's definitely spooky at 3am.

[@ctdmowing]

You hunt deer or waterfowl there? I was there yesterday and had a real tough time finding geese

I have fished and even trapped there a few times.
This swamp can get real weird in the wee hours.

I used to go by this everyday on way to edinboro and always thought this looked like a huge lake at 1 time and wondered why they drained it.shovked to find out it was only a swamp.

There was a man in the depression times that was tracking a fox in the winter on the ice and found a soft spot and whent threw and the only thing they found of him was his hat laying on the ice there is a lot of history in that swamp

Live right by here the cherry picker crane that sank over night in 65’ was true

If you ever go back into Geneva Swamp son you better not go at night
There's things out there in the middle of them woods
That'd make a strong man die from fright
There's things that crawl and things that fly
And things that creep around on the ground
And they say those bowfin really do get up and they walk around.

I have camped it a few times myself.

Do you know if there's any truth to their finding a Wooly Mammoth skull while building the floating bridge?

[@aarickzook]

I didn't come across that, but it's quite possible!

[@kemcmann86]

according to the Conneaut Lake Historical society: The local existence of these large creatures (woolly mammoth) was discovered in 1958 by workers dredging for a dock. Bones were found at the site of what is now Nye’s Marina.
