Documentation of Unexplained Events Great Swamp Wilderness Area, Morris County, New Jersey Dating back to the colonial period, there have been rumors of a specter, or presence, haunting the interior of the Great Swamp. Known historically as the Swamp Witch, the myth has been allowed to fade over the years, likely because of the unexplained and unsettling nature of events associated with it.
Coffin Rock Location (circled on map) December 6th, 1786, according to a contemporary account in the Morristown Daily Record, this is the site where six men, who were searching for a shortcut through the Great Swamp to Barton's Pub, were found with their bodies tied together at the arms and legs. Each had been disemboweled and were in an advanced state of decomposition. Strange markings had been carved into their faces and hands.

According to Professor Ahmed Gypsum of Zarapath, NJ, geometrically round crop circles like these are typically found in areas with a high density of paranormal phenomenon. November 1, 2002 Three members of a local running club attempted to set a cross-country trail through the Great Swamp Wilderness Area. They set off into the interior confident that the high-tech navigation gear they were carrying, including two GPS devices, USGS maps, aerial photographs, an orienteering compass, and their thirty-plus years of combined experience in the bush, would get them across the swamp successfully. Sadly, they were mistaken. MISSING PERSON REPORT
On a crisp Halloween day
in 1987 an innocent young man ventured out of the cloistered world of art
openings and loft parties of his Soho, NY neighborhood. Encouraged by a guy
with the peculiar name of Foreskin, the destination was Cranford, NJ for a
cross-country type fun-run.
Little did he know that
his real destination was a long slide into half-mindedness. He was lost to a
heady fog of gin mills, ribald singing, political incorrectness, chronic
trespassing, noxious running shoes, biting insects, general debauchery, and
leaves of three.
He had discovered a beer worshiping cult called the Hash House Harriers (HHH).
The person who was that naive, politically correct young man was never seen again. Twenty years later, a camera was found in a dusty athletic bag once used for carrying squash gear and generic cola. The last exposure on the roll of film found inside the camera may be the most damning evidence yet of the long term corrosive effect a cult like the HHH can have on an individual.
Twenty years will surely age a man
- but twenty years of hashing ...
