Pennsylvania Caves?

[Oister]

Okay, time to see if there may be any more information out there. This is a comment that was on a link that my brother found and sent me:

"...reported to be bottomless. Numerous vehicles including trains that have derailed are rumored to be lost inside it. Reports of people diving from the nearby cliff/ledge and never resurfacing are told locally. There is an alleged undertow in the body of water that 'suctions' objects and people into the uncharted depths. Scuba divers have attempted to find the bottom without success."

Anybody else curious?

This is in PA?

According to Jacques Cousteau, in one of his early books, "The average depth of a 'bottomless lake', all around the world, is 5 meters"

I can believe that. It's an intriguing description though, is't it?

I am not sure the Bermuda Triangle extends to Pennsylvania

I don't know, maybe this is the other end of one of the portholes of the Bermuda Triangle. I've seen some pretty strange things in Susquehanna County.

It sounds like a serious syphon, you better dive 1/6ths.....

It sure must be if it's sucking in trains. But if it was that strong the vortex would be so deep at the surface that it would be known as a toilet bowl instead of a punchbowl.

My brother-in-law Billy Bob has a truck with a big winch on the front of it. Here, hold my beer while I get him to lower me in there to see how deep it is....

Yep. Susquehanna County. There have been numerous Sasquatch sightings in the area too.

But this place really does exist.

Willing to share the location? In a PM of course?

Oh come on. I've given enough clues that my 9 year old daughter could find it on the internet.

Be careful. There's some serious banjo music played around there.

There may be more than one "bottomless" pit in PA

How did I miss this? The car is already packed. Let's go!

Yes I was referring to Camp Susquehanna in the original post, but no the site is not on the former camp property. The site I was referring to, known to the locals as the Devil's Punchbowl, is up a dirt road outside of Lanesboro. We used to call it the Cascades. Beautiful waterfalls surrounded the bowl.

When was your brother there? My father bought the camp in 1963. I was just in Montrose a couple of weeks ago.
