A woman was found drowned in this Seneca County creek. It was recorded as suicide. The deepest point where she was found is four feet.

A woman was found drowned in Mill Creek at Lodi in Seneca County, New York. The death was recorded as a suicide.

The objection people locally have never let go of is a measurement. At the deepest point where she was found, the water is four feet deep.

A graveyard runs along the edge of the gorge above the creek.

What is reported is a woman in black clothing of the 1800s, standing beside the creek on the bank opposite the graveyard, looking across.

Drownings in shallow water do happen and are not by themselves evidence of anything. What matters here is that the community clearly did not accept the finding at the time, and the figure they describe is placed exactly where a person would stand to look at the cemetery she was buried in.
