Big Falls at Indian Falls, Corfu
A legend passed down in the Corfu, NY, area describes the Big Falls at Indian Falls as being haunted by the ghosts of a couple who tragically died there in the late 20th century. According to the urban legend, the couple was at the falls and something went wrong, leading to their deaths. The story is bolstered by a documented history of deaths at the falls, a fact that has contributed to its ominous reputation. A list of tragedies from 1870 to 1962 compiled by Batavia's List shows numerous deaths by drowning, often caused by slipping on wet rocks or being caught in the undertow. Although not extensively documented, local stories, like the one shared on a Facebook group, suggest that the ghosts of the couple can be seen at the falls, eternally tied to the place of their death.
