... that the black swamp in Claremont Park was believed to be inhabited by evil spirits and was known to have consumed cattle? Source: The area was believed to be inhabited by evil spirits by the native Americans who lived in the area; early European settlers were also aware of the danger and erected a fence around it to prevent cattle from falling in.

New enough (created Nov 30). Long enough (> 3500 characters of narrative text). Article is generally well written and sourced, with the exception of the unsourced third paragraph of "Description". Earwig check does not find any problems. Hook is short enough, interesting, and sourced. QPQ done. Once the sourcing issue is fixed, this will be good to go.
