A TERRIBLE STORY OF ERIE AND MILLCREEK, THE ANCIENT LANDMARKS, CRAFTED BY HUMAN HANDS

As the earth was excavated, the ground yielded a haunting discovery, Knives, bullets, and more human bones emerged confirming the accounts of history and painting a vivid picture of the struggles. 

In the depths of Erie and Millcreek, where nature once held sway, a chilling secret lay hidden, waiting to be unearthed.

 The ancient landmarks, crafted by human hands, whispered tales of a forgotten past. 

Timber, aged 500 years, bore witness to the passage of time upon the embankment. 

But it was not just the aged wood that spoke of mysteries untold.

As the earth was excavated, the ground yielded a haunting discovery. 

Fragments of decomposed human skeletons emerged, their silent presence a haunting reminder of lives long gone.

 The relics, scattered amidst the soil, hinted at a forgotten history, waiting to be unraveled.

But it was not just in Erie where the unsettling truth lay buried. 

Two miles to the west, a sinister embankment, shrouded in ordinary forest growth, bore witness to a dark secret. 

Known as the Old Indian Fort, this eerie site held the echoes of a forgotten civilization. 

Nearby, a small stream, aptly named Fort Run, flowed, as if whispering secrets of its own.

And the revelations did not end there. Between Girard and Springfield, the remains of an Indian fort stood, a testament to battles long fought and forgotten. 

The very ground upon which they stood revealed the weight of history, urging the curious to delve deeper into its enigmatic past.

But it was not only the bones that told tales of a bygone era. Pottery, peculiar and unique, suggested a culture lost to time. 

Knives, bullets, and more human bones emerged from the depths, confirming the accounts of history and painting a vivid picture of the struggles and triumphs that once unfolded upon these lands.

In the midst of these discoveries, a disturbing account emerged.

 East of Erie, in the midst of excavations, a multitude of human bones and opened graves were found, causing the land’s owner to halt the desecration. 

A solemn decision was made to honor the resting place of the fallen, a testament to the respect and reverence these ancient souls deserved.

Yet, even in death, the mysteries persisted. An Indian mound, nestled near the mouth of Walnut Creek, held its secrets close. 

As it was opened, the remnants of a fire and the remains of its occupants were unveiled, painting a haunting picture of an ancient battleground. 

Opposite, another fort stood, mirroring its counterpart across the creek. 

It was as if two opposing armies had once clashed upon these very grounds, their stories forever etched in the soil beneath.

In the depths of Scouler’s woods, to the east of Erie, an Indian burial ground whispered tales of the departed.

 Amongst them, a colossal skeleton stood as a testament to the strength and stature of those who came before.

 Its presence sent shivers down the spines of those who dared to venture into this sacred place, a reminder of the power and mysteries that lay hidden within.

These chilling discoveries, woven together with the threads of history, cast a captivating and dramatic light upon the city of Erie.

The  toilsome and painful process of unearthing these secrets brought forth a city transformed, forever connected to its enigmatic past.
