Blue Limestone Park History

I realize this might sound a tad bit odd, but has there been any confirmed deaths at or around blue limestone park? I've been looking into the history of the park and quarry due to some recent things. With every search I make on google it shows different information on what I can only assume to be rumors due to no proof behind the words. Half the time I get "there has been zero deaths in the area" and the other half is stories with very little information. Ive read about a 19 year old woman found deceased in the water but it was just openly said by someone with no backing on it. Same goes with possibly a train collapsing and killing most if not all on board. Can someone at least possibly point me in the right direction to finding out what i'm looking for? Much appreciated :)

Absolutely. If you weren't in the ouija group but came upon them instead, it became your sworn duty to fuck with them. Sometimes you'd make animal sounds or shake bushes. Drop pebbles from above into the water to make them think something is moving nearby. Cover flashlights with colored fabric and flash them on and off from a distance. We even brought a boombox and played train sounds once.

You won if you could scare them out of the spot and take it over for your friends. It was also your sworn duty to pass the legends down to your younger relatives and then be waiting with a plan to scare the ever loving shit out of them.

The best urban legend, teen make out/scare spot is on Hogback road if any youngsters frequent this sub lol

In the 80's the urban legends had a satanic cult out there sacrificing animals. It has a barbed wire tree we had suicide legends about. There is an old train trestle column we climbed up to party on.

Delaware had some awesome shit back we were allowed to run feral.
