Tin, you have a very valid point. It has been a while I have looked at such mythology, especially concerning marshes and the fae and evil spirits that seek to bring the demise of man.
Though I think Frodo saw it because he was looking for it. Sam probably knew better then to try to look, being scared to go through.
