Our ancestors have worshipped their limestone and crystal, believing them to possess mystical properties. Today, some still believe these burrows harness energy and amplify paranormal activity. Others believe creatures lurk in the shadows, crawling along the walls and stealing the souls of any who dare to enter. Some curious explorers have gotten lost and met their demise, dying alone in the dark. From history, to folklore, to creatures, to disappearances, and deaths, there are endless stories from these dark caverns.
