Over the summer, my sister and I discovered an unexplored cave on our property. We took a photo right in from of the entrance and a few others inside. I was clearing out some of the photos on my phone to clear space and I saw THIS in one of our very first photos!

I like to imagine that this is just water droplets reflecting off of the cave walls, but I'm not too sure.

Besides the Pair of Eyes, I Hope it turns out to be a Robbers Cave (Hideout)

They make some Great Flashlights these Days, Light the Place up inside
& Check it out.
Just be careful !

I hope they are water drops also, because if they are not, with the gap between them, if they are eyes, that is one huge animal and I would have gotten the heck out of there !

Hmmm "freaky cave encounter "...

Sounds like a typical day at the Playboy Mansion pool.

I see nothing to worry about? Everyone knows from watching horror movies ill intent creatures eyes show up "red" or "green" on camera. Besides, no mention of any chilling background music?

That's interesting... I'm about an hour Southwesterly of you. When I was a child there was a natural cave along side of the driveway on my grandmother's farm. It was much smaller than the one you're standing in front of, but we could have crawled in. But Granny forbid us to enter. She started filling it up with household trash. Years later I purchased the farm from her. My driveway is a kilometer long up a holler. And the cave is no longer there, collapsed or filled.

I still wouldn't crawl into now if it were still there. There were probably things in there I wouldn't want to meet. Maybe not as large as the thing behind you in your cave!

Due to the geography here in our neck of the woods there's probably a whole lot of caves around here. There's certainly a story of counterfeit silver dollars minted in a cave just off the drive up to Lover's Leap.
