Many people visit Mammoth Cave in Kentucky every year. There the natural wanderers go to the caves. But many people don’t know there’s paranormal activity that goes on.
Mammoth Cave is the largest cave in the world, with approximately 330 miles documented and believed to have several miles unexplored. With countless rooms and a varied history, there have been many reports of paranormal activity. He is best known for his story as Floyd Collins. A cave explorer who died in the Crystal Cave section of the Mammoth Cave.
It is said that while exploring a cave alone he got stuck in a small passage and despite many attempts The day he died in the cave to save him. At a time when the competition was full of tourist dollars, it was more attractive. Floyd’s body was placed in a glass case in front of the cave entrance. For some unknown reason his body was stolen but was found in a field and minus one leg was returned to the Crystal Cave for display. No one knows why the leg was removed, but it never recovered. He was later buried at Mammoth Cave Baptist Church Cemetery. That is still in the land national-park.
There have been many reports of loose legs running through the cave. Most people think Floyd is looking for his leg. Although it’s closed, you can still walk about 1.5 miles to the entrance of the Crystal Cave, where the ticket booth still stands if you dare to touch the spirit of Floyd Collins.
At least 2 other events have been reported at a different location at Mammoth Cave. A certain servant, named Stephen the Bishop, was so taken by the early love of the cave that he gave up the liberty of being able to stay in the cave. The other is a girl named Melissa who is said to have led her unwitting lover into a cave and left him in revenge. instead, he promotes contemptuously. She was never seen again, and those who saw her say they are still searching.
There have been many photographs taken in and around the cave, mostly by unwary Orbium tourists, of mist, obscured figures, and of course, dead body parts.
Of course, with a cave steeped in history than Mammoth why would anyone be surprised that there are so few ghosts around. . I say from my own experience, I never saw the Spirit in the cave, but I was once again as a child. Maybe someday I can have the experience of witnessing Floyd Collins.
