It is situated in a very lonely place in the middle of the mountains there is a fairly wide entrance if a man would go in for a little bit in a stooped position and after that he would have to creep in on his hands and feet
There did a man go in not so long ago with a candle and a gun he walked in for a little bit and he got on his hands and feet and went in further he could see little rooms each side of him as he was going along as he was going in it was getting dark he lit the candle and and he didnt get far until it was quenched so he got out as quickly as he could and never went near it again
Another man went in one day he kept going in, in the dark until he thought he saw an old woman sitting in a corner by a small fire.(continues on next page)
