Ep. 97 - The Cave: An Underground Railroad story

Published: Aug. 17, 2020, midnight

b'In 1892, a man named John wrote a three-part series for the local Middletown, Ohio newspaper detailing two tragic events that led to at least 25 deaths in a cave leaking, presumably, natural gas. One event involved 21 escaping slaves, the other involved four geologists who went in but never came out. His tale led to a century of spelunkers trying to find the cave, but others have wondered if his prose was purely fiction. www.ohiomysteries.comfeedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Music in my Mind, by Third Class.\\xa0\\xa0http://www.thirdclass.net Additional music:\\xa0Audionautix- The Great Unknown, and\\xa0The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
