Ted's Caving Story
JoAnne Schmitz
ghost story than an urban legend, I think, but there must be a caver or two
here who could give us some sanity checks on the details.
http://www.holyshiite.com/caver/
I found a copy of it on angelfire, too, but I wouldn't want to put anyone
through all those popups.
Some of the pictures are scary in an "I would never do that" kind of way.
The story itself is fairly engaging.

Kind of freaky how it ends. But except for the pictures it can't be real. I
don't think any experienced spelunker would go into something that small
without a safety rope. And to not make it bigger.
Finally if he's going back to something that evil even if he's not religious
he'd be taking some Holy Water, a Bible, and wearing a crucifix.

The story is very interesting. Did you notice that the picture of the
cave drawing says "HI"? Just look at the drawing sideways.

It is also strange that if he was an experienced caver he wouldn't have
a hard time identifying cave formations. Identifying something as
"crystal formations" doesn't seem like the terminology a spelunker* or
caver would use.

You're right - I see it - just tilt your head to the right, people. Heh. Very
funny. Too bad "Ted" doesn't have an e-mail address listed.
What I find funny is he and "Joe" could spend so much time away from work
without getting fired. Or at the very least family members/friends breaking
into the house and dragging them to the hospital. Or is mine the only family
who'd do this?

I know a few cavers who, on hearing that the guys had enlarged the hole,
would happily wall the two of them up inside the passageway.

Did no one else read the piece as a fairly advanced attempt at emulating
Stephen King's formula for success? Find some thing likely to make the
reader's skin crawl (the possibility of being trapped in a cave, miserably
unable to move) and add a little supernatural spookiness (impossible
noises caused by troglodites/demons/other.) Drag it out over a series of
chapters.

Silly Rabbi, it's not "Vampyres" that live(d) in Mystery
Cave.
It's the Mole People.
And the "Freaky Ending" is THE POINT OF THE GHOST STORY. A

Wouldn't work on a supernatural being.
Now maybe Napalm, liquid nitrogen, or some super duper strong acid.
But you'd be risking killing yourself and/or making the demon stronger. The
laws of the natural don't apply to the super/preternatural. Your best bet is
religious items or things believed to disrupt the power of magic such as salt.

I see a lot of excorisms taking place in AFU, and none of them seem to
involve holy objects.
Of course, the excorized beings never leave, so never mind.

Wouldn't sheer logic dictate that any of the lord of light's
minions would probably have napalm as an after dinner drink?
And perhaps the liquid nitrogen fed to one of the darker minions
would merely result in the Chicago Cubs finally winning the
World Series?
As for a strong acid, would think that again sulfuric acid would
be the demonic equivalent of cheap beer.

Actually it would be a good idea to interview the demon to
determine its religious affiliation or lack thereof. Otherwise
you might not only make it stronger, you might offend it by
blasphemy. The demon may have been Raven, Bokwus, Manitou,
Apikunni, Tuonela, Wakan-tanka, Wishpoosh, Torngarsa,
or most likely, White-she-buffalo.

Exactly. This would make only hypernatural weapons effective, right?

You realize the demon would then have you for lunch? Our weapontry would not
work on these things except to slow them down. It takes the power of a being
like God to stop a being like Mephistopheles.

Please don't give anyone any ideas. We could have all kinds of

just so some poor sports fans could finally justify years of
supporting a team that hasn't a chance without supernatural

There is an attorney, who after the release of Harry Potter as a film, told me
she would not let her kids go to it. I asked why and she said they used real
spells in the film. I replied, "you mean they work?" She said, no, they are
just taken out of real witches' spell books. Again, I asked if they worked and
she stared at me as if I missed the point.

We use to craw through the sandstone cave where Minnehaha Creek ran into the
Mississippi River. It got as small as 12 inches high and not much wider.
Smart little brats that we were would use candles to light the way and use a
lot of air too. Then in the back, huge cavern, perhaps 20' by 20', we would
sit and smoke and make out and if an older kid showed up, have a beer. Try as
they might, the park people could not close off the enterence, until, finally,
they caved in and down the hillside from the land above. A tree grows there
now and there is no sign of it. Perhaps someone will find another way in, and
there will be carvings and cans and cig. butts.

While I'm sure Andrea's toys could easily handle anything we'd run

Just more proof that the evil supernatural folks are in charge -
infiltration of the movie biz. Leaving out important and necessary
steps for eradication of nasties is just another way of giving us a
false sense of confidence and safety. Why, pretty soon there will
be a whole lot of plain old folks who don't even believe in ghosts,
