The Cave has a name "Fairy Hole" named by the Indians. The cave gets narrow, then goes up, no water just bats. Ghost Lake is not a natural lake, the previous owners Leon Hull and Bill Crouse built them, there are 2 springs they took advantage of one near the cave the other towards the back of the lake. The State bought the property in the 1970's and demolished all the unique buildings, we once had a summer there. We so much miss living there. Cher Shades of Death Road:
