Investigating An Actual Haunted Treasure Cave
Gotham Wisconsin is home to some bizarre legends. This week I am kayaking down the Wisconsin River, camping on islands, and spelunking in a cave system rumored to hold vast treasure, artifacts, and human remains in totaling the hundreds.
Located near the peak of Bogus Bluff, the cave not only has hundreds of years worth of legends about it but was also home to counterfeiters who made it their hideout for more than 20 years.
It’s been said that if you shout into this cave, what comes back from its depths will send shivers down the backs of warriors.
Join me as I search for Death Song Cave.

Thank you to the landowner for graciously giving me access to this amazing cave.

    me and my friends found this cave a few months ago when it was winter still and went in the first one and that second cave (there was no animals around at the time) and when you walk in the second one it’s like a dome then it goes down into a very small opening but we didn’t think any of us could fit so we didn’t go any further but there is a bunch of little holes all over in there like that’s were the rattlesnakes were nesting. We thought it was a pretty cool find even though we couldn’t go any farther.

I have an ALICE pack, medium (who doesn't?) and Karrimor Sabre 45, which is a pretty comfortable pack. Keep going. I look forward to more of your content.

    just my 2 cents be more like Steve and have a step 2. Way too much talking, and information dumping. I like all the camera angles and the B roll of you working and enjoying the sensory. Let the microphone listen to the bird and bugs more, give us stuff that we cant hear or see here from Ohio or somewhere like Texas, you walking through cotton or puddles is really cool and it looks like u have a drone following you very nice. Keep up the great videos I'd rather this than the other 80% of camping youtubers that don't say a word the entire video.

    Right at the beginning of the vid you talk about how everyone that uses the trail will eventually run in to it. Then you are surprised when someone shows up. I'll sub, but I won't stick around for that kind of whining. Public trails, lol. Horses can't get where I go.

      Hey! Thanks for subscribing. What I said was that if you are backpacking you will come across the shelter… meaning you will reserve it and head down the shelter path to stay there. These guys weren’t backpacking, they were turkey hunters and came in off the road. Each shelter has a spur trail off of the main trail, so the they are intended to be used by backpackers who reserve the shelter only. There is typically no main trail traffic to the shelters.
