Hey everybody, and welcome back to four the Booze.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
For the Megan been saying the same thing at the
beginning of every episode.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
For four years.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Hi, everybody, I guess it does just kind of roll out,
don't But anyways, we're back with a brand new edition
of for the Booze, and we're back with a brand
new another episode. We're doing it early. If you're watching
the video anyways, it's coming out early. If you're listening
to the podcast, it's coming out when it comes out.

(00:53):
This way, I could have a little more time to edit.
And yeah, so we're gonna do an episode today that
is from a place that Meghan lived when she was
a little wee girl. It is a littler wee girl.
He still pretty little. Hey you are you're a small person,
a big girl. Now you're a what's what's the comp

(01:16):
what's the correct term here? You're a little people. It's fine,
it's fine. I am not I edit her to make
her look normal. That's illegal, extremely illegal, very very illegal.
So to look not normal. I don't want to put
anybody down if you're a little person. That's not what
I meant. I just meant to make she she has
this thing. You've seen her just her chair before to
make herself look taller. So I just help her out.

(01:38):
That's all, you know. We bring her up to you know,
an even five foot instead of her normal three and
a half. But anyways, we're going to be visiting a
town called Wichita Falls, Texas today, a place I have
never heard of. I just I remember looking up because
we've done places where I'm from, and I remember looking

(01:59):
up places where you were, like where you've lived over
you know, your years, and found a place called Pinky's Cave.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Interesting. I'm I don't like living there. It wasn't very
big and known like there was like caves and stuff everywhere.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
So this is very it's very weird. It's kind I mean,
I guess it's a cave, but it's you'll see, I
don't I hate to give stuff away. It's in a
weird location to the point where I don't even know
if it's a real cave, but I don't. I've never
been to Wichita, Okay Falls, so I've I've been through Wichita, Kansas. Yeah,

(02:38):
we went through there.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
We did.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
That's Topeka.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
So if anybody doesn't know which tap Falls in Texas is,
up near the border near Oklahoma, so it's not southern
like it's smack dab in the middle, closer to the
top of Texas.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
So it's like dusty, very gross.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
And one of my jelly sandals, you know, because back
in the day kids wore those. One of my jelly
sandals melted to the sidewalk one time.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Now, the only family stories I have come from like
Corpus Christie and Opasso and stuff like that. Mm hmmm,
because that's where some of my family lived, and I
don't know they may. I just feel like I've heard
it's not that great there. And I remember one time
my grandmother went to visit there and she said a
bush burst into fire because it was so hot and
dry out.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
I believe it.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
But that's where we're going to be going today. So
you've obviously never heard of a Pinky's cave. Megan was
so gracious to point it out before we recorded that
it kind of sounds dirty, so if I have to
hear it, so do all you. Megan's going to try
not to have any Freudian slips today.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'm gonna try, but no guarantees. The last guarantee.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
The last one was it's a pretty good one. Hey,
you know what, go back and listen to the last
week's episode. It's right, it's right in the beginning. You'll
hear it. Keez.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
But today, before we head deep beneath the surface to
a place known as Pinky's Cave, let's take a moment
to explore the unique story and spirit of Wichita Falls itself.
The founded in the late nineteenth century, Wichita Falls quickly
grew from a modest settlement along the Wichita River into
a thriving city, fueled by the Texas oil boom and
the arrival of the railroad. Today, it boasts a population

(04:18):
of around one hundred and four thousand residents, making it
one of the major urban centers in North Texas. Known
for its resilience, Wichita Falls has weathered floods, tornadoes, and
economic hardships, yet continues to stand as a beacon of
community and progress. It's also very close to military base.
I mean, I know you're a military brat, so.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
That's literally where we lived.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
And usually, but what I'm getting at is like, usually
cities by military bases are they're okay, you know, because
you've got the military there, unless you're in Florida. Then,
I mean, it doesn't matter if there's a military base there,
You're still in Florida, So it's bad.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
The city is rich in heritage, with landmarks like the
historic Kemp Center for the Arts, the world's littlest skyscraper,
and the bustling Depot Square. Wichita Falls is also home
to Shepherd Air Force Base, one of the largest training
bases in the Air Education and Training Command, which adds
a unique military legacy to the town's tapestry.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
And that's where I lived. Yeah, it was Shepard Air
Force Base.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Did you live on the areag Yeah, of course you did.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Absolutely. I'm not bogie military bread.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yet beyond its She's a boogie military bread. Yet beyond
its industry and landmarks, Wichita Falls is a place of stories,
some bright and some shadowed, and some downright mysterious. In
a city whose name itself evokes the image of cascading
waters and hidden secrets, it's no wonder that legends have

(05:53):
grown in the quiet spaces beneath its surface. Settle in,
dim the lights and listen closely as we journey from
the heart of Wichita Falls to the enigmatic Pinky's Cave.
Those kind of sound dirty, unraveling the paranormal claims and
voices of those who have ventured there, as it truly haunted,

(06:14):
or are these tales simply the product of restless minds
and wild imaginations. We're gonna find out.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Me. Let's dive into this one.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
There's a good amount of personal stories for me.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Now get like, dive in like a cave.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Sure that's what she meant. Now, let's start with the basics.
Pinky's Cave lies just outside the heart of Wichita Falls,
tucked away in brush and limestone, known only to those
who seek it or stumble upon it. Its name alone
sparks curiosity. Who was Pinky and how did their legacy
become entwined with the subterranean realm. This is why I'm

(06:50):
saying it's kind of a cave. It's kind of a cave.
A local lore offers several versions. Some insist Pinky was
an out law who used the caves as a hideout
in the late eighteen hundreds, and others whisper that Pinky
was a wanderer, a drifter who vanished mysteriously, leaving only
footprints and rumors behind the cave with its winding passages

(07:13):
and uneven floors became the perfect setting for ghost stories
told around campfires. Yet, even beyond the legend of its namesake,
Pinky's Cave has earned a reputation as a place where
the veil between world seems to thin.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Interesting.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
If it doesn't get into why I'm calling it a
sort of cave, I will elaborate at the end, Okay,
because it is, by all technical standings a cave, kind
of I just can't like. It's hard to explain because
once I explain it, if they don't, you'll get it. Now.

(07:53):
Before the paranormal claims, Pinky's Cave served more practical purposes.
Early settlers in Wichita Falls found shelter within its stone walls,
escaping harsh weather and at times prying eyes. Some records
suggest it was used by bootleggers during Prohibition a place
to stash contraband and of course, have made the law now.

(08:13):
When the mid twentieth century, local teens adopted the cave
as a rite of passage, exploring its depths become emblematic
of courage, curiosity, and a touch of rebellion. Over time,
these late night adventures gave rise to tales of supernatural
encounters a shadow moving where no person stood, a sudden chill,

(08:34):
as if the cave itself breathed in voices that seemed
to echo from nowhere.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Spinky Okay.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Now, no story about Pinky's Cave would be complete without
hearing from those who have braved its darkness and emerged
with stories to tell. So let's listen to a few
accounts shared by visitors. First was a girl named Rachel.
Now I don't have I only was able to find
the story. I don't know who these people are or anything. Okay,

(09:03):
she says, quote. We crawled through the entrance just before midnight.
The air was thick and everything echoed. My friends and
I made it to the big chamber, and suddenly all
of our flashlights flickered at once. For a second, I
thought I saw a figure standing near the wall. It
disappeared when the lights steadied, we all felt this chill,

(09:23):
like someone was watching us. We left in a hurry
and vowed never to go back at night.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh yeah, but we kind of freaked out too.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
I mean flickering electronics. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
I wouldn't say that that part is the paranormal. I
think the light's going out and I get like trick
of the eye and things like that.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Do we know whether or not limestone and stuff like
that can interfere with electronics.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
That's a great question.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I'm just curious. I could be in on them. Now.
A band named Carlos said quote, I went with my
cousin to shoot some photos for a school project. We
heard what sounded like a woman's voice, but couldn't make
out the words. It kept repeating softer and softer until
it just stopped. When we listened to the recording later,

(10:13):
you could hear faint whispers in the background. Neither of
us spoke while the tape was rolling.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Okay, maybe people were in there.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
But we are going to get into the common claims
of paranormal activity that are said to happen here, and
you're going to see that a lot of these do
coincide with each other.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Okay, so it's like repeated, yeah, that happened.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Well, it's not just sad. It's like people who have
been there claim to have an experience, but it turns
out it's one of those things that is said to
actually happen there. And like, I like when that happens,
because to me, that's like a further substantiates the stories
that are you know, being passed around like you know,
it's not like you're going there. Nothing happens, even though

(10:54):
they say whole bunch of stuff happens. Now a lady
named Terror. Do you want to read what Terra said?

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Tara says quote, I wanted to disprove the ghost stories,
so I went in with my boyfriend and a couple
emf meters. We spent what felt like thirty minutes in
the cave, but when we got out nearly two hours
had passed. Our phones and watches had stopped working. Inside.
I remember feeling nauseous and dizzy, and when I turned around,

(11:23):
the cave entrance looked smaller, almost like it was shrinking.
I still can't explain what happened.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
A loss of time sounds like alien in abduction.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
It does.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Talked about that last week. We sure did so, I
mean another creepy, weird thing. Yeah, now we have somebody
named Josh. Now these people are from Texas, so quote.
I've explored a lot of caves, but Pankys was different.
The moment you step inside, it feels like you're not alone.

(11:53):
I thought a hand touched my back more than once,
but everyone swore they were in front of me. We
left after hearing rocks clattered deep in the darkness. I
don't scare easily, but that place gives me cheels his
made check. So I mean, these are okay, all right,
So now let's delve into the heart of our episode.

(12:15):
You know, the paranormal lore that has made Pinky's Cave
of magnet for ghost hunters and thrill seekers, including these
first hand encounters. So these are going to be what
I was talking about just a few minutes ago. Okay,
these are going to be the clean like the stories
that are passed around, and you'll see that a lot
of the stuff does kind of coincide with each other.

(12:37):
It does kind of match. One of the most enduring
claims involved sightings of a shadowy figure presumed to be
the spirit of Pinky. Witnesses describe a fleeting silhouette moving
through the caves narrow corridors, usually glimpsed out of the
corner of the eye, and some say the figure wears
a hat and long coat and a relic of the

(12:57):
Outlaw era. Others insist the Apple Parish is something less
human and undefined, mass darker than the surrounding gloom. A
local paranormal investigator who will call Sam, recounts their experience, quote,
we were about sixty feet in when my flashlight flickered.
Suddenly I saw a shadow dart across the wall. No

(13:19):
one else was in that section with me. It felt cold,
like the air shifted unquote. Now sam story echoes dozens
of similar claims, suggesting that if the cave is haunted,
the presence patrols its depths regularly, so we've already there's
already one. Now, visitors frequently report hearing mysterious noises within

(13:39):
Pinky's cave. Now these aren't the usual echoes of footsteps
or dripping water. Instead, people describe soft murmurs, disembodied whispers,
and the occasional peal of laughter, sometimes childlike, other times
deeply menacing. One local resident named Jenna recalls.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Quote, I've been in the cave. There's a moment when
you hear voices but no one's talking. They start faint
and then get louder, almost as if someone is trying
to communicate or warn you.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Now, these auditory phenomena def straightforward explanation, fueling speculation about
the cave's supernatural inhabitants. Jenna sounds hot, sounds a lot
like my wife.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Good for you, Jenna now.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Another common report involves sudden drops in temperature and icy
chill that clings to the skin. Paranormal enthusiasts often bring
EMF meters and thermal cameras, and some claim to have
detected inexplicable spikes in electromagnetic activity. Photographs occasionally show orbs
of light or misty forms adding fuel to the fire.
Which we I've already been over this million times. How

(14:48):
I feel about orbs.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Like it's a cave.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
There's so much give, there's so much dust, there's so
much debris for so many bugs. Especially when you hear
where the cave is, it's gonna make it. Especially being
from Florida, You're gonna be like, of course there's bugs there, okay.
The Some visitors describe the sensation of being watched or
a feeling of dread that intensifies the deeper they go,
and others say they've been lightly touched by unseen hands,

(15:15):
their hair tugged on their shoulders, brushed and passing. While
skeptics dismiss these experiences as products of suggestion or natural
cave drafts. Believers insist the cave's energy is anything but ordinary,
and these are just more of the claims that we
heard from earlier, and we are going to have more.
We're gonna We're gonna have more reoccurring maybe now. A

(15:39):
handful of ghost hunters and curious explorers recount technical difficulties
flashlights flicker or die, batteries drain inexplicably, and cameras malfunction.
A few even claim to experience quotea lost of time. Okay,
so all these stories are you know, moments when their
watch is stalled, or entire chunks of their visits seem

(15:59):
to just vanish from their memory. Now, Rob, an amateur investigator,
describes an unsettling episode quote, we entered the cave around sunset.
My phone was fully charged, but within minutes the battery
dropped to zero. Later, reviewing the footage, we realized several
minutes were just missing. It was like the cave erase them. Now,
whether these disruptions are due to the cave's geology or

(16:22):
something more ethereal remains a topic of debate. And that's
why I asked, like, is there something about limestone that
will interfere I feel like there is.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
I do too, Actually, I kind of want to look
at it.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, I don't know, I just I do. I feel
like there would that it would be right. But as
we're seeing, we're getting a lot of crossover stories, you know,
like a lot of the stuff that's passed around in
story and lore and all that are the things that
people are experiencing when they go in here. So while

(16:55):
I could roll my eyes at a lot of this stuff,
mm hm, it's just crazy to me that the people
going there are experiencing the things, or at least they're
claiming to the things that are being said.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Right, So, can limestone affect electronics? I looked up googled it.
It says yes, limestone can indirectly affect electronics, primarily through
its dust particles and its interaction with moisture. Moisture dirt
chemical reaction less common.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
I don't think you're supposed to say moist on the internet.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
It's literally reading it. So yeah, just I don't think
very specifically like it has like a there's.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
But there's a possibility. Yeah, but there is a possibility.
So not saying that that's what's happening, but you know,
just so all the informations out there. It can interfere
with electronics, so do with that what you will. Now.
Of course, not everyone is convinced Pinky's Cave is haunted,
and skeptics argue that the cave's atmosphere, dark, damp and confined,

(17:58):
can easily play tricks on the scense. Echoes, drafts, and
shifting shadows might explain most reported phenomena. Psychologists note that
the expectation and suggestion often influence what people experience and
supposedly hunted places and human brains are wired to find
patterns and meaning, especially in ambiguous environments. As one local

(18:19):
historian puts a quote, the cave's legend is powerful. If
you enter believing you'll see a ghost, you're much more
likely to interpret ordinary events supernatural. Okay, I mean I
was going to say interpretate for some reason.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah, I could see. I can see that.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
It's the power of suggestion. We've said this a million
times on this show, that like, you know, people want
to believe. We do want to believe. Even people who
don't believe would they would still want it to be real.
So if you can almost convince people into believing something
absolutely but nonetheless the sheer volume of stories passed down

(18:58):
through generation leaves room for wonder. Obviously, you know, I wonder.
I don't know. Today, Pinky's Cave remains an object of
fascination and urban explorers, paranormal investigators, and history buffs continue
to visit, each hoping for a glimpse into its mysteries,
and the cave appears in local ghost tours and its

(19:19):
legend is celebrated in Wichita Falls folklore. Do we hear
about this place? Nope, Maybe it's more of a modern
day thing. Well, you were also a child.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
I was.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
A small just a little bit of a smaller child
than you are.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Now.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Some groups have conducted formal investigations using night vision equipment
and audio reporters. While no one has captured irrefutable evidence,
the stories persist, and the interest in the site only
seems to grow now. Honorable mentions that come from the
Internet from some locals who have visited the location have
this to say. I found these on Haunted places dot org. Okay, okay,

(19:58):
these are not from any books. They're not from any
like they are from a website. But they're not like
hard written into an old story. These are actual reviews
left from people, okay. In August twenty fifteen, someone named Jumper,
who I guess went there a few times, said quote,
the few times I went in there, I can promise

(20:21):
these people, I can promise you this. There is something
down there, and I felt it before, right, Okay, So
somebody they felt something. Another individual in June twenty sixteen,
named Tom These are all from the same website, says quote,
there was nothing good and clean about Pinky's cave. It
was a hangout for outcasts, not the neighborhood kids. And

(20:43):
rumors of Satanic rituals being performed down there, as well
as living sacrifices. And let's just say that if you
didn't fit in, you'd better not enter. I lived in
apartments off Midwestern Parkway, and we used to We used
it to get across town to buy drugs. Can I
allowed to say that on YouTube? I don't think so

(21:03):
to buy I don't care to buy drugs, and as
well as to hide from cops after curfew. But I
never dared say anything because I didn't want people to
think I was a punk. But the whole way through
the tunnel, he felt heaviness on your shoulders, as if
somebody was only a few steps behind you. Following you

(21:24):
were always told one of the rules of the cave
was to always walk forward, never look back, or you
will never leave. I don't know, and I didn't care
to test it.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Look back or you'll never leave. Like, is this a
magical portal? I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
I mean, according to some people it is, okay. I mean,
if you go in somewhere and you lose a whole
bunch of time, it's kind of a magical portal, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
I mean, yeah, I guess, I know. That's really nervous.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah, I mean what, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
I just don't lost her train of thought. I did
they see kicking on scared me? It was really loud. Yeah,
I don't know. It's just to say never look back
or you will never leave it. I feel like it's
just very extreme.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
I don't know. I mean, yeah, but that's that's that's
the that's what they're trying to get across here about
this place, is that it's it's sort of extreme.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
I don't know, man, it's a cave now one.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
I don't know, man, it's just a cave. One last
on the same website in October twenty twenty twenty twenty three. Yeah,
I sai that right from someone named Grayson McMahon simply asked, quote,
I went there, and has anyone else heard a little
girl giggling? Oh?

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Creepy.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
That's one of the claims though, is that sometimes it's
like a childlike giggle and sometimes it's a menacing laugh,
all right, and.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Then like a whispering woman's voice we heard before.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yeah, so this this is obviously going to be running
kind of a shorter episode. That's fine, But this is
what I wanted to explain about this cave. Okay, when
when you think of a cave, what do you picture
like where do you picture a cave.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Either high up or on the ground, like leading way
back in?

Speaker 2 (23:25):
But it's like out in the elt, out in wilderness
where you know, like in Florida, a lot of caves
where whole openings in the ground that you'd have to
go into kind of here drop. Yeah. Here, they're kind
of like in the side of a mountain like way pie,
I think this is more man made because this isn't
a drainage ditch. I'm sorry what it's an a drainage ditch.

(23:47):
That's how I read it described was that it's in
a drainage ditch.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
What it was like the drainage that goes into this
ditch go in the car.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
I'm very confused.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
I don't know. But when if you look Upy's Cave
in Wichita Falls, it does come up as telling you
that it is in a drainage ditch.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
So I'm having a hard time and even envisioning this.
And if you're watching the video of this on YouTube,
if I can find a picture of it, I'll post it, Okay,
But I I don't know is that an actual cave
or is that just a hollow in the ground left
over from digging out the drainage ditch.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
I feel like the second one. I mean, I guess
you're saying it's a drainage ditch, like.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
That's just if it's there long enough, it will become
a cave. I suppose, I mean by technical standards. I guess. Well,
it had to have been there for a long time
because an outlaw supposedly, or at least somebody from the
Old West discovered it. Did they even dig drainage ditches
back then?

Speaker 1 (24:52):
I have no idea. I'm so confused.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
That's how it was described, unless maybe it was a
cave and then they dug a drainage ditch by I
don't know, but it is described as being in a
drainage ditch.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Super weird.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
So and it's made out of limestone, which would make sense,
So like, is it really a is it good? All right? Look,
when we lived in Florida, I used to go to
caves that not a lot of people knew about because
they were like dangerous and like holes in the ground
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
When you took me to was super cool.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
That was the one behind blows behind our home depot.
I think, yeah, that's or well, there's two over there.
That's why I'm asking. There's there's a big there's one
with a big face opening. It's out behind the home depot.
That's probably that one. Then there's the other one that's
in like the college park park. And then there was

(25:41):
another one. If you go out into like where the
farm areas are and you have to pull off on
the side of the road and hop a little wooden
fence and there's just a hole in the ground. Oh
and you just go down And that was my favorite one.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, no, thank you.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
But they were all limestone because you're in Florida. I
don't know, man. I just when I read Drainage Day,
which I really like, had art time wrapping my head
around it because it's, you know, drainage ditch. But uh so,
I'll leave it up to you guys that are listening
and watching.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
You know, if it's a cave.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
If it's not, Yeah, it could just be a void
in the ground. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
I don't know either.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
So is Pinky's Cave haunted?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Well?

Speaker 2 (26:18):
The truth, as ever with legends, depends on who you ask.
For some, it's simply a natural formation with a colorful past,
and for others, it's a portal to something beyond everyday experience,
a place where echoes and shadows keep secrets alive. Whether
you're a skeptic, a believer, or an adventurer at heart,
Pinky's Cave remains one of Whichita falls most intriguing mysteries,

(26:42):
and the next time you find yourself in Texas, maybe
you'll be tempted to seek out its entrance, to listen
for whispers, and to wonder what may linger in the
darkness beneath behind whild waves.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
A girl in missing back engine but mama swears she
heard her too. Small tal secrets don't sty buried long rodsticker,
but the.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Truth run strong. You get hot the sand in the pod.
That's the story, skys, not a long one. Every once
in a while shorter episode and that's fine. Interesting, But
I did. I found it, and out of all the
places I found from your old home area, this one,

(27:31):
to me seems the most intriguing, honestly because it's a
cave but not a cave, and a drainage ditch that's
apparently been there long enough for some outlaw to claim it.
So I don't know, it just seems weird. But there's
a lot you know, there are people who claim that
maybe it's not so much haunted, that people are down
there doing ritual stuff, But then there's people who swears haunted.
So who freaking knows?

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Man funny enough, which top falls where I started having
paranormal experiences.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
You are a paranormal experience.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
I am well aware.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Yeah, you are some much sweet So, I mean, I
don't know, I wonder if your parents ever heard of
this place. You know, I feel like maybe you don't,
just because you were a child at the time.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, I was like ten when we left. Yeah, lived
there for like four or four or five years.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Like forty years ago. That makes sense, rude. But anyways,
as we normally do, I have to ask you, do
you think Pinky's Cave is actually haunted?

Speaker 1 (28:39):
No? No, no, I don't, okay. I I think it
just is this little place that has like these stories
and legends and stuff behind it. And like when you're
entering into a cave or wherever, it may be like
some place that's not a normal place to be in

(28:59):
a building or something like that, but it's like in nature,
surrounded by rocks, and you might have like dripping water
and things like that. I feel like it's very easy
to go in and shoot a flash of a picture
and have a super smudgy thing or like a reflection
off of something and you're like, oh my gosh, it's
you know, and then dripping water. So that's what is
it called paradolia? Where parado you'll hear a sound, but

(29:21):
then you it like registers as something else, voices or
something like that.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Imagery works with paradia or paradalia works with pictures and
stuff too.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Right, So I don't know. That's what I feel like
is going on here, what about you.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
I honestly I don't know. Okay, I don't know. I
want to say no, because it's just like a hole
in the ground in a drainage ditch. But we've wed,
but we've talked about limestone in the past and how
a lot of people do believe that it has the
maybe not the power, maybe that's not the right word,
but the ability to hold okay, things from the past.

(29:53):
And without being a geologist and knowing more about the
rocks and stuff, I honestly don't know, because it could
be it could be something. But then again, it could
just be a hole in the ground in a retention.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Ditch, in a drainage ditch.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, so who knows.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Maybe there's just a bunch of shady kids down there
doing stuff they're not supposed to be doing.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
I mean, it's pretty well known across the board though
for people in this area that people who shouldn't have
been down there were down there, you know.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
And if it's there like prohibition times, like you're hiding
and running from the law, like cool.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Well not even that, but even in the modern time,
like the ones that I used to go to in Florida,
you'd have to kind of like scout out ahead because
bad people would like to hang out in there.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Right, it's an area out of the way, yeah, cover, So.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
You always have to let people go. You always got
to have to be like on your game when you
go to these places because you just never know who's
in there. But I feel like that's any cave system
anywhere probably in the world.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
I want to go to the big cave here.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
It's I mean, yeah, it's it's way more like mainstream though.
Told schooler, it's not like the caves that I'm talking about,
where like you had to hop a fence behind a
hardware store and go find it.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
I want to take.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
This sounds like a walkway and a door, But the pictures.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
I've seen is like a enormous cave.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
You No, it's cool. It's cool. I'm not saying I
don't want to go, but I'm just saying compared to
like what we're talking about, it's not the same. Like
this is like this is like someplace you stumble across
with your group of friends and you go down there
after you steal your mom's cigarettes and smoking. I never
did that, No, never, But Anyways, it seems more like
that kind of place, So I mean, maybe it's not. Maybe,

(31:35):
if it's not paranormal, I'm sure it is. People down
there just bad people shouldn't be doing things that they're doing.
But it also could be paranormal. So I'm really on
the fence about.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
This one, okay.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
And it is in Texas, and Texas is like part
of the old Last type area. A lot of people
have died there. Native Americans, you know, lived on that
land long before anybody else. There's no telling what went
on there before.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
I get it that there wasn't a retention ditch back then.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Maybe I don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
That's so weird. I can't get over it.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
I gotta see.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
I can't get over it. It's so strange.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
When when did they start digging drainage ditches in America?

Speaker 1 (32:16):
In America we're learning today, friends, No.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
I mean no, it's it's early sixteen hundreds to eighteen hundreds.
Shut up, So, I mean what they had to have
wetland drainages, so no that I mean, legit, this thing
could have been around for a long time.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
But like, do drainage ditches count as like little trenches
that you dig to divert water.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Oh no, I'm talking about like a giant.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
That's what I'm thinking. No, like did back then too,
I would imagine all by hand. That sounds.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Let me look up Pinky's Cave real quick. Okay, Oh,
it's like a it's almost like a concrete corridor.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Oh, looks like a closed off tunnel, like an actual
concrete tunnel.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
That is not what I was expecting.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
It's not a cave. That is not a cave.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
I mean that's what they're calling it. It's not so
it's really what it is is like the graded off
area that the water goes down. It's like the opening.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
It looks like look an underground subway tunnel that's no
longer in use but doesn't have tracks. That's what it
looks like. Doesn't that a cave? I don't.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
I don't know. I mean, look, it's it's got the
name called Pinky's Cave. I don't know how they would
say somebody discovered it it unless maybe it was a
cave at one point and that's what they did to
it later. I don't know, but I mean it looked
like a like a concrete corridor. Some I don't know. Yeah,
I'll put a picture of of it in the video.

(33:43):
So I don't know, but that's it's not a cave.
That's it's not a cave. Very very strange. But so
that's Pinky's Cave. We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna land
that's what it's called. So that's what we're calling it.
We're gonna land on it. We just we don't know
if it's haunted or not. There's no yes it is
or no it isn't. And we just aren't sure. I'd
have to find see if they had pictures from like

(34:05):
before this concrete structure was put up around it, Like
I still think maybe there it was just a cave
at one point.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Okay, and they just kind of turned it into this
man made a drainage area in concrete tunnel.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
That's what I'm going to guess, because I mean, I
had to have gotten the name Pinky's Cave from somewhere,
and that looked fairly newish. I don't know, man, I
don't know who knows, who knows, not me, not you
do you? Who knows? All right? Where can they find us?

long as everything else.

of a dirty stay out the big boys.
