Is Wonder World Cave haunted?
The record holds 1 claim — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed anecdotal. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.
The record — long form
Wonder Cave is the split — the 'earthquake' that's the maker's force, the 'fault visible' that's the ceiling's proof. The 'dry formed' is the rare — the 'only' that's the country's count, the 'no water' that's the cave's birth. The 'whiskey hid' is the used — the 'Bevers' that's the distiller's name, the 'drill fell' that's the discovery's way.
The 'fifty dollars' is the bought — the 'gray horse' that's the price's rest, the 'saddle' that's the deal's completion. The 'first show' is the pioneered — the '1900' that's the opening's year, the 'candlelight' that's the tour's light. Wonder Cave is the ridden — the 'anti-gravity' that's the park's draw, the 'elevator' that's the exit's ride.
The file keeps Wonder Cave: the split rock, the dry formation, the hidden still, and the cheap sale.
Wonder World Cave is the archive's Texas file — the cave an earthquake opened.
Why this file matters
Wonder World Cave is the archive's Texas file — the only quake-made show cave.
A cave keeps its fault — the file's suggestion being that Wonder's hold is the split: the 'earthquake' that's the cave's maker, the 'whiskey' that's the cave's use, and the 'fifty' that's the cave's price.
