0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome back to Scary Interesting. In this video, we're going to go over two |
0:04.9 | disturbing incidents where cavers went into the water deep inside caves and then something horrifying |
0:09.5 | happened to each of them. As always, view discretion is advised. |
0:26.6 | The entrance to Climax Cave doesn't look like much from the outside. It's just a yawning sinkhole tucked away in the pine woods of Decatur County, Georgia. |
0:31.6 | There are no signs or even hints of the vast labyrinth hidden below ground. |
0:35.6 | For most people, it's just another patch of private land |
0:38.2 | outside the town of Climax. For cavers, however, as is often the case, a Climax Cave is |
0:43.1 | something else entirely. Bruce Brewer probably knew this cave better than anyone. At 33 years old, |
0:48.4 | he was already a 10-year veteran of the caving world in 2003, and as is also often the case, |

1:07.9 | Bruce had been through it more than a hundred times, crawling, climbing, and squeezing his way through nearly eight miles or 13 kilometers of map passages. |
1:15.1 | This makes it the second longest dry cave in the entire state. |
1:17.9 | Dry in this case is a relative turn though because although it lacks the steady streams |
1:21.5 | and flowing rivers of wetter caves, there are still pools of water throughout. |
1:25.2 | The entrance itself is a massive sinkhole that drops 30 feet or |
1:28.2 | nearly 10 meters. Three main pasturways sprawl out from there, each with their own unique features. |
1:33.5 | One is a wide hole that needs to be rigged with rope. Another is a chimney tube, narrow and slick |
1:38.2 | that forces cavers to suspend themselves in midair. And then there's the shaft. This route |
