| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome back to Scary Interesting. |
| 0:03.7 | In this video, we're going to over four horrifying cave stories. |
| 0:07.3 | As always, viewer discretion is strongly advised. |
| 0:19.8 | By the afternoon of Tuesday, July 1st, 1975, a holiday weekend underground was almost over. |
| 0:26.6 | Several groups of cavers from Ontario had just spent four days in West Virginia, making the most of the region's caves. |
| 0:32.6 | For one of these groups, there was time for one last stop before the trip home. |
| 0:36.6 | Their last excursion would be in Barnes Pit in Pocahontas County. |

| 1:16.0 | several large rocks shifted and one enormous boulder crashed onto George. This then pinned him |
| 1:21.7 | against the rock on the opposite side of the opening. It came to rest across George's chest |
| 1:26.7 | and abdomen, trapping him upright. Then |
| 1:29.3 | nearby, another tall slab of stone appeared to settle in place against the first. The |
| 1:34.3 | boulder sitting across George's body was later estimated to weigh around two tons, and no one there |
