I got few places in Blair county I’ve always find artifacts in if your ever in Blair county id be glad show you some cool areas and i know a place had done walls asking a path that got washed out but some of its still there..
Dents run gold? Cant wait for the video! My father told me the story back in the mid 70s! Lol Really stirred up my interests when the fbi and finders keepers searched dents run and or did an actual dig this past winter. Everything has been hush hush ever since!
On his death bed he told that he has buried some of his stolen loot in a cave along Forbes road. He escaped from the authorities on more than 1 occasion. He knew the PA cave systems better than anyone.
Maybe the cave you’re looking for is INSIDE the spring house with the locked, green door and that’s why a mere spring house is so secured. Do you have any idea who built the spring houses, when and why? Kind of odd just to come into a woods and build two spring houses especially so close together.
Maybe they built the upper springhouse in the mouth of the cave. That might be why there’s a door on it.
I like your beard. It’s nice that you keep it neat.
Steel Mountain, Blair County PA…Lewis’s cave. It’s a local story that everyone knows around these parts. My grandfather said his grandfather talked about it! Located somewhere near the old portage national RR

Hello, my name is Ryan from the Legend Hunters Films and we have chatted before. I lost email so, forgive me. You were nice enough to give me some information on the David Lewis Cave at one time. I"m actually doing a documentary film on Lewis at the moment and I wanted to ask you a few things. If you could email me at legendhunters12@yahoo.com that would be great. Thank you.
Is it possible that the upper building with the green door is covering the cave? The spring would be near it (inside or below it in the other building). The closed door would prevent others from exploring it.
There is a Davey Lewis’s cave in Bedford pa down near Bedford Springs resort. Al old timer told me about it decades ago. He said that Davey Lewis robbed a bunch of banks around here also and hid in the cave. He said that they never did recover the loot that he stole. Local Police supposedly went back in roughly 4 miles searching for him but got stuck. It’s supposed to come out near the Bedford Enbridge LP pumping station which is 12 miles to the south.
Me, my brother and a friend explored a small part of it back in the early 90s in the Fall. Warning it is an ACTIVE Black Bear den in the late fall to mid Spring.
I found your channel about a month ago and liked and subscribed right away . I’m from Somerset Co. PA. Love what your doing and watch ya every day. Keep up the great work love it!
Colonel Denning state park is currently under going extensive renovations. The campground is closed all season and the picinic area where the flat Rock trail begins is closed. The trail relocation is not permanent.
So one of the old timer locals stated that the cave was blown up. It was to protect from rock slides. HOWEVER….there is another cave in that area. History says the dude who lived in it was a sniper taking out indians. One saved by the guy wrote about scalps lining the cave.
I have been starring at this location for 20 years as I live in the valley from flat rock. Been to this location. Quite a hike. Plenty of rattle snakes in the area. Some black bear and mountain lions rumored to be in the area. Be careful there.
I am the 1st cousin 10 generations removed of Joseph Doan. I’ve research my family on and off for years. I sadly no longer live in PA. Thank you for the videos. I miss those hills!

Just found ur channel while watching Wind cave vids. Great channel. I was at the wind cave today. Im from Lancaster county
The area beneath Flat Rock is called the Devil’s Turnip Patch. That’s the area you can see when approaching from Newville.
Instead of a flag, could the signals have been sent using a clothesline, with different coloured garments?

I was told in the 70s that the cave had already been destroyed .
cave behind the green door?
There’s a story of Lewis in Bedford about a lost cache of his along the Juniata River.
On his death bed he told that he has buried some of his stolen loot in a cave along Forbes road. He escaped from the authorities on more than 1 occasion. He knew the PA cave systems better than anyone.
Thanks
You ever find a date for that photo?

Thanks Cliff. Really like these legends. The mushrooms were really pretty.

thank you for sharing..
Cool video. I cannot help but think that you must have a great and honest mechanic to keep your truck in such good condition with all your travels!!!
be careful people go missing out there all the time

I’m looking for the Cave Hill in Carlisle. Any specific information would be great.legendhutners12@yahoo.com
Those stone steps near you were probably pieces of the cave.

Cool legend! You should go there with your metal detector sometime! Thanks for sharing!

The crazy thing is If you look closely on Google maps Satellite view you can clearly see the cave starting at Davey Lewis’s cave entrance that continues down the ridge at-least a few miles. Looks like a depression caused by a large crack in the Granite. The trees along this line are more of a Green/Brown shade compared to the rest which makes it stick out fairly well on Google Maps.
