Haunted Cave Legend in Old Brighton Becomes Town Folklore
In 1617 or 1818 Old Brighton residents faced a claim from a roaming Indian that his tribe once held the land and hid four ride rocks near Braden arm. A search led to a cave by Beaver where eerie noises and volcanic sounds spooked a militia captain and townsfolk. Torchlight chaos, clanking chains, and a deadly panic sent many fleeing. Sheriff Wallace, then young and playful, joined the expedition. The tale, later dampened by Adams dam and town shifting, lingered as the “Haunted Cave” legend.
