Cave of Kelpius @ Wissahickon Valley Park Philadelphia, PA

I imagine you would be a little crept out if you stumbled upon this place by accident. Your walking along the trails and all of a sudden you find this place out of no where. It is definitely creepy. One one the biggest mysteries of the Wissahickon is finding the burial site of Johannes Kelpius. It is believed to be very close to the cave. I highly recommend that you read the book "The Tabernacle on the Wissahickon" by J.A. Weishaar. You want the original copy from 1921 from the Philadelphia library. Check out my ghost stories regarding the tale of the monks. Here is the link.
