Old Man's Cave


Old Man Rowe, the namesake of Old Man's Cave, is supposed to haunt the entrance to the cave, guarding his buried treasure. Old Man's Cave is something of a misnomer, however, since it's not a cave but an area in the Hocking Hills full of sandstone cliffs and chasms.

Salt Pete is a triple-decker cave located in the Old Man's Cave region. A man named Charlie chopped off his wife's head and that of her lover and threw them from the top. His ghost can be heard chopping wood there at night.
