Eclipse Cave
My brother thought he I should explore this issue, as it could be a fun way to spend some time. I talked to a few people and looked over some records but I quickly decided that I did not want to pursue this further.
As I explained to him, I deal in the facts of history not in superstitious or unexplainable magical events.
Manifestation
During a solar eclipse, the entrance to the caves becomes visible for the duration. Legend tells that there are untold riches here but no one really knows, anyone who has ever entered these caves has not returned as the cave has closed before they came back to the entrance.
Localization
The cave is located within the Southern Mountain Range although the exact location has been hidden to prevent people attempting to steal the riches or risk their own life in the process.
Notes
I have never been here, only heard the legend, so there is every possibility that it does not really exist at all. That said I can see some compelling evidence that it does.
First, there is a large network of caves in the mountains which people have lived in over the years and it is possible that there is still wealth stored within them. However, the likelihood that any of these caves "only appear" at the whim of some celestial body seems unlikely.
I think that a more logical explanation is that someone stumbled into it in the poor lighting of an eclipse and then couldn't find it again so made up the story of this mythical cave. This could also explain the treasure allegedly hidden here, if they left their possessions here but then could never find it again.
