I was in contact with Scott Wolter about a cave in NY
3 December 2014
Scott Wolter has pictures of a cave which was sealed in the 1930's by the Scottish man who owned the property. By a Stone Mason because too many kids would go in and the ceiling was too low to get back into it. Collapsed roof of main entrance. My Uncle John E. Vileno was 8 years old when he crawled under this with 3 friends same age with kerosene lanterns. They found skeletons and many confusing chambers with strange stone axes and other weapons. The Cave system has underground rivers. and they emerged from Starting at Rockland place New Rochelle,NY entrance miles away in Mamaroneck, NY. Many years later the new England thruway was constructed in 1958, When they Blasted in New Rochelle, NY windows broke in Mamaroneck. My uncle wrote an article in the Standard Star. Explaining this was a massive tunnel used by the Underground Railroad during the civil war! I recently learned there was a group in Mamaroneck youths called the river rats. near the Train station. intensely secretive about their spot they partied at. and My uncle said they came out of this cave in 1930 near the Mamaroneck Train Station. He did say he remembered skeletons. and reading an account of early settlers finding a giant mound of clam shells on a nearby beach. 25' high 30'dia.Scott has my Number.
