The Native Americans and Howe Caverns
Celebrated American caverns, especially Mammoth, Wyandot, and Luray: Together with historical, scientific, and descriptive notices of caves and grottoes in other lands.
He also added this sketch of Crystal Lake.
In it he writes:
"The swiftness of the cave stream, and its liability to sudden overflow, must have prevented the aborigines from making this cavern a place either of residence or sepulture. It me be doubted, indeed, if they knew of its existence. Few animal remains have been found here. Large numbers of baths, however, hibernate in its chambers, clinging in clusters, like swarms of bees."
Hovey was, however, most likely wrong in his assumption that the Native Americans did not know of the caves existence. When Lester Howe and his family settled their farm, they were told stories of the "Otsgaragee" translated "Cave of the Great Galleries", as well as the "blowing rock", a rock said to give off a cool wind. When Howe finally did find that "blowing rock", he found the caves.

Hall Of The Mountain King
Savatage's music video for Hall Of The Mountain King was mostly filmed in Howe Caverns. This clip is not great, but you can see the cave, albeit a bit dark.
Take nothing but photos.
Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time.
Midnight's Lair
By: Richard Laymon
Richard Laymon's horror novel, Midnight's Lair, is based off Howe Caverns and the Howe Cavern Hotel. The name of the cave was obviously changed so as not to scare off tourists, as it is fiction after all.
A sudden power failure traps a group of tourists deep below ground in the subterranean world of Mordock's Cave, with the only escape route through a sealed-off wall, but behind that wall lurks an obscene evil that has been waiting for years to escape.
