Catawba Murder Hole Cave in Botetourt County, Virginia, is an infamous, unique place of danger and beauty. The movie, by David Socky and Marian McConnell, is a 28-minute documentary, complete with drone footage, videos, photographs, original music and a trip into all three levels of the cave.
Viewers will get a bat’s eye view of the cave and the Catawba Valley, and travel into its depths to learn about its history and see some of its stunning formations. Wild caving is a potentially dangerous activity, strenuous and not for everyone — but everyone can enjoy seeing what it looks like from the comfort of their chair!
After the showing, there will be time for Q&A’s; and free information will be available about caves, bats and sinkholes.
Copies of the Murder Hole movie, and the book, will be available for sale. The book is a collection of legends, history of the cave’s early explorers and stories from those who survived accidents in its dark depths.
