err..no its not.

i'd rather have something to end it, like a message from the guy's parents saying that he never returned from the cave, than to be left hanging like that.

The point is that its supposed to be a journal and they dont return from the cave! Read the whole thing next time.

I do kinda wish they'd provided an epilogue of some kind. Apparently the story is adapted from a short story that has an outlandish ending, but the short story doesn't seem to be available online anywhere nowadays.

I read some old comments on some forums online (google "ted the caver") and there are some interesting details showing the origin of this story.

Apparently there is more to the story, and people have read the rest of it, but the links are too old to get the rest of it

Likely a fake story, still a good read. I don't necessarily doubt that something like this could happen. We only know so much about earth.

Alright, I found the original thread but the link to the story is dead. I tried searching on google for the story but I can't find it anywhere.

Here is the original thread:

EDIT: A-ha, found it:

Link to original story (apparently)

No. It's so damn old and so damn boring that it's a wonder it's still around.

fvck...that was the worst thing ever. I read through 30 minutes worth of my time, only to discover it's not scary at all.
