Colebrook Cave - For almost two hundreds years, there have been rumors of a vast cavern hidden in the side of a mountain in the town of Colebrook. Legend has it that in certain parts of the cave, it is about 80 feet wide and up to 30 feet high. It supposedly lies inside a cliff about 100 feet high with several giant boulders at it's base. The entrance to this cave is small, but large enough for a young adult to enter. Stories relay that the cave might reside in Knapp Hill or another place called the Witches Retreat. For the last few decades, curious explorers have tried to find this elusive cave. So far, no one has found it, or if they have they're not telling.
