  • In Knaresborough, in Yorkshire, sits Mother Shipton's Cave. Folks there have been charging admission for nearly 400 years, and the star of the show is a "petrifying well". A few folk legends do actually turn out to be true.

    You can preproduce the same effect by supper saturating a glass of very warm water with sugar until no more sugar will dissolve in the water.

Mix that with being a kid with no actual grasp of your current understanding of reality - was it truly an overreaction, or actually the pure fear that came from seeing something you couldn't understand the nature of? 😱

I was fascinated by the items that were hung up that had turned to stone ... Its simply because there are minerals in the water that do petrify those items and in time they do turn to stone. Its science and is very remarkable. Today there are still visitors going to see Mother Shipton's cave ... My husband has fond memories there as it was one of the last places that his father went before, he actually passed away .. Thanks for sharing xx
