Sybil's Cave is a manmade cave that was excavated 30 feet to a natural spring in 1832, and then an elaborate Gothic-style entrance was built in front of it. Visitors could sit down at a table and spend a penny on a cool glass of spring water. The real surge of visitors came in the summer of 1841 when Mary Rogers was found murdered near the cave, a crime which to this day has not been solved. The area turned to industry and the cave was destroyed in the 1930's. Only in 2007 was the cave again excavated after some explorers rediscovered it. It's located in Hoboken.
