Fae Traps on Horn Hollow Trail

Carter Caves, Kentucky
05/2023

I went to Carter Caves in Kentucky with friends to camp and hike the Horn Hollow Trail as well as explore the cave that is open for self guided tours with a permit. This trail and cave had to of been one of the strangest I've been to. The trail is considered moderate but there are steep drop offs and cliffs. There were numerous fae traps. If you don't know what fae traps are they can take a few different forms. On this trail they were hanging branches and vines that would form a circle to walk through. Sounds innocent enough but they are traps. On this trail they were easy to avoid but as we got deeper into the woods and closer to the cave they got more dangerous. Some went down smaller paths off the main trail and if you weren't paying attention you could have easily gone off trail and gotten lost. Others led right off cliff edges. We eventually came to one that went across the whole trail. Avoiding it went one step off the cliff plunging down a few hundred feet. My friends and I all agreed that the fae in this area were up to something more than just tricks. It felt downright malevolent. The energy here was also very strange. For being a busy campground we had the whole trail to ourselves and it was very silent, like the forest absorbed all the energy around us. The caves here are also known for goblins although we didn't encounter any.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
