People in the area became intrigued when the place was visited repeatedly by groups of foreigners some of whom claimed to be archeologists. Village elders indicated that the Jews used to hold religious ceremonies inside the cave before the establishment of the state of Israel. Up until recently, the locals believed the cave to be inhabited by evil spirits. It is probably a rumor created by the Jews to keep people away from the cave, the villagers said. It is thought that the cave contained some antiques that were stolen in the past.
