A few times I've been in caverns it was cool.... One time though I went in this little cave maybe the size of a small bathroom but the walls were closer to the ground. The sides of the cave were COVERED in grasshoppers..... that was scary. EW I hate to think about it!! It was dark too!! But most are awesome!

I've been in a lot of caves actually. Both the kind open to tours and the much more fun (and dangerous) ones you need to explore yourself. Some caves are quite shallow, some so shallow most of us wouldn't call them caves (see Old Man's Cave in Ohio for a prime example), others go on for mile after mile (Mammoth Cave in Kentucky). The type open for tours are hardly creepy at all (and thus less fun), the other kind are dark (no installed lighting) and yes, kind of creepy (and thus fun).
Note on exploring caves. Make sure you are with someone (or better yet, several someone's ) who knows what they are doing. I wasn't kidding about the dangerous part. And be sure to wear clothes you don't mind get dirty, wet and quite possibly ripped.

I was in Germany on a high school class trip, I was about 16 years old, we stayed at a Youth Hostel on the River Rhein. After we had explored what the hostel had for us we became intrigued about the vast surrounding areas that were "Verboten" (Forbidden) with razer wire and walls. Well, long story short, we snuck through and while exploring out in the woods we came upon a large hole (perhaps a WWII bomb crater?) with a large tree growing out of it, we crawled down the tree into the earth and found a labyrinth of old Nazi caves and tunnels stretching out in all directions, we were completely unprepared so we didnt have flashlights or cameras with us (this was back in 89'), but we did have lighters, we found blown open doors, scattered papers, desks, etc, alot of it had swastikas and other "official" Nazi markings. It was as if we were the first people to have stepped foot here since the war! Astonishingly we didnt take anything to prove what we had seen, like I said we were just young kids without an inkling as to how important and amazing this was, we just thought it was cool.
We snuck our way back to the hostel with the idea of getting flashlights, cameras, etc and coming back. But as we came across we got caught by the hostel manager, and he got extremely upset saying that he would have us arrested if we tried sneaking back, he called the Polizei who had a couple of cops unbelievably guarding our entrance all night! We never made it back, but I've always said I want to make that trip again some day, and this time I'll come prepared. I talked about the experience with my exchange student family & was told that I probably had stumbled across one of millions of Nazi sites that had simply been closed off, the Germans are still deeply embarrassed by thier actions in WWII & that is why it provoked such a response.

Yes, and I do so at least once a year. As for how far it goes, it depends on the cave. Some of them are a mile long or more, some are only a few hundred feet deep. No, it's never been creepy at all. Infact, it's amazingly soothing.
