ASMR: Build up Scratching in a CAVE! Camera tapping - Rock scratching, and tapping 

You guys 🙃 I seriously had no idea hand oils alter rock formations. We were given a speech by a guide at the beginning of the tour which did not include “do not touch formations” I can’t prove that to you but that’s the best I can do. Also I showed signs the entire time of which nothing stated do not touch at least from what I remember. I promise i would have never touched and done asmr in a cave if this information was readily given at the time of going in :( It was an honest mistake paired with lack of education at the cave and lack of my background knowledge on rock formations. I understand why it seems insensitive looking in. hurts my heart because I may have been ignorant in the fact formations can be altered by hand oil but that does not correlate to insensitivity. Y’all I just didn’t know, I wish I did, I’m sorry :(

Its not your fault You werent informed about not touching anything, and I wouldnt doubt that You werent The only Person to have touched them, or that will touch them, especially without The do not touch signs or anything

im sorry, this cave has full on stairs and signs built into it, i don't think a lady running her nails over the cool rocks will damage it anymore than it ready had been. construction workers are very rough with their work

imagine you're on a field trip with your schoolmates and you see and woman with a camera tapping and rubbing parts of the cave whispering to herself

I thought the cones were weed… 🥲💔

I would be so nervous someone saw me doing this lol. I love your asmr

For those wondering what the signs say: 2:27 'As you look around, you will see many strange mineral formations on the ceiling, floor, and walls of the cave. These formations are made as water from the surface becomes slightly acidic as it makes its way into the void of the cave. The water dissolves and erodes the limestone rock, releasing calcite crystals that have been trapped in the limestone for millions of years. The water drops transport these calcite crystals into the cave where they are deposited throughout the caverns as stalactites, stalagmites, and on the walls and rocks as flowstone, which the Ice Cream Wall is a perfect example of. The mineral calcite is pure white, but as you can see on the Ice Cream Wall, many different colours are present. This is a result of other minerals and mud naturally staining the calcite crystals.' 2:47 'This compound stalagmite is a nice example of pure white calcite. Many people think it resembles the houses that the Smurfs lived in hence the name. The difference between stalagmites and stalactites is that stalagmites grow from the ground up and stalactites hang tight to the ceiling and grow down. Eventually if theh meet, a column is formed. If you look around you can see some examples of each right here.' 4:37 (shown clearer but I'll still put it down) 'This formation has stopped growing because calcite-rich water no longer drips onto it, so it is ok to gently touch the formation to see what calcite feels like. Formations grow extremely slow, and in this case it takes between 100-125 years to form one cubic inch of a calcite formation!' 6:39 'This column is a stunning example of pure calcite. The reason the formation seems to sparkle is because you are looking at calcite crystals, which reflect light. Columns form as a salactite and a stalagmite slowly grow together. Once the two formations touch they continue to grow wider and larger.' 8:16 'This column stands 40 feet tall and has a circumference of 25 feet. This is the largest formation in Lost World Caverns. It is estimated that this formation is 5 million years old.' 11:19 (shown clear as well) 'If you listen closely you can hear the sound of a stream. This stream flows down the right side of the room and disappears underneath the Snowy Chandelier. The underground course of the stream is unknown from this point until it eventually reappears on the surface at the largest spring in West Virginia, which is 8 miles away from Lost World Caverns.' 11:49 'For the adventurous type we offer cave expeditions that take you 1¼ mile further into the cave. Crawling, climbing, and scrambling over rocks, mud, and water awaits you deeper into the cave where there are no lights other than the one on the helmet we will provide you with. You will be led by our expert cave guides on a 4 hour trip through passages with names like The Squeeze Box, The Long Crawl, and The Birth Canal, so you can imagine the fun and adventure that waits for you on the wild cave expedition!' 12:48 (again.. same thing) 'This massive salactite is estimated to weigh 30 tons. This is the largest stalactite in the cave, and thought to be among thr largest compound stalactites ever discovered. As you can see, the Snowy Chandelier is directly above a large stalagmite bekkw, the formations grow ever closer to touching and then becoming a column.' 13:08 'In the late 1960s two teeth and a partial femur bone were discovered in the back section of the cave by members of the National Speleological Society. The bones were discovered to have belonged to the extinct species Arctodus pristinus, the short-faced cave bear. In February 2015 cave guide Kyle Mills climbed up to a high ledge and discovered a tooth, skull, femur, vertebrae, and other bones that were determined to belong to a second prehistoric cave bear. These bones were carbon dated to be 32,000 years old! If you want to learn more about the prehistoric cave bears found at Lost World Caverns, please visit our national history museum.' 13:35 'This stalagmite is approximately 500,000 years old and stands 28 feet tall with a base diameter of 2.5 feet and is 4 feet in diameter at the top. This formation is famous for being where in 1971 Bob Addis, a local cave explorer, secured a platform to the top of the War Club and set a Guinness World Record for 'stalagmite sitting' when he stayed on top for 15 days, 23 hours, and 22 minutes.' 14:53 (yet again lol) 'This formation has no name since it inspires many different images. Some people see a rabbit, some a ballerina. Use your imagination and see if you can come up with a name. We greatly appreciate your visit to Lost World Caverns and hope this was a unique experience for you.'

AHH THE PREVIEW IS SO NICE

this was SOOOOO freaking soothing, ive had a headache all day!!! I kept thinking the entire time, wow I wonder if people actually lived in those caves like 500,000 years ago! lol

i could be the only one, but hearing the faint sound of the little girl and other people talking in the distance echoing was soooo lofi and made all the tapping feel more calming and tingly

Guys the entire cave has been fitted with stairs, walkways, decor, etc.. I think all the damage that could be done already has. This cave will likely not be growing for an extremely long time, if it even does at all.

ok but who has ever done this exactly, nobody (i mean this in a good way, trying to say they're original)

This was a really cool concept! Another thing is I know hand oils can cause damage but I’m pretty sure nails would cause very minimal if any. As well as no guide or sign saying otherwise, so many people probably have touched the walls before. Either way I do think if guides are trying to preserve these places they should at least bar off or put up some sort of sign letting people know they aren’t to be touched. I don’t think it’s anyone who touched the walls fault if not properly informed. :)

honestly compared to the walkways and huge manmade systems in this cave, you're just another form of erosion like the water or anything else. i'm sure plenty of people touch the hell out of those stones, and honestly? they're just leaving marks on the history of the cave, like any other animal might. disturbing nature is one thing but just existing in it and interacting with it isn't something to be guilty over, unless it's actively harming another species.

Girl you trust your nails more than I trust myself 😭

I could post something long & convoluted to describe how I needed this, but instead I’m just gonna say /I Needed This/ also, mega bonus points for the creativity? nearly 10 yrs of watching ASMR & I’ve never seen anything like this before!

Just gonna leave timestamps for myself for some moments where she scratched the rocks 1:14 2:11 4:43 5:07 5:28 6:02 6:14 6:19 7:26 7:59 8:28 8:58 13:20 15:07 15:42 Some lightbulb tapping cause why not 8:34 9:38 10:49

I almost fell asleep just during the previews 😴

to skip to the beginning of the video: 1:10

I wonder what the person watching the cameras is thinking seeing this lol

You should do natural nails more often! I love how it sounds “deeper”? If that makes sense haha

Me - *scraching every thing * Guards- what the hell is she doing 😨 Me- 🤫😒

15:44 so many tingles scratching underwater

Omg I loved that “scratchy rock”

why does every gift shop everywhere have that same nag champa incense lmao

Wait omg.. is this one of the caves in VA or WV?? If so then I went to this and some others throughout my childhood lol

15:00-16:00 love the water sounds super soothing with the quiet dripping noises and the occasional scratch

this is a great video and i understand you didn’t know touching stuff in caves was bad and idk if that cave is as strict as the ones i’ve been in but you at 15:50 touching the water that like probably never been touched made me laugh so hard😭

when i went to a cave we weren’t allowed to touch anything

Literally on their website for the tours, it shows people touching the rocks and formations with their hands and sometimes arms that still produce the same oils so…. I think it’s important to know, but now you do. You didn’t do this with malice intent nor did you do this because you don’t care. This particular place did not say to not touch. That’s how they run things and that’s also on them for not being aware or caring and not telling customers.

The microorganisms under her nails after this: 👁👄👁 👁👄👁 👁👄👁

Bro when did they add an update where there aren't scary cave noises in Minecraft 😳😳😳

10:27 Well, it's certainly better than keeping wrong. I'll see myself out.

So crazy I recognized this so quickly, Lost world Caverns in wv! I live in wv pretty close to here growing up we always took our field trips here. When I was super pregnant we came here and I walked my baby out😂 about died going up so many steps. The people that run it are awesome they also own dogs that roam the property 💛

i don’t know why but caves to me are just so beautiful that i get overwhelmed :)

Some timestamps I thought were kinda funny for some reason 1:07 3:58 4:16 5:03 6:33 7:49 9:01 10:09 12:22 13:08 13:27 this one is just cool. I like how the top looks like it's watching something with it's 👁️ 13:53 Srry this is so long😅

This video is truly one of a kind I haven’t found one other video that has this many rock textures and sounds, been watching this video every night 😭

Wow! This is some high-level effort. Thank you for the incredible tingles. Also, I find it humorous to imagine that the cave spirits looking at you weirdly while you tap and scratch the cave. 😂

GIRL HOWD U GET DOWN THERE😭😭

13:22-13:27 was short but so good. lol i never comment but i had to it was too good. 😌💜

EEVY sounds were AMAZING ugh but was anyone else’s tryptophobia triggered 🤣?? I couldn’t watch it I just had to set my phone down, close my eyes and listen because I couldn’t deal with the all the holes and openings. I did however play it twice because the sounds were so tingly ♥️

You're so brave doing this in front of strangers 😭

This is the most original ASMR video i’ve ever seen 😍

5:29 incredible 😍

You go on a trip to see mind blowing caves and one of your first thoughts is to film some ASMR. I spoil us, you do.

I have a really really really hard time with getting tingles but every time I watch your videos I get a lot of tingles you deserve way more subscribers🥺🥺🥺

In conclusion : A lot of us likes those water sounds :0

I could not,, I'd literally cry from my crippling claustrophobia

So many great sounds that I'd like to hear for dozens of minutes singularly

What cave is this? I feel like I recognize parts of it…

tbh the rocks don’t look real and if they were hand oil doesn’t affect formation i asked my aunt she works with caves and stuff and she puts her hands all over it and it doesn’t affect the formation of how its supposed to form (edit: all of the signs said all the formations where done being formed so they were ok to touch so dw u don’t have to apologize❤️but im also pretty sure those rocks are fake❤️) (other edit: yep a few were fake the signs say where the real rocks are located so u can touch then freely)

Lol the preview isn't that long, it was a perfect amount of time. Besides I've seen longer ones! 😋

this is literally the coolest thing ever! thanks so much bby💗💗 super tingly btw🥰❤️

Why can’t I find and timestamp where I stack the rock on the other rocks 🪨

4:38

I’m guessing the next video is tapping and scratching in the Grand Canyons 😂

Cave, 20 million BCE: I will form intricate rock patterns through millions of years of water movement and air flow. ASMRtist, 2021 CE: I like this scratchy rock. Great video, loved it!

I’m so conflicted. This is tingly AF but I’m cringing so hard as a natural scientist 😩

15:46 i love how you scratched underwater it was amazing

This is incredibly tingly, I can’t find the right words even 👏🏼

I love long previews, it's like a mini fast asmr video 😴

I keep coming back to this vid, it's an amazing place. Don't let to the comments craping on it get to you, that place was meant to experience caves and what is in them. There is plenty of places protected but this place they wanted people to feel, see and experience what it all is, you hurt nothing. I noticed when you look it up they also offer cave delving - something they are keen to ignore. Stay awesome Eevy xx

05:30 ~ 05:48

I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTED TO JUST *slorp* THE WATER IT LOOKED SO CLEAN AND CLEAR AND COLD OMGGGG

Mmmmm love ittt. Wait one question... r u allowed to touch the rocks cuz when I go in caves we weren’t allowed to touch them but still great vid

Is that a real cave? Why does it look so fake 😭🧍🏻‍♀️

I'm just imagining your nails after all that scratching lol

My mom: dont touch anything you dont know how many hands have been on it. Also me:

Cool spawn point area

I went there too its so fun! By the way great asmr!

This is another level of asmr

who’s here from phoebe

I love all the camera tappies in between! The cave is great but that might be my favorite part haha

it’s a tourist attraction…thousands of people ran their hands across everything way b4 she did 💀

when you traced your friends shoes i got tingles idk why LOL edit: just finished the video & this was one of my favorites that you’ve done!

Eevy has such unpredictable videos ! Today she tapping at home , and tomorrow in a cave 😂 love you Eevy ❤

this is the most unexpected thing ever

Omg the kicking in the face had me wheezing 😂😭

No one: Me: Okay the Goliath structure is lookin cool, now wheres David and his sling shot? 😂

Extremely original! I love it! There weren't any "no touching" signs. Ppl touch things in this cave all day everyday! If the ppl who look after the cave cared, there'd be signs. Just don't touch displays 🤷 it's only certain rock and things that will be effect by touching. It's rocks. Not living. Not scarce.

Wtf you got the caves and cliffs update early

Phoebe Bridgers

Ohh, I just woke up, saw notification for this video and it looks like I'll go back to sleep;)) And btw Eevy you’re so creative,I think I never seen asmr in the cave before!!😍 sorry for my English

phoebe bridgers shoutout 😳😳😳

This was literally so relaxing and the rock tapping and scratching was so relaxing!

Random Timestamps: 3:12 7:35 10:27 5:04 14:43 9:13 12:51

There is nothing this woman would not scratch or tap!

SO COOL 😎 . LOVE THESE OUTDOOR VIDEOS AND THIS CAVE IS SO BEAUTIFUL

‘KICK. KICK YOU INNA FACE’ The fact that you’re not supposed to touch, and she’s just touching EVERYTHING in such a fast way LMAOOO I’m cacklinggggg. But it’s okay, you didn’t know ❤️ and they literally built stairs in that bitch so… it’s touched all over anyhow

My pica wants me to come eat things from the cave.

Man, the new Minecraft update is WILD

200th time watching this lol so good

wherever this is makes me wanna go back to luray caverns, i love it there!!

Love this! Takes me back to when I went to Mammoth Cave in grade school!

I used to be a tour guide for a cave in PA and i can’t watch solely because my biggest rule was “DONT TOUCH THE ROCKS!!!” - that being said, it’s a rule because otherwise LOTS of people would touch it and the oil builds up over time the more people touch it. you didn’t know, and ultimately one person isn’t going to affect it drastically. however, the guides/leaders of the cave should have that rule, and if not then it’s on the owner.

hiii omg this is so cool i look forward to the tingles :))

Sheer joy! Thank you for this trigger sounds upload it's tingly good fun! ❤️🔟🏆🥇

“I need to get a thumbnail🖐🏾” hahahahaha too good

17:47 ❣️

Thank you for taking us with you! I loved this 🥰🥰
