    My guess is that since it typically had a bench at the end, it was used by people to consume drugs/mushrooms in a ritualistic event and exit as a form of rebirth while still high as fuck.

        Eating mushrooms in a tiny cave has been going on for centuries, so yes it indeed had, and currently does, have historical records.
