 Dana Toth says some know the Lovelock Cave for some amazing stories. We know Lovelock Cave is associated with some lore of giants. In 1911, they did a dig into the cave, but they didn't have someone who knew how to properly articulate the bones. So they were not putting the sockets correctly. They added inches and centimeters upon inches and centimeters at each joint. Add to this previous lore from the Paiute tribe, who talked of red-haired giants called Si Te Ka in the area, and you have a full-blown case of tall tales that spread quickly.
