As a child, Tom Riddle and some other children were taken by his orphanage to a place nearby the cave for an outing. He took two children, Dennis Bishop and Amy Benson to the cave and terrorised them to the point that the two children were unable to speak of what happened for a time after it happened. It is likely he magicked their way down to the cave scaring the other children in the process, as the children had no solid proof that they were not going to fall and get hurt. The matriarch of the orphanage stated that after the outing Dennis and Amy were never the same.
