Portals to other dimensions, doorways to Hell …
By far the most well-known such mysterious hole first came to
public knowledge on February 21, 1997, when the late, great radio talent Art
Bell, host of the legendary radio show Coast to
Coast AM had a guest join him on the air who called himself Mel
Waters and claimed to own a stretch of secluded rural property in Kittitas
County, Washington that had something strange going on. Waters would over the
course of a series of several shows told an increasingly bizarre tale of a
mysterious hole in the earth that he had found on his property and which seemed
to defy and warp reality as we know it.
The legendary hole was apparently long known in the area as
The Devil’s Hole, and supposedly measures around 9 feet across, with the
strange addition of seemingly hand-placed bricks lining the interior down to a
depth of around 15 feet, after which it drops off into???? Hell????
According to Waters the
hole had been known in the area since humans had first inhabited the region,
and Natives and early settlers found that anything they threw into the hole
would vanish into the yawning void without ever issuing any sound of actually
hitting a bottom of any kind.
The Native people of
the area apparently stayed well away from the cursed hole, and claimed that
animals would not go near it. Waters himself said he began to use the bizarre
hole as a sort of garbage dump, and after never hearing a sound of even the
heaviest objects connecting and no sign of the hole filling up, he became
increasingly obsessed with the idea that it may in fact be bottomless.
Waters
claimed in one interview that a local man had once thrown his recently deceased
dog down into the hole and that it had come back to him from the dead
The
man claims he threw his departed canine down into the hole… one day he was
hunting and he saw the same dog, he had the same collar, he had the same little
metal thing on his collar and he said it was the same dog, now alive that he
threw dead into Mel’s hole.
After
all the interviews on the Art Bell show … Mel became a national and
international folklore … or was he … Mel later claimed due to all the press he
got about “Mel’s hole”… one day he found strange men on this property who claimed
the area was closed off … that a plane crash occurred there and it was under investigation
… yet Mel … saw men with level 4 Bio-hazard containment suits on…
when Mel
pressed the issue he was psychical removed from his own property … which started
a series of really things for Mel .. death threats and him being refused entrance
onto his own property every again … armed guards kept him off the property …
Mel even claimed he was kidnapped once and drugged as he was held hostage … Mel
disappeared … and never returned to the Art Bell show …
Mel claimed it was the government doing this to him … was it … did they throw Mel
into the hole???
in
2008 the tale was reignited when a man claiming to be a tribal medicine man
named Gerald R. Osborne, or also by his tribal name “Red Elk,” came forward to
claim that not only was Mel’s story true Red Elk would go on to speculate that it was the
entrance to some sort of underground UFO base, and would even claim that he had
once seen a UFO hovering over the pit.
What
the Hell is in that Pit … hope I never find out!!!!
Although Mel’s Hole is by far the most well-known it Is not the
first … In ancient Rome and Greece tales of sinister bottomless holes with
supernatural qualities were all the rage, and were well-witnessed by scores of
people. Often there would be actual temples, shrines, and even amphitheaters
erected at these “Gates of Hell,” and in many cases animals would be dropped
down towards these fissures to suddenly drop dead as if by some evil force.
