00:00There's a lot of weird stuff about this hole. Dogs are afraid of this hole. Animals are afraid of this hole.
00:05And he said, in fact, one of my neighbors once told me that his dog died and he threw the dog down the hole.
00:12And he said the next morning that dog was on his floor.
00:15New drone research in Mel's hole has confirmed the chilling discoveries that many feared were true.
00:21The once strange pit in eastern Washington, first found by Mel Waters, has revealed even more unsettling things.
00:27The latest footage shows disturbing evidence that has left scientists deeply concerned.
00:33What could these new findings mean for the strange events and government cover-ups surrounding this bottomless pit?
00:39We will discover the terrifying truth behind Mel's hole that will make you question the reality of our planet.
00:45The pit that never ends.
00:48In a secluded spot in eastern Washington, there's a pit that keeps everyone guessing.
00:52It's tucked away among the gentle hills and has become quite the topic of conversation.
00:57People call it Mel's hole and it's famous for being inexplicably deep and for stirring up a lot of curiosity and stories.
01:05Denise Whitaker from KFOR made her way there to try and figure out what's really going on with this confusing pit.
01:11When they sent a camera down into the dark, the images that came back amazed people all over the world.
01:17But what the camera captured in the depths of Mel's hole is just the beginning.
01:21What they found next will leave you questioning everything.
01:25This strange hole is on the Melot property, located west of a little town called Ellensburg, right by the Manastash Ridge.
01:33It looks like any other hole in the ground, like a well, but nobody uses it to get water.
01:38Instead, it turned into a sort of trash pit over time.
01:41All kinds of stuff have been thrown into it, from everyday trash to busted up machines and old car tires.
01:47Strangely, no matter how much stuff gets dumped in, the hole just never seems to get full.
01:53This got Mel, the guy who owns the land, really interested in finding out just how deep the pit goes and what might be inside it.
02:01Weird things started to happen around this pit.
02:03Mel noticed his dogs wouldn't go near it.
02:05They seemed scared or cautious.
02:08He also picked up strange, unexplained signals on his radio when he was close to the hole, which seemed to have no end.
02:15Stories about Mel's hole spread far and wide.
02:18In 2017, some bold researchers found the hole and decided to take a closer look by lowering a camera down into it.
02:26The things they saw were so shocking that they had to get out fast, realizing they might be in danger.
02:31Come along as we dive into the tales and brave attempts of those trying to figure out the real deal with Mel's hole.
02:39The pit, famously known as Mel's hole, isn't just a regular hole.
02:43It's a big round gap about nine feet across, framed by a stone wall.
02:48This wall goes down about 15 feet before everything below it turns pitch black.
02:53It's been the local dumping spot for a long time, not just for Mel Waters and his wife,
02:58but also for their neighbors, even before Mel came to live there.
03:01What's odd is that when you throw something into the hole, there's no sound,
03:06no echoes or any hint that the items have hit the bottom, which baffles everyone.
03:11Driven by curiosity and a desire to solve problems, Mel Waters, who loves fishing, decided to take matters into his own hands.
03:19He really wanted to know just how deep this strange hole was.
03:22He took his fishing gear, tied a one-pound weight to his fishing line, and started lowering it down into the pit.
03:29He was completely shocked that after letting out 4,500 feet of line, the weight still hadn't reached the bottom,
03:36leaving the true depth of the hole a huge question still unanswered.
03:41Not giving up, Mel pulled the fishing line back up.
03:44This time, he attached a pack of Lifesavers candy instead of the heavy weight,
03:48hoping to maybe find water way down in the hole.
03:51He dropped the Lifesavers way down deep, but when he pulled them back up, they were totally dry.
03:57Not even a speck of water on them.
04:00Undiscouraged, Mel kept trying.
04:02He tied more and more fishing line together, sending it down into the darkness until he had used almost 10,000 feet of line.
04:08That's nearly two miles straight down.
04:11But still, he couldn't find a bottom.
04:13Even after using a total of 880,000 feet of line, that's over 166 miles.
04:19He found nothing.
04:20The hole just seemed to go on and on, keeping whatever it was hiding to itself.
04:25But this odd pit was just the start.
04:28What Mel found next would change everything he thought he knew.
04:31When the military took Mel's land, Mel noticed other strange things during his tests.
04:36His dogs wanted nothing to do with the hole.
04:38They'd pull back, digging their paws into the ground, refusing to go near it.
04:43It was as if they sensed something off, feeling some kind of invisible threat.
04:48And it wasn't just the dogs acting weird.
04:50The area around the hole was eerily quiet.
04:53No birds or insects.
04:55Although birds would fly over it as if the hole didn't bother them from up high.
04:59When Mel talked to his neighbors about this, they all agreed their dogs acted the same way.
05:04Then, one neighbor shared a chilling story.
05:07This man had recently lost his dear dog, and in his grief, had thrown the dog's body into the hole.
05:13But a few days later, he saw the same dog wearing its familiar collar, alive and running through the woods.
05:19He called to the dog, but it acted as if it didn't know him, as if it had come from somewhere else.
05:24Maybe even another dimension.
05:26Could that really be true?
05:28It sounded like something straight out of a science fiction book.
05:31With all these strange happenings and the endless depth of the hole, Mel felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next.
05:38It was 1997, and there was one place where people talked about unusual, unexplained things.
05:45The radio show Coast to Coast AM with host Art Bell.
05:48Art's show was famous for exploring the strange and the paranormal, broadcasted from the desert and listened to by millions across the globe.
05:57Mel decided to reach out to Art Bell and his audience.
06:00Maybe they could help figure out the questions of the bottomless hole and the weird things happening around it.
06:06If there was any chance to find answers, it would be through the curious and open-minded listeners of Coast to Coast AM.
06:12The saga of Mel's hole deepens with more government involvement and further things discussed on a popular radio show.
06:20On February 21st, 1997, a significant event happened for Mel.
06:26He chose to share his experience with Art Bell, a famous radio host known for discussing unexplained phenomena.
06:32Mel contacted Art, and soon they were talking over the phone.
06:36This conversation kick-started something big.
06:38In no time, Mel's unusual pit became a hot topic of discussion.
06:43Over several radio shows, Mel divulged more details about his strange deep pit,
06:48attracting listeners from around the world who offered advice,
06:52suggesting he used powerful lasers to measure the pit's depth or radar to look beneath the earth.
06:58However, revealing his story had a major downside.
07:01Now, the whole world knew about the pit, all because Mel had talked about it on the air.
07:06He accidentally dropped hints about its location.
07:10The very next day, when Mel tried to return to his property, he was stopped.
07:14The United States military had taken control of the area, prohibiting anyone else from entering.
07:19Right after Mel's radio appearance on a Friday night,
07:22he noticed helicopters circling his property, and they didn't stop the next day.
07:26Mel had also mentioned that the pit seemed to affect its surroundings.
07:30Animals avoided it, but plants thrived near it.
07:33Radios malfunctioned around the pit, making strange noises or tuning into broadcasts from long ago,
07:39like a baseball game from 1967.
07:42When Art first spoke to Mel on his show, they talked for an hour while Mel was in Ellensburg.
07:47But when Mel tried to return to his property afterward, he was blocked by the military.
07:52They had set up barriers and were heavily armed.
07:54They told Mel a plane had crashed on his land, but there was no debris or any sign of a crash.
07:59No wreckage, no fire, nothing.
08:02Yet Mel couldn't get past them.
08:04They claimed they needed to investigate the crash site first.
08:08When Mel asked to speak to their leader, a man in plain clothes appeared,
08:11hinting that Mel might no longer own his land,
08:14and even threatened him by suggesting they might find illegal activities there if he caused trouble.
08:19Mel, feeling defiant, said he would go to the media.
08:22But the man just laughed, indicating that no one would take Mel's story seriously.
08:27However, Art Bell and his listeners were always ready to believe something out of the ordinary.
08:33Just when it seemed things couldn't get any stranger, Mel faced something far beyond his control.
08:39The unexplained dark beam from the pit.
08:42A few days later, Art contacted Mel again to find out if there were any updates.
08:46Mel had an incredible update to share, though he hadn't witnessed it himself.
08:50One of his neighbors had seen a strange occurrence,
08:53a dark beam of light shooting up from the pit, slicing through the clouds.
08:58It was a kind of darkness that was both new and frightening.
09:01While Mel hadn't seen this dark beam himself,
09:04Art and many callers on his show speculated about it,
09:07thinking the area in Washington was known for all sorts of unusual occurrences.
09:11People had reported seeing unidentified flying objects,
09:14disappearances, and other strange happenings there.
09:17Callers to the show had various ideas about the pit.
09:22Some believed it was situated on what's called a ley line,
09:25an imagined energy pathway across the Earth.
09:28They thought the pit might be a portal to another place or even another time.
09:32They speculated that all the things thrown into the pit,
09:36like trash, broken items, and sadly animals, might end up in another dimension.
09:41One caller even suggested that the pit could lead to the hollow Earth,
09:45a theory that beneath our planet's surface, there's an entire other world,
09:50akin to a massive cavern.
09:52As the theories multiplied, Art Bell continued to communicate with Mel and his neighbors,
09:56since Mel couldn't visit his own land.
09:59An elderly neighbor recalled that long ago there were large stone pillars around the pit,
10:04suggesting its long-standing presence and intrigue.
10:08Art's show became a cautionary tale about speaking publicly,
10:11as government agencies might be listening.
10:13At the end of the broadcast, Mel promised to return with more updates,
10:18but when it was time for his next appearance, he was strangely absent.
10:22He didn't answer his phone or respond to any contacts.
10:25Later, a television crew went to Ellensburg to investigate for themselves,
10:28but when they arrived, they couldn't locate the pit.
10:31What they found instead were military documents and evidence
10:34suggesting that the military had been there, possibly still was.
10:38It would be three years before Mel revealed that he had been offered a significant sum,
10:43$3 million annually, to allow exclusive use of his land.
10:48The catch was he had to agree not to discuss the pit,
10:52leave the United States immediately, and vowed never to return.
10:55Mel agreed to the terms and moved to Australia for two years.
10:59However, he eventually felt the pull of home and decided to return to the U.S. despite the risks.
11:05Ignoring warnings, Mel returned to America to reconnect with his family
11:09and possibly continue sharing his story on Art Bell's radio show.
11:12However, things didn't go as expected.
11:15On the day he was supposed to be on the radio, Mel was on a bus heading to see his nephew.
11:20An unexpected argument erupted on the bus requiring police intervention.
11:24Everyone was questioned, then transferred to another bus.
11:27But Mel's day took an even stranger turn when he suddenly blacked out.
11:31When he finally came to, he was in an alley in San Francisco, confused and frightened.
11:37Twelve days had vanished from his life.
11:39His wallet was missing, his arm was sore, and there were marks indicating multiple needle punctures
11:44and tape residues, suggesting he had been subjected to some medical procedures.
11:49Hold on, there's even more to tell about Mel's situation.
11:52When Mel felt a taste of blood in his mouth, he was shocked to find that some of his back teeth were missing.
11:58He had no clue how this could have happened.
12:01Completely confused and lost, Mel struggled to make sense of his circumstances,
12:05which unfortunately didn't seem to get any better.
12:08He couldn't make it back to his own property.
12:11Before he knew it, he found himself tangled up with legal issues.
12:15The authorities accused him of building unauthorized structures like houses and roads on his land,
12:20allegations Mel knew were untrue.
12:23Remember, the government had controlled his land for the past two years.
12:27Despite this, it didn't seem to matter to those in charge.
12:30Mel ended up losing everything he owned.
12:33To make matters worse, just a day or two after he tried to reconnect with Art Bell,
12:37Mel discovered all his money had vanished from his bank account.
12:41As Mel's story spread, it caught the attention of others,
12:43leading him to another pit with even more unusual surprises.
12:47Another strange pit found.
12:50At this point, many people started doubting Mel's accounts.
12:53They couldn't believe any part of his ordeal.
12:56But Art Bell, who has a knack for exploring unusual stories,
12:59invited Mel back on his show to share his experiences.
13:02During the broadcast, Mel disclosed that a television crew had attempted to locate his infamous hole.
13:08They didn't find the hole, but they uncovered evidence suggesting that the military had been conducting significant operations in the area.
13:16Moreover, a new restriction was suddenly imposed.
13:19Airplanes were no longer allowed to fly over Mel's land.
13:22This no-fly zone around the area was expanded even further.
13:26Then, something odd appeared online.
13:28On a satellite imagery website, the region around Mel's property was displayed as a black square, hiding everything beneath.
13:36Some speculated that Mel had concocted his story after seeing this online anomaly.
13:42However, this website displaying the black square wasn't launched until six months after Mel's initial conversation with Art Bell.
13:49It was impossible for him to have seen it beforehand.
13:51But just when you think you've heard it all about Mel's adventures, another twist unfolds.
13:57A Native American tribe from Nevada reached out to him.
14:00They had heard about his strange hole and had a similar phenomenon on their hands, a seemingly bottomless pit that they were investigating.
14:08They believed Mel could offer valuable insights based on his own bizarre experiences.
14:13Eager for answers and intrigued by the possibility of connecting with others who understood,
14:18Mel embarked on a new chapter, traveling to Nevada to explore another unexplained pit.
14:24Upon his arrival, Mel was introduced to another strange pit, this time in a different location.
14:31Before they even reached the site, Mel engaged in discussions with representatives from the Native American tribe and a group known as the Bosque.
14:38They were cautious, wanting to ensure that Mel wasn't secretly working for any media outlets or the government.
14:44Once they were convinced of Mel's sincerity, he was allowed to view the new pit.
14:48Everyone involved was eager to learn what was at the bottom of this pit.
14:52This second pit, unlike Mel's, wasn't located on Native American land, but in a public area where the Bosque people resided.
15:00The Bosque, originally from the regions between France and Spain, had migrated to Nevada in the 1800s to herd sheep.
15:07They considered this pit sacred, believing it to be over 200 years old.
15:12It was about 9 feet in diameter, similar to Mel's hole, but looked different with a metallic ring instead of a stone wall surrounding it, made from an unusual type of metal.
15:23Mel noticed an odd warmth emanating from this new pit.
15:26When he accidentally dropped a tool onto the metal ring, there was no sound.
15:31A stark silence as if the noise was swallowed by the pit.
15:34Curious about these peculiar properties, Mel and the Bosque people began a series of experiments.
15:41They lowered a bucket filled with ice down to a depth of about 1,000 feet, while also keeping a sample of ice at the surface to compare results.
15:50When the ice on the surface had melted, they retrieved the bucket from the depths.
15:54Strangely, the ice in the bucket hadn't melted at all.
15:58What's more, it was no longer cold and was completely dry, resembling salt chunks.
16:03They attempted to melt this strange ice with fire, but rather than melting, it ignited and burned for an extended period, like several months.
16:11They repeated these experiments multiple times, yielding mixed results.
16:16Sometimes the ice melted as expected, but other times it transformed into the flammable substance.
16:21The notion of descending into the pit was briefly considered by one of the Bosque members, but it was quickly deemed too dangerous.
16:28Instead, they decided on a less risky, but still unconventional experiment.
16:33They would lower a sheep into the pit.
16:36While the idea might seem bizarre, they proceeded with it.
16:39Interestingly, the sheep appeared to sense something amiss, and was visibly reluctant to enter the pit, as if it could detect the impending strangeness.
16:48The team carefully lowered a crate containing the sheep to a depth of 1,000 feet.
16:54Suddenly, the rope went slack, and an eerie humming sound enveloped them.
16:59They decided to leave the sheep at that depth for about 30 minutes.
17:02When they hoisted the crate back to the surface, everything initially appeared normal.
17:07The Tale of the Endless Pit
17:09In a remote part of eastern Washington, there's a fascinating spot known as Mel's Hole, which many believe is infinitely deep.
17:17Discovered by Mel Waters, the property owner, this hole grabbed his attention because it seemed like it could never be filled,
17:24no matter how much stuff was thrown into it.
17:27Cameras lowered into the hole to find out what was at the bottom only returned fuzzy images that left everyone baffled.
17:33Nestled on Manistache Ridge, near Ellensburg, this hole looks like any other well, but isn't used for drawing water.
17:41Over the years, it became the local dump site, with everything from regular trash to broken cars and worn-out tires tossed in.
17:49Despite this, the hole never seemed to get full, which kept Mel intrigued about what was really down there.
17:55But what if this hole is not just a strange geological formation?
17:59Could it be a gateway to something far more sinister?
18:01What you are about to see in this video is like nothing else in the world.
18:07Dogs nearby were clearly bothered by the hole, staying away from it and acting scared whenever they were close.
18:13Mel also noticed weird disturbances in radio signals when he was near the hole, adding to the strange happenings surrounding it.
18:20The story of how deep it could be captivated not only Mel, but also many others who learned about it.
18:25In 2017, a team of researchers tried to get to the bottom of things, quite literally, by lowering a camera into the hole, hoping to understand more.
18:34The footage they got was blurry and eerie enough to make them back off quickly, maintaining the hole's spooky reputation.
18:42Using his fishing equipment, Mel tied a weight to a line and began lowering it into the abyss.
18:47He let out 4,500 feet of line, yet it didn't reach the bottom.
18:52Switching tactics, he attached a pack of Lifesavers candy to the line, thinking if there was water at the bottom, they would dissolve.
18:59Surprisingly, they came back up untouched.
19:02Determined, he used more and more line, eventually lowering nearly two miles of it without hitting bottom.
19:07In an incredible testament to his persistence, Mel continued to experiment by extending up to 880,000 feet of fishing line, more than 166 miles, and still the bottom was elusive.
19:21The phenomenon wasn't just intriguing because of its depth.
19:25The area around the hole was unusually silent, with no birds or insects, although birds seemed unaffected flying over it.
19:32Neighbors said their dogs acted similarly around the hole, showing fear and reluctance to get close.
19:38One neighbor even shared a spine-chilling story of how his deceased dog, which he had thrown into the hole, came back to life days later, appearing changed and distant.
19:49Despite countless efforts to discover the true nature of Mel's hole, it remained a profound riddle.
19:55Overwhelmed by what he had found and the stories that were growing around it,
19:58Mel reached out to a well-known late-night radio show called Coast to Coast AM, hosted by Art Bell.
20:05This show was known for discussing paranormal and unexplained phenomena.
20:09Mel hoped that the show's diverse and curious audience might have some ideas or theories about the unusual events linked to the hole.
20:16As the stories about Mel's hole spread wider, they stirred both doubt and intrigue,
20:22showcasing our innate attraction to the unresolved and curious tales.
20:25This account of a seemingly endless pit continues to be a subject of speculation,
20:31drawing interest and debate from everyone who hears about it,
20:34highlighting our enduring curiosity about the unexplained parts of the world around us.
20:39In late February 1997, Mel suddenly found himself in the public eye
20:44after calling into Art Bell's radio show to talk about a very deep hole on his property.
20:49This call not only made his discovery known worldwide, but also brought unexpected consequences.
20:55As word of the hole spread, listeners from around the globe offered advice
21:00on how to measure its depth with lasers or investigate what lies beneath with radar.
21:06However, the more the story circulated, the more unwanted attention it attracted.
21:11The next morning after his broadcast, Mel was shocked to discover that he could no longer access his own property.
21:17The military had taken control, claiming they needed to investigate a supposed plane crash,
21:22although there was no evidence of any crash.
21:24Just when Mel thought things couldn't get stranger,
21:28the arrival of the military added a new level of tension.
21:32Dark light from the pit.
21:34With military helicopters flying above and armed personnel on the ground,
21:38Mel's life seemed like something out of a movie.
21:41The hole itself had odd effects.
21:43Animals avoided it, but plants thrived.
21:46Radios malfunctioned, tuning into old broadcasts.
21:49Mel's interactions with the military were tense, as they hinted at land ownership disputes
21:55and suggested illegal activities to intimidate him.
21:58As the story continued on the radio, Mel talked about neighbors seeing odd things,
22:04like a dark beam of light shooting upward from the hole.
22:07These stories, not directly confirmed by Mel, were readily believed by the radio show's audience,
22:12already familiar with other odd happenings in the area, like UFO sightings and strange disappearances.
22:19The audience loved to speculate about the nature of the hole.
22:23Some thought it was a portal on a mystical energy line.
22:26Others believed it was an entrance to another world inside the Earth.
22:30This wild speculation continued as more people joined in with their ideas and bits of history,
22:36such as ancient stone pillars that were once around the hole.
22:40Despite the growing public fascination, Mel's situation became increasingly complicated.
22:46His open discussions on the radio might have been drawing too much attention from government authorities.
22:52He continued to share updates and new details on the show, which seemed to serve two purposes,
22:56keeping listeners engaged and perhaps inadvertently informing the government of his findings.
23:02When Mel suddenly disappeared from the radio right before a scheduled update,
23:06everyone was buzzing with speculation.
23:09He later reappeared with a story about being offered a large sum of money
23:12to sell his land and move to Australia,
23:15with strict instructions to stop talking about the hole and to leave the U.S.
23:19He accepted the offer and moved,
23:21but his longing for home brought him back quietly to visit his family,
23:24indicating he couldn't completely sever ties with his past.
23:29This long story, packed with strange happenings and surprising twists,
23:33often seemed a bit too much.
23:35It looked like it was perfect for those who enjoy creating conspiracy theories
23:39and stories about hidden activities by officials.
23:42Whether Mel's hole was a real significant find
23:45or just a normal hole that got famous through people's interest
23:48and an exaggerated reaction from the military is still up for debate.
23:52What's clear is that the truth behind Mel's story
23:55is as murky as the supposed endless depth of the hole he found.
23:59Mel had planned to go on Art Bell's radio show
24:01to talk about his latest experiences,
24:03but his day took an unexpected turn.
24:06He was traveling to see his nephew by bus
24:08when a massive argument erupted among the passengers.
24:11The situation got so heated that the police had to get involved.
24:15After a bunch of questions, everyone was moved to another bus.
24:18Just when it seemed like things were calming down,
24:21Mel suddenly passed out.
24:23He woke up completely lost in an alley in San Francisco
24:26with no memory of the past 12 days.
24:29His wallet was missing and he noticed several needle marks on his arm,
24:33suggesting he had been through some kind of medical procedure.
24:37He also realized some of his back teeth were missing
24:40and he could taste blood in his mouth.
24:43Trying to piece together what happened,
24:44Mel found himself tangled in legal troubles.
24:47He was accused of illegally building structures,
24:50things like houses and roads.
24:52But Mel was confused because his land had been taken over
24:55by the government for the last two years.
24:58Despite his objections, he ended up losing his property.
25:01When Mel tried to get back on the radio with Art Bell,
25:04he found out all his money had disappeared from his bank account.
25:07People started saying he made up his whole story,
25:10but Art Bell, always keen on unusual stories,
25:13invited him back on the show anyway.
25:15During his second appearance, Mel talked about a TV crew
25:18that had tried and failed to find his hole
25:20but observed a lot of military activity in the area.
25:24The airspace above his land had become restricted
25:26and an online satellite image showed just a black square
25:30where his land was supposed to be.
25:32This image had only appeared on the website
25:34six months after Mel first spoke to Art Bell,
25:37so he couldn't have made up his story based on that.
25:39The strange events around Mel's hole didn't stop there.
25:43Another strange pit was waiting for him,
25:45making things even stranger.
25:48A second strange pit in Nevada.
25:50Things got even more complicated
25:52when a Native American tribe from Nevada reached out to him.
25:56They had heard about his troubles
25:57and thought he could help them with a similar situation
26:00they were investigating.
26:02This other hole was in a public area
26:04where the Basque people lived.
26:06They had moved to Nevada from the area
26:08between France and Spain in the 1800s
26:10to herd sheep and considered the hole sacred.
26:14It was about the same size as Mel's hole,
26:16nine feet across,
26:17but it had a metal ring around it instead of stone.
26:20The metal felt warm to the touch,
26:22an oddly absorbed sound,
26:24as Mel discovered when he accidentally
26:26dropped a tool onto it.
26:28Mel and the Basque people started experimenting
26:30with the hole,
26:31beginning with lowering a bucket
26:32filled with various objects into it.
26:34This sparked even more curiosity
26:37as they tried to understand
26:38the unusual properties of this second hole.
26:41As they conducted tests,
26:43Mel felt a mix of excitement and apprehension
26:45about what they might discover.
26:47Working closely with the tribe and the Basque people,
26:50he learned more about their culture
26:52and their deep connection to the land.
26:54They discussed the historical importance of the hole
26:57and speculated about its origins and potential uses.
27:01These conversations showed the complexity
27:03of the situation and the different interpretations
27:05and beliefs held by the locals.
27:09Throughout this process,
27:10Mel's initial doubts were challenged
27:11by the physical evidence
27:12and the stories from those
27:14who had known about the hole for generations.
27:16This collaboration not only deepened
27:18his understanding of the hole's peculiarities,
27:21but also allowed him to connect with people
27:23who, despite their different backgrounds,
27:25shared his curiosity and determination
27:27to uncover the truth.
27:30Together, they planned more detailed explorations
27:32and complex experiments,
27:35aiming to eventually unravel
27:36not just the physical nature of the hole,
27:38but also its significance
27:40in the broader context
27:41of their shared histories and cultures.
27:44As they dug deeper, the project grew,
27:46attracting more involvement from the community,
27:49turning Mel's once isolated incident
27:51into a shared endeavor
27:52that spanned historical, cultural,
27:54and scientific interests.
27:55Now, let's dive deeper into their experiments.
27:59They tried lowering ice into the hole
28:01about 1,000 feet down
28:02while keeping some ice above ground
28:04to see what would happen.
28:06When the ice on the surface had melted,
28:08they brought up the bucket from below
28:09and found that the ice inside
28:11hadn't melted at all.
28:13It was still intact, warm,
28:15and completely dry,
28:16looking more like salt than ice.
28:19Surprisingly, when they tried to melt
28:21this strange ice with a flame,
28:23it ignited and continued to burn
28:25for a long time, like several months.
28:28This unusual behavior was inconsistent.
28:31They repeated the experiment several times
28:33with different amounts of ice.
28:35Sometimes the ice melted as expected,
28:37but other times it transformed
28:39into a strange, flammable material.
28:42Then someone from the Basque group
28:44suggested a bold idea.
28:46Why not explore the hole themselves?
28:49However, due to safety concerns,
28:50this idea was quickly dismissed
28:52and they opted for a less dangerous
28:54but still unusual experiment.
28:57They would lower a sheep
28:58into the hole instead.
29:00Getting the sheep into the hole
29:01was no simple task.
29:03The animal seemed to sense
29:04that something was wrong
29:05and resisted being put into the box.
29:08Despite its reluctance,
29:09the team managed to secure it
29:11and lowered the box down to 1,000 feet.
29:14Suddenly, the rope stopped.
29:15At the same time,
29:16a peculiar humming sound
29:18filled the air,
29:19making the moment feel even more eerie.
29:22They decided to leave the sheep
29:23in the hole for about half an hour.
29:25When they pulled the box back up,
29:27everything seemed normal at first.
29:29However, upon closer inspection,
29:31they discovered that the sheep
29:32was no longer alive.
29:34As Mel and his team
29:35continue their experiments,
29:37the unsettling discoveries
29:38make them question everything.
29:40The strange creature found in the pit.
29:44The discovery was unsettling
29:45and left everyone feeling anxious.
29:48They dissected the sheep
29:49to explore what was going on inside
29:51and what they discovered
29:52was quite disturbing.
29:54The interior of the sheep
29:55seemed as though it had been scorched
29:57and a massive growth
29:58occupied most of the space.
30:00This growth then started moving on its own.
30:03As if things couldn't get any weirder,
30:05when they sliced into the growth,
30:08they found a creature
30:08resembling a baby seal
30:10connected by something similar
30:11to an umbilical cord,
30:13except its eyes were undeniably human.
30:16This entity,
30:17coated in a slimy substance
30:19and emitting a smell
30:21reminiscent of the air after a storm,
30:23seemed aware of its environment.
30:26The team watched
30:26as the creature cautiously
30:28made its way
30:28to the edge of the table.
30:30It appeared as though
30:31there was an unspoken agreement
30:33between them
30:34as the creature gave one last look
30:36before diving back into the hole.
30:38This hole was more than
30:39just a simple gap.
30:41It seemed to be a gateway
30:42to phenomena
30:43that defied normal understanding,
30:45challenging their notions
30:47of what exists below us.
30:49Before this entire incident
30:50took place in Nevada,
30:52Mel was battling
30:52a severe health issue.
30:54He had been diagnosed
30:55with cancer in his throat
30:56and was told he didn't have
30:57much time left.
30:58However,
31:00after returning
31:00from a remarkable trip,
31:02Mel found himself
31:03miraculously cured.
31:05He felt better
31:05than he had in years
31:06and credited his encounter
31:08with a strange,
31:10seal-like creature
31:10for his healing.
31:12This experience
31:13completely changed Mel,
31:15making him feel
31:15as if he had ventured
31:16into another realm
31:17and come back a new person.
31:20As the episode
31:20of the radio show
31:21came to a close,
31:22the host issued
31:23a warning to the audience.
31:24The path to where Mel
31:25had his extraordinary encounter
31:27was still out there
31:28and could be visited,
31:30but everyone was strongly advised
31:31against trying to find it.
31:33The host warned
31:34that searching for this place
31:35could lead to bizarre
31:36and scary experiences,
31:38including the risk
31:39of disappearing
31:40into the unknown.
31:41This note of caution
31:42added a serious tone
31:44to Mel's fantastical story,
31:46blending intrigue
31:47with a hint of danger.
31:48A few months later,
31:49Mel was back
31:50on the coast-to-coast radio show
31:52with more to say,
31:53especially about
31:54some odd experiments
31:55involving ice
31:56that seemed to burn
31:57indefinitely.
31:58In an event
31:59that seemed straight out
32:00of a science fiction tale,
32:02a person from Basque
32:03attempted to use this ice
32:04to heat his cabin.
32:05The results were far beyond
32:07anything he could have imagined.
32:09These stories,
32:10whether true
32:10or just elaborately
32:11constructed narratives,
32:13continued to capture
32:14the attention
32:15of the listeners,
32:15feeding their fascination
32:17with the inexplicable.
32:18Yet those who are
32:19more skeptical
32:20might view Mel's stories
32:22as mere fabrications
32:23or exaggerations
32:25made for the amusement
32:26of late-night radio listeners.
32:28However,
32:29these tales,
32:29mixing the supernatural
32:31with the perplexing,
32:32provided either solace
32:33or thrill
32:34to those who choose
32:35to believe
32:36that there's more
32:37to the world
32:37than our everyday experiences.
32:40Listeners were encouraged
32:41to consider
32:42what Mel's experiences
32:43might signify.
32:45Was there really
32:46a healing force at work
32:47or was it simply
32:48the power of the human mind
32:50to heal itself,
32:51spurred by belief
32:53in something extraordinary?
32:55The discussions
32:56prompted by Mel,
32:57stirring both curiosity
32:58and skepticism,
33:00highlighted how
33:01unexplained events
33:02can deeply influence
33:03our perspectives
33:04and the constant draw
33:06of the unknown.
33:07The ice that burned
33:08was a bizarre occurrence
33:10that lasted for months.
33:12It never melted
33:12but seemed to absorb
33:14all the moisture
33:14from the air around it,
33:16drying everything
33:17in the cabin.
33:18This caused
33:19significant discomfort
33:20for the resident
33:20who suffered
33:21from extremely dry skin
33:23and was constantly thirsty.
33:26Even trying to boil water
33:27became a strange ordeal.
33:29The steam was quickly
33:30drawn into the flames
33:31as if magnetically attracted.
33:34This situation
33:35went from merely
33:35inconvenient
33:36to downright strange.
33:39The intense heat
33:39from this peculiar ice
33:41weakened the structure
33:42of the wood stove
33:43and even the floor
33:44beneath it.
33:45You would think
33:46anyone would stop
33:47using such a risky
33:48heat source,
33:48but instead the residents
33:50just patched up
33:51the hole in the floor
33:52and continued to use
33:53the fiery ice
33:54for warmth.
33:55This decision,
33:56questionable from
33:57any logical viewpoint,
33:59seemed to accelerate
34:00the deterioration
34:01of their living conditions.
34:03Eventually,
34:03the cabin itself
34:04just fell apart
34:05as if it had given up
34:06under the strain
34:07of the odd conditions.
34:08When the owner
34:09of the cabin
34:10returned a month later
34:11with his brother,
34:11they found a startling scene.
34:13The stove had sunk
34:15five feet below
34:15where the ground once was,
34:17now resting at the bottom
34:18of a smoothly dug pit.
34:20But the question
34:21only deepened.
34:22Is Mel's Hole
34:23just an eerie legend
34:24or could it be hiding
34:25something far more sinister,
34:27perhaps even a portal
34:29to another world?
