Mel's Hole: An Unverified Paranormal Mystery or Urban Legend?. #mystery #Unverified #melhole #Urban
8Mel's Hole is a supposed metaphysical phenomenon or unexplained mystery that has been discussed in various forms on the internet and in some books, but its existence as an actual place is unverified.
The basic story claims that a man named Mel Waters discovered a massive hole or vertical shaft in a remote area of Washington state in the 1990s.
According to the tales, the hole descends vertically for an unknown depth and exhibits strange properties like remaining warm at the bottom despite the depth, emitting strange sounds and gases, and potentially being an entryway to the "Hollow Earth" theory of subterranean worlds.
However, no conclusive evidence has ever been produced to confirm Mel's Hole is real.
The stories seem to stem from postings on message boards and websites dedicated to the paranormal, cryptozoology, and fringe theories starting in the late 1990s.
Skeptics have suggested it is an urban legend or hoax that gained popularity online.
