Hey, thanks for clicking. Today we're doing a whole compilation. Someone mentioned it on the live stream a couple of weeks ago that we've done so many stories about holes, we should do a compilation of them. And I was like, we have? And then I went back and looked at the catalog, and we've got something like 10 or 11 stories about holes and underground mysteries and all that stuff.

So we're not going to do all of them, but I picked seven, six or seven of my favorites. And really the only way to kick off a good hole compilation is with a classic, Mel's Hole.

On Mel Waters property in the Manassas Ridge west of Ellensburg, Washington, there's a hole in the ground that looks like a well, but it's not a well like the owners of the property before him. Mel used the hole as a trash dump. His neighbors used it to garbage, broken appliances, old tires. Everything went into the hole. After a while, Mel started to wonder, why doesn't it fill up?

And then he started to notice other strange things about the hole. His dogs wouldn't go near it. It caused his radio to pick up strange signals, and it didn't seem to have a bottom. Mel's curiosity became an obsession. Let's see if we can get to the bottom of Mel's hole. Mel's hole is a round pit 9 feet 9 inches in diameter.

There's a stone retaining wall built around it that goes down about 15 feet. After that, the hole extends down into darkness. Not only did Mel Waters and his wife dump everything in the hole, but so did his neighbors. And this has been going on for a long time, for years before Mel even moved in. Mel's neighbors said they couldn't remember a time when the hole wasn't there.

So why can't you hear objects hitting the bottom? Why can't you hear your own echo? Mel set out to determine exactly how far down this hole goes. An avid fisherman, Mel had spools of fishing line on hand. So he attached a one pound weight to the line and sent it down the hole. It went 4,500 feet, the full length of the reel, and didn't hit bottom.
