I think that this really deserves it's own topic, and I think that even though it's far out, it doesn't belong in Beyond Dreaming, because it's just so damn unbelievable.
The story originated from a phone call that Art Bell recieved on Coast to Coast AM (a paranormal radio show), from a man named Mel Waters. Mel Waters claimed to have a hole on his property that was nine feet in diameter, and had no knowledgable depth.
On a catch-up story, approx. 5 years later, Mel Waters is interviewed by Art Bell for an extensive interview that spans one of the most far-fetched, interesting, and overall creepy stories I have ever heard.
The first part (it's 15 parts) can be found on Youtube at

Okay... well.. here's the "summary" of this wacky tale.
Disclaimer and Protection of My Intelligence: I know this story is insanely unbelievable, but it's just so damn interesting. Kind of like Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings. It's far-fetched, and doesn't sound like it would happen in a million years, yet it is so interesting you can't stop listening.
The Summary
Mel Waters is a middle-aged-man who owns some property in Washington. One day he discovers a hole that is about nine feet in diameter, and seemingly endless in depth. He does some experiments with fishing lines and weights, and goes through MILES of line and doesn't find a bottom.
One of his friends throws their dead dog down the hole, only to witness the same dog alive and prowling the extensive foresty landscape several days later.
Mel Waters appears on the radio show Coast to Coast AM, and describes his predicament.
A day following his radio appearance, Mel returns to his property only to find a bunch of government agents that tell him that there had been a plane crash, and they have to clear the debris.
Mel tells the government agents that it is his property, and he demands that he be allowed onto it. The government agents threaten that they would say they found drug labs (Mel worked with herbs and native medicine) on his property.
After some convincing, Mel agrees to get paid a sum of $250,000 dollars every month so the government can use his property. He also asks to be relocated to Australia (a favorite place of his). He spends some time over in Australia, researching and helping Wombats and spending alot of his government given money to fund research centers for the wombats.
He comes back on American soil, and while there, helps his nephew move homes. On one of the trips moving (he was moving a fairly long distance), Mel (alone) takes a bus to another destination, only to have an altercation on the bus where several police and government agents ask him to come with him to give them his statement. They offer to drive him to his needed destination after his statement is given.
That is the last thing he remembers. He wakes up 12 days later in a rutty San Francisco alley beaten, with his molars (back teeth) removed.
He notices tape on his arm and hand from where they must have inserted an IV. He also notices his belt buckle had been stolen. He contacts his nephew and recieves a bus ride back to the town near his property in Washington. All of his money that the government gave him is gone, and the contact is no longer exsistant. Due to some divorce paperwork, and the changes made to his property by the government, he has no ownership of the property, and therefore, they don't have to pay him money.
Upon returning to the town closer to his property, he notices a man wearing a belt buckle much like his own. Aside from herbs and medicine, Mel also had jewlery and metal making as a hobby. He made ten belt buckles with coins he had found on his property as a decoration, and sold them at surrounding stores and farm markets. He talks to the man, and they inspect the belt buckle, trying to figure out why the government agents would have taken his belt buckle. On this belt buckle, they find a Franklin Roosevelt dime, dated before his death.
They are flabbergasted, considering that the Franklin Roosevelt dime was made AFTER his death, and they couldn't possibly have a dime dating that year, since there was no FR dime made in that year. They take it to a coin-collector, who is also shocked. He offers a large sum of money in exchange for the coin, but the belt buckle owner tells him he'll think about it.
A few days later, the belt buckle owner is visited by government workers, who take away the belt buckle. Mel talks to local Indian tribes on reservations about certain crops that grew around the hole, and they tell him that they have another hole that they have known about since the 1800's. They take him to this hole (it is in Nevada), and there he investigates it. This hole has a metal lining, and the metal is unlike any metal he has ever seen. If you hit it with something, it makes no noise, and the metal can also not be dented. The metal also radiates a sort of heat, but is not hot itself. They get a few bags of ice, and put the ice in a bucket and attach it to a wench. They lower the bucket of ice about 15,000 feet. They wait untill the ice they have at the surface melts about halfway. They pull the ice back up. The ice has not melted at all, and upon feeling it, the ice isn't cold, or wet.
They try to melt the ice by putting it over the fire they have going, and the ice catches fire.
After that experiment they decide to put a sheep (the tribe around there were sheep herders) in a box, and see what happens. They lower the sheep down, and bring it back up 30 minutes later. The sheep (which went in alive) is now dead, and they cut it open. Instead of the organs, the sheep has what seems to be a pulsing tumour taking up the entire body cavity. They open up the tumour, and inside there is a creature that looks like a baby seal with HUMAN eyes. The seal falls out of the tumour and intelligently looks at all the gentlemen. They are transfixed on this seal for about 2 hours. They put the seal on the edge of the hole, and then the seal looks at them, and hops back into the hole.
Thats up to part 10.
