Mel’s Hole: The Bottomless Abyss of Eastern Washington and Its Paranormal Secrets
Deep in the rolling hills of Eastern Washington, a mysterious pit known as Mel’s Hole has captivated the imagination of countless curious souls. Described as an endless abyss, this bizarre chasm seems straight out of a horror movie, with reports of paranormal phenomena, government cover-ups, and even animals returning from the dead. But what is really going on with this chilling hole? Could it be a gateway to another dimension or a physical manifestation of something far darker?
A Dark and Endless Void
The story begins in the early 1990s, when local resident Mel Waters discovered the hole, nestled on his property in the isolated Manastash Ridge area near Ellensburg. What seemed like a simple, 9-foot wide pit became a source of intense fascination—and fear—as strange things began to happen. Despite being used as a trash dump by Mel and his neighbors, the hole never seemed to fill up. No matter how much junk they tossed in—tires, old appliances, and even dead animals—it simply swallowed everything without a trace.
But it wasn’t just the hole’s insatiable appetite that was strange. Animals, especially Mel’s dogs, refused to go anywhere near the pit. The silence around the hole was eerie; no birds chirped, no insects buzzed, and even Mel’s radio crackled strangely when nearby. Something was definitely off.
The Unbelievable: A Dog Returned from the Dead
In 1994, one of Mel’s neighbors, grieving the loss of his dog, decided to dispose of the animal’s body by tossing it into the pit. A few days later, the dog was seen alive again, running through the woods—alive, but noticeably different. It seemed disoriented, as if it had crossed into another world and come back, forever changed. The sight of the dog’s resurrection left the community shaken, and people began to wonder: was the hole some kind of gateway to another dimension?
A Descent into the Abyss
Determined to uncover the truth, Mel took matters into his own hands. Using his fishing gear, he lowered over 880,000 feet of line—more than 166 miles—into the darkness, but the bottom never appeared. Even stranger, when he lowered a pack of Lifesavers into the pit, they came back up completely dry, as though no water existed at the bottom.
Curiosity turned to alarm when Mel, after sharing his discoveries on Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell in 1997, became the target of government intervention. Shortly after his radio appearance, Mel returned to find his property surrounded by military vehicles, with helicopters buzzing overhead. He was told that his land was no longer his own, and government agents subtly hinted that they would do anything to discredit him.
The Mysterious Darkness and the Government Cover-Up
But the story didn’t end there. Mel received reports of an ominous event: a beam of pure darkness shot up from the pit, piercing the sky and leaving a mark on those who witnessed it. Whether it was a physical manifestation of darkness or something else entirely, it deepened the mystery surrounding the hole. Soon after, Mel disappeared from the public eye. His story became a ghost tale, with only a handful of believers left to ponder its truth.
Years later, Mel resurfaced with an even stranger tale. He claimed that a mysterious group offered him $3 million a year to leave the U.S. and remain silent about the hole. Taking the deal, Mel moved to Australia, but the government’s reach didn’t end there. During a bus ride to see his nephew, Mel blacked out for 12 days, waking up in San Francisco with no memory of what happened, missing teeth, and covered in needle marks. He had lost everything—his property, his money—and once again, he was forced into silence.
The Nevada Connection and the Return of the Hole
In a twist worthy of a conspiracy thriller, Mel’s saga took him to Nevada, where a Native American tribe claimed to have their own mysterious pit. When they lowered a sheep into it, they found a bizarre creature inside the animal—a strange being that looked like a baby seal with human-like eyes. The creature seemed to want to return to the pit, and after being placed back into the darkness, it disappeared. Mel believed that this encounter with the creature had somehow healed him of his terminal cancer, adding yet another layer of strangeness to his already unbelievable story.
But despite all these incredible experiences, Mel’s hole remained shrouded in mystery. The government continued to interfere with anyone trying to investigate, and after Mel’s disappearance, the hole itself seemed to vanish, as if it had been erased from existence. Satellite images showed blacked-out areas over the site, but no one could ever prove its existence.
The Legend Lives On
Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the story of Mel’s Hole remains one of the most compelling and eerie mysteries of the Pacific Northwest. In 2017, a group of amateur investigators attempted to find the hole, but again, they came up empty-handed. They reported feeling watched by something unseen, a reminder that the mystery is far from over.
Much like the story of the Well of Baroot in Yemen—another mysterious pit with equally chilling folklore—Mel’s Hole continues to haunt the imaginations of those drawn to the unknown. The Well of Baroot, known as the “Well of Hell,” is steeped in myth, rumored to be a prison for Jinn or cursed spirits. Locals believed it could suck in anything that came too close, never to be seen again. Explorers who ventured into the well found stalagmites, strange creatures, and dead animals, but no answers to the legends.
The True Mystery: What Lies Beneath?
Is Mel’s Hole a portal to another world? A government cover-up? Or a terrifying natural phenomenon that defies explanation? The truth remains buried deep within the Earth, and maybe that’s for the best. The world of Mel’s Hole—like that of the Well of Baroot—reminds us of how the unknown can spark our imagination, fill us with awe, and make us question the very fabric of reality itself.
