Mel’s Hole
In 1997 a man named Melvin Waters called into the radio show Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell. On the show he made the claim that on his property in Ellensburg Washington (Kittitas County) was a magical bottomless hole.
Mel said he sent down over 15 miles (over 80k feet) of fishing line with a weight attached to the end but was unable to find a bottom which led him to proclaim the hole as bottomless.
He stated that his neighbors mostly used it as a trash dump but some of them would use it as a place to dump their dead pets, only to be horrified when those dead pets would come back to life. He also claimed to have seen UFO activity nearby.
After his segment on the radio show was aired, he claimed that he was blocked from his own property due to some kind of “plane crash” and that he was warned by uniformed officials to not interfere and that if he did, a drug lab could easily be “found” on his property. The same uniformed officials offered to lease his property from him to which he agreed.
Local news reporters who investigated the claims found no public records of anyone named Mel Waters ever residing in, or owning property in Kittitas County
