In the remote hills of Washington State lies a story too bizarre to dismiss — a mysterious pit said to have no bottom. What began as a strange call to a late-night radio show became one of the most enduring tales in American folklore.

Join Robert Barber as he unearths the true paranormal story of Mel’s Hole — a chilling piece of urban folklore that blurs the line between myth, science, and government secrecy. From radio waves to vanishing truths, this is one of America’s strangest mysteries.
