In February 1997, a man named Mel Waters phoned into Coast to Coast AM with a story so strange it would become one of the program’s most infamous legends. On his rural property near Ellensburg, Washington, Mel claimed there was a mysterious pit – a hole with no bottom. He said he had lowered fishing line more than 80,000 feet without hitting the end, that objects tossed into the hole never made a sound, and that bizarre events surrounded it: animals feared it, a neighbour's dead dog was supposedly thrown into it only to be seen alive again, and a bucket of ice lowered into the depths came back transformed.
