Witch's Grave at Hillside Cemetery in Oklahoma, Page 2

Paranormal Witches Grave in Skiatook OKlahoma Haunted

From the channel of URBEX and Broken Things.

I'm not sure if being "cased in concrete" is necessarily a means to ensure that a grave isn't disturbed. I've seen several such slab graves. A few were located in a cemetery not too far away from a long-abandoned seminary. At any rate, the video at the top of the included video is very interesting.

The Witch's Grave at Hillside Cemetery in Skiatook, Oklahoma, is a site steeped in legend and mystery. The story goes that a witch in the late 1800s or early 1900s attempted to resurrect her deceased husband using dark magic. The townspeople were so frightened by her actions that they buried him in cement to prevent him from being raised again. Despite this, the witch continued to dig up his grave, leading to the town's decision to pour cement over the grave to prevent her from bringing him back. This act of defiance led to the witch cursing the site, causing anyone who disturbs the grave to face horrific consequences. The Witch's Grave is a popular destination for paranormal investigators and ghost hunters, where visitors leave coins and flowers to appease any dark spirits or demons present. The site is known for its eerie atmosphere and the chilling tales of the witch's curse, making it a must-visit for those interested in the supernatural and the paranormal. Source: Google

Mel's Hole

Not Mel's Hole
Not Mel's Hole

Mel's Hole is a story presented as truth but is now considered to be an urban legend. According to various sources, Mel's Hole is a well-like structure nine feet in diameter and was encircled by bricks or stones. The owner of the land, Mel Waters, dumped his trash into the hole, and all the neighbors did too.

Two mysterious details stand out: Mel supposedly used fishing line in an attempt to find out how deep the hole is. He reached a depth of 15 miles (!) and still didn't hit the bottom. Second, a neighbor's dog died, and the man threw the body into the hole. The next day, the dog was seen, and he was very much alive.

Mel told his story to Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell. He claimed that the U.S. government bought his land (and the hole). Mel himself had relocated to Australia.

There are many inconsistencies in Mel's story, namely:

  • Mel's fishing line would likely encounter enough of Earth's heat so as not to survive a 15-mile-deep plunge.
  • Under no circumstances can a deceased dog return to life.
  • The hole is said to be in the area of Ellensburg, Washington. But there is no evidence that a person named Mel Waters ever lived in the area.
  • Searches in and around Ellensburg, Washington have come up empty. There is no evidence of a miles-deep hole.
  • Geologists have stated that a hole such as the one described is a geological impossibility.

The tale of Mel's Hole is an interesting story and first appeared in 1997. Unfortunately, it's just a story. It's almost certainly a hoax and will remain classified as such until the miraculous, magical, hole is discovered.
