didn't read it all, but from what i could tell, the hidden thing was buried along with several wood/stone barriers along with an artificial beach that flooded the place if anyone tried to dig it up.

How about this? I don't remember exactly where I heard it from, but I think there's been evidence of a glowing pit somewhere in the world.

Like, there was an inexplicable sinkhole/magma vent/crater that went ridiculously deep, rumored to be a pit into Hell. Even a microphone was reeled down into it and recorded screams (from people, it sounded like) coming from within. The recording was from the 70s or earlier even. I don't recall, but I found it rather eerie.

It's kinda late, but I think evidence of this can be found somewhere online. Hopefully, no HFS come/came out of it.



Nevermind, found it. Caution for the non-religious types, lot's of Bible text.



The Truth About Hell
The document, and sound bits are in the middle of the page.


Here's a line from it:
Quote
Dr. Azzacove continued, ". . .the drill suddenly began to rotate wildly, indicating that we had reached a large empty pocket or cavern. Temperature sensors showed a dramatic increase in heat to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit."

Definitely HFS in there. They must've drilled through where there was no adamantium.

And further hearing that sound bit... Sounds like one hell of an army hidden amongst all those screams.

I've heard that sound-clip, pretty terrifying actually :(

Yeah, sorry, my bad there, I'm usually very big on the spoiler tags, but posting during class, so no time to review posts. Fixed.

Spoilered, though, if you break into the pits, all you have to do is to look around to see it...

There've been a few fiction stories about this as well...

The story itself was fiction to begin with, not that it stopped some people here. :P

I live in Nova Scotia, so I've heard a lot about the Oak Island Money Pit a lot while growing up; it's a pity it's probably fake.
Even so, it's an interesting story.
