The Unexplained, Natural Phenomenon In Washington Sure To Baffle Anyone

It's a beautiful place and a perfect stop for those driving across the state on I-90, but it rarely makes headlines.

Waters claimed that he used to own a rural property nine miles west of Ellensburg in Kittitas County that contained a mysterious hole. The hole, he said, had infinite depth and some pretty amazing capabilities.

Waters claimed that he measured the hole's depth by using fishing line and a weight, and it was more than 15 miles.

He said a rural resident had tossed his dead dog into the hole only to see it alive later with a hunter. The dog wouldn’t come to him.

Waters never told anyone the exact location of the hole. But several people claim to have seen it, including Gerald R. Osborne, a medicine man. But in 2002, Osborne tried and failed to lead a group of people to it.

And, of course, the hole's depth would be geologically impossible. But according to Waters, there was nothing normal about the hole. Waters told Bell others had seen a black beam coming from the hole and still others claimed portable radios held close the hole’s entrance would play programs and music from the past. Metal held close to the hole’s 9-foot diameter opening would change into other metals or substances. And here's the strangest part: Ellensburg Public Library Historian Milton Wagy admitted that the file on Mel's Hole disappeared from the local library.
