(03:20):

Um but what do I do have for youis in the spirit of Halloween.
Doug and I decided we were goingto come up with fun, scary
topics, and this one soundedfantastic on paper.
And we're gonna we're gonna doit anyway.
Oh, no, it's this is gonna be agreat episode.
We found it.
(03:41):
Doug and I found a bunch ofportals to hell that are
scattered across the world.
I'm when I say a bunch, I meanthere's like fucking 40 of these
motherfuckers.
We each picked two one from theUS and one from outside of the
US.
And we're each gonna talk aboutwhat we came across.
(04:01):
Um, I gotta ask who wants to gofirst, boys.
SPEAKER_01 (04:06):
I don't care.
I actually have way too muchinformation on mine.
As in you should go first?
I can if you want.
If you want me to talk abouteasy bake oven.
SPEAKER_02 (04:17):
Is it your American one first that has a lot of
info?
SPEAKER_01 (04:20):
Yes, the the US one for mine has a lot.
The the outside US has almostnone.
Yeah, go ahead.
You you can start.
Okay.
Um, well, I so I chose out ofthe list of again, there was a
fuckload of choices we could do.
I literally I looked throughsome of the Illinois ones simply
because I'd never I don't thinkI've ever really looked into
(04:41):
like haunted areas in Illinois,like locations, spots, or in
this case, you know, portals tohell in Illinois.
Um, and so I thought, okay,cool, the devil's bake oven.
That's I mean, that can't be toosilly, right?
It's a little silly.
So this is it's located in theit's a small town of Grand
(05:03):
Tower, and it sits right alongthe muddy banks of the
Mississippi River.
Once well, while the MississippiRiver was used for shipping
freight um up and down theentirety of the center central
U.S., it was actually a boomingironworks town.
You know it's gonna be a greathaunted story when we get back
history of the industrialrevolution.
SPEAKER_03 (05:24):
We had back history of a lake.
SPEAKER_01 (05:26):
It's a river damage.
Sorry.
Yeah, fucking hell.
Um, so it used to be this thishuge ironworks town that would
import, export, and um basicallyprovide the entire central U.S.
with all of their iron and steelbase needs.
Um it's been a southern Illinoislandmark for years, thanks to
the vast array of tales thathave been told about the area,
(05:49):
including one of the most famousghost stories in the entire
region.
So during the heyday of rivertravel and exploration, a number
of people, apparently along thissection of the Mississippi River
that we now know as uh Devil'sBake Oven, was it it was a very
it was a hot spot for people tolike get just sucked into the
(06:10):
rapids and killed, whichhorrible, horrifying.
That sucks.
Um, thanks to this, the NativeAmericans that were in the area,
and as so the Illinois morebackstory, Illinois is named
after a uh Native Americantribe, and it's basically
because there were a lot ofdifferent tribes of Native
(06:30):
Americans in um Illinois in theMidwest, and so the Native
Americans thought that there wasa an evil spirit or a group of
evil spirits that lurked herewaiting to claim the lives of
unwitting victims.
Now, after the white man cameover and decided that this is
their land, they startedsettling in the areas as well.
(06:53):
And actually, some of thesettlers uh from Europe that
came over here actually startedbelieving some of the local
legends, especially some of theNative American legends, and
they too claimed that this areaof rocks was cursed, it was
haunted by evil spirits.
Um and they would get they gaveit the suitable name of uh
there's there's been two.
(07:13):
One of them is the entire rockstructure, which apparently
looks kind of like a spine, andit's called the Devil's
Backbone.
And it's this huge ridge, it'sabout a half mile long, and it
begins like on the northern edgeof the town of Grand Tower city
limits.
If you look closely, you can seethat a large piece of like the
knobby spine is missing.
(07:34):
Um, this is because it was cutout for a railway spur that
helped uh bring product in, fuelthe ironworks in the town, and
just generally make sure that uhit could ship out, it could
intake product and then exportproduct that was actually usable
for the American people.
Was it removing this part of thecurse?
(07:54):
Uh no, this is actually this ispart of the curse.
Yeah.
So the the reason that thereason this area is cursed
assumably is because there isjust too much commotion through
here.
Um this railway spur connectedthe ironworks, the north edge of
the backbone, there was a steepgap, and then the devil's bake
oven, a larger rock that standson the edge of the river and
(08:15):
rise to heights of nearly 100feet.
So it's it's kind of a landmarkon the river.
Um, and so once uh steamboatsstarted to come around because
of the industrial revolution,um, apparently piracy was
actually a huge problem alongthis river, and so that was and
this area once again was perfectfor ambushing boats, and there
(08:35):
was a lot of death involved inthe Devil's Bake Oven.
SPEAKER_03 (08:38):
Um do you get to why it's called the Devil's Bake
Oven?
Oh, they never say because Iimagine it's a play on easy bake
oven.
SPEAKER_01 (08:47):
Yeah, but why back when back back when the white
man was first settling the greatplains of the US and they
brought their easy bake ovensover from England?
Um no, I think it was literallyjust because it was a section,
it was a section of rock thatlooks similar to a furnace or an
oven of some sort.
(09:07):
Maybe they got on top of that.
There was also what it isactually there was a homestead
or a house that was actuallybuilt there as well.
And so this was actually tohouse the superintendent for the
the ironworks.
And this is where the cur likethe story starts to gain more
traction because it said thisarea in this land is cursed or
(09:28):
harboring evil spirits or justnot just just paranormal in
general.
Um according to the old story,uh there's a ghost that wanders
these this this whole area, thiswhole little like ridge called
uh Devil's Backbone, but it'sanchored to the Devil's Bake
Oven.
(09:49):
And the reason is because thisactually lays underneath the
house of the superintendent.
And the ghost is supposedly thesuperintendent's daughter.
Apparently, she was verybeautiful, and a lot of the the
men from the ironworks tried tocourt her, in which uh her
father kept saying, No, no, no.
She fell in love with somebody,and he basically confined her to
(10:10):
quarters for like months, towhere she got depressed and
eventually passed away.
And according to the story andthe legend, it's of a broken
heart.
And to this day, apparently youcan hear her calling for uh her
loved one.
I have no idea what the name is,nobody has made it out.
No one there is no namementioned.
Um Jerry.
(10:31):
And you can find all of thisagain, Southern Illinois.
Um, how long the girl hauntedthe place and whether she still
does or not is unknown.
Said that the ghost appearedlong after her father's house
was raised, uh, and the timbersused to build a rail uh a
railway station.
But does the ghost still hauntthe Devil's Bake Oven today?
If she does, she probably findsthe area unfamiliar unfamiliar
(10:53):
to her now.
The stone landmarks stillremain, but the land around has
greatly changed.
Yeah, they didn't have 5G backthen, so the antenna is probably
throwing her off a smidge.
I don't know how to connect tothe Wi-Fi, and that's that's
upsetting.
She's used to 3G.
Um, but again, it's there's beenseveral different types of
sightings, and a lot of peoplesay they don't know if the the
girl's ghost still haunts theland.
However, there have been otherghost sightings, uh, presumably
(11:17):
of some of the other deaths thathave happened, either um from
the piracy that happened there,from the people who were drowned
on the rocks, or just what mayhave you, but that's why this is
considered to be kind of like aportal to hell because a lot of
people who passed through heregot quote unquote sucked down to
hell.
Hmm.
(11:37):
It's a fun one.
I didn't know I actually didn'tknow this existed in Illinois.
I didn't think Illinois had toturn it off.
SPEAKER_03 (11:44):
Do we got Duluthie visits uh it's in Illinois, so
Duluthie visits the devil's easybake oven.
Yeah, the easy bake oven.
SPEAKER_02 (11:51):
Satan's easy bake oven.
Yeah.
There's actually a couple inIllinois on the list, so there
were, yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (11:57):
Um, do we do we all want to do our US ones and then
go to the Yeah?
I figured that's how we wouldkind of go about this.
SPEAKER_00 (12:05):
Devil's backbone is like in the bait, very, very,
very southern tip of Illinois.
SPEAKER_01 (12:09):
So it's like six and a half, seven hours away from
here.
I don't want to go.
I also forget Illinois is likenine hours long.
SPEAKER_03 (12:17):
I know, right?
SPEAKER_01 (12:17):
It's kind of terrible.
SPEAKER_03 (12:18):
Europe has no idea.
You can go from like France toPoland in like four and a half
minutes.
Ten hours, but god damn.
Um uh well, on that case, uh,who wants to go next?
Moody?
SPEAKER_05 (12:33):
Okay.
SPEAKER_03 (12:36):
So scary stuff, Jason.
Scary super scary, very superscary stuff.
SPEAKER_02 (12:40):
I will say, real quick, just in regards, some of
the images of this uh of Jason'sare pretty fucking scary.
Like they look fucking weird.
SPEAKER_01 (12:50):
Yeah, I forgot to send some of those for to throw
up on the uh the Twitch, butyeah, some of the images you
see, and it's again, it's justlike ominous as shit.
SPEAKER_00 (12:59):
I would say shadows it's just that that they're old,
is why it's right.
SPEAKER_01 (13:05):
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, we're scared of oldthings.
SPEAKER_00 (13:09):
Anyway, scared of old things.
Speaking of old things, I don'tthat's why I don't go to nursing
homes.
Um, so I got the seven gates ofhell in Pennsylvania.
So the seven gates of hell is anurban legend.
Real?
Fake.
Who's say regarding well it justbecause it's a legend doesn't
(13:32):
mean that it's fake.
SPEAKER_01 (13:35):
Anyhow, most legends are based in truth.
SPEAKER_00 (13:37):
And a place are based on legends near York
County, Pennsylvania.
So there's basically two ofthese stories.
Uh there's two origin stories ofthis.
The first one, the cooler one,is that there was an insane
asylum on this road called ToadRoad.
And it was where they just likekept all them crazy people a
(13:59):
long time ago.
And it burnt down.
And as it was burning down, theywere like, Oh shit.
The people that survived thisare gonna escape, and then we're
just gonna have all these crazypeople running around.
So what did they do?
Well, they beat some of them todeath, but the ones that they
couldn't beat to death, theyjust locked them in the burning
(14:21):
building with these gates, andso they just like apparent
allegedly erected seven gates toblock off all of the exits of
the asylum as it burned down sothat all the crazy people would
die inside of it.
And now all that's left is thesegates, and allegedly there are
seven of them, and you can onlysee one of them during the day,
(14:45):
and the other six appear atnight.
But if you can somehow gothrough each one of these gates
when you pass through theseventh gate, you're in hell,
you just end up in hellimmediately.
The other backstory to this isthat there was an eccentric
doctor that owned a bunch ofproperty off of this toad road,
(15:09):
and he just started puttinggates up.
SPEAKER_01 (15:11):
Um and I love gates, yes, and the passion of it.
SPEAKER_00 (15:16):
Yeah, for for the passion of it, and then somehow
he like cursed these gates, andnow they just connect to hell.
Oopsie whoopsie.
SPEAKER_04 (15:25):
And so oops, all hell gates.
SPEAKER_00 (15:28):
Same deal though.
Uh you could if you pass throughif you manage to pass through
all seven gates when you gothrough the seventh one, you'll
end up in hell.
Now, is there any truth to this?
SPEAKER_01 (15:39):
God, I hope so.
SPEAKER_00 (15:41):
Well, apparently there used to be an actual toad
road in the area.
So um the area that this isalleged to be in existed.
There was a hurricane in 1972, Iguess, that like blew through
the area.
And which how far inland canlike hurricane force winds get?
SPEAKER_01 (16:06):
Because Pennsylvania's not really that
close to the Pennsylvania's beenhit by hurricanes before.
SPEAKER_02 (16:12):
Okay, yeah, it depends on where the hurricane
comes in from.
Like, if it comes in throughlike the Carolinas, it'll
definitely be a very good idea.
SPEAKER_00 (16:18):
Yeah, I mean I guess it fucked up like inland and
South Carolina pretty bad lastyear.
So yeah.
But anyway, apparently that likewiped a bunch of this stuff out,
but the gates are alleged tostill be there.
The site that it's on is stillprivate property, and there is
evidence of at least one gateactually standing in the
(16:42):
location that this is uh allegedto be in.
So do the other six show up atnight?
I don't know.
SPEAKER_01 (16:50):
Sounds like we should go to Pennsylvania and
find out.
SPEAKER_00 (16:53):
We should just go check it out.
SPEAKER_01 (16:54):
Um I would love to do like we just like once a year
find a random ass place that wego spend like uh two nights in
and just explore the hauntednessof it.
I know Mike would love this.
SPEAKER_03 (17:07):
I'm not gonna spend two PTO days going to a haunted
building.
SPEAKER_00 (17:11):
We'll just talk about it there, Mike.
This isn't even a building, thisis just wood.
Just an area that there'ssupposed to be gates in.
So we'll just used to be abuilding here.
And it's private property, sowe'd be trespassing.
Hell yeah.
Sounds like a plan to me.
Um, was there actually anassaying asylum here in the
1800s?
(17:31):
Nobody's ever been able to findany record of such a thing
existing.
That doesn't necessarily mean itdoesn't exist.
Or it didn't exist, but nobody'sever been able to find any
record.
SPEAKER_01 (17:42):
It's like saying there is not a potato orbiting
Jupiter.
SPEAKER_03 (17:46):
You've mentioned potatoes a lot tonight.
SPEAKER_01 (17:48):
Is that yeah, I'm like 75% I've got to do.
SPEAKER_02 (17:50):
There could be a chair orbiting Jupiter, though.
There could be, but there is achair orbiting Philbus almost
constantly.
SPEAKER_03 (17:59):
I wonder if if you go on site, if you could find
some like evidence of like likescorch marks or something on the
ground or or damage to like thetrees from from when the asylum
burned.
Yeah, well, yeah.
unknown (18:13):
Maybe.
SPEAKER_03 (18:14):
I wonder.
SPEAKER_00 (18:14):
I don't know.
That would have had to have beena long time ago.
And the hurricane probablywashed it away.
Um that's true.
Anyway, so yeah, that's reallyall there is about this.
There's like really nophotographic evidence of any of
this, no documents anybody'sever been able to find.
It's just a legend.
But there is a movie from 2012called Toad Road that is
apparently about this, dude.
SPEAKER_01 (18:37):
So okay.
SPEAKER_03 (18:40):
Sounds like a Mario Kart track.
Toad Road.
It does.
Um well, Doug, what do you gotfor the US Hellport?
SPEAKER_02 (18:53):
So mine's a little more silly.
Little silly, if I had to say.
Um, so because I am in Florida,I chose one that was in Florida.
And of course, the closest thingto a gate to hell is what we
have, uh, is called the Devil'sChair.
(19:15):
And the Devil's Chair.
This is the most Florida fuckingthing ever.
Yeah, seriously.
The Devil's Chair is a brickbench uh that is located in uh
Lake Helen Casadega Cemetery.
Now, um this is in VeluziaCounty, Florida, which is like
(19:36):
maybe 30-ish minutes fromOrlando.
Um, but uh Casadega, the liketown, is often called a
spiritual uh spiritualistus.
Uh wow, oh my god, I just Icannot talk right now.
A spiritualist camp andcommunity, uh, because it was
founded by a guy named George P.
Colby.
(19:57):
Um, and basically this place isknown for like mediums,
psychics, spiritual healers, uh,etc.
kind of like living in thisarea.
Um, they say that this thisplace specifically has like a
sort of energy that draws likethose type of people to it.
Um it's like burning man for forpsychics.
(20:19):
Yeah, exactly.
Um so a number of these storiesthat are tied to the bench um
vary in their details, but thereare two common ones that we we
see often.
Um so the first one uh is if yousit in the devil's chair at
midnight, um, they say that thedevil will appear and whisper to
(20:40):
you.
Um some stories also say that uhsitting in the chair invites
like eerie experiences, uhfeelings of dread, um, hearing
voices, cold spots, etc.
So like you kind of openyourself up to uh paranormal
experiences.
But the the best legend is thebeer can legend.
(21:04):
And it says if you leave anunopened can of beer on the
chair overnight, by morning, thecan may be empty or opened, or
in some accounts, evendisappeared.
Still sealed.
SPEAKER_01 (21:19):
So, okay, wait.
Wait, wait.
An unopened beer, if you leaveit in public, it might go
missing, is what you're tellingme.
SPEAKER_02 (21:28):
There is in my mind no possible way that if you were
to leave a beer on this chair,that a homeless person would
drink it.
There's no way, it's just nopossible no couldn't happen.
Florida man strikes again.
SPEAKER_01 (21:46):
A writer made it up.
It's totally like a fair daycage homeless people.
SPEAKER_03 (21:52):
I like to imagine I know I mentioned it before, but
I'll I like to imagine a frateternity boy version of Satan
just going out looking like adouche, just shotgunning the
beer, cracking it on his skulland just throwing it out.
Like they keep leaving thesehere for me.
Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (22:10):
It's just the jersey devil.
He just shows up in his jerseyis fucked.
SPEAKER_00 (22:15):
I was gonna say it's not like a demon.
SPEAKER_03 (22:17):
It's it's not a demon, it's just a guy from
Jersey.
SPEAKER_02 (22:21):
Well, see, here's the thing.
SPEAKER_03 (22:22):
They keep leaving these fucking beats around.
SPEAKER_00 (22:24):
He's so sunburned that his skin's red, so he looks
like a devil.
SPEAKER_02 (22:29):
Yeah, no, exactly.
Yeah, I mean that that that'llhappen in Florida.
You fucking stand out there longenough, you're just fucking you
look like a devil.
So this going back to the firstlegend, right?
You've got the guy, you it theysay if you sit in the chair, you
hear voices, so you know there'slike some some crackhead or
something, like set up a speakernear the chair, and they're like
(22:52):
or they're just in the bush,they're just in the bush, like
just asking for a beer.
Yeah, they're like, leave thebeer here for me, please.
They're like, Whoa, the devilneeds a beer.
Okay, I guess I'll get a beer.
SPEAKER_03 (23:04):
Bring a Michelob Ultra next time.
Ooh.
SPEAKER_02 (23:08):
Oh, it's you brought me an IPA.
I really wanted a natty ice, andalso kind of a bump of meth, but
I'll take what I can get.
I need a new lighter.
Can you leave a lighter here?
Um, but yeah, the ingenuity ofthe homeless out in Florida.
(23:28):
They're getting smart, they'recrazy out there.
Um, yeah, this is like the mostFlorida shit I've ever heard in
my life.
Um you really can't.
I I I know I live in like thearmpit of America, so it's like
really funny to hear like theeven the urban legends are like
fucking wack-adoo.
So are you that's what I broughtto the table.
SPEAKER_03 (23:49):
Are you close enough to it to where you could
potentially go visit the chairleave a beer for yeah, it's like
an hour and a half from me.
I I challenge you to go to thedevil's chair and leave a beer
up there.
Do it, you won't.
But I need you to piss them off,leave a non-alcoholic beer, no
duels.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(24:13):
Leave a fossil.
SPEAKER_01 (24:14):
Yeah, maybe the next day the chair was broken to 93
pieces.
Uh and the local drywall waspunched into.
SPEAKER_02 (24:23):
I actually have way more to talk about.
I I got so backtracked on thebeer legend.
So, real in short, uh, if yousit in the devil's chair, they
say he's gonna appear, blah blahblah blah blah, right?
Um, the origin of the benchthough isn't super crazy.
Um, it was built in the 20s.
Um, it was a it's a mourningbench.
So basically, a guy um uh builtthe bench because he had like
(24:48):
really bad arthritis, um, and hewanted a place to sit while
visiting his wife's grave, whichis really sad, honestly.
Um, as much as we're laughingabout the beer can legend of
this guy.
So um, yeah, that's about it.
Um it was just a morning bench.
SPEAKER_00 (25:05):
It's straight up in a fucking cemetery.
I'm sure the cemetery workerscome by and just like pick that
shit up.
SPEAKER_01 (25:11):
Oh yeah, I'm in the chair.
Hey Ted, we got another beer,let's go.
This one is not gonna be arectangle.
What?
Drunk digging.
SPEAKER_04 (25:23):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (25:28):
We built this one six feet wide and one foot deep.
Well, anyways, that's mine.
SPEAKER_03 (25:37):
That's all I got on that.
I I have one which at first Iwanted to try to make into an
actual topic for each of us, andthen I looked into it a bit
further and realized nope,that's not enough for that.
Um, so I'm talking about.
Um I'm talking about the StollCemetery out in Stoll, Kansas.
(25:58):
So this cemetery is riddled withfolklore.
The stole in general is riddledwith uh folklore.
Um so in the 70s, there was aKansas University uh newspaper
that wrote an article about awitch's coven in the 1850s that
would practice black magic in umon the churchyard of this like
(26:21):
abandoned church that is uh inthe cemetery.
Um legend has it, these witcheswere also hung in the churchyard
as well.
Um ever since though, not onlythe town but the cemetery has
some very freaky and eerie shitthat goes on.
Lots of ghosts, lots of devils,lots of witches, lots of spells,
(26:44):
you you you name it, that'sthere.
SPEAKER_00 (26:46):
I'm always hung in the cemetery.
SPEAKER_03 (26:48):
Hell yeah, brother.
Um so Satan himself is said tovisit the cemetery twice a year,
once on Halloween and onceduring the spring equinox, which
both kind of tie in a little bitto witch paganism, paganism,
(27:09):
yeah, witch lure, all thatstuff.
Um there's um claims that the uhlegend also comes from like a
curse from when the uh mayor ofStool back in the 1850s was
killed.
Um this doesn't have muchcredibility to it though,
because back in the 1850s, uhStohl wasn't technically a town
(27:30):
yet, so they didn't have amayor, but they could have just
as easily have had some sort ofauthority figure that was killed
there.
Um there are other tales ofpeople that go into the cemetery
and they suffer from uh memorylapses, time skips, um, they
hear voices in the dark.
Um they're all uncredited, butwe get many reports of this.
(27:53):
Moot, you okay, bud?
You what's going on?
You alright?
You look in pain.
SPEAKER_00 (27:58):
I have this like a pain in my elbow for some
reason.
SPEAKER_03 (28:01):
Well, that's no good.
That's that's no good.
Charm.
Um he pi he impinged a nervereal quick.
Impinged.
Yeah, that's not good.
Um so left arm, right arm.
Are we having a heart attackhere, Mo?
No.
There's there is an abandonedchurch, like I said, that's on
the yard.
And in this church, it is saidthat uh you can still find some
(28:22):
relics from the witch's covenantthere.
Um people leave items there toappease uh spirits, and uh a lot
of black magic happens there aswell.
Um like I mentioned just ingeneral, which is one of the
reasons I wanted to talk aboutstole, was the town itself is
very heavy into like the ghostlore that a lot of the a lot of
(28:43):
the homes have uh hauntings thattake place in them.
Uh it is not like a town that'slike, oh, the local church is
haunted.
No, every single house therebasically has its own tales of
ghosts and spirits haunting andpossessing people.
Um so the whole damn town isjust one giant spooky fest.
Um it's to the point of thisplace being so unholy and so
(29:06):
unnerving that Pope John II,when making a trip to the US,
refused to fly over Kansas inhis plane, citing his desire to
avoid the quote unquote unholyground of the Stoll Cemetery.
So the Pope himself was tooscared to even fly over in his
(29:29):
plane, the Stole Cemetery.
That's how fucked up this placeis.
Now, a little bit of a downsideto it, I'm not gonna lie to you
boys.
A lot of this stuff, uh the thehauntings and the uh uh the
witches' covens, all that stuff,a lot of them do go uncredited.
There's no reports, there's nopolice files, nothing like that.
(29:50):
There's no names attached to anyof these sightings.
Um a lot of the theories of thehauntings pay.
basically stem from uh thelegends of stole just being a
tale that college kids wouldtell each other in the 70s uh
and it just kind of snowballedinto what it is today.
(30:13):
Um it's like it's basicallystole is pretty much became like
this college's like bloody marywhere it just kinda took on a
life of its own and became thislike a topa global yeah I guess
a topo topa but it's just likeglobal legend um all because
this newspaper wrote an articleabout a witch's coven.
(30:35):
Um it is kind of cool thoughbecause the stole cemetery does
pop up in pop culture relativelywell um it was a main uh like
thematical location in the showSupernatural which is kind of
fun um I don't remember thecontext but they went there to
appease um the town and to ridit of some like demon horde that
(30:56):
was going on there um and yeahcorrectly they accidentally
opened a portal to hell and letout a bunch of fucking uh like
literally all the dead well likethat yeah maybe that was it that
would make more sense with itbeing a portal to hell um but
yeah I I just thought that wasreally interesting that the fact
(31:16):
that it has such a big uh uhsuch gravity to it that even
this very popular show made it aa central theme of an episode I
thought that was very cool umthat's that's stole Kansas for
you though probably the mostinteresting thing that's ever
happened in Kansas honestly umon the back of that do you want
(31:39):
me to just start with my likeout of the US one?
I guess we're talking about thehell's mouth uh aka Bahia Di
Boca do Inferno what that mouthis found in what that devil's
mouth do this is found in uhCascayas uh Portugal I'm
probably mispronouncing all ofthat but essentially what this
(32:01):
is is off the coast here thereis a big cave system that is
basically all underwater in andand they call it the devil's
mouth mostly they call it thedevil's mouth because of the way
that the ocean waves crash soviolently against the whole holy
shit is this the location Ithink it is I don't know what do
(32:23):
you think did a wizard visitthis area yeah I'm getting to
the wizard I'm getting to thewizard so uh uh so they call it
the the mouth of hell uh again'sor the hell's mouth because it
is just it is this giant cave.
The wizard lizard the wizardlizard it is this giant cave
that is basically alwayssubmerged but um the amount of
(32:47):
like how violently the wavescrash against the s the cliff
sides and the cliff's mouth howmuch water this cave system
takes in um is is infathomablelike it's it's it's a large
amount of water unspeakable whyare you both looking at me like
that stop it what's happening ontheir side of everything
(33:10):
whatever anyway so look at thoselook at those eyes I know it's
creepy so other than that therewas nothing really here there's
no like portal to hell there'sno like hauntings or anything
like that that really happenedthey just really just called it
the hell's mouth because of howdangerous it was that is what
that mouth also is what thatmouth that is until I dug a
(33:32):
little deeper dig Doug's in 1930one remarkably well known wizard
slash occult man uh by the nameof Aleister Crowley the smelly
wizard himself the smelly wizardhimself Alistair Crowley
allegedly quote unquote died bysuicide at hell's mouth he then
(33:53):
shows up three weeks later inBerlin an expedition tour of his
magical works people thought itwas magic because they haven't
seen him for three fucking weeksso they're like he really died
and then just teleported over tofucking Germany that's nuts it
was even to the point that whilein Portugal Mr.
Crowley met with a famousPortuguese poet named Fernando
(34:16):
Pessoa that's a very one uhFernando Pessoa um he met with
Crowley and became uh veryfriendly with him before the
suicide um Pessoa I hope it'sbefore yeah he was very friendly
with him and then he killedhimself after he decided uh
(34:37):
Pessoa was even the one thatgave Crowley's suicide note to
the local authorities as proofthat Crowley killed himself uh
texts have been found um askingquestions about why Crowley and
Posa would uh uh Pessoa wouldeven be meeting together so they
found these like journal entriesum of like people in town asking
(35:00):
like why the fuck is thisCrowley guy here and why is he
meeting with this very famouspoet?
Um what's going on here?
Um what the the the there'squotes from the text one of the
quotes is what was the realreason for the meeting of the
magician Crowley the most evilman in England and Pessoa
Portuguese uh port PortuguesePessoa Portuguese national poet
(35:23):
that was hard to say for somereason it seems that Crowley may
have been trying to persuadePessoa to join him in his cult
and his uh you know his his darkweird a cult leader looking for
someone to join their cult inhis dark ways um the suicide
unfortunately for all of us wasproven to be fake since Crowley
(35:43):
was obviously still alive and inErlin.
Besides this aspect there isnothing too magical or creepy
about hell's mouth um there aresome claims that Crowley and
Pessoa did do some occult thingsin that area that caused these
quote unquote portals of hell toopen up boner magic.
SPEAKER_02 (36:04):
Yeah boner magic uh a lot of a lot of flowy's dude
so much can I just say realquick um I know we're never
gonna do an episode on AlistairCrowley which can we please
though it just doesn't itdoesn't make sense it doesn't
but like it's so much fun I willsay I will direct our listeners
(36:24):
to last podcast like three orfour part episode on Aleister
Crowley it is so good.
And then the other 90 episodesinformative drop random lore
about him.
SPEAKER_03 (36:34):
He's a very very sexual man oh god yeah he's a
sexual weird motherfucker he andRasputin Rasputin so um yeah uh
uh so people claim that they didsome occult shit here and that's
what made this a moresupernatural area others claim
that uh sacrifices for uh youknow like demonic sacrifices or
(36:56):
demonic doings uh were dumpedinto the sea into the mouth uh
so they they wouldn't be foundthere are no reports of this
proven though not found yeah umparts of Crowley's note are also
mounted via a plaque on one ofthe rocks at the mouth that's
(37:17):
weird and the plaque states Icannot live without you the
other mouth of hell that willcatch me will not be as hot as
yours which sounds kind of cooluntil you realize it's it's a
fake suicide note and it's yeahright like he's like your mouth
what'd that mouth do but in hellthis ain't as hot as your mouth
is ghoul you got a hot mouth yougot a hot mouth um but yeah
(37:43):
that's mouth so hot that'shell's mouth uh not a whole lot
on the Crowley portion of whatcould potentially have gone on
there that all was apparentlykept pretty hush hush but the
fact that Crowley was there begsthe question it's a landmark
what really was going on athell's mouth you know yeah any
any landmark for AlistairCrowley is something that should
(38:07):
be investigated if if not solelyto figure out what hilarious
weird thing was actuallyhappening there.
SPEAKER_02 (38:13):
Yeah yeah Douglas we're just gonna go in a horse
what do you got bewaged up Ihave uh what is called Cape
Matapon Caves in Greece um andthis is uh Cape Matapon is in
the southernmost point ofmainland Greece at the tip of
(38:35):
the Manny Peninsula in LaconiaPeloponnese which I apologize if
I'm butchering these names I'msure I was gonna google this and
show it but I can't I'm not evengonna make an attempt at
spelling that Cape MatapanM-A-T-A-P-A-N Matapan Matapan
(38:56):
it's literally exactly what doyou think it is Matapan um but
yeah as I type things into thesearch bar I'm on the VM that I
use to share the screen I'mconstantly reminded of our old
topics so as I typed C I gotConwaylife.com I just get like
(39:18):
random you have a war explodesthrough entire Pacific Ocean
paranormal prickparanormalprickheads dot com
Dolores Canon subredditsparanormal prickheads you forgot
about the the browsing historyin this browser is just like a
schizophrenic nightmare I don'tI don't think anyone from like
(39:39):
as long as we're logged into thethe fucking dilute login I don't
think anyone's actually likecleared the history yeah I've
never done it crazy a lot ofit's just me googling random
shit for like months on end sowhat to do when our neighbor's
dog's barking yeah which Ifinally had to call the fucking
I finally got the policeinvolved because Jesus Christ
(39:59):
but that's a whole another storyfor a bonus um anyways so yeah
uh so this is a mythic entranceto Hades which is what they call
hell in Greece.
SPEAKER_01 (40:11):
Um so these are some caves uh near a cliff face that
is like kind of bel above and atsea level uh on the cape uh like
where it's located and someparts are submerged um some
parts you can access from a boatum so above or near the caves is
the remains of a few ancientstructures and temples notably a
(40:33):
temple of Poseidon uh EineronI'm not sure if that's the
correct way to say it but theseare words that I wrote down so
they have to mean something andthen later uh a Christian chapel
from the Byzantine church waserected there um sometimes
called Aegeon Asimaton um againwords I wrote down she sounds
(40:59):
like a sex toy a robot with afat ass an asimaton an asimaton
got it um lit fuck a robot gostraight to hell robosexuals so
is that the fucking preacherfrom Futurama yes robose burn in
hell robot a lot of Greeks uhbasically believe that this cave
(41:27):
system or caves was uh one ofthe entrances to the underworld
um so we have Orpheus andEurydice orpheus you know I
don't know so the myth says thatthey pass through here in an
attempt to well pass throughhere in an attempt to retrieve
(41:51):
Eurydice uh from the underworldyeah which I guess now makes
sense because isn't theresomething in Hades like the game
yes literally Orpheus Eurydiceare like two of the like one of
the some of the best charactersin there but also if you love
Greek mythology like I do thisis one of my fucking favorite
stories in Greek mythologybecause it's like a testament of
(42:11):
human versus uh mortal versusnon-mortal will when does super
cool Orpheus pull Neo out of thematrix well you see um that's
there's a red pill and a bluepill um there's a plan B you
take the red pill a lot of theyou just listen to a bunch of
Nick Flint's gross I don't evenknow how to continue after that
(42:36):
anyways um so uh there's alsothe story of Heracles 12th labor
uh where he is uh it'spronounced Hercules the cartoon
taught us that we're off browe're gonna let you know push
the glad in gladiator Herculesisn't Hercules and Heracles two
(42:58):
different people no no they'rethe same fucking person just in
Roman and Greek HerculesHercules I'm gonna say Heracles
because that's how I wrote it sofuck you um they are said to
have dragged Cerebus up fromHades through this cavern um and
(43:21):
this is this is one of thevariants in Greek myth so uh
Pausanias among other author uhauthors um refers to the cavern
through which Cerebus wasbrought up from here um in their
stories so there's actually acouple different people who also
refer to this it's not like soone of the things that I was
(43:46):
learning when I was lookingabout uh looking this up is that
there's like this this wholegeneral area is just like a
bunch of caves on the sea rightthere's no one specific cave
that they ever like mention orthat someone can like pinpoint
and be like this cave is the onethat all of it happened in it's
just like there's like a big assarea and they're like it
(44:07):
happened kind of here ish umhere which is what I noticed
because they're like here andthen around um so yeah like when
you hear people talk about itlike when authors talk about it
when there's like a mythmythical person going through it
there no one's ever like yeahit's this cave over on my left
(44:28):
here it's just this area.
SPEAKER_02 (44:31):
So some other myths are that the poet Orion um who
was kidnapped by pirates andsaved by dolphins which I really
don't understand what thatmeans.
SPEAKER_01 (44:42):
I think so that the legend of Jack Sparrow is
actually based on this legend.
If you ever want to do a Greekmythology goddamn episode I'm
your dude I I thought jacksparrow tied turtles to his feet
not that's correct okay it'sstill the the the roping of sea
animals to to take them awayfrom imprisonment based on
(45:06):
pirates everything that'shappening right now.
SPEAKER_02 (45:10):
Yeah basically that horizon basically said that uh
yeah that that some some fuckingwriters were like yeah this
happened here um the sanctuaryof Poseidon is nearby which is
that temple that I talked aboutbefore uh which actually does
exist there in real reallifeness there are ruins there
(45:33):
um and uh the exact caves like Imentioned they're they're
written as the gate to Hadesit's just not known uh with
certainty like where they are uhidentifying the precise one is
ambiguous as fuck so uh somestories or modern tour guides
like exaggerate or romance theidea of going into the
underworld um but a lot of thetimes they're just folklore and
(45:57):
tourism stories that have youknow kind of just evolved
throughout the years um and youcan actually go and visit the
site um you can take uh a boator approach from the sea
depending on the water levels atthe time um like touristy stuff
like you can go see them whichis kind of funny um but yeah
that's uh that's like a classicentrance to Hades if you will
(46:21):
you know so yeah god I fuckinglove Greek mythology Jason and
the ARG knots that was oh shit Iforgot that was also one of our
possible titles for a podcastwas Jason and the Argonauts
there is a Jason and theArgonauts that does basically
exactly what we do check outthere was two huh I just said
(46:46):
can you imagine if there weretwo man how would we do it Doug
you look like a goonin overthere you good bud yeah I was
just goonin' my cat I want tojust care he needs attention so
I had to fucking are you thatcat's uncle no I'm his daddy
(47:08):
anyway oh he just drank he's sowet oh my god why hell yeah wet
pussy that's where it's a wetass cat brux I just I wanted to
point out a message that alphaprospect left in the twitch chat
a while back when Doug wastalking about the the the
(47:29):
Florida chair and he said legendsays copper pipes in the area
disappear overnight whether theybe from buildings or electric
wires or what you what you gotMooton oh shit I got the
plutonion at Heropolis my manstuff yeah I'm sure all that was
(47:57):
pronounced very accurately I Ithink I think so right the
plutonium plutonium a plutonionlike the founding fathers a
pluton I don't know how how elseto pronounce this a Pluto a
Pluton a Pluton no it's a Plutonbecause a plutonian would be
(48:19):
like from Pluto right from Plutoyeah yeah I think it's a Pluton
anyway makes me want to playSeven Wonders either way it's a
religious site dedicated to thegod Pluto hell yeah yeah not a
planet not anymore fuckingasshole dwarf star piece of shit
(48:40):
get the fuck out of here anywayin the ancient Greek city of
Heropolis which the only otherway I could pronounce that would
be Hieropolis maybe Heropolis Iguess I think it's Heropolis I'm
going with Heropolis that soundslike something I've heard before
anyway now it's in Turkey.
SPEAKER_00 (49:01):
Anyhow it was discovered in 1965 by Italian
archaeologists basically whatthis thing is is the opening to
a big ass cave that is therebecause it is sandwich at a site
where there's a seismic faultwhich basically emits this toxic
(49:22):
gas that the Greeks were likethat toxic gas is definitely
coming out of hell that thathole there definitely goes to
hell because it comes fromanytime anybody would go into it
they'd fucking die.
Anytime anything would breathethe gas that comes out of the
hole they'd fucking die.
Apparently back in the old Greektimes priests would prove that
(49:45):
they were holy by going downinto this tunnel and apparently
there was like bubbles of oxygenthat you could breathe if you
knew where the bubbles of oxygenwere and they would like breathe
they would go in for a coupleminutes breathe the bubbles of
oxygen and then come back outand be like see I can breathe
the gas that means that I'm holyand I'm I can die yeah they've
(50:06):
blessed me.
SPEAKER_01 (50:07):
Exactly so um like I said this was discovered in 1965
by Italian archaeologists it'sbeen sort of like uh restored
over the years there now sits aum a couple of statues one of
Hades and one of Cerberus thatsomebody like made and they put
(50:30):
them there because apparentlythose were there in the past and
honestly that's kind of thewhole thing the it's it's a
Plutonian or a Pluton um thereyou go dedicated to Pluto who is
the god of the underworldbecause they were like hey
there's this hole in the groundit kills things it's probably a
(50:53):
portal to hell and so they theymade a fucking yeah they did a
thing they dedicated it to him'srazor has really been a only a
tool for the modern world a lotof uh a lot of Greek stuff
happening I fucking love Greekmythology it's so like we wanna
(51:14):
go wrong it's so wrong we won'tgo hell so bad well Jason top us
off dude oh god I'm so sorry umI will say top us off it it's a
it's aptly named um what I'mcovering is named the gates of
hell and it's the uh the Darwazauh gas crater in Darwesi
(51:40):
Turkmenistan De Wazy Dewey um soit's deep in the heart of okay
ooh let's let's give this someuh some arch I don't know in the
heart of what oh never mindimpeccable vibes immediately
gone just deep in the heart ofTurkmenistan's Karakon Desert
(52:04):
fuck off and shut up god damn itdeep in the heart of
Turkmenistan's Karakom Desert afiery crater glows day and night
known colloquially as the doorto hell or gates of hell this
fire pit has been burningcontinuously for over fifty
years now that's that's a longfucking time that's a that's a
(52:24):
long time for a crater of fireto just be on the fire.
It's like that charcoal place orwhatever in Australia yeah yeah
is this the fire that we didn'tstart has it always been burning
this since the world's beenturning yeah anyhow so in uh in
(52:48):
1971 back when uh Turk Madisonwas actually a part of the
Soviet Union Soviet engineerscame to the desert in search of
oil fields a drilling rig wasset up to check oil quality in
the area but they quicklyrealized that they it was not an
oil field at all um it showed alot of signs that there were
like pockets of earth that werejust filled with something but
(53:10):
they weren't sure what and atthat time you kind of assume oil
uh that's the one god damn it uhfor your boy they said very
heavy rig on top of what theythought was an oil pocket which
should be able to sustain an oildrilling rig but it was empty
(53:33):
space that was filled withnatural gas um most of it being
methane and so this oil rig orthis this oil drilling rig was
much too heavy for like the landthat it was sitting on so it
created this giant fuckingcrater that measures about 230
feet across and 65 feet deep.
(53:54):
So this thing sunk six and ahalf stories and when it did it
set fire to a this like naturalgas pocket.
Now the entire camp crumbledinto a giant bowl shaped cavity
called the Darvaza crater.
Um and as they spent more timethere, scientists realized that
(54:17):
they had a fucking huge problemon their hands.
There was a bunch of natural gasjust like leaking out and they
were worried that it would causesome negative effects to not
only the the people livingnearby but the wildlife in the
area and they were not wrongbecause a lot of animals and a
lot of desert animals in thearea just started dying.
As soon as they entered acertain area it was almost like
(54:38):
instant death and it was all dueto this invisible underground
natural gas.
So most natural gas is mademainly of methane which as we
all should probably know methaneis flammable.
If you ever tried to light afart when you're drunk it's not
(54:59):
hard.
It also hurts um it also sucksit sucks oxygen up it makes it
very hard to breathe and it robsyour uh pulmonary system of the
ability to let your body operatemore or less so if you inhale
too much of this you will die.
And so again as they watched allthese animals in the area start
dying they started worrying thatthe the nearby village of
(55:21):
Drawaze might also be affectedby these negative effects and so
the decision was made to justburn off the natural gas because
you know there couldn't be toomuch and the estimate was was
given that the fire would burnfor like two maybe three weeks
like tops so you know 50 fuckingyears later this thing is
(55:45):
apparently it's still on fireand it is now actually it's
recognized as a nationallandmark um it's protected
underneath uh several differentconservation rules as almost
like a national park in TurknaTurkmenistan um although I did
just start reading that thefires are starting to go out and
(56:07):
die down which I mean that'sit's insane to me that a fire
can burn that long.
However I will say I could notfind a single like mention of
how this is actually a gate tohell.
It's just a big fire just a bigon fire crater oh my god it
(56:28):
looks like if you go in it yougo to hell immediately to hell
straight to hell straight tohell that could be it if you
undercook chicken and youbelieve if you overcook chicken
as well straight to hellstraight straight to jail.
SPEAKER_00 (56:43):
I've been looking at pictures of this thing and there
used to not be a fence around itand at some point they put a
fence around it and it looks waycooler without the fence around
it like why did it if somebodyjust falls like walks into this
thing I mean that's on them man.
I that's what I'm saying youcannot miss it.
That's what we call an adultproduction oh yeah Darwin Awards
(57:04):
are here for a reason.
SPEAKER_01 (57:05):
Like if you're gonna remove yourself from the gene
pool like don't make it myproblem.
Just have fun be safe but alsodon't make me a part of it.
Yeah no it's it looks supercool.
It looks like it literally lookslike partial hell on earth um
and it honestly it reminds me ofthere's a uh is it in Hawaii I
(57:26):
think where there's like a lavaflow that almost makes it look
like the ground is like createdfrom screaming souls trying to
escape from hell and like that'sthe whole pathway into this
fiery lava pit.
It reminds me of that and it'sthat one on the list Mike the
doorway to hell I fucked up onthat one.
SPEAKER_03 (57:44):
You did fuck up on that one.
Good thing Doug made the listand not me.
SPEAKER_01 (57:46):
So Doug fucked up on that why didn't you put that on
the list Mike made the list soum other topic so objection if
if anyone finds especiallyanybody at Discord uh who is
currently has two free handsthat can actually look this shit
up and once to post a picture ofthe mouth of hell from like the
uh the lava rock I think I thinkit's in Hawaii.
(58:09):
I could be wrong.
Yep it is but it's it lookssuper fucking cool.
Um this crater of natural gaskind of reminds me of that if
you're looking at it through thesame lens of let's pretend we
don't know anything about themodern world real quick and
let's just yeah the whole yeahit literally looks like it's
made up of body parts that havebeen singed to a fucking crisp
(58:32):
and it opens up into this giantyellow or this orange glowing
mouth it's like it's super cool.
SPEAKER_00 (58:38):
I would call this Satan's butthole if I should
have naming it because that'skind of what it looks like.
SPEAKER_01 (58:43):
Lucifer's sphincter Lucic we did it that sounds too
German anyway um that's that isthe rest that's the the only
information I have about um thedoor to hell or the gates of
hell uh in Turkmenistan there'snothing really super
supernatural about it it justwas a terrible tragedy for like
(59:05):
a week and then they labeled ita national landmark that's the
whole story.
SPEAKER_00 (59:11):
Yeah we're done here just let it burn just let it
burn that's what they said wellthere's probably not a whole lot
they can do I mean it there'sprobably like a constant supply
of natural gas coming out oflike those those veins.
SPEAKER_01 (59:23):
Yeah it's it's a massive system of just like
empty spaces within the earththat are it's they were
repressurized by the methanebuildup there and so as soon as
they cracked it open it juststarted coming out.
SPEAKER_00 (59:35):
It's but like the it's this basically the same
thing that's happening to thattown in Pennsylvania right where
there's like yeah there's just abunch of gas buildup inside of
space underneath the earth andit just keeps burning.
SPEAKER_02 (59:48):
Just keeps burning I think it's uh coal coal veins
coal vanes fire uh and they likekind of just spread throughout
the whole like tunnel system.
That's the town
SPEAKER_01 (01:00:00):
That uh that Silent Hill is based off, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So if you know anything aboutSilent Hill lore, like it's all
tied into that.
Underground fires that can burnfor a very fucking long time,
even if you assume there mightnot be enough oxygen.
Like it's some of the naturalphenomena you see, especially
ones that remind you of things,especially in the biblical
(01:00:21):
proportions of hell, like that'ssuper cool.
SPEAKER_02 (01:00:24):
Also, not a sponsor, but the new Silent Hill just
came out, and I've already beatit, and it's fucking amazing.
SPEAKER_01 (01:00:30):
Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (01:00:33):
Well, Doug Dimadang, everyone.
How spooky, how cool theseportals of the world.
I love talking about all thatshit.
I'm glad that we talked aboutthem.
They weren't as intense as Ithought they were gonna be.
SPEAKER_02 (01:00:54):
We went into this thinking that they were gonna be
way more like spooky orsomething.
I don't know.
SPEAKER_03 (01:01:01):
I assumed way more, way more Stargate hell portals
would be there, but not a singleone really.
But that's okay.
You know, that's is that it is.
We talked about hell portals,and I'm glad about it no matter
what.
Uh, I would also say, speakingof hell portals, you can find
yourself in a hell portal if yougo to our website, deluti.com or
patreon.com slash deludypod, oneof the two.

Oh, yeah.
Um, that's when I realized.
Yes.

There's so many holes out there,right?
There's a hole for any occasion,and you just gotta make sure
that you find the right hole forthe occasion.
SPEAKER_01 (01:02:26):
It might be the end of the episode.
SPEAKER_02 (01:02:28):
Are there more holes or hells in the world?
Who's to say?
SPEAKER_01 (01:02:31):
Which came first?
SPEAKER_02 (01:02:32):
Like doors and windows, you'll never know.
I know someone that says that ifyou put your in uh a hole,
you're going to hell.
SPEAKER_00 (01:02:42):
So keep that in mind.
Take that advice to heart,everybody.

uh housekeeping because as we dothe two recording thing, so suck
(03:20):
it.
Um but what do I do have for youis in the spirit of Halloween.
Doug and I decided we were goingto come up with fun, scary
topics, and this one soundedfantastic on paper.
And we're gonna we're gonna doit anyway.
Oh, no, it's this is gonna be agreat episode.
We found it.
(03:41):
Doug and I found a bunch ofportals to hell that are
scattered across the world.
I'm when I say a bunch, I meanthere's like fucking 40 of these
motherfuckers.
We each picked two one from theUS and one from outside of the
US.
And we're each gonna talk aboutwhat we came across.
(04:01):
Um, I gotta ask who wants to gofirst, boys.
SPEAKER_01 (04:06):
I don't care.
I actually have way too muchinformation on mine.
As in you should go first?
I can if you want.
If you want me to talk abouteasy bake oven.
SPEAKER_02 (04:17):
Is it your American one first that has a lot of
info?
SPEAKER_01 (04:20):
Yes, the the US one for mine has a lot.
The the outside US has almostnone.
Yeah, go ahead.
You you can start.
Okay.
Um, well, I so I chose out ofthe list of again, there was a
fuckload of choices we could do.
I literally I looked throughsome of the Illinois ones simply
because I'd never I don't thinkI've ever really looked into
(04:41):
like haunted areas in Illinois,like locations, spots, or in
this case, you know, portals tohell in Illinois.
Um, and so I thought, okay,cool, the devil's bake oven.
That's I mean, that can't be toosilly, right?
It's a little silly.
So this is it's located in theit's a small town of Grand
(05:03):
Tower, and it sits right alongthe muddy banks of the
Mississippi River.
Once well, while the MississippiRiver was used for shipping
freight um up and down theentirety of the center central
U.S., it was actually a boomingironworks town.
You know it's gonna be a greathaunted story when we get back
history of the industrialrevolution.
SPEAKER_03 (05:24):
We had back history of a lake.
SPEAKER_01 (05:26):
It's a river damage.
Sorry.
Yeah, fucking hell.
Um, so it used to be this thishuge ironworks town that would
import, export, and um basicallyprovide the entire central U.S.
with all of their iron and steelbase needs.
Um it's been a southern Illinoislandmark for years, thanks to
the vast array of tales thathave been told about the area,
(05:49):
including one of the most famousghost stories in the entire
region.
So during the heyday of rivertravel and exploration, a number
of people, apparently along thissection of the Mississippi River
that we now know as uh Devil'sBake Oven, was it it was a very
it was a hot spot for people tolike get just sucked into the
(06:10):
rapids and killed, whichhorrible, horrifying.
That sucks.
Um, thanks to this, the NativeAmericans that were in the area,
and as so the Illinois morebackstory, Illinois is named
after a uh Native Americantribe, and it's basically
because there were a lot ofdifferent tribes of Native
(06:30):
Americans in um Illinois in theMidwest, and so the Native
Americans thought that there wasa an evil spirit or a group of
evil spirits that lurked herewaiting to claim the lives of
unwitting victims.
Now, after the white man cameover and decided that this is
their land, they startedsettling in the areas as well.
(06:53):
And actually, some of thesettlers uh from Europe that
came over here actually startedbelieving some of the local
legends, especially some of theNative American legends, and
they too claimed that this areaof rocks was cursed, it was
haunted by evil spirits.
Um and they would get they gaveit the suitable name of uh
there's there's been two.
(07:13):
One of them is the entire rockstructure, which apparently
looks kind of like a spine, andit's called the Devil's
Backbone.
And it's this huge ridge, it'sabout a half mile long, and it
begins like on the northern edgeof the town of Grand Tower city
limits.
If you look closely, you can seethat a large piece of like the
knobby spine is missing.
(07:34):
Um, this is because it was cutout for a railway spur that
helped uh bring product in, fuelthe ironworks in the town, and
just generally make sure that uhit could ship out, it could
intake product and then exportproduct that was actually usable
for the American people.
Was it removing this part of thecurse?
(07:54):
Uh no, this is actually this ispart of the curse.
Yeah.
So the the reason that thereason this area is cursed
assumably is because there isjust too much commotion through
here.
Um this railway spur connectedthe ironworks, the north edge of
the backbone, there was a steepgap, and then the devil's bake
oven, a larger rock that standson the edge of the river and
(08:15):
rise to heights of nearly 100feet.
So it's it's kind of a landmarkon the river.
Um, and so once uh steamboatsstarted to come around because
of the industrial revolution,um, apparently piracy was
actually a huge problem alongthis river, and so that was and
this area once again was perfectfor ambushing boats, and there
(08:35):
was a lot of death involved inthe Devil's Bake Oven.
SPEAKER_03 (08:38):
Um do you get to why it's called the Devil's Bake
Oven?
Oh, they never say because Iimagine it's a play on easy bake
oven.
SPEAKER_01 (08:47):
Yeah, but why back when back back when the white
man was first settling the greatplains of the US and they
brought their easy bake ovensover from England?
Um no, I think it was literallyjust because it was a section,
it was a section of rock thatlooks similar to a furnace or an
oven of some sort.
(09:07):
Maybe they got on top of that.
There was also what it isactually there was a homestead
or a house that was actuallybuilt there as well.
And so this was actually tohouse the superintendent for the
the ironworks.
And this is where the cur likethe story starts to gain more
traction because it said thisarea in this land is cursed or
(09:28):
harboring evil spirits or justnot just just paranormal in
general.
Um according to the old story,uh there's a ghost that wanders
these this this whole area, thiswhole little like ridge called
uh Devil's Backbone, but it'sanchored to the Devil's Bake
Oven.
(09:49):
And the reason is because thisactually lays underneath the
house of the superintendent.
And the ghost is supposedly thesuperintendent's daughter.
Apparently, she was verybeautiful, and a lot of the the
men from the ironworks tried tocourt her, in which uh her
father kept saying, No, no, no.
She fell in love with somebody,and he basically confined her to
(10:10):
quarters for like months, towhere she got depressed and
eventually passed away.
And according to the story andthe legend, it's of a broken
heart.
And to this day, apparently youcan hear her calling for uh her
loved one.
I have no idea what the name is,nobody has made it out.
No one there is no namementioned.
Um Jerry.
(10:31):
And you can find all of thisagain, Southern Illinois.
Um, how long the girl hauntedthe place and whether she still
does or not is unknown.
Said that the ghost appearedlong after her father's house
was raised, uh, and the timbersused to build a rail uh a
railway station.
But does the ghost still hauntthe Devil's Bake Oven today?
If she does, she probably findsthe area unfamiliar unfamiliar
(10:53):
to her now.
The stone landmarks stillremain, but the land around has
greatly changed.
Yeah, they didn't have 5G backthen, so the antenna is probably
throwing her off a smidge.
I don't know how to connect tothe Wi-Fi, and that's that's
upsetting.
She's used to 3G.
Um, but again, it's there's beenseveral different types of
sightings, and a lot of peoplesay they don't know if the the
girl's ghost still haunts theland.
However, there have been otherghost sightings, uh, presumably
(11:17):
of some of the other deaths thathave happened, either um from
the piracy that happened there,from the people who were drowned
on the rocks, or just what mayhave you, but that's why this is
considered to be kind of like aportal to hell because a lot of
people who passed through heregot quote unquote sucked down to
hell.
Hmm.
(11:37):
It's a fun one.
I didn't know I actually didn'tknow this existed in Illinois.
I didn't think Illinois had toturn it off.
SPEAKER_03 (11:44):
Do we got Duluthie visits uh it's in Illinois, so
Duluthie visits the devil's easybake oven.
Yeah, the easy bake oven.
SPEAKER_02 (11:51):
Satan's easy bake oven.
Yeah.
There's actually a couple inIllinois on the list, so there
were, yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (11:57):
Um, do we do we all want to do our US ones and then
go to the Yeah?
I figured that's how we wouldkind of go about this.
SPEAKER_00 (12:05):
Devil's backbone is like in the bait, very, very,
very southern tip of Illinois.
SPEAKER_01 (12:09):
So it's like six and a half, seven hours away from
here.
I don't want to go.
I also forget Illinois is likenine hours long.
SPEAKER_03 (12:17):
I know, right?
SPEAKER_01 (12:17):
It's kind of terrible.
SPEAKER_03 (12:18):
Europe has no idea.
You can go from like France toPoland in like four and a half
minutes.
Ten hours, but god damn.
Um uh well, on that case, uh,who wants to go next?
Moody?
SPEAKER_05 (12:33):
Okay.
SPEAKER_03 (12:36):
So scary stuff, Jason.
Scary super scary, very superscary stuff.
SPEAKER_02 (12:40):
I will say, real quick, just in regards, some of
the images of this uh of Jason'sare pretty fucking scary.
Like they look fucking weird.
SPEAKER_01 (12:50):
Yeah, I forgot to send some of those for to throw
up on the uh the Twitch, butyeah, some of the images you
see, and it's again, it's justlike ominous as shit.
SPEAKER_00 (12:59):
I would say shadows it's just that that they're old,
is why it's right.
SPEAKER_01 (13:05):
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, we're scared of oldthings.
SPEAKER_00 (13:09):
Anyway, scared of old things.
Speaking of old things, I don'tthat's why I don't go to nursing
homes.
Um, so I got the seven gates ofhell in Pennsylvania.
So the seven gates of hell is anurban legend.
Real?
Fake.
Who's say regarding well it justbecause it's a legend doesn't
(13:32):
mean that it's fake.
SPEAKER_01 (13:35):
Anyhow, most legends are based in truth.
SPEAKER_00 (13:37):
And a place are based on legends near York
County, Pennsylvania.
So there's basically two ofthese stories.
Uh there's two origin stories ofthis.
The first one, the cooler one,is that there was an insane
asylum on this road called ToadRoad.
And it was where they just likekept all them crazy people a
(13:59):
long time ago.
And it burnt down.
And as it was burning down, theywere like, Oh shit.
The people that survived thisare gonna escape, and then we're
just gonna have all these crazypeople running around.
So what did they do?
Well, they beat some of them todeath, but the ones that they
couldn't beat to death, theyjust locked them in the burning
(14:21):
building with these gates, andso they just like apparent
allegedly erected seven gates toblock off all of the exits of
the asylum as it burned down sothat all the crazy people would
die inside of it.
And now all that's left is thesegates, and allegedly there are
seven of them, and you can onlysee one of them during the day,
(14:45):
and the other six appear atnight.
But if you can somehow gothrough each one of these gates
when you pass through theseventh gate, you're in hell,
you just end up in hellimmediately.
The other backstory to this isthat there was an eccentric
doctor that owned a bunch ofproperty off of this toad road,
(15:09):
and he just started puttinggates up.
SPEAKER_01 (15:11):
Um and I love gates, yes, and the passion of it.
SPEAKER_00 (15:16):
Yeah, for for the passion of it, and then somehow
he like cursed these gates, andnow they just connect to hell.
Oopsie whoopsie.
SPEAKER_04 (15:25):
And so oops, all hell gates.
SPEAKER_00 (15:28):
Same deal though.
Uh you could if you pass throughif you manage to pass through
all seven gates when you gothrough the seventh one, you'll
end up in hell.
Now, is there any truth to this?
SPEAKER_01 (15:39):
God, I hope so.
SPEAKER_00 (15:41):
Well, apparently there used to be an actual toad
road in the area.
So um the area that this isalleged to be in existed.
There was a hurricane in 1972, Iguess, that like blew through
the area.
And which how far inland canlike hurricane force winds get?
SPEAKER_01 (16:06):
Because Pennsylvania's not really that
close to the Pennsylvania's beenhit by hurricanes before.
SPEAKER_02 (16:12):
Okay, yeah, it depends on where the hurricane
comes in from.
Like, if it comes in throughlike the Carolinas, it'll
definitely be a very good idea.
SPEAKER_00 (16:18):
Yeah, I mean I guess it fucked up like inland and
South Carolina pretty bad lastyear.
So yeah.
But anyway, apparently that likewiped a bunch of this stuff out,
but the gates are alleged tostill be there.
The site that it's on is stillprivate property, and there is
evidence of at least one gateactually standing in the
(16:42):
location that this is uh allegedto be in.
So do the other six show up atnight?
I don't know.
SPEAKER_01 (16:50):
Sounds like we should go to Pennsylvania and
find out.
SPEAKER_00 (16:53):
We should just go check it out.
SPEAKER_01 (16:54):
Um I would love to do like we just like once a year
find a random ass place that wego spend like uh two nights in
and just explore the hauntednessof it.
I know Mike would love this.
SPEAKER_03 (17:07):
I'm not gonna spend two PTO days going to a haunted
building.
SPEAKER_00 (17:11):
We'll just talk about it there, Mike.
This isn't even a building, thisis just wood.
Just an area that there'ssupposed to be gates in.
So we'll just used to be abuilding here.
And it's private property, sowe'd be trespassing.
Hell yeah.
Sounds like a plan to me.
Um, was there actually anassaying asylum here in the
1800s?
(17:31):
Nobody's ever been able to findany record of such a thing
existing.
That doesn't necessarily mean itdoesn't exist.
Or it didn't exist, but nobody'sever been able to find any
record.
SPEAKER_01 (17:42):
It's like saying there is not a potato orbiting
Jupiter.
SPEAKER_03 (17:46):
You've mentioned potatoes a lot tonight.
SPEAKER_01 (17:48):
Is that yeah, I'm like 75% I've got to do.
SPEAKER_02 (17:50):
There could be a chair orbiting Jupiter, though.
There could be, but there is achair orbiting Philbus almost
constantly.
SPEAKER_03 (17:59):
I wonder if if you go on site, if you could find
some like evidence of like likescorch marks or something on the
ground or or damage to like thetrees from from when the asylum
burned.
Yeah, well, yeah.
unknown (18:13):
Maybe.
SPEAKER_03 (18:14):
I wonder.
SPEAKER_00 (18:14):
I don't know.
That would have had to have beena long time ago.
And the hurricane probablywashed it away.
Um that's true.
Anyway, so yeah, that's reallyall there is about this.
There's like really nophotographic evidence of any of
this, no documents anybody'sever been able to find.
It's just a legend.
But there is a movie from 2012called Toad Road that is
apparently about this, dude.
SPEAKER_01 (18:37):
So okay.
SPEAKER_03 (18:40):
Sounds like a Mario Kart track.
Toad Road.
It does.
Um well, Doug, what do you gotfor the US Hellport?
SPEAKER_02 (18:53):
So mine's a little more silly.
Little silly, if I had to say.
Um, so because I am in Florida,I chose one that was in Florida.
And of course, the closest thingto a gate to hell is what we
have, uh, is called the Devil'sChair.
(19:15):
And the Devil's Chair.
This is the most Florida fuckingthing ever.
Yeah, seriously.
The Devil's Chair is a brickbench uh that is located in uh
Lake Helen Casadega Cemetery.
Now, um this is in VeluziaCounty, Florida, which is like
(19:36):
maybe 30-ish minutes fromOrlando.
Um, but uh Casadega, the liketown, is often called a
spiritual uh spiritualistus.
Uh wow, oh my god, I just Icannot talk right now.
A spiritualist camp andcommunity, uh, because it was
founded by a guy named George P.
Colby.
(19:57):
Um, and basically this place isknown for like mediums,
psychics, spiritual healers, uh,etc.
kind of like living in thisarea.
Um, they say that this thisplace specifically has like a
sort of energy that draws likethose type of people to it.
Um it's like burning man for forpsychics.
(20:19):
Yeah, exactly.
Um so a number of these storiesthat are tied to the bench um
vary in their details, but thereare two common ones that we we
see often.
Um so the first one uh is if yousit in the devil's chair at
midnight, um, they say that thedevil will appear and whisper to
(20:40):
you.
Um some stories also say that uhsitting in the chair invites
like eerie experiences, uhfeelings of dread, um, hearing
voices, cold spots, etc.
So like you kind of openyourself up to uh paranormal
experiences.
But the the best legend is thebeer can legend.
(21:04):
And it says if you leave anunopened can of beer on the
chair overnight, by morning, thecan may be empty or opened, or
in some accounts, evendisappeared.
Still sealed.
SPEAKER_01 (21:19):
So, okay, wait.
Wait, wait.
An unopened beer, if you leaveit in public, it might go
missing, is what you're tellingme.
SPEAKER_02 (21:28):
There is in my mind no possible way that if you were
to leave a beer on this chair,that a homeless person would
drink it.
There's no way, it's just nopossible no couldn't happen.
Florida man strikes again.
SPEAKER_01 (21:46):
A writer made it up.
It's totally like a fair daycage homeless people.
SPEAKER_03 (21:52):
I like to imagine I know I mentioned it before, but
I'll I like to imagine a frateternity boy version of Satan
just going out looking like adouche, just shotgunning the
beer, cracking it on his skulland just throwing it out.
Like they keep leaving thesehere for me.
Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (22:10):
It's just the jersey devil.
He just shows up in his jerseyis fucked.
SPEAKER_00 (22:15):
I was gonna say it's not like a demon.
SPEAKER_03 (22:17):
It's it's not a demon, it's just a guy from
Jersey.
SPEAKER_02 (22:21):
Well, see, here's the thing.
SPEAKER_03 (22:22):
They keep leaving these fucking beats around.
SPEAKER_00 (22:24):
He's so sunburned that his skin's red, so he looks
like a devil.
SPEAKER_02 (22:29):
Yeah, no, exactly.
Yeah, I mean that that that'llhappen in Florida.
You fucking stand out there longenough, you're just fucking you
look like a devil.
So this going back to the firstlegend, right?
You've got the guy, you it theysay if you sit in the chair, you
hear voices, so you know there'slike some some crackhead or
something, like set up a speakernear the chair, and they're like
(22:52):
or they're just in the bush,they're just in the bush, like
just asking for a beer.
Yeah, they're like, leave thebeer here for me, please.
They're like, Whoa, the devilneeds a beer.
Okay, I guess I'll get a beer.
SPEAKER_03 (23:04):
Bring a Michelob Ultra next time.
Ooh.
SPEAKER_02 (23:08):
Oh, it's you brought me an IPA.
I really wanted a natty ice, andalso kind of a bump of meth, but
I'll take what I can get.
I need a new lighter.
Can you leave a lighter here?
Um, but yeah, the ingenuity ofthe homeless out in Florida.
(23:28):
They're getting smart, they'recrazy out there.
Um, yeah, this is like the mostFlorida shit I've ever heard in
my life.
Um you really can't.
I I I know I live in like thearmpit of America, so it's like
really funny to hear like theeven the urban legends are like
fucking wack-adoo.
So are you that's what I broughtto the table.
SPEAKER_03 (23:49):
Are you close enough to it to where you could
potentially go visit the chairleave a beer for yeah, it's like
an hour and a half from me.
I I challenge you to go to thedevil's chair and leave a beer
up there.
Do it, you won't.
But I need you to piss them off,leave a non-alcoholic beer, no
duels.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(24:13):
Leave a fossil.
SPEAKER_01 (24:14):
Yeah, maybe the next day the chair was broken to 93
pieces.
Uh and the local drywall waspunched into.
SPEAKER_02 (24:23):
I actually have way more to talk about.
I I got so backtracked on thebeer legend.
So, real in short, uh, if yousit in the devil's chair, they
say he's gonna appear, blah blahblah blah blah, right?
Um, the origin of the benchthough isn't super crazy.
Um, it was built in the 20s.
Um, it was a it's a mourningbench.
So basically, a guy um uh builtthe bench because he had like
(24:48):
really bad arthritis, um, and hewanted a place to sit while
visiting his wife's grave, whichis really sad, honestly.
Um, as much as we're laughingabout the beer can legend of
this guy.
So um, yeah, that's about it.
Um it was just a morning bench.
SPEAKER_00 (25:05):
It's straight up in a fucking cemetery.
I'm sure the cemetery workerscome by and just like pick that
shit up.
SPEAKER_01 (25:11):
Oh yeah, I'm in the chair.
Hey Ted, we got another beer,let's go.
This one is not gonna be arectangle.
What?
Drunk digging.
SPEAKER_04 (25:23):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (25:28):
We built this one six feet wide and one foot deep.
Well, anyways, that's mine.
SPEAKER_03 (25:37):
That's all I got on that.
I I have one which at first Iwanted to try to make into an
actual topic for each of us, andthen I looked into it a bit
further and realized nope,that's not enough for that.
Um, so I'm talking about.
Um I'm talking about the StollCemetery out in Stoll, Kansas.
(25:58):
So this cemetery is riddled withfolklore.
The stole in general is riddledwith uh folklore.
Um so in the 70s, there was aKansas University uh newspaper
that wrote an article about awitch's coven in the 1850s that
would practice black magic in umon the churchyard of this like
(26:21):
abandoned church that is uh inthe cemetery.
Um legend has it, these witcheswere also hung in the churchyard
as well.
Um ever since though, not onlythe town but the cemetery has
some very freaky and eerie shitthat goes on.
Lots of ghosts, lots of devils,lots of witches, lots of spells,
(26:44):
you you you name it, that'sthere.
SPEAKER_00 (26:46):
I'm always hung in the cemetery.
SPEAKER_03 (26:48):
Hell yeah, brother.
Um so Satan himself is said tovisit the cemetery twice a year,
once on Halloween and onceduring the spring equinox, which
both kind of tie in a little bitto witch paganism, paganism,
(27:09):
yeah, witch lure, all thatstuff.
Um there's um claims that the uhlegend also comes from like a
curse from when the uh mayor ofStool back in the 1850s was
killed.
Um this doesn't have muchcredibility to it though,
because back in the 1850s, uhStohl wasn't technically a town
(27:30):
yet, so they didn't have amayor, but they could have just
as easily have had some sort ofauthority figure that was killed
there.
Um there are other tales ofpeople that go into the cemetery
and they suffer from uh memorylapses, time skips, um, they
hear voices in the dark.
Um they're all uncredited, butwe get many reports of this.
(27:53):
Moot, you okay, bud?
You what's going on?
You alright?
You look in pain.
SPEAKER_00 (27:58):
I have this like a pain in my elbow for some
reason.
SPEAKER_03 (28:01):
Well, that's no good.
That's that's no good.
Charm.
Um he pi he impinged a nervereal quick.
Impinged.
Yeah, that's not good.
Um so left arm, right arm.
Are we having a heart attackhere, Mo?
No.
There's there is an abandonedchurch, like I said, that's on
the yard.
And in this church, it is saidthat uh you can still find some
(28:22):
relics from the witch's covenantthere.
Um people leave items there toappease uh spirits, and uh a lot
of black magic happens there aswell.
Um like I mentioned just ingeneral, which is one of the
reasons I wanted to talk aboutstole, was the town itself is
very heavy into like the ghostlore that a lot of the a lot of
(28:43):
the homes have uh hauntings thattake place in them.
Uh it is not like a town that'slike, oh, the local church is
haunted.
No, every single house therebasically has its own tales of
ghosts and spirits haunting andpossessing people.
Um so the whole damn town isjust one giant spooky fest.
Um it's to the point of thisplace being so unholy and so
(29:06):
unnerving that Pope John II,when making a trip to the US,
refused to fly over Kansas inhis plane, citing his desire to
avoid the quote unquote unholyground of the Stoll Cemetery.
So the Pope himself was tooscared to even fly over in his
(29:29):
plane, the Stole Cemetery.
That's how fucked up this placeis.
Now, a little bit of a downsideto it, I'm not gonna lie to you
boys.
A lot of this stuff, uh the thehauntings and the uh uh the
witches' covens, all that stuff,a lot of them do go uncredited.
There's no reports, there's nopolice files, nothing like that.
(29:50):
There's no names attached to anyof these sightings.
Um a lot of the theories of thehauntings pay.
basically stem from uh thelegends of stole just being a
tale that college kids wouldtell each other in the 70s uh
and it just kind of snowballedinto what it is today.
(30:13):
Um it's like it's basicallystole is pretty much became like
this college's like bloody marywhere it just kinda took on a
life of its own and became thislike a topa global yeah I guess
a topo topa but it's just likeglobal legend um all because
this newspaper wrote an articleabout a witch's coven.
(30:35):
Um it is kind of cool thoughbecause the stole cemetery does
pop up in pop culture relativelywell um it was a main uh like
thematical location in the showSupernatural which is kind of
fun um I don't remember thecontext but they went there to
appease um the town and to ridit of some like demon horde that
(30:56):
was going on there um and yeahcorrectly they accidentally
opened a portal to hell and letout a bunch of fucking uh like
literally all the dead well likethat yeah maybe that was it that
would make more sense with itbeing a portal to hell um but
yeah I I just thought that wasreally interesting that the fact
(31:16):
that it has such a big uh uhsuch gravity to it that even
this very popular show made it aa central theme of an episode I
thought that was very cool umthat's that's stole Kansas for
you though probably the mostinteresting thing that's ever
happened in Kansas honestly umon the back of that do you want
(31:39):
me to just start with my likeout of the US one?
I guess we're talking about thehell's mouth uh aka Bahia Di
Boca do Inferno what that mouthis found in what that devil's
mouth do this is found in uhCascayas uh Portugal I'm
probably mispronouncing all ofthat but essentially what this
(32:01):
is is off the coast here thereis a big cave system that is
basically all underwater in andand they call it the devil's
mouth mostly they call it thedevil's mouth because of the way
that the ocean waves crash soviolently against the whole holy
shit is this the location Ithink it is I don't know what do
(32:23):
you think did a wizard visitthis area yeah I'm getting to
the wizard I'm getting to thewizard so uh uh so they call it
the the mouth of hell uh again'sor the hell's mouth because it
is just it is this giant cave.
The wizard lizard the wizardlizard it is this giant cave
that is basically alwayssubmerged but um the amount of
(32:47):
like how violently the wavescrash against the s the cliff
sides and the cliff's mouth howmuch water this cave system
takes in um is is infathomablelike it's it's it's a large
amount of water unspeakable whyare you both looking at me like
that stop it what's happening ontheir side of everything
(33:10):
whatever anyway so look at thoselook at those eyes I know it's
creepy so other than that therewas nothing really here there's
no like portal to hell there'sno like hauntings or anything
like that that really happenedthey just really just called it
the hell's mouth because of howdangerous it was that is what
that mouth also is what thatmouth that is until I dug a
(33:32):
little deeper dig Doug's in 1930one remarkably well known wizard
slash occult man uh by the nameof Aleister Crowley the smelly
wizard himself the smelly wizardhimself Alistair Crowley
allegedly quote unquote died bysuicide at hell's mouth he then
(33:53):
shows up three weeks later inBerlin an expedition tour of his
magical works people thought itwas magic because they haven't
seen him for three fucking weeksso they're like he really died
and then just teleported over tofucking Germany that's nuts it
was even to the point that whilein Portugal Mr.
Crowley met with a famousPortuguese poet named Fernando
(34:16):
Pessoa that's a very one uhFernando Pessoa um he met with
Crowley and became uh veryfriendly with him before the
suicide um Pessoa I hope it'sbefore yeah he was very friendly
with him and then he killedhimself after he decided uh
(34:37):
Pessoa was even the one thatgave Crowley's suicide note to
the local authorities as proofthat Crowley killed himself uh
texts have been found um askingquestions about why Crowley and
Posa would uh uh Pessoa wouldeven be meeting together so they
found these like journal entriesum of like people in town asking
(35:00):
like why the fuck is thisCrowley guy here and why is he
meeting with this very famouspoet?
Um what's going on here?
Um what the the the there'squotes from the text one of the
quotes is what was the realreason for the meeting of the
magician Crowley the most evilman in England and Pessoa
Portuguese uh port PortuguesePessoa Portuguese national poet
(35:23):
that was hard to say for somereason it seems that Crowley may
have been trying to persuadePessoa to join him in his cult
and his uh you know his his darkweird a cult leader looking for
someone to join their cult inhis dark ways um the suicide
unfortunately for all of us wasproven to be fake since Crowley
(35:43):
was obviously still alive and inErlin.
Besides this aspect there isnothing too magical or creepy
about hell's mouth um there aresome claims that Crowley and
Pessoa did do some occult thingsin that area that caused these
quote unquote portals of hell toopen up boner magic.
SPEAKER_02 (36:04):
Yeah boner magic uh a lot of a lot of flowy's dude
so much can I just say realquick um I know we're never
gonna do an episode on AlistairCrowley which can we please
though it just doesn't itdoesn't make sense it doesn't
but like it's so much fun I willsay I will direct our listeners
(36:24):
to last podcast like three orfour part episode on Aleister
Crowley it is so good.
And then the other 90 episodesinformative drop random lore
about him.
SPEAKER_03 (36:34):
He's a very very sexual man oh god yeah he's a
sexual weird motherfucker he andRasputin Rasputin so um yeah uh
uh so people claim that they didsome occult shit here and that's
what made this a moresupernatural area others claim
that uh sacrifices for uh youknow like demonic sacrifices or
(36:56):
demonic doings uh were dumpedinto the sea into the mouth uh
so they they wouldn't be foundthere are no reports of this
proven though not found yeah umparts of Crowley's note are also
mounted via a plaque on one ofthe rocks at the mouth that's
(37:17):
weird and the plaque states Icannot live without you the
other mouth of hell that willcatch me will not be as hot as
yours which sounds kind of cooluntil you realize it's it's a
fake suicide note and it's yeahright like he's like your mouth
what'd that mouth do but in hellthis ain't as hot as your mouth
is ghoul you got a hot mouth yougot a hot mouth um but yeah
(37:43):
that's mouth so hot that'shell's mouth uh not a whole lot
on the Crowley portion of whatcould potentially have gone on
there that all was apparentlykept pretty hush hush but the
fact that Crowley was there begsthe question it's a landmark
what really was going on athell's mouth you know yeah any
any landmark for AlistairCrowley is something that should
(38:07):
be investigated if if not solelyto figure out what hilarious
weird thing was actuallyhappening there.
SPEAKER_02 (38:13):
Yeah yeah Douglas we're just gonna go in a horse
what do you got bewaged up Ihave uh what is called Cape
Matapon Caves in Greece um andthis is uh Cape Matapon is in
the southernmost point ofmainland Greece at the tip of
(38:35):
the Manny Peninsula in LaconiaPeloponnese which I apologize if
I'm butchering these names I'msure I was gonna google this and
show it but I can't I'm not evengonna make an attempt at
spelling that Cape MatapanM-A-T-A-P-A-N Matapan Matapan
(38:56):
it's literally exactly what doyou think it is Matapan um but
yeah as I type things into thesearch bar I'm on the VM that I
use to share the screen I'mconstantly reminded of our old
topics so as I typed C I gotConwaylife.com I just get like
(39:18):
random you have a war explodesthrough entire Pacific Ocean
paranormal prickparanormalprickheads dot com
Dolores Canon subredditsparanormal prickheads you forgot
about the the browsing historyin this browser is just like a
schizophrenic nightmare I don'tI don't think anyone from like
(39:39):
as long as we're logged into thethe fucking dilute login I don't
think anyone's actually likecleared the history yeah I've
never done it crazy a lot ofit's just me googling random
shit for like months on end sowhat to do when our neighbor's
dog's barking yeah which Ifinally had to call the fucking
I finally got the policeinvolved because Jesus Christ
(39:59):
but that's a whole another storyfor a bonus um anyways so yeah
uh so this is a mythic entranceto Hades which is what they call
hell in Greece.
SPEAKER_01 (40:11):
Um so these are some caves uh near a cliff face that
is like kind of bel above and atsea level uh on the cape uh like
where it's located and someparts are submerged um some
parts you can access from a boatum so above or near the caves is
the remains of a few ancientstructures and temples notably a
(40:33):
temple of Poseidon uh EineronI'm not sure if that's the
correct way to say it but theseare words that I wrote down so
they have to mean something andthen later uh a Christian chapel
from the Byzantine church waserected there um sometimes
called Aegeon Asimaton um againwords I wrote down she sounds
(40:59):
like a sex toy a robot with afat ass an asimaton an asimaton
got it um lit fuck a robot gostraight to hell robosexuals so
is that the fucking preacherfrom Futurama yes robose burn in
hell robot a lot of Greeks uhbasically believe that this cave
(41:27):
system or caves was uh one ofthe entrances to the underworld
um so we have Orpheus andEurydice orpheus you know I
don't know so the myth says thatthey pass through here in an
attempt to well pass throughhere in an attempt to retrieve
(41:51):
Eurydice uh from the underworldyeah which I guess now makes
sense because isn't theresomething in Hades like the game
yes literally Orpheus Eurydiceare like two of the like one of
the some of the best charactersin there but also if you love
Greek mythology like I do thisis one of my fucking favorite
stories in Greek mythologybecause it's like a testament of
(42:11):
human versus uh mortal versusnon-mortal will when does super
cool Orpheus pull Neo out of thematrix well you see um that's
there's a red pill and a bluepill um there's a plan B you
take the red pill a lot of theyou just listen to a bunch of
Nick Flint's gross I don't evenknow how to continue after that
(42:36):
anyways um so uh there's alsothe story of Heracles 12th labor
uh where he is uh it'spronounced Hercules the cartoon
taught us that we're off browe're gonna let you know push
the glad in gladiator Herculesisn't Hercules and Heracles two
(42:58):
different people no no they'rethe same fucking person just in
Roman and Greek HerculesHercules I'm gonna say Heracles
because that's how I wrote it sofuck you um they are said to
have dragged Cerebus up fromHades through this cavern um and
(43:21):
this is this is one of thevariants in Greek myth so uh
Pausanias among other author uhauthors um refers to the cavern
through which Cerebus wasbrought up from here um in their
stories so there's actually acouple different people who also
refer to this it's not like soone of the things that I was
(43:46):
learning when I was lookingabout uh looking this up is that
there's like this this wholegeneral area is just like a
bunch of caves on the sea rightthere's no one specific cave
that they ever like mention orthat someone can like pinpoint
and be like this cave is the onethat all of it happened in it's
just like there's like a big assarea and they're like it
(44:07):
happened kind of here ish umhere which is what I noticed
because they're like here andthen around um so yeah like when
you hear people talk about itlike when authors talk about it
when there's like a mythmythical person going through it
there no one's ever like yeahit's this cave over on my left
(44:28):
here it's just this area.
SPEAKER_02 (44:31):
So some other myths are that the poet Orion um who
was kidnapped by pirates andsaved by dolphins which I really
don't understand what thatmeans.
SPEAKER_01 (44:42):
I think so that the legend of Jack Sparrow is
actually based on this legend.
If you ever want to do a Greekmythology goddamn episode I'm
your dude I I thought jacksparrow tied turtles to his feet
not that's correct okay it'sstill the the the roping of sea
animals to to take them awayfrom imprisonment based on
(45:06):
pirates everything that'shappening right now.
SPEAKER_02 (45:10):
Yeah basically that horizon basically said that uh
yeah that that some some fuckingwriters were like yeah this
happened here um the sanctuaryof Poseidon is nearby which is
that temple that I talked aboutbefore uh which actually does
exist there in real reallifeness there are ruins there
(45:33):
um and uh the exact caves like Imentioned they're they're
written as the gate to Hadesit's just not known uh with
certainty like where they are uhidentifying the precise one is
ambiguous as fuck so uh somestories or modern tour guides
like exaggerate or romance theidea of going into the
underworld um but a lot of thetimes they're just folklore and
(45:57):
tourism stories that have youknow kind of just evolved
throughout the years um and youcan actually go and visit the
site um you can take uh a boator approach from the sea
depending on the water levels atthe time um like touristy stuff
like you can go see them whichis kind of funny um but yeah
that's uh that's like a classicentrance to Hades if you will
(46:21):
you know so yeah god I fuckinglove Greek mythology Jason and
the ARG knots that was oh shit Iforgot that was also one of our
possible titles for a podcastwas Jason and the Argonauts
there is a Jason and theArgonauts that does basically
exactly what we do check outthere was two huh I just said
(46:46):
can you imagine if there weretwo man how would we do it Doug
you look like a goonin overthere you good bud yeah I was
just goonin' my cat I want tojust care he needs attention so
I had to fucking are you thatcat's uncle no I'm his daddy
(47:08):
anyway oh he just drank he's sowet oh my god why hell yeah wet
pussy that's where it's a wetass cat brux I just I wanted to
point out a message that alphaprospect left in the twitch chat
a while back when Doug wastalking about the the the
(47:29):
Florida chair and he said legendsays copper pipes in the area
disappear overnight whether theybe from buildings or electric
wires or what you what you gotMooton oh shit I got the
plutonion at Heropolis my manstuff yeah I'm sure all that was
(47:57):
pronounced very accurately I Ithink I think so right the
plutonium plutonium a plutonionlike the founding fathers a
pluton I don't know how how elseto pronounce this a Pluto a
Pluton a Pluton no it's a Plutonbecause a plutonian would be
(48:19):
like from Pluto right from Plutoyeah yeah I think it's a Pluton
anyway makes me want to playSeven Wonders either way it's a
religious site dedicated to thegod Pluto hell yeah yeah not a
planet not anymore fuckingasshole dwarf star piece of shit
(48:40):
get the fuck out of here anywayin the ancient Greek city of
Heropolis which the only otherway I could pronounce that would
be Hieropolis maybe Heropolis Iguess I think it's Heropolis I'm
going with Heropolis that soundslike something I've heard before
anyway now it's in Turkey.
SPEAKER_00 (49:01):
Anyhow it was discovered in 1965 by Italian
archaeologists basically whatthis thing is is the opening to
a big ass cave that is therebecause it is sandwich at a site
where there's a seismic faultwhich basically emits this toxic
(49:22):
gas that the Greeks were likethat toxic gas is definitely
coming out of hell that thathole there definitely goes to
hell because it comes fromanytime anybody would go into it
they'd fucking die.
Anytime anything would breathethe gas that comes out of the
hole they'd fucking die.
Apparently back in the old Greektimes priests would prove that
(49:45):
they were holy by going downinto this tunnel and apparently
there was like bubbles of oxygenthat you could breathe if you
knew where the bubbles of oxygenwere and they would like breathe
they would go in for a coupleminutes breathe the bubbles of
oxygen and then come back outand be like see I can breathe
the gas that means that I'm holyand I'm I can die yeah they've
(50:06):
blessed me.
SPEAKER_01 (50:07):
Exactly so um like I said this was discovered in 1965
by Italian archaeologists it'sbeen sort of like uh restored
over the years there now sits aum a couple of statues one of
Hades and one of Cerberus thatsomebody like made and they put
(50:30):
them there because apparentlythose were there in the past and
honestly that's kind of thewhole thing the it's it's a
Plutonian or a Pluton um thereyou go dedicated to Pluto who is
the god of the underworldbecause they were like hey
there's this hole in the groundit kills things it's probably a
(50:53):
portal to hell and so they theymade a fucking yeah they did a
thing they dedicated it to him'srazor has really been a only a
tool for the modern world a lotof uh a lot of Greek stuff
happening I fucking love Greekmythology it's so like we wanna
(51:14):
go wrong it's so wrong we won'tgo hell so bad well Jason top us
off dude oh god I'm so sorry umI will say top us off it it's a
it's aptly named um what I'mcovering is named the gates of
hell and it's the uh the Darwazauh gas crater in Darwesi
(51:40):
Turkmenistan De Wazy Dewey um soit's deep in the heart of okay
ooh let's let's give this someuh some arch I don't know in the
heart of what oh never mindimpeccable vibes immediately
gone just deep in the heart ofTurkmenistan's Karakon Desert
(52:04):
fuck off and shut up god damn itdeep in the heart of
Turkmenistan's Karakom Desert afiery crater glows day and night
known colloquially as the doorto hell or gates of hell this
fire pit has been burningcontinuously for over fifty
years now that's that's a longfucking time that's a that's a
(52:24):
long time for a crater of fireto just be on the fire.
It's like that charcoal place orwhatever in Australia yeah yeah
is this the fire that we didn'tstart has it always been burning
this since the world's beenturning yeah anyhow so in uh in
(52:48):
1971 back when uh Turk Madisonwas actually a part of the
Soviet Union Soviet engineerscame to the desert in search of
oil fields a drilling rig wasset up to check oil quality in
the area but they quicklyrealized that they it was not an
oil field at all um it showed alot of signs that there were
like pockets of earth that werejust filled with something but
(53:10):
they weren't sure what and atthat time you kind of assume oil
uh that's the one god damn it uhfor your boy they said very
heavy rig on top of what theythought was an oil pocket which
should be able to sustain an oildrilling rig but it was empty
(53:33):
space that was filled withnatural gas um most of it being
methane and so this oil rig orthis this oil drilling rig was
much too heavy for like the landthat it was sitting on so it
created this giant fuckingcrater that measures about 230
feet across and 65 feet deep.
(53:54):
So this thing sunk six and ahalf stories and when it did it
set fire to a this like naturalgas pocket.
Now the entire camp crumbledinto a giant bowl shaped cavity
called the Darvaza crater.
Um and as they spent more timethere, scientists realized that
(54:17):
they had a fucking huge problemon their hands.
There was a bunch of natural gasjust like leaking out and they
were worried that it would causesome negative effects to not
only the the people livingnearby but the wildlife in the
area and they were not wrongbecause a lot of animals and a
lot of desert animals in thearea just started dying.
As soon as they entered acertain area it was almost like
(54:38):
instant death and it was all dueto this invisible underground
natural gas.
So most natural gas is mademainly of methane which as we
all should probably know methaneis flammable.
If you ever tried to light afart when you're drunk it's not
(54:59):
hard.
It also hurts um it also sucksit sucks oxygen up it makes it
very hard to breathe and it robsyour uh pulmonary system of the
ability to let your body operatemore or less so if you inhale
too much of this you will die.
And so again as they watched allthese animals in the area start
dying they started worrying thatthe the nearby village of
(55:21):
Drawaze might also be affectedby these negative effects and so
the decision was made to justburn off the natural gas because
you know there couldn't be toomuch and the estimate was was
given that the fire would burnfor like two maybe three weeks
like tops so you know 50 fuckingyears later this thing is
(55:45):
apparently it's still on fireand it is now actually it's
recognized as a nationallandmark um it's protected
underneath uh several differentconservation rules as almost
like a national park in TurknaTurkmenistan um although I did
just start reading that thefires are starting to go out and
(56:07):
die down which I mean that'sit's insane to me that a fire
can burn that long.
However I will say I could notfind a single like mention of
how this is actually a gate tohell.
It's just a big fire just a bigon fire crater oh my god it
(56:28):
looks like if you go in it yougo to hell immediately to hell
straight to hell straight tohell that could be it if you
undercook chicken and youbelieve if you overcook chicken
as well straight to hellstraight straight to jail.
SPEAKER_00 (56:43):
I've been looking at pictures of this thing and there
used to not be a fence around itand at some point they put a
fence around it and it looks waycooler without the fence around
it like why did it if somebodyjust falls like walks into this
thing I mean that's on them man.
I that's what I'm saying youcannot miss it.
That's what we call an adultproduction oh yeah Darwin Awards
(57:04):
are here for a reason.
SPEAKER_01 (57:05):
Like if you're gonna remove yourself from the gene
pool like don't make it myproblem.
Just have fun be safe but alsodon't make me a part of it.
Yeah no it's it looks supercool.
It looks like it literally lookslike partial hell on earth um
and it honestly it reminds me ofthere's a uh is it in Hawaii I
(57:26):
think where there's like a lavaflow that almost makes it look
like the ground is like createdfrom screaming souls trying to
escape from hell and like that'sthe whole pathway into this
fiery lava pit.
It reminds me of that and it'sthat one on the list Mike the
doorway to hell I fucked up onthat one.
SPEAKER_03 (57:44):
You did fuck up on that one.
Good thing Doug made the listand not me.
SPEAKER_01 (57:46):
So Doug fucked up on that why didn't you put that on
the list Mike made the list soum other topic so objection if
if anyone finds especiallyanybody at Discord uh who is
currently has two free handsthat can actually look this shit
up and once to post a picture ofthe mouth of hell from like the
uh the lava rock I think I thinkit's in Hawaii.
(58:09):
I could be wrong.
Yep it is but it's it lookssuper fucking cool.
Um this crater of natural gaskind of reminds me of that if
you're looking at it through thesame lens of let's pretend we
don't know anything about themodern world real quick and
let's just yeah the whole yeahit literally looks like it's
made up of body parts that havebeen singed to a fucking crisp
(58:32):
and it opens up into this giantyellow or this orange glowing
mouth it's like it's super cool.
SPEAKER_00 (58:38):
I would call this Satan's butthole if I should
have naming it because that'skind of what it looks like.
SPEAKER_01 (58:43):
Lucifer's sphincter Lucic we did it that sounds too
German anyway um that's that isthe rest that's the the only
information I have about um thedoor to hell or the gates of
hell uh in Turkmenistan there'snothing really super
supernatural about it it justwas a terrible tragedy for like
(59:05):
a week and then they labeled ita national landmark that's the
whole story.
SPEAKER_00 (59:11):
Yeah we're done here just let it burn just let it
burn that's what they said wellthere's probably not a whole lot
they can do I mean it there'sprobably like a constant supply
of natural gas coming out oflike those those veins.
SPEAKER_01 (59:23):
Yeah it's it's a massive system of just like
empty spaces within the earththat are it's they were
repressurized by the methanebuildup there and so as soon as
they cracked it open it juststarted coming out.
SPEAKER_00 (59:35):
It's but like the it's this basically the same
thing that's happening to thattown in Pennsylvania right where
there's like yeah there's just abunch of gas buildup inside of
space underneath the earth andit just keeps burning.
SPEAKER_02 (59:48):
Just keeps burning I think it's uh coal coal veins
coal vanes fire uh and they likekind of just spread throughout
the whole like tunnel system.
That's the town
SPEAKER_01 (01:00:00):
That uh that Silent Hill is based off, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So if you know anything aboutSilent Hill lore, like it's all
tied into that.
Underground fires that can burnfor a very fucking long time,
even if you assume there mightnot be enough oxygen.
Like it's some of the naturalphenomena you see, especially
ones that remind you of things,especially in the biblical
(01:00:21):
proportions of hell, like that'ssuper cool.
SPEAKER_02 (01:00:24):
Also, not a sponsor, but the new Silent Hill just
came out, and I've already beatit, and it's fucking amazing.
SPEAKER_01 (01:00:30):
Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (01:00:33):
Well, Doug Dimadang, everyone.
How spooky, how cool theseportals of the world.
I love talking about all thatshit.
I'm glad that we talked aboutthem.
They weren't as intense as Ithought they were gonna be.
SPEAKER_02 (01:00:54):
We went into this thinking that they were gonna be
way more like spooky orsomething.
I don't know.
SPEAKER_03 (01:01:01):
I assumed way more, way more Stargate hell portals
would be there, but not a singleone really.
But that's okay.
You know, that's is that it is.
We talked about hell portals,and I'm glad about it no matter
what.

that you find the right hole forthe occasion.
SPEAKER_01 (01:02:26):

Who's to say?
SPEAKER_01 (01:02:31):

SPEAKER_02 (01:02:32):
Like doors and windows, you'll never know.
I know someone that says that ifyou put your in uh a hole,
you're going to hell.
SPEAKER_00 (01:02:42):
So keep that in mind.
