It started with a phone call.... In 1997, a man named Mel Waters called into Coast to Coast AM, the legendary late-night radio show dedicated to the unexplained. What he shared was bizarre, chilling, and completely unforgettable—a tale of a bottomless hole on his property in rural Washington State that defied the laws of physics… and maybe reality itself. In this episode of Disturbing History, Brian unpacks the legend of Mel’s Hole—a seemingly endless pit that swallowed fishing lines by the mile, resurrected dead animals, and attracted the interest of mysterious government agents who may have erased it from existence. We explore: Mel’s original call and the surreal claims he made on air The strange behavior of the hole—and what happened to objects tossed inside Alleged government intervention, land seizure, and Mel’s mysterious disappearance Theories ranging from military experiments to interdimensional gateways The cultural aftershock that made Mel’s Hole a modern American myth Was it a hoax, a hallucination, or a glimpse into something bigger and stranger than we can imagine?Because sometimes the most disturbing stories aren’t written in the history books… They’re whispered over the airwaves— and they’re never heard the same way twice.
