Reading about the flat earth society on here again, made me remember another theory that some people believe in. There are groups of people who believe that there are civilisations living under the earth's crust and many networks of tunnels which the seas once flowed through. Now, I don't buy into the "Hollow Earth" theory, but whilst reading about it I came across another, more interesting theory - that Hell is in the centre of the Earth, at it's core.

In the mid 70's there was a group of scientists/explorers in Uzbekistan drilling for oil at place called Darvaz, which is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. They drilled down into a large cavern, where most of the rock had fallen away, until there was another hole in the earth that seemed bottomless. They heard what sounded like screaming coming from the hole and no-one dared to go down, also there was a large amount of gas escaping the hole, which they feared poisonous. The group lit the gas in the crater, which burst into flames and has been burning now for about 35 years non-stop! No-one knows why. The locals call this place "the door to Hell".

Here's another recording, with the screams of the tormented clearly audible:

According to Wikipedia, it's in Turkmenistan. Looks pretty darned cool too, figuratively speaking.

OK, I'm using this as the basis for a Call of Cthulhu adventure in the near future. 

Rev. Powell, I dunno about you, but I'm not hearing screaming in that video.  Sounds more like a tape being played at high speed.

Hell has a Coffin Joe movie soundtrack!

Sounds to me like they've got a fake Bernard Herrmann down there, too.

If you're an Andy Milligan fan there's no hope for you.

Why would Satan be playing tapes at high speed?  Backwards, sure...

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
