Mel's Hole: The Bottomless Pit of Manastash Ridge

Subject reported anomalous geological formation with unexplained properties to civilian radio program. Initial report described excavation of unknown depth exhibiting temporal audio phenomena and biological resurrection effects. Follow-up communications indicated federal intervention and property acquisition. No official records of government involvement or property seizure have been located. Extensive field investigations by civilian researchers have failed to identify reported formation. Subject's identity remains unverified through public records searches.

Despite two decades of investigation, no physical evidence supports Mel Waters' claims. The lack of verifiable identity, absence of property records, and increasingly fantastical follow-up stories suggest an elaborate hoax. Washington state geological surveys show no unusual formations matching the description on Manastash Ridge. The story likely represents a creative fiction that captivated listeners, demonstrating how unverified claims can achieve legendary status in paranormal circles without factual foundation.
