I actually loved scripting this.
I like a healthy dose of mysticism I really do!
Welcome back to the mAT10!
I am your host Rebecca Felgate but for one video only you can call me Rebecca Hell Gate
because I am a demoooon and we’re talking Top 10 Real Gateways To Hell You Should Never
Visit .
MWAHHAHAHHAHAHA Editors can you do a flame background and
make me scary please?
Yeah.
That’s right!
Before we get into this video though why don’t you guys let me know if you believe in hell....
I don’t... but I do believe in ghosts so... go figure...I also believe in spooky places
and a lot of these places are just that!
10 - The Russian Forest Eating Hellmouth Ah...hello there nature eating hell hole!
The 300ft Batagaika crater dates back 50 years and is thought to be a Doorway to the Underworld.
It seems that the crater is expanding at the rate of 30 to 100 ft each year, swallowing
forest as it goes.
The science behind the slow sink is that as As a permafrost continues to thaw away its
layers, the ground underneath becomes more exposed.
Villagers from the area believe that it is a portal to hell, reporting horrifying sounds
coming from the hole.
Their village may also soon be at risk of falling in.
Probably time to start praying....or a practical option... moving!
Open wiiiiideee...
9 - The Gardens of Bomarzo in Italy are coming in next.
Hello there sir!
Why, you look mighty hungry!
Cripes.
This cavey sculpture is an Orcus...an ogre, but it looks somewhat hellmouthy to me!
It seems that the Orcus mouth appeared in an italian horror film in 1964.
Would you pop in to this ogres hellish mouth?
I think I actually might!
Apparently this garden was a huge inspiration to artists Jean Cocteau and my Salvador Dali...so...
I am IN.
Anyone up for a trip to Northern Lazio in Italy?
Let’s GO!
Hell or no hell, our next place is a ghost town.
8 - Centralia – The Burning Town
There is a town in deep dark Pennsylvania that has been abandoned?
Why?
Well... it is on fire and is now considered by some people to be a literal hellmouth.
The town had been an active mine since the mid 1800s and was particularly booming between
the 1940s to 60s.
Unfortunately since 1962 it has been burning from the inside.
It is suspected a fire started from deliberate trash burning in the mine.... buuuut the fire
caught a plume of gas and could well keep burning for over 250 years.
The residents first noticed the fire when smoke began billowing from the ground accompanied
by a foul smell of burning trash.
Not only that, carbon monoxide was detected seeping from the ground.
With temperatures hotter than mercury, it was decided that it was too dangerous to put
out the flames and as a result the town was evacuated slowly, but many remained until
1981 when sink holes billowing poison gas started appearing.
Sooo yaaah...stay away from Centralia.
I do enjoy a good Icelandic Legend – at number 7 we have Mount Hekla.
You can understand why a lot of historic civilizations believed that Volcanoes were portals to hell...because...
you know...fire fire...doom doom, etc... but it seems that most travelling Europeans had
marked Icelands super active Mount Hekla as the Gates of Hell!
In fact in the 16th Century, Caspar Peucer of Germany wrote that the Gates of Hell were
located in “the bottomless abyss of Hekla Fell” ...so... yeah!
In Icelandic lore it is said that witches gather on the volcano and that birds seen
in the area are lost souls.
I loveeee a good bit of imagination!
Some even believe that Judas himself is imprisoned in Mount Hekla!
The Mountain has historically and presently been VERY active!
It has been known to spew giant lava bombs of fire into the sky, which hasn’t exactly
done wonders for its rep.
This hell gate has been noted to have erupted 20 times in traceable history, including violent
eruptions in 1104 and again in 1693.
The most recent eruption was in the year 2000.
6 - Are the gates to hell hiding in England?!
I have begun to suspect as much!
Creswell Crags.
The Creswell Crags are an enclosed limestone cave system on the border of Nottinghamshire
and Derbyshire... not a million miles away from where Danny Burke is from, actually.
So it seems earlier in 2019 quote un quote witch marks in the walls of the limestone
leading down to a deep dark hole that has never been explored.
Ever.
An unxplored part of the earth in the sleepy English countryside with witch marks to defend
against dark forces.... uuumm....CURSED.
Can the gateway to hell be found in an American Storm Drain?
Find out at number 5 as we Descend to Clifton, New Jersey
It seems that an abandoned storm drain in Passaic County is the subject of a New Jersey
Urban Legend.
It is believed that it is the gateway to hell...or at the very least, is a hot spot for paranormal
goings on.
It is said that the drain is filled with strange objects, occultist graffiti and locked rooms.
The legend says there is a room only accessible to people with super human strength.
The room is said to the lead to a labrinth of passageways that descend down to Beelzebub
himself.
The big D man.
Devil.
This Deep Hell Hole will KILL you - 4 - Berkeley Pit in Montana.
Is it a former copper mine or is it a portal to the underworld?
Maybe a bit of both.
The Berkely pit is one mile long and half a mile wide.
It is a whopping 1 thousand 780 feet deep, 900feet of which is filled with very acidic
water.
The acidity of the water is PH 2.5, which is similar to the acidity of lemon juice.
Because of the corrosive nature of the water, various dangerous chemicals have developed
in the water from corroded metals and rock… making in a very poisonous deep hole.
I don’t believe in hell.... but I do believe in Arsenic and sulphuric acid, which are chemicals
found in the hell hole that have been known to kill hundreds of birds and other wildlife.
3 - Plutos Gate
The fabled door to the underworld was discovered in Turkey in 2013.
It seems that the site was actually prominent in Greek and Roman history and, true to legend,
the real gate seemed to emit a poisonous gas.
The gate was found around the dig site of the ancient city of Hierapolis.
The so called gate is at the site of an ancient thermal spring that was said to have healing
properties but was a portal to hell that would open at a moments notice.
A door was built to the most deadly area and treated like a weird deadly tourist spot in
ancient times and that visitors would pay to ask the oracle Pluto questions there.
Birds and small animals were sold to visitors of the Gate so they could test how deadly
it is.
They would throw, say, a sparrow into the enclosed area and it would die.
It seems that actually there is a geological explanation, although its still deadly....
a deep fissure running beneath Hierapolis constantly emits volcanic carbon dioxide.
The sun dissapates the gas by the area is DEADLY at dawn.
Turns out the gas is the killer, not the gods.
2 - Houska Castle Hell Pit Listen I am all about a bit of Czech Legend
and I always will be!
This fascinates me....
! So...according to folklore, Houska Castle, located in Blatce in north Prague is built
over a bottomless pit to hell.
People who fell down it would never return because...you know...hell!
The story goes that once a 13th century Bohemian King offered pardons to condemned men if they
would consent to be lowered into the pit and report back what they saw.
That’s pretty nice for a 13thcentury king.... you dont get many reports of consent in the
middle ages!
So.... one prisoner is said to have been submerged for a few seconds.
When he returned, the 30 year old mans hair was grey.
He talked talked about creatures with wings who grotesquely flapped through the darkness.
Urghh.
1 - Fengdu Ghost City
The 2,000 year old city of ghosts is thought to be the place that the dead stopped in their
way to the afterlife.
The city is embroiled with the legend of Wang Fangping and Yin Changseng who ditched court
life and went to Fengdu to become immortal.
It seems that their names together sound like the chinese for King of Hell.
So... now the hill that overlooks the city is now considered the home of the king of
hell.
The ghost city is filled with shrines and temples to the afterlife and is separated
from nearby populated areas by a river... meaning if you want to visit you have to take
a boat....creepy.
It seems that according to Chinese legend, this is where the dead go before they are
allowed to pass to the afterlife.
Would you be brave enough to walk through THIS archway?
How about if I tell you the name of this structure translates to the GATES OF HELL?
Hmmm!
Okay.... so listen....
I have a confession to make.
I wrote this script and lost the ability to count ... I saved a really good one for number
one.....but it turns out I had researched 11.... soo... now I’ve had to axe it from
my list... but IT WAS going to be THIS FIREY PIT – have a look... clip ...this is the
door to hell in Turkmenistan – if you want a part two I promise to include it!
Comments from Top 10 Scary Animal Mutations:
I asked what animal you think I would be.... my ex boyfriend always said a garden grub....and
