Mel’s 2nd Hole

Most of us here have probably already heard about Mel’s Hole, the original bottomless pit in Washington State that took on a life of its own in late night radio lore.

But what many people do not know is that Mel claimed there was a second hole.

This episode focuses on Mel’s Second Hole, said to be located deep in Nevada, a site reportedly known and used by the Basque long before it ever entered modern storytelling. Unlike the first, this hole is described as having far stranger properties. Objects thrown inside do not simply disappear. They change. Animals return altered, and encounters with non human entities are part of the story.

For anyone new to the legend, the episode also includes a brief recap of Mel’s First Hole in Washington State so the full context is clear before going deeper.

This story sits at the intersection of folklore, radio mythology, and high strangeness and raises an interesting question. Why do stories like this refuse to disappear?

If you already know part one, start the episode at 4:20 to jump straight into Mel’s Second Hole.

And of course this is a conspiracy theory. I’m not claiming any of it to be 100% true. I am just sharing a story that you may not have heard of.
