Wells to Hell-do you think it could happen?

[112 Ocean Ave]

Me and my friends were watching A Haunting and the episode was about this boy who had a well in the back of his house. To make a long story short he gets possessed and they find the source is the well. Do you believe this can happen. What is your opinion on "wells to hell". Do you know of any other stories of this happening. personally I think it could if their were devil worship involved.

Reminds me of that story in the old low-budget 70s film "Encounter With the Unknown":

It's funny that someone should mention a well. In chapter 17 of Anson's AH book, he describes George Lutz finding a covered up well under the area of the front porch and Francine telling him to look for one because "it" could come through if there is a tiny opening. The movie then combined it with the red room into its passage to hell thing.

Could this be another Jay Anson creation / exageration? I don't know much about building houses but I would be inclined to think that a well would be filled in rather than just capped.

That sounds like the "Devil in Connecticut" story. We have lots of correspondence on that in this forum!

The well in the basement of Bobby Macky's Music World in Wilder, KY, has been rumored to be a portal to hell.

Sounds like Lorraine Warren was involved in this episode.

Although a hoax, this is a story about a "Well to hell".

I think that the concept of hell could be seen more
as a dimension rather than a place. Heck who knows
maybe hell is here on earth but we just cannot see it.

The well is popular in many horror films.

No, I don't believe a well can be a gateway to hell. I do believe there are ghost but about 95% of the stories are either hoaxed or unintentionally mistaken. The well makes a convenient "explanation" for the haunting.

Most times these wells have made people A LOT OF MONEY. The Ghost industry is booming! It reminds me a lot of sideshow carnie freaks in the past. The bearded lady has now turned into the gateway to hell so to speak.

Whenever there is a profit being made off of the haunting, I become 200% more skeptical about the ghost.


Besides wells make for a GREAT creepy story! They are holes in the ground extremely deep and you many times can't see the bottom. You can't beat that for a setting!

[tortured skull]

Anybody remember the movie from the 80s called The Gate?

[lostinthe50s81]

@tortured skull yeah, i remember the gate. have it on dvd. it's pretty cool.

as far as wells to hell go, i read a story about one, not a water well for a house, but an oil well being drilled somewhere. i wanna say somewhere near russia but not sure exactly. it was believed that the drilling crew had drilled all the way to hell. all of a sudden, the drill bit on the rig stopped turning. they shut everything down to try to find out the problem and started hearing screams coming from down in the ground. some other strange things began to happen although i can't remember what. it was said to have been debunked and probably was bs, but it's a creepy story just the same. after all, water wells for houses are only 40 to 50 feet deep, give or take. oil wells are 4,000+ feet deep. although i don't think it's possible myself lol

Cool story and welcome to the board! I agree i dont believe its possible to reach hell. I think if you do devil worship or drill over sacred land it could become haunted but not by reaching hell. But thats just an opinion.
