#the well to hell

When I was a kid there was an urban legend going around about some Russian engineers who had discovered an underground chamber while drilling in Siberia. Curious about their find, they lowered a heat resistant microphone into the ground. What they heard was terrifying. It was the sound of a million souls in agony. They had discovered Hell. Or so the story went. Of course the story was an obvious hoax but to younger me it was the gospel truth. (For those curious about it, there was another version that took place in Alaska that featured an appearance by the devil himself!)
