Have that Deny Ignorance kind of day!
Those who did the actual drilling of this very real well did not break through to a hollow centre, and certainly no piteous screams of the damned were heard. That part — all of it — was pure embellishment added after this real event was turned into a legend. (Yes, we know that any number of web sites offer audio clips purporting to be the screams of the damned as recorded in the Well to Hell, and all of them sound like they could be the noise from a typical bar on a busy Friday evening.)

I just recieved a call from a friend of mine who says she was told about a german research dig... From what she said the german scientists were studying tectonic plates and as they dug down to a certain depth (she isnt a very good story teller so the details i was told are sketchy at best) they came across what sounded to them as screams and schreeches of people in great pain. Aparrently the dig was filled back in and abandoned.
I did a google search and didnt come up with anything on the topic. So i was hoping can anyone confirm that this indeed took place or is it just gossip?
Thanks

This is an intersting oppurtunity. The 'hell hole' is a story first reported in Weekly World New, I beleive, and it pops up here all the time. Usually its an oil rig that digs so deep, and its sometimes in Russia, sometimes in Saudi Arabia. This 'german researchers' variant is interseting.
You said that your friend heard about it, can you find out where they heard it from? That'd be really interesting, to track back an Urban Folktale a bit.

Pardons for the glib introduction, but I got somebody's attention, I am sure. When you look at the theology of Heaven and Hell, we find that we aren't talking about real estate. The original, theologically accepted origin of the concept of Hell comes from the Hebrew Helel which is from the verb yalal which means 'to lament'. Hell simply is a state of lamentation and torment resulting in having fallen from grace. Lucifer rebelled and fell from his position of glory and cast himself from God's presence. Other rebellious demons have joined him (it?) for the same reason. Those who are damned souls are in a state referred to as Hell because they too have turned away from the grace of God. This is not something that God does. We have Free Will. If we choose to embrace the tenets of living according to the plan that God has made for us humans, than we shall join him.
I have heard a metaphor that applies on a simple level. Heaven is a state when God smiles upon us. Hell is a state when we have lost the vision to see Him.
I personally have faith that this is HEaven and Hell. I very well could be wrong, but that's what faith is all about, right? I am pretty sure that it isn't a firey pit with pitchforks and bubbling pits packed with damned souls some several miles under the surface of the earth. The Buffyphile in me laments this, but - sorry - no hellmouths.
Be Well
