In 1997, radio presenter Art Bell had a phone conversation with a man named Mel. He had discovered something strange on his land, a seemingly bottomless hole. Over the course of 5 years, Mel and Art would have a number of conversations live on Coast to Coast AM, discussing the increasingly strange experiences Mel had with the hole.

Join me as we delve into all of those conversations and try to get to the bottom of Mel's Hole. Government cover up? Hoax? Or a mixture of the two. Let's find out on this entry into The Tape Library.
