And on today’s Dark enigma well, I’m in a rather dark mood, so today I decided we’d look at something dark and disturbing.

The choice of libation is yours, so choose your poison accordingly, but I would recommend something very strong… Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say Hell that will be a single shot and every time I say eerie, that will be a double shot. Now that the business end is out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… grab your cross and bible as we head out to… Portals to Hell

Since the dawn of mankind and its numerous religions there have been many that feature some form of Hell or underworld, typically portrayed as a place of eternal punishment, torment, suffering, and despair, but depending on the culture and religion can also be an intermediary period between incarnations or simply a dreary land of the dead. The various versions of Hell can be another dimension or plane of existence, or an actual place in our own physical reality located deep in the bowels of the earth. While there is much debate on whether any of the many incarnations of Hell is a literal place, there have always been persistent stories that it not only exists in some form, but that it can also be accessed from the land of the living via tunnels, gateways, doorways, or portals. Here we will look at various mysterious locations around the world that, despite being just plain creepy, are said to be actual entrances to Hell itself.

One of the more well-known such portals to Hell is located exactly where one might expect to find one, if they exist at all; a spooky looking bleak cemetery. Tucked away in a rural area of the US state of Kansas lies a sinister patch of land called Stull Cemetery. Its eerie, quiet atmosphere and rural setting have perhaps understandably bred many dark legends and stories, and the intense paranormal activity and hauntings associated with it has earned it the nickname “America’s Most Evil Graveyard.” Here is a place also long associated with Satanic cults, witchcraft, and shadowy figures carrying out bizarre rituals and human sacrifice by moonlight. Oh, and it supposedly has its own doorway to Hell.
