Over the years, if you are in the community, you tend to hear tales of places that some claim to be the gateways to "hell". Wonderful vacation spots of the damned, and shunned by those not wishing to lose their souls and spend an eternity burning in lakes of fire. In this post, I thought I would take a brief look at these locations. This is wonderful fun and eye opening as to how rumour becomes legend and legend sometimes comes back around as fact in the minds of the faithful. I will give brief snippets of these places over the next few weeks and maybe you may even be lucky enough to visit some... Soul intact, of course. So lets begin...
The first location that we will examine is an interesting little spot located in Kansas. Yes, I know, many have said "How do you break hell down into just one place in Kansas?". But, trust me on this, there is one spot in particular that has been reported to be the very gateway to the hellish realms. The place of mention is none other than Stull, Kansas.
The legend has it that there is a stairway that leads down into the bowels of the earth and into the kingdom of Satan himself. How it came to this illustrious position has a few explanations. One is that a child was burned to death by his father. This was said to be accidental, however the devil may have made him do it. Who's to say. Another is that a man was found hanging from a tree. Most likely the victim of the denizens of hell, or so it is believed. And apparently there is the church that was crumbling and gave off an evil vibe. Whatever the reason for this place being considered a gateway to hell, it had an affect upon none other than The Pope. Rumour has it that in his trip to the US, he made his flight reroute around the location of Stull. The truth of why he did this is not very forthcoming, but the legend stands. So even "His Holiness" feels the evil from this place and took precautions to avoid the land of demons.
Well that is it for now.. I will come back later with more locations of Hells own Autobahn.
Until next time......
