    Art Bell's Mysterious Guest Reveals the Existence of Mel's Hole

    In this episode of Kentucky Melody, we're takin' a midnight walk into one of America's most terrifying unsolved mysteries: Mel's Hole - the legendary bottomless pit hidden in the cold, misty hills near Ellensburg, Washington. First revealed on Art Bell's Coast to Coast AM in 1997 by a man named Mel Waters, this mysterious hole became the center of paranormal investigations, government cover-up theories, and chilling first-hand encounters. Mel claimed the hole was bottomless-dropping over 80,000 feet of line with no end in sight. He shared tales of strange animals, silent black helicopters, and a dog that came back from the dead… wrong. But after going public, Mel disappeared. Rumors of black-suited agents, land seizures, and secret underground labs swirled like dust in a dry wind. He resurfaced years later, changed, haunted, and bringing news of another hole-this time in Nevada, and even more terrifying. Was it UFO activity? A government coverup? Or something ancient and hungry, burrowed deep beneath the earth's skin? Watch the video on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/DOSTy12Vehs

    This Kentucky Coal Train Had an OTHERWORLDLY Encounter!

    In this chilling episode from Kentucky Melody, we dive deep into one of the most unsettling unsolved mysteries in Eastern Kentucky — the Paintsville UFO incident of 2002. What started as a routine CSX train journey through the Appalachian night turned into a terrifying and unexplainable event. Near a stretch of track known ominously as the “Wild Kingdom,” a CSX train collision occurred — but it wasn’t with another train or wildlife... it was with something not of this world. The crew witnessed strange lights, suffered total power failure, and then collided with a hovering craft. What followed was a government cover-up so swift and secretive, it left no trace behind — just questions. The train was stripped, the men silenced, and the incident erased from public record. But stories from the hills don’t die easy. This story has become a Paintsville legend, passed down in whispers across Eastern Kentucky. It’s one of many Kentucky paranormal events that continue to blur the line between reality and the unexplained. Could this be a genuine UFO sighting? Was it a UAP encounter covered up by the government? Or is it just another piece of horror storytelling from haunted Kentucky? Whether you’re a believer in UFO activity, a fan of paranormal Kentucky, or just love spine-tingling scary stories from the heart of Appalachia, this tale is sure to leave you shaken. We bring you true encounters, unexplained train incidents, and tales that stretch beyond belief — right here on Kentucky Melody, where every storyteller knows the dark still walks these hills.
