Sounds from the Hell | The Borehole Drilling Project that went Very Wrong

when the drill reached 14.4 kilometers. it had broken through solid rock and. into a large cavern that wasn't supposed. to be there from the surface scientists. could hear something coming from the. hole they lowered down an instrument. array including a microphone there was. air in the cavern nine miles beneath the. surface but it was mostly toxic gas and. the air temperature was over a thousand. degrees none of this made sense they. turned on the microphone what they heard. caused most of the crew to quit on the.

spot for the few that remained. it only got worse they called it the. well to hell. [Music]. when the allies won the second world war. they quickly scrambled to claim their. share of the nazi resources gold weapons. and oil were highly prized but no. resource was as valuable as the nazi. scientific community the united states. launched operation paperclip which. brought over 1600 nazi scientists.

engineers and technicians to the u.s for. government employment the soviets had. operation osavea kim where over 2500. scientists were recruited by the soviet. union. abducted thank you this influx of talent. kicked off a scientific rivalry that. would last the next half century nuclear. technology was of course a priority for. weapons and for energy the most high. profile competition was the space race.

the soviets were the first to launch a. satellite into orbit the first to land. an object on the moon the first to put a. human in orbit and the first spacewalk. the united states had its own list of. firsts the big one being the first man. on the moon faked not this again no. impact crater the shadows don't line up. pictures use the same backdrop you can't. get through the van allen radiation belt. you want more. i can't do this today if you think the. moon landing was real i have a few nfts. to sell you okay whether the moon.

landing was real or fake. these achievements pushed both countries. to explore further and higher than ever. before it also pushed them to explore. deeper a new competition the race to the. center of the earth the american program. was called project mohol the first. borehole was drilled in the pacific. ocean off the coast of mexico in 1961. but the program suffered from poor. management and lack of funding the. russian drilling program was more. focused they chose a location on the.

kola peninsula for their hull the cola. super deep at borehole penetrated one. third of the way through the earth's. crust over 12 kilometers down. and these are the public projects the. soviets also had a secret drilling. project the world finally learned about. it when a whistleblower came forward in. 1989 he claimed that buried deep beneath. the earth was hell actual help. actual hell he said the russians. accidentally discovered it deep beneath. siberia and he said there was proof.

to those who discounted the siberia. sounds from hell's story. it is true. and i for one. wish it wasn't. in 1989 dr dimitri osakov and a group of. scientists were working on a borehole. drilling project in siberia when the. drill reached 14.4 kilometers or nine. miles deep the drill bit started. rotating wildly it had somehow broken. through solid rock and into a hollow.

area under the earth's crust this cavity. wasn't supposed to be there when the. drill returned to the surface it was. literally glowing red hot this also was. unexpected the temperatures at these. depths should be about 100 degrees 150. degrees at most instruments were reading. temperatures of over 1100 degrees dr. azakov said it seems like an inferno is. in the center of the earth the next. discovery according to dr azakov was the. most shocking and caused some people to.

leave the project at the surface they. heard strange sounds coming from the. hole at first the engineers thought it. was their equipment so they shut down. all the machinery but the sound was. still there part of the research done at. the site was recording the sound of the. movement of the earth using specialized. microphones so they lowered one of these. microphones into the hole even though it. was designed to operate at high. temperatures it overheated in just a few. seconds. but a few seconds was enough to prove.

the sound was definitely coming from the. earth's interior and it was unsettling. nine miles below the surface in a. superheated cavern they heard humans. screaming in pain. dr azakov is quoted as saying we could. hear thousands perhaps millions in the. background of suffering souls that. screaming hopefully that which is down. there who will stay there asikov. believed they drilled into hell itself. half of the scientists immediately quit. those who stayed at the job site were in.

for more of a shock later that night a. plume of gas burst out of the borehole. and took the shape of a large bat or. winged demon and in the gas three words. were written i have conquered the whole. job site erupted into pandemonium then. the medical staff received a call from. someone we really don't know who kgb. probably the medics were told to give. everyone a type of sedative which would. erase their short-term memories the. soviets used drugs like this for victims. in shock this account comes from one of.

those medics who blew the whistle on the. operation hey uh. yeah look i didn't want to spoil the. mood in nothing this is a good story. thanks some history some science demons. even men in black erasing memories it. has it all i feel a butt coming but. is there any proof of any of this well. what kind of proof would make you happy. not picture of the demon would be nice. we don't have that oh well any chance. and i know i'm asking a lot of you any. chance someone recorded all those. screaming souls yep a 17-second.

recording has been. on with found show. [Music]. and i'm not going to read the. full article about the nine mile hole. i'm not gonna do it i'm just gonna read. the. email that i got last night along with. what i received. this horrendous sound. now i've got a clean copy of it now and. i warn you.

this could scare you. the story of the russian well to hell. circulated for years and even though it. was reported by a few major news sources. who claimed it was real nobody had. actually heard the audio without. evidence it's pretty easy to dismiss the. story as nothing more than an urban. legend but in 1998 art bell host of the. coast to coast am radio show received an. email the email said that there is an. effort to discredit the story but it's. definitely true his uncle had a friend. at the bbc who had a copy of the.

recording he attached the audio to the. email after giving his listeners fair. warning he played the infamous audio. that was allegedly recorded from the. whole to hell. i warn you what you're about to hear is. very disturbing indeed.

uh what. you know where we can score some russian. sedatives. i don't feel so good. the well to hell is one of my all-time. favorite urban legends i first heard it. on artbell show but how much of it is. true and where did it come from the. story was first released by the trinity.

broadcasting network and tbn is a. christian network that operates. television stations and publishes. newsletters in 1989 tbn ran the story. scientists discover hell in both print. and on television the story was a hit. rich bueller a radio host for. christianity today was getting so many. calls about the story he decided to. track down the origin when he contacted. trinity they said the story was. absolutely true they doubled down they.

did tbn said their source was the. finnish publication ameno sastia which. was they said a widely respected. scientific journal was it no it was a. small evangelical lutheran magazine so. rich bueller contacted them they said a. staff member wrote the story from memory. oh boy journalism and that person. remembered seeing it in a magazine where. readers could submit any stories they. wanted without sources or fact checking. new york times. no this was another finnish paper yeah.

the reader who submitted it read it in a. finished newsletter that covered. paranormal stories before that the story. was in another religious newsletter out. of california and on and on and on the. story was just hearsay and exaggeration. but the companies who published the. story kept defending it you sure this. wasn't the new york times i'm sure yeah. to make matters worse a norwegian. teacher named ogden rendaun heard the. original tbn story when he was visiting. california he was so amazed that.

americans were gullible enough to. believe it he conducted an experiment he. got back to norway and found some boring. newspaper article and sent it to tbn but. he included a fake translation this is. how the whole to hell story picked up. the details about the demon it was a. prank made up by someone just to see if. tgn would fall for it and they did tgn. didn't fact check didn't do their own. translation they just saw a great story. and ran with it the media sure publishes. a lot of intentional hoaxes don't they.

if they get clicks they sure do anyway. the story has been resurfacing every few. years ever since sometimes the hole is. in alaska sometimes it's in norway. sometimes the demon is just a big bat. but that audio clip is always included. which adds a little extra eeriness to it. and no those aren't the screams of. millions of souls in hell it's actually. a layered and looped audio section from. a horror movie. no most people think it's from the 1972. be horror movie baron blood.

[Applause]. as much as i love the whole to hell. story i think we can call this one. debunked these days there aren't too. many deep drilling projects still. operating as of now the kola super deep. borehole in russia is still the deepest. at 12 kilometers cola superdeep has made. some interesting discoveries like. fossilized plankton and huge amounts of. mineralized water buried deep beneath. the surface but no demons no demons at. least not yet but if they keep drilling. who knows what they'll find.

[Music]. thanks so much for hanging out with me. today my name is aj that's hecklefish. this has been the y-files if you had fun. or learned anything do me a favor and. like subscribe comment and share that. stuff really helps out a small channel. like this and until next time be safe. be kind and know that you. are appreciated. [Music].

you.
