The "Well to Hell" Hoax - According to the OCPRS

The "Well to Hell" Urban Legend -- According to the OCPRS

Urban legends are not typically found or promoted within Christianity. However, among some groups, there is one particular urban legend many people have heard of -- the "Well to Hell" whereby the screams of the souls of the damned were recorded. The following is a typical summary of the "Well to Hell" urban legend:

An experimental drilling team, headed by a Dr. Victor Azzacov, managed to drill a 14.5 kilometres (9 miles) deep borehole in Siberia. The drill began to spin wildly, indicating that they had reached a pocket or cavern. Before the drilling could continue, researchers lowered a special microphone and other test equipment. Dr. Azzacov intended on recording plate tectonic movements and the temperature among other things. Temperatures were recorded at an incredible 1,100 degrees Celsius (2012 degrees Fahrenheit). The microphone, however, did not detect plate tectonic movements. Instead, the sounds of millions of screaming people could be heard. Azzacov, who was an atheist scientist of the USSR, could not believe what he was hearing. Along with the other researchers, Azzacov concluded that they had drilled a hole to HELL!

Although the "Well to Hell" is nothing more than a hoax created by unscrupulous individuals, it has survived through various Christian groups and individuals. What most people fail to see in such a hoax is how it promotes misconceptions about the afterlife. In a subtle way, the "Well to Hell" suggests that Hell is physically accessible. There is no such teaching from the Church or Bible that would suggest such a thing is possible. The sensationalism of the "Well to Hell" urban legend serves as a poor foundation on which other false teachings and misconceptions may be built. This is the inherent danger of such an urban legend.

This video serves two purposes: 1) to further expose the "Well to Hell" hoax, and 2) To share the views on the afterlife as they are known through the teachings of the Orthodox Church -- the Holy Bible and the writings of the Holy Church Fathers (for details, please visit our Blog)

Although many people believe in the existence of the "Well to Hell" they are blindly accepting a lie that exploits their faith. Accepting such an urban legend from their spiritual leaders, they are accepting something that excludes the truth about the afterlife as it is known in the Bible and Church. The existence of Hell is not rejected, but how it is represented through lies is problematic.

they don't know how deep the hole lead but only that they lowered the mic down 14 km ... the whole could have gone even deeper and sounds were coming from far away

Hello SouthAmerica4Christ

Actually, they (the real researchers) do know how deep the hole is. And the screams from Hell are not true. Please examine the details found in the video. I know its not the most entertaining presentation, but it does address the issues.

In Christ,

" Urban legends are not typically found or promoted within Christianity "

Are you fuckin kidding or are you just retarded ??? ITS BASED ON URBAN LEGENDS passed from one to another, one religion is a derivative from a previous ones, but involving a slight modification, a little change of names and places and there you go, a whole new religion. LEARN SOME SHIT FIRST than start believing in anything...

@Opelel88

How about you refrain from using foul language and talk to others with respect instead of talking with so much hatred and disdain for subjects you yourself have no knowledge of.

You stress that we should "LEARN SOME S***T FIRST" I believe it is you who has to un-learn the anti-Christian lies told to you, and the secular propaganda you hold about religion in general.

What you suggest is not open for debate here. Wrong forum.

God bless.

Good research. I remember hearing about this legend many years ago, i believed in it back then, of course. :-))

@OCPRS Greetings in Christ, Demetre.

Yes, i thought it was very covincing back when i heard the recording the first time..

No, i didn´t actually read your article yet, (on hell) but I will now. Thanks.

God bless. :-) And good luck to you with your research.

im open to further evidence but i have yet to see anything clear cut that proves its fake.. One thing im certain about is that hell according to the Bible or Hades is a real place and it is indeed located in the center of the earth. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart (core) of the earth. Matthew 12:40 Anyway im just not convinced its fake yet... but id like to get more compelling info

[SouthAmerica4Christ]

with all do respect, hell or hades is a real place and it is not located 14k miles into the earth but the story said they hit a pocket and they lowered the mic or what have you 14 k deep but they drilled deep but the story never said that the pocked or hole stopped 14k deep its just it hit a pocket & who knows how low that pocket went. besides Jesus went to Hades after he died on the cross according to the Bible & the Bible says Jesus would travel to the core of the earth. Not debunked yet ...
