Here I have compiled all instances of Hell's Gate or Gates to Hell from the Shadowlands Database. I've included other places relative to "hell" also. I must stress that, as far as I know, these places are not actually gateway's to hell. They have just been named by the locals. They are places of supposed high paranormal activity. I've only searched the U.S. database for now. I may do international later. There seems to be a lot of interest about these so here they are:

Alabama:

-Huntsville - Hell's Gates (Green Mountain) - There are a set a big black gates that stand about a mile from the bottom of the mountain that guard some huge mansion on this mountain. If you go and sit in front of the gates for a little while a car will come down the mountain and chase you until you get to the bottom and the car will suddenly vanish...its no myth.

-Owens Cross Roads - Behind Hell's Gates - Behind Hell's Gates, unexplainable things occur. You hear chanting and such things, which you CAN NOT find the origin of. Things can be thrown at you, that you will never see, nor will the object ever hit the ground. You hear footsteps chasing you if you run, but there's no one ever there. Inside the mansion behind the gates, it is unnaturally cold and you hear whispering and screaming from inside the mansion where there shouldn't be anything coming from, because there's no one there.

-Red Level - Consolation Church - The church is no longer used b/c of Banshees. But if you sit inside of the gates you can hear confederate soldiers marching. There is an outhouse in the back of the church and if you go in it by yourself the door will shut behind you and lock. You can only get out if someone comes and lets you out. There has also been tales of possesion. When you are leaving there is tales of a little boy that is playing with a ball. If he rolls it to you and you pick it up and give it back you are going to die. Also while you are driving back out the driveway there is a little girl that is skipping down the road, your car will not go past her. If you try to go past her your car will stop and you have to wait for her to get ahead of you and then go. Also if you overstay your welcome there is a 60's model black ford truck that will come speeding down the road, and if it catches you then you will wreck with no survivors. There have also been sightings of hell hounds around that cemetary.

California:

-Antioch - Empire Mine Road - Gates of Hell - Fair warning - no trespassing you will get fined or arrested. Possibly torn down - In the middle of Empire Mine road, there is a Stuckko wall with a bunch of spray paint on it. If you like to take hikes, this is the place to go. There is a rumor of an old Insane Asylum at the very end of this road. You will come to another gate then behind their lies this old decrepit Structure of a hospital. Many people were killed brutally in this place, and it is VERY haunted by not so nice spirits. Things have been thrown at people, they have been pushed and screams have been heard from the people being tortured by themselves or another. - October 2003 update: Reports of it being a golf course now.

-Redlands - The Gates of Hell - There are two black iron gates standing along the roadside of Sunset street in Redlands. Extremely unusual things are supposed to happen after crossing these gates, such as, a ghost with a headless cat comes running after you, a bloody bull's head rolls down the drive-way, and so on. The black iron gates are still sitting on the road, but the trail leading to the house has been hidden by bushes and trees. Update: Has been torn down and built over.

Although there have been accounts of graves freshly dug. The story goes that back in the 80's a boy was found mutilated. Most say that it was a cult killing.

Indiana:

-Diamond - Hells Gate -This train trestle is host to several strange phenomenon. On some nights, if you stop your car, you can hear the sound of people laughing and screaming, laced with a crashing noise. Legend states that the sounds echo a past tragedy that involved a train derailment, killing many people.

-Fort Wayne - Lima Road - The Old Byron Health Care Center - "The Stairway To Hell" - The old health care center was shut down and a new one was built next to it. You can still walk around in the old building, and you can feel a very ominous sense all around you. Keep walking around until you come to a staircase leading to the Basement. The word "Basement" has been covered and people have put up the phrase "The Stairway to Hell" in place. Shine your flashlight down the staircase and you can see the end, but when you start walking down, turn it out. It has to remain out. As you walk down the stairs, it gets colder and colder, and more unsettling, but you can NEVER reach the end. You can keep walking for a long time and never reach the basement at all. But no matter how long it takes you to walk as far as you dare, when you turn around to go back upstairs, it only takes a fraction of the time to get back to the staircase. One witness reports, “We walked downstairs for 20 minutes once, and it only took us 3 minutes to get back to the top again. When we got back to the top, we shined our flashlights down the stairs, and once again, we could see the end. It is very very scary, and it makes no sense whatsoever.”

-Terre Haute - hells gates - Some say that if you go under all three bridges and under the third bridge you might see the devil. If the Devil has his back to you then you will have a good life but if he is staring you in the face the rest of your life is doomed. Others say that if you see your name under the bridge the next day you are suppose to die. Its a great place to go for a scare.

Kansas:

-Gypsum - Devils Washboard - The Happy Seven - Back in the 50's 7 high school kids were out raising hell while driving drunk and drove over three treacherous hills that follow in a row. Each one getting steeper and steeper and on the last one they actually hit the side of it crushing there car into a very compact box! True story. The town’s police had the car put up on a high wooden platform on the side of the road at the exact spot they died, to teach the rest of the towns teenagers from making the same mistake. Thing is don't go messing around and try even though it’s a thrill ride, you will wreck or almost lose it and it's said if you try it. You can hear the young teenagers screaming. This is very dangerous, drive with caution.

-Stull - Stull Cemetery and abandoned church- Update: The church has since been torn down - Stull is said to be one of the six gateways to hell. The devil had a child with a local witch. The witch was hung in a tree and the boy was killed. The tree that she was hung from fell over and opened a gateway to hell. Many stories say that a large group of people went out into the cemetery on Halloween and the next day they were found all slaughtered. Witnesses report a demon like creature watching them from the doorway of the abandoned church on the hill of the cemetery. Do not go in the cemetery. Many bad things could happen.

-Stull - Stull Cemetery - evil sprints and entities are said to live here.

-Marion - Baker Hollow Road Cemetery - Many different things occur at this particular cemetery. It is located off of Baker Church Road going toward Morganfield. You turn to the left off Baker Church Road on to Baker Hollow Road. There is one cemetery behind the church on the left. After you pass this church there is a fork in the road, follow it to the left and this is where everything begins. However on a good night it begins when you first turn on the road. You have to go after dark but the best time to go is around or after midnight. This cemetery disappears and then reappears in different locations. However it will not show itself when you drive down the road. You have to drive down to the end of the road and turn around and come back in order to see the cemetery. You will know when you are close to the cemetery because you will have an overwhelming feeling of sadness and will begin to cry for no apparent reason. You will see and hear various things. Sometimes you can hear music playing, laughter, screams and hear things trying to get in your vehicle. There have also been fingerprints and dents in vehicles visitors have taken `ut there as well as scratches that came from the outside but went all the way thought the glass. If you are actually lucky enough to find the cemetery and drive up in to it you will not be able to drive out. It is so spiritually active that it drains the battery of your car leaving you stranded until the morning or until you get brave enough to push your car out. There have been images of Soldiers killing each other and those around them. There have been sightings of the dense woods opening where you can see more than you should. The fork in the road rolls and a dense mist appears and disappears as you drive the road. There is also a guardian dog. This dog closely resembles the "Hounds of Hell" as described in the Bible. This dog has dead yellow eyes and casts the shadow of a demon when it gets ready to disappear in the triangle at the fork in the road. The dog appears to be injured when it first appears on the side of the road, thus making you want to stop and pick it up, which in turn gives an open invitation to any spirit that is around. When you fail to pick up the dog things begin to change. The dog will walk a few steps and then turn to see if you are still following it. However if you speed up the dog will speed up, if you slow down it will slow down, if you go to the left it will go to the left, if you go to the right it will go to the right and it is impossible to run over this dog. There have also been sightings of wrecked vehicles with people screaming for help. Due to the period in time when this cemetery was began you will see images of men who were hung from the trees out this road before and after you pass the cemetery. You will also see images of dead family members calling to you. You will also experience a change in the weather when you turn out this road. For instance it will be raining before you turn on the road, but when you turn on to this road the rain mysteriously stops and the mist begins until you exit this road where the rain will start again. There are many other things that occur out this road but you have to be very alert and very open to the spirit world and you cannot show fear or it can take your soul, according to the legend. There are many trapped souls at this location that will mess with you. Make sure you do not have an open invitation of any kind. This means windows rolled up and doors locked. These spirits can also communicate with you through your dreams if you will let them. So go if you dare just don't show fear! Everyone sees something different when they go to this location so be prepared to be scared.

-Ellicott City - St. Mary's College - Hell House - The building was founded in 1866 and it's main building was erected in 1868. It is actually in Ilchester, MD not too far from Ellicott City. It is said that it was a catholic all girls school and the cardinal had impure thoughts which he took out on 5 nuns. A nun came foward and told the archbishop and the cardinal had to leave. The nuns were later killed and place above an inverted pentegram. Later more girls and nuns died and the school was closed down in 1972. Some say that the nuns at the school were practicing satanic rituals and some say that the cardinal came back to get his revenge. Unfortunately, the school burned down Halloween night in 1997 and authorites still do not know the cause of the fire. Some people have heard screams, girls laughing, and have seen a strange shadowy figure on the premises. There are tunnels underneathwith drawings in red of pentegrams and other markings. - A note to all who go, be careful because the building is no longer stable.

Michigan:

-Algoma Township - Hell's Bridge - On a winding dirt road next to the Rogue River called Friske, there is a small turn-around for no particular reason. On this turn-around, there is a trail that leads off a ways into the woods. If you follow the trail, it leads to an old iron bridge called Hell's Bridge. It is said that if you are sitting or standing on the bridge at midnight you can hear the devil laughing. The reason is, in the 1800's, when Algoma didn't really exist and Rockford was known as Laphamville, a man named Elias Friske murdered several children and claimed a demon made him do it. Later the bodies were found in the part of the river where the bridge is now. Sometimes you can also hear the children crying, @r the noise of splashing water where their bodies were thrown. Some fishermen in the early morning have reported seeing a strange figure near the bridge...

It was rumored that the woman was pregnant and while on a hiking trip fell into a ravine and that by time her rescuers got to her that she was already dead. Also the same location is rumored to be a gateway to hell.(WARNING: most people who go there and are brave enough to stay through the whole experience have some kind of Vehicle trouble upon trying to exit the hollow.(I.E.) flat tires mysterious claw marks on the vehicle, and even wrecks!!!)

-Sullivan - Gates of Hell - A long time a go a man owned this property, he hung people out in his feild the tale is if you park down by the gate.. turn off your car you can see people walking out in the field, a little boy lurks around the gate. and you can hear odd noises. It's been known for your car not to start back up. It's a very freaky place. People own the property now they have horses but if you go down there on a full moon you can't see the horses anywhere... you can search the fields up and down and wont find any kind of sigh of a horse.

-Sullivan - Old Pea ridge Mine - 16 men died in the Pea Ridge Mine during it's 40 years of operation from 1961 to 2001. Why this place closed down is still unclear. 80% of the richest Iron Are deposit in North America is still under the ground at this location. It is like everyone just left the place for no reason. Strange sounds can be heard coming out of the mineshaft late at night. What did those miners uncover digging so deep in the earth. Was it a secret passage to hell?

Pennsylvania:

-Cecil - Peters Township - Montour Trail "HELL" - Reports of unexplained lights that don’t shine. A short figure that has green eyes and a white hand on its left side. A little girl in a white dress that follows people. Strange noises, feeling of being followed. Outside one tunnel always rocks falling from the road, even thought the road is paved. There was supposedly a train wreck in the late 1800’s or early 1900’s where the trail is now located.

-Darktown - "THE ALAMO" - Reports of trolls, Hellhounds, human forms, accompanied with unexplained noises and sights.

-Erie - Erie Cemetery - The Erie cemetery is said to be haunted. There are a few locations that are definitely eerie. The first one is a mausoleum. It's blackened, like it was burned. There's no name on it, but you can tell that there used to be one. It also has a lot of vampire like designs on it. The other area is called the Witches Circle. It is a group of tombstones that are in the shape of a circle. Some of them are burnt black. Legend has it that Satan came to get his loyal followers. The burns are supposed to be from the fires of Hell. It has been tried repeatedly to get the scorch marks off of the tombstones, but it doesn't ever come off. I've inspected these stones myself and tried to read what they said on them. One had some pretty weird stuff on it. You get chills and hear walking behind you while at this cemetery. When you turn around, though, no one is there. Witnesses have seen a big black dog there and when they looked again, it wasn't there.

-Pittsburgh - hell's tunnel - Apparitions of a noose that swings, hear a father calling for his son.

-York - The Seven Gates of Hell - It is a separate private road off of Toad Road. Years ago there was a mental hospital located near Toad road. It is now a deserted building. Hundreds of mental patients are said to have escaped from there and killed in the woods surrounding it. If you travel back to Toad Road, you go through seven gates known to locals as "The Seven Gates of Hell." No one has ever been through the fifth gate. Everyone who makes it to the gates hears noises and sees weird things moving in the woods. - Update: It was so popular among local teenagers that just recently, the old hospital and the gates were torn down. One gate stands, the first gate, which is highly visible off of Trout Run Rd. The area is private property, and there are many new no trespassing signs up. Forestry agents are reportedly tearing down trees back there to stop people from coming to experience the "freakiness".

Rhode Island:

-Wakefield - Allen Avenue - A protective ghost haunts the top floors of this old Victorian. It slams doors, sometimes emits an odd stench, turns up the heat, and turns on electrical appliances. The ghost is unknown but referred to as "Satan" because of its need for hellish temperatures.

-Spartanburg - Hell's Gates - Hells Gate is an older cemetery located in the heart of Spartanburg, South Carolina. Strange things like having a cell phone give a busy signal, when it was later confirmed that the line that was called was NOT busy.

Texas;

-Arlington - River Legacy Park - walking on a narrow path away from hell's gate you will see what was once a clearing. Reports of moaning and a red hair haired general clad in a Confederate uniform.

-Arlington - River Legacy Park - Hells Gate - It is a long trail with swamps on either side and shaded over by large trees. At the end of the trail is a large mound of dirt and two fence posts that were once a gate. As it is said this was the trail walked by captured spies of the union army on there way to be hung. This gate was the last thing they saw before being led to the tree that stands beyond the gate where they died. Walking the trail one can still hear the sobs and whispered prayers of the men and some women who walked there last steps here.

-Bridgeport - Hells Gates - A presence is felt, always cold, a black figure of a 4 foot man with glowing red eyes spotted. Hells Gates Experience

-Fort Worth - Del Frisco's Steakhouse - In the 1800's, this area of Ft. Worth was known as "Hell's Half Acre" because of its numerous saloons, brothels and gambling halls. Used to be a bathhouse in the 1800s where a man was shot in the head. His spirit roams the banquet halls and the upstairs bar.

Wisconsin:

-Brodhead - Hell's Playground - At night, when the wind is still, you can hear children playing and the swings will be swinging. Sometimes a growl will be heard from out of nowhere. The story is, is that 2 children and an adult were murdered there. Be careful when going around the slide. That is where one of the kids were slaughtered

-Caryville - Old Cemetery - There are about twenty graves in this cemetery that are located at the top of a hill, next to a river. People have seen faint images of children running in the field and headlights shining through the river. If you stop and turn off your lights on the way to the hill, hell hounds can be seen.

-Maribel - Maribel Caves/ Maribell Hotel "Motel Hell" - An old abandoned building owned by Al Capone close to the Maribel Caves. This hotel was inflames in the 1920's, and it 'GLOWS' when the new moon is out. From the road, you can see every detail of that hotel. This hotel is surrounded by woods and across the street is also wooded. Its a three story hotel, all but abandoned, you can't get to the third floor anymore because of holes in the stairway. Third floor has reported to have cold hands applying pressure to their back. If you flash your light at a second floor window they flash back at you. In the basement, feelings of being threatened. The name "Hotel Hell" came from the blood on the walls and the yelling from the basement, the ring of the bell and the sound of wheels. The smell of sewer gas is still there in the bathrooms. Old books were in one of the rooms upstairs, burst into flames.- January 2004 update/correction - these caves are right below hotel hell. you will hear moaning as of creatures or monsters there. Witnesses have heard laughing, have seen a little girl in a black dress wearing no shoes on the stairs which go into the caves area. you can hear singing there day or night. near the old stables, visitors have been chased by white light which some of them have seen as a carriage drawn by white horses. also in the old stables the sounds of horses hooves have been heard. The submitter of the update has done some research into hotel hell and it may never have been owned by Al Capone. the first thing to be built there was a "resort" built in the 1800's which was one of those places where people went to be cleansed by the natural spring water which still runs pure and clear there today. when you walk the trails there (it's still open to the public) there is one cave door which has been partially opened due to a rockslide, spring water still runs there.

There's a Hellmouth in Massachusetts?

Nuh uh. Anyone from MA knows that Rhode Island has the Hellmouth. Seriously, roads change around when you're not looking...highway's just end...and pick up at the other side of the state.
They're the smart ones.

What? No Washington??

--The Blue-Haired Angel--

None from Alaska, either.

Seriously, I think that Buffy was right in the series finale, Cleveland, OH has a Hellmouth. The Torso Murders, none of our major teams has won anything since '95, 1954 before that, the Cuyahoga River catching fire (explainable, but still, burning WATER!!), the one President to come out of Ohio was assassinated...

omg no trol lol i just be typin da way i be talkin haha!
i da dbz measter cuz i be noing all da info-BadBoy24002

i think my city has the best:

-Fort Wayne - Lima Road - The Old Byron Health Care Center - "The Stairway To Hell" - The old health care center was shut down and a new one was built next to it. You can still walk around in the old building, and you can feel a very ominous sense all around you. Keep walking around until you come to a staircase leading to the Basement. The word "Basement" has been covered and people have put up the phrase "The Stairway to Hell" in place. Shine your flashlight down the staircase and you can see the end, but when you start walking down, turn it out. It has to remain out. As you walk down the stairs, it gets colder and colder, and more unsettling, but you can NEVER reach the end. You can keep walking for a long time and never reach the basement at all. But no matter how long it takes you to walk as far as you dare, when you turn around to go back upstairs, it only takes a fraction of the time to get back to the staircase. One witness reports, “We walked downstairs for 20 minutes once, and it only took us 3 minutes to get back to the top again. When we got back to the top, we shined our flashlights down the stairs, and once again, we could see the end. It is very very scary, and it makes no sense whatsoever.”

Okay if that is real man...

THAT IS AWESOME!

I have to try that...

It must play with your mind and stuff....NICE!

Oh that sounds SO cool...

Did you ever go dude?

This one seems cool! I'd Like to go on these stairs. What happens when you turn your light off in the basement? When you get to the bottom of the stairs?

Reminds me of some stairs in Mario 64.

What I don't understand is, why don't people explore these places in larger groups like say 8-10 people, and a video camera. That way, we'll be able to prove if these are hoaks or not.

some of these just seem haunted. Not really a gate of hell

Here I have compiled all instances of Hell's Gate or Gates to Hell from the Shadowlands Database. I've included other places relative to "hell" also. I must stress that, as far as I know, these places are not actually gateway's to hell. They have just been named by the locals. They are places of supposed high paranormal activity. I've only searched the U.S. database for now. I may do international later. There seems to be a lot of interest about these so here they are:

Also, i'm sure most of you know about this, but here is the Shadowlands Website(also a lot of good tips and how to's). Feel free to add to the list I have compiled. Go ahead and check your state. I also must stress that it is at most times dangerous and illegal to explore this sites without permission. You could be hurt or even arrested and fined. The website even has a warning to that effect. Enjoy and I hope i've helped you. Also feel free to ask me any questions. I'm not guarateeing I will be able to answer though.

That whole "Gates to Hell" thing amuses me. I mean, if you believe in Hell at all, you probably believe in the religion surrounding it, and I'm pretty sure most of those religions would say that the concept of a gate to Hell on earth is laughable.

"Ontario - Toronto - Thompson Park - Satan's Cave - Even though it's believed to be a myth, many students report seeing a cave in the deep forests of Thompson Park. The students say that when you enter the cave, you feel an angry presence, and an evil growl. The myth however says that once you have entered and gone deeply within the cave, you will be lead straight into hell. "

i'll see if i can convince my friend to try and find this place.

Do not try to think outside of the box. Believe there is no box.

The gate to hell thing is just a nickname.. And Hell is generally used as a figure of speech these days.

That neverending stairs one sounds bogus. No one's really gotten to the bottom in the dark? Someone should slide down them on a sled or something.

Once again, they are not actually Gates to Hell(as far as I know). They were just nicknamed that by the locals due to high amounts of paranormal activity.

"When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."

BC - Prince George - Buffalo Brewing Company - creepy feeling as soon as you walk in the door. a sense of being watched in the basement area. This place was originally a church and it's said that a priest had hung himself from the rafters, the exact spot is unknown, but it's a fact that every business that has started up in that place has never survived that long. And not only do you feel like someone’s watching you downstairs but it get very cold in some spot.


W00t! I am so going there!

Alberta - Jasper - Jasper Park Lodge - An extremely steep staircase leads up to a very old wing of the dated hotel. As a man was climbing the stairs, he fell and broke his neck. He haunts the old staircase without being seen. He pushes people down the stairs, causes cold wind gusts and leaves and eerie feeling in the stairway and the hall it leads to. Animals will not enter the stairway. & An old couple often be seen sitting at a table or dancing in a dinning room wearing old clothing.


AWESOME! I was there, at those stairs! I wasn't pushed or anything, but my mom stumbled while going down the stairs. She asked me why I pushed her, I didn't. I felt an eerie, cold feeling there, too.

"Colorado:

-Fort Collins - Hell - It's an abandoned goat farm. Many sightings have occurred there. The ghosts may vary from a floating white blob to a shadow figure of a man. Many say that they hear bells jingling as they approach the site.

-Fort Collins - The Hell Tree - Back in the early 1900's a farmer would hang his farm hands from this tree. One afternoon they rebelled against him. Later that evening his wife found him hanging from this tree. Sometimes on a late night when the moon is silhouetting the tree you can see the farmer and his farmhands hanging in this tree."


funny thing, ive never seen either of these and i live in fort collins...
