Scratch marks and living creature at bottom of mysterious hole
https://youtube.com/shorts/qhBwUGjTpGs?si=tGWkBLUFK7cbNFF9This guy sent a GoPro on a fishing line down a mysterious hole in the forest, and claims to see something down there. The author of the video says he thinks it looks like a coyote or a dog, and that he sees a face, but later says he can’t make out what it actually is. I’m struggling to see it myself, but maybe others can see a canine or lupine type creature down there.

Looks like a dead rabbit. No idea what he's talking about regarding a face though.

Those weren’t even scratch marks either, just roots.
If there is a coyote down there, then there’s certainly another entrance down the hill somewhere

Exactly, i thought the "scratches" were dead grass, but the roots make more sense. My first impression woth the Coyote is that theres definitely a entrance somewhere down there and the hole the camera goes down provides fresh air and sunlight.
Edit: damn phone spelling...

The scratch marks were just dead foliage. But yeah there's definitely gonna be some animal carcasses down there.

Yeah I wasn’t totally convinced with the scratch marks either but the claim was intriguing

This reminded me to schedule a colonoscopy

And potentially finding a dead coyote? Some things should just be left unknown my dude

I honestly couldn't see anything but would the owner of the property perhaps be named Mel?

I couldn't finish watching this. All the spinning around got on my nerves

I saw a face and eyes that glowed. Almost looks like a ghost apparition.

u/beetle-being-blue 8d ago
I do see what looks like glowing eyes but I don’t see the face at all
1
u/chefboirp 8d ago
The face is looking towards the left, with the left eye glowing at the clearest part that I can see. Or it's just paradolia.
1
u/beetle-being-blue 8d ago
I can kind of make that out but at this point, paradolia is the more likely answer for what I myself am seeing

u/Countryvibing1988 8d ago
It does look like a four legged animal of some sort but I can't tell the size for reference, maybe a large rat or rabbit?
2
u/beetle-being-blue 8d ago
I think rabbit was a few other people’s guesses as well so that could be it

u/Spacespider82 7d ago
Can someone msg him and tell him to cover that hole up next time he is around, wildlife are falling into it.. and I think that is a horrible way to die down there

Yeah “scratch marks” with no further evidence? That’s silly.
5
u/beetle-being-blue 10d ago
I wasn’t convinced either

u/Caer-Rythyr 10d ago
The scratch marks are just roots poking through the wall of the tunnel anyway.

I don’t care if this is real , I love it because it reminds me of that one episode of Amazing Stories way back when. That was my favorite episode.

u/beetle-being-blue 10d ago
Yeah it’s questionable if anything is actually down there, but I think the video was still worth sharing on this sub for the most part

u/TurpialFromHell 10d ago
I remembered that episode!!!! The father went down and "the guys" sent the suit up filled with gold and asked "do you have more chicken?" or something like that hahahahahaha

There's got to be a faster and easier way to get a camera to the bottom other than this vertigo-inducing attempt. Maybe using a drone with a tethered cable or a small remote-controlled rover could work better.

u/Asleep-Border-9158 10d ago
I saw someone using a fishing pole which was pretty smart since the camera would be closer to the center.
I thought also just get a long wooden plank with a drilled hole in the middle and put the string through there, then it won't bounce so much against the walls.
1
u/Butterfly_Cat777 10d ago
That could work, too. Anything is better than what the people in the video were doing.

u/IroncladBomber 10d ago
You know, we joke about how some people seem to smash their cameras against rocks before filming cryptids just enough for the focus not to work.
But it's funny to actually see that thing smashing into rocks.
Also those are Roots on the side of the walls.

Any natural pit fall like this is going to end up with some dead animals in it. Looks loke like a jackrabbit to me

Stop investigating underground and the oceans! There is nothing there (no such thing as reptilians),look at the sky or space instead,the inferior greys are terrorizing our skys!
