From the 1960s through the 1980s, Italy was a political no-man's land. The far right and far left were in a constant state of intense battle, with murders, kidnappings, and bombings happening everywhere. In the throes of the Cold War, no one suspected that the constant upheaval could be an inside job. But was it Italy’s own government, with the help of the CIA, causing this political turmoil, or a coincidental bystander? Today, we’re investigating Operation Gladio.

Exploring the urban legend of Mel's Hole, a supposed bottomless pit first heard about on Coast to Coast AM. It was said to emit a black beam, restore a pet back to life, and even be a portal to another dimension.

The overnight program discussed all things uncanny and entertained the discussion of a local man who claimed his backyard held something otherworldly. He would call periodically over the next 5 years, each time with new information about a magical bottomless pit in his backyard. What started as a piece of local lore eventually required a full government intervention, and the man was never heard from again. Today, we’re discussing the eerie urban legend of Mel’s Hole.
