Description
This entrance to hell is located in the hills above Hollywood, California. It often goes unnoticed as the rich entertainment-biz people pass by. But once I got close and heard an echoing metallic hammering deep within. We can only speculate as to what the orange liquid dripping out of the entrance is...

Description
Every year we take a weekend off and venture to a cabin in this very park. Every year we hike the same trail and come across this haunting entrance. It looks man made, but the small size and the fact that it goes directly under a gigantic mountain give it away. I went in for a closer look this past year, and noticed the strange echoing crackles from within, and the fact that it is pitch black inside with no apparent end to the tunnel.

Conveniently located in the depths of my basement, I can assure you I am not associated with the inhabitants. I can only say that whenever the door is open, I close it, but it always ends up open again. I've also found it strange that small animals seem to be drawn to this entrance, but they never enter.

Location
Billings, Montana (link)

Description
This Entrance is located near the fairgrounds in the city of Billings, Montana. Easily viewable from a nearby walking path, it has intrigued me for years. Not enough to get much closer than this photo though. Considering the Entrance is cut into a solid rock hill and appears to have a very heavy door covering it I can only assume that wherever it may lead is Not Good. The only other buildings nearby are livestock barns that are unoccupied for the majority of each year. I have never seen anyone go near the Entrance, nor have I ever seen anyone leaving their horses near it either despite the fact that there is a corral rather close by.

The abandoned Metropolitan Hotel in Asbury Park, NJ. This entrance has very clearly been the subject of intense investigation by the local clergy and marked as such. The cross indicates that it's bad news, obviously, and if you notice the other piece of plywood to the left, it sort of forms the word "it" in conjunction with the cross. When referencing entrances to hell, this door is "it." That must denote something.

Description
This is a supposed haunted restaurant that has been gutted by fire 2 or 3 times. It was originally a mansion that became a restaurant. Ghost hunter types came in while I was growing up and definitely claimed that the place was super haunted. Many locals had quit their jobs there amidst paranormal activity in the past. This building was behind the castle. Rumor had it that there was a mausoleum that housed old man Beardslee, but I doubt this was it, rather it being an entrance to hell.

You can see that there is no door handle on the outside, so that means someone gets to choose who comes in and out. Also, take a look at the eery white glow on the door. There's also the heat emaninating from the door that melts the snow around it. And if you've ever stepped through the door and returned from hell, like I have, you would know that to enter through that door truly brings you to hell.

Walking down the path near Emerald Park, you can find not only this odd bunker which has long been sealed up, with no way to look inside (attempts have been made by myself but I'm just too short to reach the small openings at the tops of the walls). There is an ominous feeling about this place; there are also odd concrete structures with no innards, an old sewer system with only one opening that seems to have caved in, and further down the trail, a bridge in the middle of the woods which goes nowhere and was never finished (the places where the workers would have sat (railroad ties hung on iron ropes) are still hanging from the bottom of it.) Nothing about this place makes sense. Where does the door go? What is this half finished bridges' purpose? Who built these things? These answers will probably never be found and before long, the trees will reclaim the land once again.
