Drive Around…See What You See
I found the gateway to hell in Stull, Kansas.
Sometimes a drive in the boring country leads to some exciting discoveries. This trip just West of town lead to Stull, Kansas (the apparent gateway to hell).
The Stull Cemetery
Stull has many legends surrounding it, including a crazy one from my own father. His version of the story is that he and friends went there when he was in college — at least a hundred years ago. According to him, he and his friends headed to the old cemetery at Stull on Halloween with some beers…just to see what would happen.
My dad’s story from here gets a bit ridiculous, but maybe this place creates this type of situations. He says when he went back to his car, all the doors were locked and the spare key was in the ignition. The crazy part, he says, is that the spare key was in a sealed envelope in the locked glove compartment. And after he unlocked the glovebox with his key, the envelope was still there and sealed, but empty.
That’s the only story I’ve really heard about the place, but a lot of stories exist online about weird things happening at this place. This site shares more legends and stories from Stull.
Here are a few other shots from my little drive.
