Stull Cemetery in Kansas is rumored to conceal a hidden STAIRCASE TO HELL… a gateway where the Devil supposedly appears every Halloween and spring equinox.
But is this one of America’s most terrifying supernatural locations… or did a 1974 college newspaper story help manufacture the entire legend?
In this video, we investigate the disturbing folklore surrounding Stull Cemetery, including:
– The hidden staircase said to descend directly into Hell
– The Devil’s alleged twice-yearly visits
– Lost time, mysterious figures and unexplained sounds
– The ruined church where rain supposedly refused to fall
– The bizarre claim that the Pope wouldn’t fly over Stull
– How the legend influenced Eric Kripke and Supernatural
– The surprisingly recent origin of this supposedly ancient story
What began as a frightening tale about a tiny Kansas cemetery eventually attracted teenagers, paranormal investigators, thrill seekers and vandals. Over time, the legend became so famous that people forgot there had ever been a time when Stull wasn’t considered haunted.
Because sometimes a place doesn’t need ghosts to become haunted. Sometimes all it needs is a really good story.
Would you take even ONE step down a mysterious staircase beneath an abandoned cemetery? Tell me in the comments—and remember that Stull Cemetery is private property and an active burial ground. Enjoy the legend without trespassing or disturbing the people buried there.
