"Gates of Hell" or the Seven Gates
"Gates of Hell" or the Seven Gates in Athol, Massachusetts is included on ODDKNOWN because a source-recorded haunting or paranormal story is tied to the location. Source-reported background: Apparently this cult lived in a clearing 400 yards off the road, they did sacrifices and killed animals and people. There are seven gates that lead into the clearing where there is an alter and an abandoned house. Reported activity: If you go at night you hear whispering, can see animals hanging from trees and if you scream from inside the clearing, you can't hear it from the road! The Shadowlands/TidyTuesday entry is a compiled report, so the paranormal claims are presented as folklore or witness reports rather than verified supernatural evidence.
