Topic: Hell Gate

[jphunter26]

This is one photo of the Hell Gate that Max showed to me down in Orland Park, I believe.
It was actually a strange place and very disconcerting; remember those horror movies with those long hallways that seem to keep stretching back into oblivion? This site was like that...

Here is a closeup of the photo with the possible creature put in a box to hold it from wrecking havoc upon this earth!!

Cool pic.  Did you follow the trail?

[Exzyle2k]

No, neither JP nor myself followed the trail, and I refuse to.

The stories I've heard about the things that appear aren't exactly friendly, and I don't have the proper protection to handle a fight of that magnitude...

The person who initially told and showed me the hell gate told me the creatures he saw moving back and forth across the path were true demons, not the half-breeds that are known to make appearances in cemeteries and the like.

Hello Bodhi and Max,
Thanx for the compliment Bodhi!
And thank you max for filling him in!!
That was a very strange place and it had a distinct air of menace about it.
I think that it is a very cool photo too!!

Hey guys, I was just looking at the photo and something caught my eye...right in the middle of the branch laying across the path..is that some sort of humanoid figure standing behind them? I looked at it with zoom mode and that does look like some kind of humanoid/creature to me.
What do you think??

[Exzyle2k]

JP,  you'd have to point out the general area that you see something... I'm not seeing something pop out, but knowing the area it wouldn't surprise me much if there was.

Hi Max, I posted a closeup of the photo in the first entry.

[Exzyle2k]

Yeah... Umm.... About that...

I see a few humanoid beings there...

[jphunter26]

Thanks for pointing that out, Max.
There seems to be quite a few faces in that photo...

MAX, Im in orland and i want to go there.  Where is this place at?

[jphunter26]

Hey! This is my thread, not Max's... lol

Hi Ed, How have you been? Let me see if I remember where it is at. 143rd street West of LaGrange Road ..go to
108th street I believe...turn right , going North until the road bends sharply at a 90 degree turn to the left...right
at that bend in the road on the east side is the path to the Hell Gate. There is no parking there so make the turn to the left and park your car of the side of the road as much as you can.

I lived about a block or so away from this forest preserve for 13 years.  I never heard of it being haunted or called "Hell Gate" but I did hear a body was in the woods on the 139th side of the 90 degree angle you're talking about.  I guess someone was running or walking their dog and found a body in a black garbage bag.  BUT this was what kids were saying when I was in junior high or early high school - so who the heck knows if it's true or not 

[jphunter26]

So you kids played in there all the time and didn't know!!!
I would imagine that aside from that body that was found nothing strange or creepy ever happened?

[angels18]

No I never heard of anything strange or creepy happening - well except for the dead body of course!  And I don't think any kids ever played in there.  It's not really a spot for playing, but drove past it every day on the bus. . .

139th & 108th is the exact intersection.

The house is just the address that's marked... You can trace the path going from the street into the woods... It's at the very corner of the pavement.

[demons666]

Right.  So Exzyle2k since my wife grew up 2 blocks away from there and never heard of anything about that place, what have you heard about that intersection which leads into the forest perserve to McGinnis Slough?
