EP 103: “No. Period.” — The Legend of the Seven Gates of Hell in Collinsville, IL.

Explicit

Spooky season is here, campers. This week, we’re heading straight into local legend territory. Nestled in the backroads of Collinsville, Illinois, just past the world’s largest ketchup bottle, lies a string of graffiti-covered railroad underpasses known as the Seven Gates of Hell. For decades, bored teens, paranormal investigators, and the morbidly curious have driven these roads at night, hoping to glimpse something beyond the veil — and sometimes claiming they did.

In this episode, we explore:

• 🪦 The Legend of the Seven Gates — how a series of abandoned train trestles became Illinois’ own portal to the underworld.
• 👻 Gate-by-Gate Lore — residual hauntings, disembodied voices, and the hellhounds said to chase trespassers through the woods.
• 🩸 Real History Beneath the Myth ...
