No more Mel's Hole interviews for Red Elk

Red Elk, a Kittitas Valley intertribal medicine man interviewed by Seattle’s KOMO TV station about Mel’s Hole in February, recently said that would be the last time he takes the media out on Manastash Road for a interview about it. He didn’t show the TV crew the hole.

“It’s far more important to seek your spiritual life. The hole isn’t important. Just stay away from trying to find it,” said Red Elk, 69. “The government has it. It’s totally off limits.”

In past interviews, Red Elk has said he has visited the hole several times. It’s dangerous, he says.

He told his own story about Mel’s Hole in September 2008 on the late-night “Coast-to-Coast with Art Bell” AM radio show. He indicated it led to an underground, shadow-government facility. He said the hole is carefully camouflaged with a cover to look like the surrounding lands so it can’t be found.

“Don’t look for it. Stay away. I have to say I’ve been burned by you guys, the media and all, many times with this Mel’s Hole. They make me out to be a liar. They say one thing and do something else,” Red Elk said recently.

Red Elk did say the KOMO news crew did a good job with the Mel’s Hole segment and was respectful toward him.
