Yemen’s Barhout Well: A Dark History of the Supernatural Explored

#Unexplained #Yemen #ArabFolklore
How real is the folklore behind the legend of Barhoot Well, a mysterious geological anomaly that exists in Hadramaut Yemen? In September 2021, ten explorers from the Omani Caves Exploration Team travelled to the neighboring country of Yemen, to find the truth behind its legendary Barhout Well.
Before the expedition the Barhout Well was famous for giving the impression of being a bottomless pit where the light of the sun itself cannot penetrate.
Till this day, the area has long been home to a steady stream of anomalous activity ranging from strange animals to unexplained disappearances, with both of these mysteries often being linked to the well.
So what did the Omani’s discover, and could there be way more to the story of barhout well than what the media is reporting?

Thanks to Keywan Nikousefat who provided the voice over for this episode. I am trying to get more Middle Eastern voices to appear on this channel and he asked a long time back to volunteer. He also has his own channel called Library of Wisdom linked in the description box above. I can’t put links in the comments section coz a bug seems to remove them upon posting. And yes this episode is a complete redo of one of my earlier episodes from 2019 concerning the Barhout Well. I have been asked a number of times over the past 8 months to revisit and update it since it is an ongoing story. BTW, new viewers will notice that some words are reversed. Its only for the sake of masking sensitive words, and phrases that might get misinterpreted by the platform. Just check the subtitles for meaning.

[@libraryofwisdom4964]

Thanks to you for giving me this opportunity

[@cryptictundra]

Well crude... you mean i have to actually WATCH the video? Man I just want to listen while working around the house lol.

[@paulaunger3061]

Thank you for another fantastic vid! (And I'll certainly check out Keywan's channel :D ). I'm looking forward to everything you have coming up - and more on the Barhout Well. I don't think anything the 2021 study fouund invalidates any of the legends. The fact they made it to the bottom of the well suggests that conditions were significantly different for them than for earlier attempts. Most simply, maybe the gateway was closed? But I'm so fascinated by sinkholes - there was one recently discovered in China containing a huge ancient forest and possibly unknown wildlife. It'll take years to explore that - why would this one, with known dangerous natural phenomena (e.g. gasses) be any different?

I love your channel. This is my favorite channel. Thank you Middle East! Blessed you to be from God!

[@bfreeman8786]

@Defined chink herself I am just a man that found God along the Occult path, trying ever to stray neither left nor right. I have practiced things I no longer would do, and have seen things manifest that give me no reason to question what each of you saw, if you swear to God you saw what you say as best as you can relay. God forgives. I believe you saw a Djinn (in West we usually call them Demons of varying sources, but most people don't know the elements as the periodic table of elements used for science is simultaneously used to wash away the Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Aether idea of elements). These things feed on Loosh and Death, negative energies and that you saw it a year before gas attacks means that the attacks were already planned or Djinn were lustfully waiting for mass death. These things can show in many forms, some even appear different to each person in a single crowd, just as smoke and fire. I wish people didn't have to see such things, but when you do, you know something beyond our simple world does exist. Maybe that is why we sometimes see such things? May God Protect You Always!

There is a portal or inter-dimensional gateway at Glastonbury Tor in England and like you state here, the paranormal activities do not happen to everyone, as the portal is at times not open. However, when it is open, i have heard stories from people i know to be honest, of suddenly being 5 miles away from the Tor in a split second, or walking around and around for hours with beings who were more like elves who spoke of their concerns about how humans are treating the planet at this time. And the area around the Tor has certain places where your body hair stands on end and you get spooked by the feeling of being watched by something unseen. I have photographed anomalies there at night especially at the end of summer when the energies seem to be more powerful.

The overhead photo shots of the Barhout well fill me with unease. Geologically, I wonder what formed the well, volcanic activity? Those odd, capillary shaped ridges spreading out from the well are...peculiar.

[@coryroberts7519]

[@SMakhdoom]

The mysterious Middle East never fails to astonish me on something new, every time. I did not know about the mysterious animal appearances around the well or even the presence of an alive volcano in the Middle Eastern region.

[@Sophie_alFarsiyyah]

Your first Barhout video was how I found your channel, funnily enough just the other day I was wondering if you would do another, I find it absolutely fascinating!

[@outlawandoutdoorstv9901]

Loves this channel !!

[@richt63]

Great video. It is fascinating how every culture has stories of areas on the Earth that are said to be haunted and to be gateways to the spirit realms. Whatever it be the Faery mounds in Ireland and all over Britain to the Sea of Trees at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan. And the pine Barrens of New Jersey in the United States and in Bridgewater Massachusetts United States. These places have stories of unearthly creatures and ghosts dwelling. It all says there is more to our world. Again great video. 👍

[@magnuskallas]

It is interesting. But from a scientific perspective, I wish someone made a nice video about why human-sized winged creatures make no sense and are a fantastic work of primal fears and shared religious/mythological beliefs. Even H.P. Lovecraft fell for it when he scribbled his idea of Cthulhu on a napkin - a gigantic God with minuscule wings compared to its body proportions. Or did he "fall for it"? Considering he wrote somewhat pulp-ish stories, he most likely slapped together ideas that have been around for some time now. I understand there are and there have been some rather large birds around, but slapping wings on a humanoid makes as much sense as combining a bird's or feline's head with a human's body. PS: In very hot temperatures wings produce little to no lift, so that kind of rules out flying creatures in Hell or let's say close to Earth's core.

[@aaronball4700]

@@magnuskallas In the Cthulhu mythos the wings aren’t meant to be used for terrestrial flight but rather to guide it through the cosmos “sailing on solar winds like that of the sea”. You may have seen things portraying Lovecraft’s works but it doesn’t seem you have actually read any of them, rather relegate them to the same schlock as slipstream pulp comics that are just reskins of fantasy novels, like Star Wars. I will say they aren’t comparable to what came after, hard sci-fi, the ultimate mecca of science fiction. H.P lovecrafts works have inspired many of the most acclaimed horror authors such as Stephen King, it’s like talking shit about Frank Sinatra who created the modern concept album when you compare it to the bands and artists that came after. I will admit HP was a racist and his books reflect that to the point I get disgust when reading parts of his books where this shines through, he was a genuinely disturbed and unique man who had helped shape an entire genre of art itself. Respect should be given where it is due.

I love listening to this channel while both at work and at home. It is like listening to a telling of a fascinating story and you can get really entranced in it. In a world that is so hum drum and monotone. Hearing these stories about the Middle East is a nice reprieve from that monotone feeling. Such wonder the Middle East still has

[@make.and.believe]

Fascinating. Regarding the drone, I wonder if it wouldn't go lower than ground level due to inbuilt safety features? My drone will remember it's launch point and ground level, and has a feature to autoland at the takeoff point. It also has altitude restrictions (I live near an airport) for how high it can fly. Additionally, the drone will stop altogether if it loses contact with the controller, perhaps the well walls prevented a signal? Very weird all around. I've never heard of this place before, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

However i do miss the old narrator, optimistic arab sometimes. Not saying any of the other are bad. Much love

[@Thejoshrandall]

I doubt Ballen with 6 MILLION subs wishes he only had 170k like this channel. And Coast to Coast never realized?. Maybe you weren't there 35 YEARS ago when Art Bell started exposing 100s of fringe topics nobody had ever heard of. It would be a challenge to find a phenomenon or conspiracy not covered on that show....first, absolute pioneer in the field. I don't care for Ballen's style of storytelling, as if he was there, and mixing fiction and fact. Coast to Coast is a completely different format, of interviewing experts and eye witnesses, and in my opinion better than either. However, George Noory, most likely a shill, comes off as a bobble headed stooge and has ruined the show that Art Bell started back in 1988. Criticism is only valid when opinion is not presented as fact, and conclusions are not uninformed assumptions. Just my opinion, of the facts. 😏
