The lake drained overnight earlier this year in the hamlet of Sancia.
The hole has inexplicably grown deeper
and wider by the day. It now resembles a yawning chasm and none of the locals
can determine how deep it actually goes down.
The Devil's Work: Villagers fear Sancia
is being pulled into the fires of Hades
Local media say an underground river is
to blame for creating the hole and draining the lake. But superstitious
peasants believe the devil is behind it.
Gone to Hell: The water has vanished
from the lake at Sancia
"We are wondering what we have
done to offend the lord," said one.
"We think that we will be the next
to be pulled down this hole."
Villagers have taken to holding special
prayer services and walking around with garlic in their pockets to ward off
Satan.
An expert is due to arrive in the next
few days to ascertain whether houses near to the hole are in danger.
"We wait for experts to come as
the hole gets closer and closer to some houses.
We fear it could soon start to pull the
houses in the hole", one villager said.
Bad Vibe: The empty lake terrified many
villagers
Full: The lake before the devil struck
