I have heard of a "Stairway to Hell" that is allegedly located near New Castle. Unlike the one that was located in a closed medical building in Fort Wayne (City?), this is out in the middle of no where. You remove a concrete slab to reveal a spiral staircase. You descend these stairs, and allthough it seems you are gone for a short time, in reality a long time has passed.
Supposedly, a fire fighter went down this stairs, and was forced to ascend when the smell of sulfur became too thick for him to breathe, even though he had a mask and oxygen tanks on. He said he was down for only 12 hours, but 140 hours had passed.
I would GREATLY appreciate directions if anyone has them.

Wow, that place sounds incredible, but unfortunately I've only heard of the one in Fort Wayne. If you do end up finding directions, please post them here, this sounds like a place that would very much be worth the trip to New Castle.

Lima Road - The Old Byron Health Care Center - "The Stairway To Hell" - The old health care center was shut down and a new one was built next to it. You can still walk around in the old building, and you can feel a very ominous sense all around you. Keep walking around until you come to a staircase leading to the Basement. The word "Basement" has been covered and people have put up the phrase "The Stairway to Hell" in place. Shine your flashlight down the staircase and you can see the end, but when you start walking down, turn it out. It has to remain out. As you walk down the stairs, it gets colder and colder, and more unsettling, but you can NEVER reach the end. You can keep walking for a long time and never reach the basement at all. But no matter how long it takes you to walk as far as you dare, when you turn around to go back upstairs, it only takes a fraction of the time to get back to the staircase. One witness reports, ""We walked downstairs for 20 minutes once, and it only took us 3 minutes to get back to the top again. When we got back to the top, we shined our flashlights down the stairs, and once again, we could see the end. It is very very scary, and it makes no sense whatsoever."" Update - Has since been torn down and the tunnels have collapsed.  |

ok, Fort Wayne is in Indiana, and I have heard of this place, I would like to get out there myself when I get the chance, so if you do, let me know how it was. Other wise I couldn't find maps for you but "legenday Ghost" got some.

my good friend went to it with one of his friends
his friend went down the stairs w/ him
but his friend had to go back up cuz the smell of sulfur was to bad for him
my friend continued to walk down the stairs till it got to bad for him too
