I've looked on the web but I can only find very little informations of them.

Very briefly, the most popular beleif is that they are in Pennsylvania near the old mental hospital (in the long driveway actually). Apparently many patients escaped and died in the woods. So I now have numerous questions:

Did the gate legend originated from the mental hospital's story (ie. patients died and haunt the place making it hell in some sort of a way) or they suppose that those deaths are actually associated with them gates (ie. patients died because they unintentionally crossed the gates)?

I've also read that the gates of hell are the big red gates in from of the hospital but also heard they were 7 gates so are there 7 gates (including the big red ones) or only one? And if there are 7 is the big red one of them? Sort of confusing...

So far I've read something about the 7 gates that looked like this (excuse my poor memory):

Gate 1- Demonic dogs will come to guard.
Gate 2- You see ghosts/spirits.
Gate 3- You see more and more spirits.
Gate 4- You see demons.

And to this date, supposedly nobody went past the 5th gate. Apparently, anyone who was brave enough to go throught the 4th one despite all what they saw and felt either died or never returned except for one who was greatly traumatized.

Thanks, I am very interested in this legend. I don't really beleive in hell BUT I do beleive in ghosts, haunting and evil entities.

Honestly i've never heard that story, i've heard bout the Gate to Hell and the Three Headed Guard Dog Cerberus. Hm whats the site you got that information from? could you tell us possibly? maybe i can help you research it more tomorrow, i'm out of school for good now so i can research up some stuff, but i've never heard bout the Seven Gates of Hell

depends what the concept of "hell" is in this legend. There has been a great misconception of hell in the bible (the talk of suffering and fire). About a year back on the news there was a report of how it was one of the many mistranslations in the bible (just like cinderalla, it wasn't a glass slipper originally it was fur). The actual hell (hades) is nothing more then nothing in actual translation you will die and thats it. The concept of fire and the like came from a place similar to a crematorium where they used to burn the bodies of the deceased called hades.
There was a mixup (what do you expect from a book thats been translation thousands of times over) so hell in the bible is simply dying and going no where. If you think about it Jesus would be quite the hypercrit "accept me as the lords son or burn for ever" that sure wouldnt seem right.

But I think those who get mixed up with the devil he can easily do things that would seem more hellish n maybe take your soul if he so wishes for people who make pacts with him n the like.

“Marvel not at this for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves(gates) shall hear His voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life;; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation-from the Bible.
I read that the Gates Of Hell are in the (night) skies ascending up to the summit of Heaven(Dimensions). The Fall equinox denotes the gates to hell..Or the underworld.

well... I pressed your link and read ALL the forum answers... sigh there was like 300, some very long and some very short. I wanted to set in a answer but they toke it as "spam" ... wtf ? but then i copy the answer and put it in here to show you my meaning about this sh*t


I actually believed in the Seven Gates of Hell when i read the story...
Then I started to read the forum messages, and it is obvious that it is bull when people say sh** like "Me and a couple friends visit it and climbed to the 5th gate, until we saw a man running with a chainsaw towards us blablabla..." Why? WHY is people so ****ed up, i guess to or three people out of four hundred would have visited this place in real life... They say NOTHING! about a fire on Toad Road or Troat Run Road on the internet!
They say NOTHING about a mental hospital on Toad/Troat Run Road on the internet! I have asked several people who "have visited" the place in the past, and they "dont remember" the exact way to the "Seven Gates of Hell". This is one URBAN LEGEND! URBAN LEGEND! You hear me? URBAN LEGEND! There havent even existed such as a "Brain wash" machine or a microwave "Mind Control" machine! By the way... Microwave. Thats what you warm up coffee with if you are thirsty. The story about The Seven Gates of Hell is bull!!!

i totally agree with you i live in the area and went searching and never found it so whatever n ure right no one can ever tell you "where it is" after "they have been there" dah

IMO, there are no "Gates of Hell"...in any town. My guess is, people think it sounds "evil" and "spooky" and it was probably made up to keep people off private property or something. Now whether that piece of land this supposed mental hospital on is haunted, who knows. If we are speaking biblically for arguments sake...wouldn't they be called the Gates TO Hell??

Now, why would Lucifer (who I don't believe in, sorry) have his precious gates of hell out there in the open for just anyone to find? Think about it...

Ya gotta love urban legends...although some people think legends do have a basis of fact to them....then just embellished over time.
