Strange: The well disappeared after a night's sleep

(Baonghean.vn) - During the night, while sleeping, suddenly heard a loud noise, in the morning the homeowner saw that his well only had a puddle of water left.

The story happened on the night of September 20, at the house of Mrs. To Thi Tam (71 years old) in Hamlet 6, Khanh Son 1, Khanh Son Commune (Nam Dan). Mrs. Tam said that in the middle of the night, while she was sleeping, she heard a loud noise but did not know where the sound came from.

The next morning, as soon as she went out to the yard, she was shocked to discover that the well that had been used to build her house in front of the yard, which was over 1.2m high and 1.5m in diameter, was no longer there. The old well was just a puddle of water, and the surrounding area was still eroding, widening into the bathroom and garden.

After one night, Mrs. To Thi Tam was shocked when the well where her house was built had only a puddle of water left.

According to Ms. Tam, this well was dug in 1976, 11m deep, 1.2m high, 1.5m in diameter, only partially bricked above, paved with a floor, the bottom was deep because of laterite so no construction was done. This has been the family's source of water for decades.

The mouth of the "diving" well continues to erode around.

According to locals, the reason the well "sunk" is that although this is a mountainous area with quite firm and flexible soil, the well has been used for a long time and has not been built underneath, so if it rains heavily for a long time, there is a risk of it collapsing.

In particular, 3 days before, Ms. Tam had the People's Committee of Khanh Son commune dig up a large mango tree less than 2 meters from the well, and dig a large hole under the tree. Although after uprooting the tree, the gap was filled, the rain had eroded it into a water-soaked area, potentially causing the well to collapse.
