Comment

The Proumeyssac chasm was explored in 1907 by Gabriel Galou. In the 18th century, there was a hole in the ground from which a vapour emanated, thought to be the smoke of a volcano. Legend has it that this hole was the home of the devil (because of the supposed smoke), which may explain why so many human and animal corpses were deposited there. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouffre_de_Proumeyssac
