Scientists have always been searching for giant snakes and even many claims of seeing such huge serpents have been made at times. But in the vast forests of Africa, it is said that there is such a snake whose size can be hundreds of feet long. This legendary creature is called Grootslang, a snake that guards buried treasure. Talking about local legends, there exists a deep huge cave in the wilderness of Africa called the "Wonder Hole" or the "Bottomless Pit". According to locals, the cave is filled with precious diamonds and gems.
The cave supposedly connects to the sea 64 kilometers away. It is said that whoever goes inside the cave has to face Grootslang. The person can save his life by giving diamonds and jewels to Grootslang, otherwise, he will die. In the year 1917, English businessman Peter Grayson suddenly disappeared from the jungle of Africa while searching for treasure, and the locals blamed Grootslang for his disappearance. Col. Remy van Lierde, a Belgian pilot who served in the Belgian and British Air Forces during World War II, was returning back by helicopter to their Congo base from a mission in 1959.
