A Natural Sinkhole Turned Out to Be Something Else and Now People Are Mad

That sinking feeling

It was an ordinary day in Blackhawk, South Dakota. Resident Albert Reitz, 56 years old, took it as the chance to mow out his lawn. It was a simple chore that he had probably done a hundred times by now but that day, something changed.

While Albert was mowing the lawn, he felt something strange happen beneath his feet. It was as if the ground was moving and he felt like the ground was going slant from behind. Albert had a feeling that he was being sucked downwards from behind.
