Gate Keepers to Hell

The Seven Gates of Hell comes from a myth and legend located in Hellam Township, Pennsylvania just east of the town of York. The tale as mentioned goes on as "the area in question is a wooded area off Trout Run Road in the northwestern part of the Township. All kinds of wild rumors are attached to the area. An insane asylum supposedly located there caught fire, allowing the inmates to escape, but seven gates surrounding the asylum trapped them and many were burned or were killed or lived on to stalk and murder. (source)" Each demonic style figure represents each gate "present" in the area, but in a deeper context refers to past fears I have personally faced throughout my childhood. They all are also considered as demonic manifestations to haunt people through fears, anxiety, stress, and depression.
