Helen Carnate

At the tender age of five Helen's parents took her with them on a geological dig in Siberia. As scientists worked feverishly to drill a hole miles into the earth's crust, she watched in amazement as a the drill suddenly broke off and fell into the hole.

Second hand reports from the dig site later reported that the screams and wails of hell could be heard coming from the hole. What actually happened in the cold, Siberian tundra will never be known. What is known is that little Helen was never quite the same... and she was hell to handle from that day forth.
