You can listen to the story of the emergency telephone while sitting on a couch.

Popularly, the pools are called "devil's pits," referring to so-called ancient pagan practices from "pre-Christian" cultures that are said to have occurred around these pits. The fact is that amateur archaeologists made finds near the devil's pits in the early 20th century, which indicate the presence of prehistoric burial fields.

Many imaginative stories have been written about this well (not just any well). The first probably dates back to 1571 when Lieske Coolbonders committed suicide by drowning herself in a well when the devil himself chased her. Lieske was the bastard daughter of Katrien Coolbonders who was raped by a Spanish nobleman. The nobleman was murdered by Katrien's husband. The body was first dumped in the Devil's Well. Later it was buried somewhere near it.

In 1695, a man from Reusel was said to have been hanged on a gallows on the Hoge Mouw and later buried in the Duivelskuil.
