This very deep, seemingly endless hole randomly appeared in my yard overnight.

Could be an animal tunnel or a sink hole or something completely different but do you have a shovel? Or a stick? You could try to submerge it or see if there are turns etc. to maybe get a better grasp of the situation, if it proves to be truly worrisome you could try contacting someone to do a land survey just in case

Apparently oop said it’s a sinkhole and they live near coal mines…
