It took emergency crews several hours to rescue a man who fell through the floor of a home and then 75 feet down into a well.
Habersham County Emergency Services said they were called to the unoccupied home just before 6:30 p.m. on Sunday after the man's girlfriend called 911.
Emergency officials said once they were able to reach the man, they were able to get him out of the well in about 30 minutes.
