they talked about sheol, which could be hell. Jesus went into hell and released the captives. Where did they come from? Musta been a lot of them from OT times.

You're right. Sheol is hebrew (שאול) and is Hades in Greek. Sheol is the common grave of mankind. Everyone, good and evil, goes to Sheol when they die. Those who can be purified rise from the dead and enter Heaven on judgement day. Those too evil to be purified stay dead.
