Secret places in the world. The most mystical places on earth
On our planet, along with modern, technologically and industrially developed megacities, there are many places created by ancient masters or by nature itself.
Each such attraction has its own legend and, of course, a lot of things are silent. Mysterious places cause a huge number of questions among scientists, confuse with anomalous phenomena and uncertainty.
1. Devil's Tower, USA
The so-called Devil's Tower is actually a natural rock of amazingly regular shape and consists of columns with sharp corners. This is a truly mysterious place, which, according to research, is already more than 200 million years old, located in the United States, on the territory of the modern state of Wyoming. 
In size, the Devil's Tower is several times larger than the Cheops pyramid and from the outside it resembles a man-made structure. Due to its unrealistic size and unnaturally regular configuration, the rock has become the object of attention of many scientists, and local residents claim that Satan himself built it.
2. Mounds of Cahokia, USA
Cahokia or Cahokia is an abandoned Indian city, the ruins of which are located near Illinois, USA. This place reminds of how ancient civilizations lived, and its complex structure proves that this area was inhabited by a highly developed people 1500 years ago. The ancient city impresses with its scale, on its territory a network of terraces and 30-meter earth mounds, as well as a huge solar calendar, have been preserved. 
It is still unknown why almost 40,000 people left their settlement, and which Indian tribes are direct descendants of the Cahokians. Despite this, the mounds of Cahokia are a favorite place for many tourists who come here in the hope of unraveling the mystery of the ancient city.
3. Chavinda, Mexico
This mystical place, according to the beliefs of the natives, is the center of the intersection of the real and otherworldly worlds. That is why incredible things happen here that are difficult to understand for a modern person. 
Chavinda is of interest to many treasure hunters, because according to legend, this area hides unprecedented riches. Unfortunately, no one has yet been able to find the treasure. Unfortunate treasure hunters often attribute their failures to otherworldly forces.
4. Newgrange, Ireland
Newgrange is the oldest building on the territory of modern Ireland, it is already about 5 thousand years old. It is believed that this long corridor with a transverse room is a grave, but scientists have not yet been able to determine for whom. 
It is still unknown how ancient people were able to build such a perfect structure, which for five millennia was not only lucky enough to survive, retaining its primitive appearance, but also to remain completely waterproof.
5. Pyramids of Yonaguni, Japan
The mysterious underwater pyramids near the western Japanese island of Yonaguni cause a lot of controversy among modern archaeologists and surveyors. The main question is whether the structures are a natural phenomenon, or whether they were created by the hand of an ancient person. 
In the course of numerous studies, it was possible to establish that the age of the Yonaguni pyramids is more than 10 thousand years. Therefore, if the Yonaguna monuments created mysterious civilizations unknown to us, then the history of mankind should be rewritten.

6. Geoglyphs of Nazca, Peru
The Nazca geoglyphs in Peru are one of the most mysterious places on the planet. They were discovered in the middle of the last century and are still being actively discussed by scientists who cannot unequivocally say what ancient people wanted to express with these giant drawings of animals and for what purpose they were used? 
Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to ask the creators, but scientists offer 2 main versions: some, leaning towards the cosmic theory of the origin of geoglyphs, believe that they are landmarks for alien ships, others argue that these are giant lunar calendars. In any case, the Nazca rock paintings are proof of the existence of an ancient and mysterious civilization on the territory of modern Peru, which lived here long before the famous Incas and was distinguished by a high level of development.
7. Black Bamboo Hollow, China
The hollow of black bamboo or Heizhu is perhaps the most terrible place on Earth. The locals called it the Valley of Death, and for any money they do not even want to come close to it. One memory of the hollow brings great horror to them. 
They say that children and pets disappear without a trace here, which has a lot of documentary evidence. Scientists have been interested in the hollow of black bamboo for more than a decade, who managed to prove that the valley in the Chinese province of Sichuan is an anomalous area with a difficult climate and rapidly changing weather conditions, which together provoke subsidence of the soil, which, according to scientists, are the reasons for the disappearance of people .
8. Path of the Giants, Ireland
The Path of the Giants, or the Road of the Giants in Northern Ireland, is an amazing coastal area that was formed many centuries ago as a result of a volcanic eruption. It consists of about 40 thousand basalt columns that look like giant steps. 
The natural attraction belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This place deserves admiration, so it is visited annually by more than one thousand tourists from all over the world.
9. Goseck circle, Germany
The Goseck Circle is an ancient Neolithic structure in the German district of Burgenlandkreis. The circle was accidentally discovered in the early 90s of the last century while surveying the area from an airplane. 
The original appearance of the building was returned only after a complete reconstruction. Scholars have little doubt that the Goseck Circle was used for astronomical observations and calendaring. This proves that our ancestors also studied cosmic bodies, their movement and kept track of time.
10. Moai Monuments on Easter Island
Easter Island is world-famous for its giant Moai statues scattered throughout its territory. Each such megalithic figure is a large monument created by the masters of an ancient civilization in the crater of the local volcano Rano Raraku. 
In total, about 1000 remains of such man-made monuments were found on the island. Most have already gone under water.
Today, the vast majority of the statues are again placed on platforms facing the ocean, from where they continue to meet the guests of the island and remind of the former power of the ancient people who inhabited these expanses.

11 Georgia Guidestones, USA
The Georgia Guidestones are 20 tons of polished granite slabs inscribed in eight of the world's most famous languages. The inscriptions are commandments for future generations on how to rebuild civilization after a global cataclysm. The monument was installed in 1979, the customer is listed in the documents under the name Robert C. Christian. 
The height of the monumental structure is a little over six meters, and the slabs are oriented towards the four sides of the world and have holes. In one of them you can see the North Star at any time of the year, in the second - the Sun during the solstice and equinox. A few years ago, the monument was vandalized and damaged by paint, which has not yet been removed.
12. Richat (Eye of the Sahara). Mauritania
On the territory of modern Mauritania, the largest desert in the world hides an amazing natural phenomenon of the Proterozoic period, whose name is Richat or the Eye of the Sahara. 
This object has an incredibly huge size (up to 50 kilometers in diameter), so it can be seen even from space. The structure has several ellipsoidal rings formed by sedimentary rocks and sandstones about 500 million years ago.
13. "Gate to Hell" - Darvaza crater in Turkmenistan
In the Turkmen desert of the Karakum, there is the gas crater Darvaza, which looks like a gate to hell. This fire pit, about 60 meters in diameter and up to 20 meters deep, is the result of excavations carried out here during the Soviet Union. 
During such geological research, a group of scientists discovered an underground cavern with natural gas, which almost led to the death of a huge number of people. Therefore, the management decided to set fire to the gas so that it would not threaten the local residents. But the fire, which was supposed to burn no more than 5 days, is still burning, instilling fear in everyone who comes close to it.

14. Arkaim, Russia
Arkaim is an ancient settlement reminiscent of ancient civilizations, which was discovered several decades ago in the vicinity of Chelyabinsk. It is believed that this landmark of Russia is the birthplace of the ancient Aryans, who gave rise to European, Persian and Indian civilizations. 
Arkaim is not only a unique architectural monument with a thousand-year history, but also a place of concentration of healing energy flows that can save a person from any disease.
15. Stonehenge, England
English Stonehenge is a real place of pilgrimage for tourists from all over the world. It attracts with its mystery, legends and mystical beginning. Stonehenge is a megalithic structure up to a hundred meters in diameter, which is located on the Salisbury Plain. Territory of mysteries. stonehenge16. Loch Ness, Scotland
Loch Ness in Scotland is one of the deepest lakes on the European continent. It hides many mysteries. Eyewitnesses claim that a prehistoric animal named Nessie lives in the lake, resembling a plesiosaur (a type of dinosaur that died out about 65 million years ago). 
To date, scientists have not been able to obtain evidence of the existence of the Loch Ness Monster, but photographs taken by Nessie hunters periodically appear in the press.
Photomontage or not? Experts are involved in clarifying such issues.
17. Bermuda Triangle, Atlantic Ocean
The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle is the mystery of human lives tragically cut short under unclear circumstances. It is located in the northwestern part of the Atlantic Ocean, between Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. 
Modern history has about a hundred mystical disappearances of people, aircraft and even ships in this anomalous zone. Equipment periodically fails here, aircraft simply disappear from radar in clear, calm weather, and ships go astray. At the same time, it is not possible to find any evidence of the collapse of the latter: neither the wreckage nor the sunken parts of the ships.
18. Egyptian pyramids, Giza Valley, Egypt
One of the 7 wonders of the world, the Egyptian pyramids are majestic and mysterious structures with a thousand-year history. Currently, it is one of the main attractions of the world, which millions of tourists wish to see. The secret of the construction of the pyramids, as well as their history, purpose and durability is the subject of controversy for more than a dozen scientists. 
There have always been discussions around the existence of the pyramids, based on both real facts and myths with legends. One thing is clear for sure, the pyramids in Giza are proof of the greatness and power of the empire of the pharaohs, which existed for more than one hundred years and left a significant imprint on the entire history of mankind.
Planet Earth is unique in nature.
There are many beautiful and charming places in the world that many people want to visit. But there are mysterious, unusual and mystical places.
While scientists are trying to unravel the mystery of their uniqueness, they arouse a burning interest among tourists.
So, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the TOP 5 most mystical places on planet Earth.
5th place - Roopkund Lake, India
The glacial lake is located at an altitude of 5029 meters in the Himalayas. The alpine reservoir is called the "lake of skeletons" for the many skeletons and skulls on its shores.
It has been rumored since the late 19th century, but is believed to have been discovered by a local forester in 1942. Many believed that these remains belonged to Japanese soldiers, but numerous examinations have shown that the age of the remains is more than 800 years.
In 2004, an expedition of scientists found that human remains lie from 850 AD. DNA analysis found that the bones are divided into two parts: those belonging to people of small stature and people of ordinary stature.
The cause of their death was hail. It is suggested that, most likely, they were pilgrims to the sacred place Homkund.
4th place - Arkaim, Russia
In 1987, in the Chelyabinsk region, archaeologists discovered this mysterious city. Previously, it belonged to the ancient arches, which suddenly left it and finally set it on fire.
Arkaim is well preserved and practically not destroyed. In this place, inexplicable things are happening.
There are legends that people are healed here, and illnesses go away forever. The city consists of two circles with four entrances, according to the cardinal points.
This place is popular with tourists. It is even possible to spend the night in an open-air tent on the territory of this mystical place.
3rd place - Loch Ness, Scotland
This place gained popularity after the appearance of a mysterious animal. For the first time, a huge monster in the 20th century was seen by the McKay couple, who had a hotel nearby.
Many eyewitnesses describe him as a huge dinosaur with an outstretched neck.
An English pilot even made a film confirming its existence. Scientists have found a long cave at the bottom of this lake.
Scientists are still studying this lake, but for now a huge flow of tourists visits it every year.
2nd place - Heizhu Valley, China
The hollow of black bamboo is located in the southern region of China. The popularity of this place lies in the fact that people die and disappear here repeatedly, and accidents occur.
In 1950, a plane crash occurred here, although no malfunctions had previously been discovered. One day, an expedition team disappeared in the valley.
The leader of the detachment fell behind the rest of the participants a little and saw how a thick fog appeared around him. He was terribly scared and when the fog cleared he found that the rest of the group had disappeared.
It is believed that this anomalous zone is located on the border of the transition to a parallel world. It is worth noting that the evaporation of the roots of rotting plants, which are located in the hollow, can affect the psyche of people.
1st place - Bermuda Triangle, Atlantic Ocean
The most dangerous and mystical zone on Earth. In the Devil's Triangle, planes, ships and people disappear without a trace.
The anomalous zone got its name because it looks like a triangle, where the peaks are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and the southern cape of Florida.
Vincent Gladdis devoted an article to this place in 1964 and became the author of this phrase. Many films have been made and many books written about the Bermuda Triangle.
Skeptics argue that in this place there are no less cataclysms than in others. It is believed that the triangle is a transition to a parallel world.
But there are also scientific points of view on the occurrences in this anomalous zone, and several books have been written where the authors debunk the myths about the danger zone.
In any case, while skeptics and scientists argue, this place rightfully takes first place in the ranking of the most mystical places on Earth.
There are many places in our world that both attract and frighten with their mystery. People disappear there, ghosts appear, animals behave strangely. Scientists voice various theories, but none of them claims to be one hundred percent reliable.
1. Valley of the Headless, Canada
This place got its terrible name because of a series of tragic incidents. At the end of the 19th century, gold was discovered here, and fortune hunters rushed into the valley. In 1898, a group of 6 gold miners disappeared without a trace. 7 years later, two Macleod brothers and their friend Robert Veer disappeared in the same valley. After 3 years, 9 decapitated corpses were accidentally discovered.Mysterious disappearances of people continue in the valley to this day.
The locals themselves are sure that all the deaths are the work of the squatters. Creatures resembling hairy giants were often seen here, and their traces were even more often found.
In fact, most likely, this is the work of a gang of thugs operating in the valley, who hunt for gold miners and their prey. However, the police do not confirm this conjecture.
2. Valley of Falling Birds, India
In the last days of summer in the Indian state of Assam, unusual phenomena occur in the Jatinga mountain valley. At night, closer to midnight, flocks of birds fly here in an almost unconscious state. Birds circle low - locals even knock them down with sticks, and then cook them on a fire. Many birds fall to the ground and do not even try to escape from the hands of the person lifting them.
The inhabitants of the valley are sure that it is the gods who reward them for their righteous life by sending easy prey.
Scientists have also found that the hypnotic behavior of birds (lack of the instinct of self-preservation and the body's reactions to external stimuli) is formed only with the obligatory combination of such factors as the new moon, wind and darkness.
Based on this, it is possible to voice a hypothesis about the presence in the area of a short-term geomagnetic anomaly, which, if all the listed natural factors coincide, has such an unusual effect on the birds living in the area.
3. Death Valley, USA
Contrary to popular legends, this place is not associated with the disappearance of people and the death of livestock - the valley got its name during the California gold rush. Here you can observe unusual creeping stones - many have seen them, but they were recorded on camera only 2 years ago. Traces stretching behind multi-kilogram boulders reach several tens of meters.
Scientists led by paleobiologist Richard Norris say they have solved the mystery of moving rocks in Death Valley.
According to them, the movement of stones is influenced by daily temperature changes in winter, coastal wind, the nature of the soil at the bottom of a nearby lake, and even climate change. In their opinion, due to the general warming, such movements have become less frequent.
4. Drossolides, Greece
Near the castle of Franca Castello on the Greek island of Crete, many locals and tourists came across an amazing chrono-mirage (an event from the past) called "drossolides", which means "droplets of moisture." According to them, in the early summer morning over the sea, shrouded in fog, strange outlines of warriors appear and sometimes the sound of a battle is clearly audible. After some time, the time mirage disappears near the walls of the castle. At this place in the middle of the XIX century a fierce battle took place between the Turks and the Greeks. Everyone who observed this mystical phenomenon claims that the phantoms of these warriors appear at the castle.
Researcher Andrei Perepelitsyn believes that elementary particles with sufficiently high energies, moving in air saturated with water vapor, leave a trail of water droplets. They may be able to ionize the air and "appear" as hazy images before the dew falls. The rest is a matter of human imagination.
Maybe chronomirages cause magnetic storms or geomagnetic disturbances in some small area of the area. To find out, further research is needed, taking into account the possible impact of these factors.
5. Dead Lake, Kazakhstan
This small lake in the Taldykurgan region of Kazakhstan seems quite ordinary from the outside, but even in the hottest summer it remains terribly cold. There is absolutely no life in the lake: no fish are found here, even aquatic insects do not live. And people are always drowning in the lake. It is also frightening that the drowned people of the Dead Lake do not float to the surface, but, on the contrary, sink to the bottom and stand there straight as candles. Even professional divers with equipment cannot stay in the water of this lake for more than 5 minutes. For some inexplicable reason, they suddenly begin to choke, although their tanks are still full of air.
According to one version, mystical rumors are associated with the phenomenon of hypersolarization of water and the purple bacteria living there that emit hydrogen sulfide. Even in small doses, it actively affects the human psyche.
There is also an assumption that there is a crevice at the bottom of the lake, from which a toxic gas is released, which kills all life. However, there are no plans to conduct separate scientific studies of the Dead Lake in Kazakhstan.
6. Heizhu Black Bamboo Hollow, China
Hundreds of people enter this bamboo jungle every year and stay there forever. Moreover, everything disappears completely without a trace - no traces, no bodies, no personal belongings. Documented cases of missing people here originate from the middle of the last century. In 1950, for an unknown reason, a plane crashed here. Interestingly, there were no technical malfunctions on board, the crew did not give distress signals and did not report any oddities. The plane, along with all the people, just disappeared.
Of course, the locals talk about portals to parallel worlds and temporal paradoxes that take people from the hollow to some other reality.
But scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified a structure of geological rocks that is completely unique in its characteristics in this place, and also recorded the release of deadly poisonous fumes, which turned out to be the product of decay of some tree species, which are in abundance here. The researchers also noted the difficult local climate with unexpectedly and dramatically changing weather, and strong geomagnetic radiation.
7. Pluckley Village, England
Residents of the English village of Pluckley claim the existence of as many as 12 ghosts in their village. The Plakliians say that all the ghosts once lived in this village, but died or died long ago. 
Skeptics are sure that the population of the village is simply flattered by the attention of tourists who constantly come to stare at ghosts.
However, when a group of researchers arrived in the village in 2011, something inexplicable happened. Pluchley was swarming with flies, and that was in near-zero temperatures early in the winter. The researchers had to return with nothing.
8. Palmyra Island, Pacific Ocean
The ship of the American captain Edmund Fanning in 1798 crashed off the coast of Palmyra, a small uninhabited atoll with an area of only 12 square meters. km. Many of those who tried to swim to the island drowned or were eaten by sharks. 10 people were saved, and in 2 months only three survived on the island. The survivors claimed that the rest had been killed by the island. During World War II, Palmyra was used by US Air Force planes for landing. However, everyone who was on the island at different times said that he aroused fear, depression, anger and hatred in them. Some suddenly took their own lives for no apparent reason, others, on the contrary, suddenly went crazy and killed their friends and colleagues. Almost everyone says that it was scary all the time on the island.
Some speculate about the existence of a certain religious sect on the island. Scientist Mershan Marin believes that there is some unknown creature hostile to humans on the atoll. Many support this idea and try to prove that the island itself is alive. Having lured into a trap with his beauty, he kills his careless guests. And there are exotic versions, for example, that there are gates to another dimension on the atoll.
Be that as it may, there are few people who would like to visit Palmyra, especially after 1986, when the American disposal of radioactive waste appeared on the island.
9. Overton Bridge, Scotland
In 1951, a certain dog jumped off this 15-meter bridge for no apparent reason. It seemed like just an accident. But by 1955, there were already more than 50 such suicide dogs. Moreover, it is noteworthy that all dogs always chose the same place for jumping - between the last two spans on the right side of the bridge. Until now, an average of 1 dog per month jumps from this bridge. Surprisingly, some animals that managed to survive after this suicide attempt recovered and again went to the bridge to jump.
Animal behavior expert David Sexton has determined that the ground just below where the dogs fell is simply filled with traces of mice and minks. The urine of males of these animals has a very strong effect on dogs and cats. Further experiment only confirmed the ethologist's theory. He diffused the smell of the animals living under the bridge and observed the behavior of ordinary dogs. As a result, only 2 out of 30 dogs - with short muzzles and small noses - remained calm. The rest thoughtlessly ran to the source of the smell, practically not looking around, as if bewitched.
10. Aokigahara Forest, Japan
Translated from Japanese, the name of this place sounds like "plain of blue trees." But most often it is called the "forest of suicides." They say that in the Middle Ages, the local poor, driven to despair by the lack of food, brought their elderly relatives here and left them to die in this forest. Since then, restless souls have been roaming the forest, lying in wait for lonely travelers, wanting to take revenge on them for all their suffering. Until now, from 70 to 100 bodies of people who have decided to commit suicide are found in the forest every year. Many come to this forest on purpose to commit suicide, but there are rumors that the forest itself “persuades” some of them to do so. As if the one who turned off the paved hiking trails to the side immediately embraces the strongest melancholy and depression. So strong that the poor fellow immediately lays hands on himself.
So far, only the fact that at the foot of Mount Fuji in the "forest of suicides" the compass does not work is reliably known. There is a strong magnetic anomaly, which, apparently, has a tremendous impact on humans.
Just before the entrance to the territory of Aokigahara hangs a sign with the following content: “Your life is the most priceless gift that you received from your parents. Think about your family. Don't suffer alone, call us at 0555-22-0110."
Our vast planet is full of such places that impress with their unimaginable beauty and mystery. From time immemorial, people have always been attracted to themselves by the most. There are so many places on Earth where unimaginable events take place, and there are such amazing creatures that impress not only ordinary tourists, but also those who have met many scientists. Researchers are trying to find out more about what they see, but many questions remain unanswered, and mysterious mysteries remain unsolved.
Amazing buildings
The most mysterious and unexplored places are historical buildings about which there are various rumors and legends. And no one knows the reliable answer to the question of where they came from and in what century BC. It is very interesting to get answers to these questions, but when will it be possible? Someday people will find answers to these puzzling questions.
To understand how many such places and buildings are on our planet, we can give a whole list of specific examples.
stonehenge
This is the very first and probably the most famous attraction that does not have reliable information about its origin. The place where this building is located is called the county of Wiltshire, which is located in England. This monument of the world is considered the most mysterious. Around it, scientists and researchers make hundreds of assumptions that are not similar to each other. But, unfortunately, disputes do not move forward.
It is with its mysteriousness that this building attracts people from all over the world.
This stone structure evokes a variety of fantasies. Movies have even been filmed here. It is said that this amazing miracle was created by extraordinary people with high development, who thus arranged a memorial place for those who died in their time. This theory - one of many - is confirmed by the fact that burials were indeed found near this place.
Underwater Pyramid of Yonaguni
This place is the most mysterious. From the name it is clear that it is located underground in the water. Scientists have found that this unusual building is about ten thousand years old. She is located in Japan. This place is especially memorable for those who love scuba diving. It was a diver who discovered these pyramids about twenty years ago.
Interestingly, one of the walls of this monument has a sharp cliff that goes to a depth of about thirty meters. Some scientists suggest that this monument was at first an ordinary rock, but then people transformed it, and subsequently it acquired the appearance that it has now.
Nazca lines
Still incomprehensible and amazing are the Nazca lines, which are located in Peru, not far from the Nazca desert. From above, these drawings look especially neat and resemble certain pictograms that could hardly have appeared on their own. The clarity of these lines is due to the fact that their geographical location, which implies a permanent dry season, has kept them in their proper, one might say, untouched form. In addition to lines, here you can also observe images of various animals and insects, as well as other objects.
This most mysterious place in the world has been subjected to many assumptions by historians and archaeologists. They say that these amazing lines were created for the religious rites that the ancient Indians performed. Some believe that this is only evidence that huge looms were used in this place before.
New Grage Mound
No less mysterious is the mound, which is located near Ireland and has the name New Grange. This mound above the ground is 85 meters in diameter. And it reaches a height of about 11 meters. The most interesting thing about this mound is that although the roof is made of earth, which is overgrown with various grasses, the walls are not earthen, but stone, that is, they are made of quartz, which distinguishes this mound from all others and makes it unique.
They say that this building is about five thousand years old, of course, during this time the walls collapsed a little, but they are neat. It is also very interesting to find out exactly how this building looks inside. Only after going inside, you can immediately get into a long corridor that leads to a room located across.
This room consists of tall monoliths, holes in the walls, rings carved into the walls and other decorations, and there is also a large stone bowl. Many are surprised by what happens to the sun on the solstice in December. At this time, a thin ray of the sun literally penetrates inside this mound for just a few minutes. It is interesting that the sunbeam does not penetrate through the entrance, but through a small hole that is located above the entrance.
These amazing places around the world show that our history was preceded by important events when someone unknown built these monuments. Now people only have to find out the real origin of these buildings.
But no less interesting are also places that no one has created, they are so amazing that they simply lead to extraordinary admiration.
Beautiful and unusual places of the Earth
There are many places on Earth where you can admire the beautiful bewitching nature. It is in these places that the most incomprehensible and most inexplicable things happen. Here are just a few examples of this.
Salar de Uyuni
Describing the most mysterious places on Earth, one cannot fail to mention the sky, which gives the impression of being upside down. We can say that this is a natural mirror, which reaches ten thousand square meters in area.
Bolivia has a desert that is completely different from all the deserts that only exist on Earth. What is its superiority and difference? This desert is unusual in that it has collected many salt marshes. Therefore, we can say that it is not sandy, but salty. Surprisingly, there are also active volcanoes here, cacti grow here and there are geysers. It is really huge in size. But when the rainy season comes, it becomes even more extraordinary than it was before. During the rains, here on a dry lake, water practically does not soak into the ground, but creates a giant mirror. Many, having been there, say that it seems that the sky has turned upside down.
The end of the world
One of the most unusual places on our planet is the sea, namely the junction of two seas - the Baltic and the North. This place is located in Denmark, near the city of Skagen. The locals called this place the end of the world, since the junction of these seas is so clearly visible that it seems that one world ends and another begins.
This miracle is explained by the fact that in the waters of these two seas there are two separate currents of different densities. Therefore, they do not mix, but create a separate border, which is clearly visible.
Forest with crooked trees
Even more mysterious and inexplicable is the forest, in which trees of an unusual shape grow. This forest is located in Poland. It did not grow on its own, but was planted before the Second World War in the thirties of the twentieth century.
This forest has about four hundred trees that have a bend in the trunk in one direction, it looks so synchronously and smoothly that it is simply amazing. It is difficult to find a sensible explanation for such an unimaginable growth of pines. We can say that this attraction in Poland is one of the most memorable, so the state carefully guards it. It also assigned the status of a reserve to the forest.
Sable Island
Considering the most mysterious places on the planet, it is important to mention the island, which is located in the Atlantic Ocean. Interestingly, its dimensions are 42 meters by one and a half meters. But not only this is mysterious and surprising. It is more strange that ships cannot sail normally near it. According to statistics, about seven hundred ships have already been shipwrecked.
This fact is explained by the fact that this island is located in a not very good place. Namely, at the intersection of two currents, cold and warm, Labrador and Gulf Stream. These two different currents create constant strong storms near the island, which are characterized by heavy fog and high waves. For this reason, many sailors are simply unable to see a low flat island, which is barely visible from under the water.
It is also interesting that this island has the ability to move. It has been observed that Sable in the ocean can move at a speed of two hundred meters a year. It is surprising that not a single island can move faster in the ocean, and the ocean floor itself moves only a few millimeters a year. Therefore, it is also considered inexplicable.
It is also worth noting that the reason for this movement is that the island is under pressure from two sides. On the one hand, it erodes the ocean, and on the other hand, the current brings sand. Because of this, the island also not only changes its position, but also its size, either growing or decreasing. It is because of this that ship captains cannot be 100% sure where exactly this island is located, as well as what size it is.
Video about the most mysterious places in the world
These are the most mysterious places in the world. It's very interesting to know what's going on. When you notice how beautiful and mysterious everything is, then unique feelings arise.
You can learn all the most unknown on Earth and get to know it better not only by reading about it on the Internet, but also by visiting it personally. It is by seeing everything with your own eyes and by touching it that you can get an unforgettable experience.
The twenty-first century is the time of digital electronics, new technologies and discoveries. Cures have been found for many previously incurable diseases. Skyscrapers have been built that change their shape. Space explored. However, there is still much unknown. For example, the Nazca lines in Peru or China, Stonehenge and Easter Island. Which one is the most mysterious place on the planet? No scientist can answer this question...
Around the world in search of the unknown
Mysterious places on earth. Where to look for them? It is enough to look around. In every corner of the planet you can find interesting and unusual natural phenomena. The question is: what do you want more - beauty that captivates the spirit, or is it still extreme adventures? Seekers of beauty should visit, for example, the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. A huge salt desert formed on the site of a dried-up lake. During the rainy season, when the salt is covered with a thin layer of water, it feels like a person is walking on water. The sky merges with the earth. All thoughts disappear overnight. This is the most incredible place on Earth!

Blue hole. This is an underwater cave, which is located on the coast of Belize among the coral reefs (Central America). It is a funnel 120 meters deep and 305 wide. The roof of the cave collapsed and was flooded when the sea level rose. The blue hole became known to the world after the telecasts of the explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau. It was he who became the discoverer of this amazing natural phenomenon. The underwater world of the cave is very diverse, which attracts divers. Feeling like you are in a cartoon about the mermaid Ariel.
And lakes are undoubtedly the most unusual places. There are many of these on the planet. And, of course, Lake Melissano in Greece deserves special attention. It is a cave and a lake at the same time. Pure as tears, waters, combined with virgin thickets and unusual stones - what could be more beautiful? The only thing missing is the fabulous nymphs and elves.
Attracts and fascinates the underground river Puerto Princesa in the Philippines. The world's largest underground river. Its length reaches eight kilometers. Puerto Princesa is considered one of the wonders of nature. The area around the underground reservoir, as well as the reservoir itself, has been declared a national park. You can get into the cave directly from the open sea, where the river flows into. Maybe this is the most mysterious place on Earth?
Attracts interest in the US. It is both a surface and underground reservoir. A very long time ago, the most severe of which, the Apaches, lived in the area around the lake. Here you can hear a lot of different legends and legends. They will not leave anyone indifferent. The lake and the area around it are considered a nature reserve.
If we talk about natural reservoirs, we should mention the Pamukkale basins in Turkey. A place that will leave its imprint in the memory of a tourist for a long time. The pools are large hills filled with natural healing waters. Millions of tourists visit the country just to see this most mysterious place on Earth. At any time of the day, the view from the pool is simply amazing. Many consider the Pamukkale pools to be the eighth wonder of the world.
Mysterious places of the planet
How many interesting and mysterious nature hides! It seems that life is not enough to go around the Earth and see everything with my own eyes. But, on the other hand, there would be time and desire. After all, nothing is impossible!
So, where are they - the mysterious places of the planet? Photos of natural curiosities can be found on the pages of various encyclopedias. It is enough to look through one of these books and decide on the route of travel. You should definitely see the Giant's Road in Ireland, Trolltunga in Norway, canyons in the USA, Spotted Lakes in Canada, and much, much more.
Road of the Giants. It is laid out on the coast of Ireland from stone columns. There are many legends and tales about her. The most common legend is that the road was built by a Finn to fight a sea monster. In fact, the trail was formed as a result of volcanic eruptions. The area where it is located is a nature reserve.
Antelope Canyon in the USA. America is rich in canyons, but the most amazing is the Antelope Canyon. In the photo, it looks like a human creation. After all, how can nature fashion such lines and shapes? Maybe! Winds and rain water for a long time carved and washed out the sand caves. It is difficult to name all the shades of the canyon. In the morning he is one, in the evening he is another. And the best play of colors is during the day, in sunlight. The canyon is located on the lands of the Navajo tribe. And to see the most mysterious place on Earth, you need to pay the Indians for crossing their land.
Spotted Lake in Canada. The shape of the lake resembles a honeycomb, each cell of which is filled with water of a different color. This is because the reservoir is saturated with various minerals, which color the water. In summer, the water evaporates, leaving useful minerals on the surface.
Stone forest in China. These are amazing stones resembling small mountains. At one time, there was a sea that washed away soft rocks, leaving stone trunks. The forest is located in Yunnan province and is very popular among tourists. It has narrow paths and passages along which it is better not to wander alone - you can get lost. There are similar formations in Russia on the banks of the Lena River (Yakutia).
Pyramids of Yoganuni in Japan. The world knows many pyramids, but the Japanese were discovered quite recently, only 20 years ago. The uniqueness of the buildings is that they are under water. According to scientists, is ten thousand years. There are no clear answers as to who and how built this artifact. However, terraces, trenches, various lines and inscriptions testify to some, perhaps still unknown, civilization that was flooded by the sea.
Tourists in love should definitely visit the Tunnel of Lovers. It is located in the Rivne region in Ukraine. The abandoned railway, it would seem, should have a frightening, mystical appearance. But with this tunnel, it's the other way around! In summer, the section of the railway is overgrown with greenery on all sides and takes the form of a tunnel. Many lovers and newlyweds rush here for a photo session. The tunnel is very similar to the path from the fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland". So you are waiting for the Cheshire Cat to appear...
A few horror stories. ghost towns
In addition to stunning and mysterious natural corners, our planet is full of creepy and unpleasant places that chill the soul with their mystical secrets. As they say, horror films "rest" in comparison. Thrill seekers - just right!
In the “most anomalous places” category, the first place can legally be given to Ukraine and its ghost town of Pripyat. The city is abandoned and abandoned after the world-famous tragedy at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Empty streets, playgrounds and lonely houses seem to be specially created as scenery for a creepy movie. Pripyat is the youngest ghost town. At the time of the disaster, he was only 16 years old. Now about 300 old-timers live there, who did not want to seek shelter in other cities.
There is a similar town in Russia - Kadychkan (Magadan). It has been leading its history since 1943, when deposits of high quality coal were discovered on the site of the future settlement. Since then, a small settlement has been founded. However, after the explosion of the mine in 1996, life in the city became impossible due to increased levels of radiation. People languished before their eyes. The evacuation has begun. Now only empty apartments and abandoned cars in the yards remind us that the city “was”…
Oradour-sur-Glan is a French village whose inhabitants were shot by the German invaders during the Second World War. In one day, 642 people were killed, of which almost 500 were women and children. The city itself was burned down. Not far from the site of the tragedy, a new city with the same name was built, and the old Oradour-sur-Glane was recognized as a historical monument.
There is also a ghost town in America - Detroit (Michigan). The previously prosperous city is now like a ghost: destroyed houses and schools inspire fear and horror. The strongest impression is made by the once largest railway station in the world. Detroit is a great location for filming mystical films. In abandoned churches, dolls are scattered everywhere, testifying to satanic rites.
Ghost towns are the most unusual places on the planet. They make you think about the consequences of human actions and reconsider your attitude to nature.
In Search of the Paranormal
When it comes to ghost towns, it is appropriate to mention individual buildings that are so frightening in their appearance. The paranormal places of the planet are not a game of directors' imagination, these are true stories that deserve attention.
Amityville. Someone will say: "It's just fiction!" But still a strange house actually exists! The town of Amityville is located near New York. The murder, which led to mysterious events, has not been solved to this day. Nobody knows what really happened there. However, after a terrible incident, when the eldest son killed his entire family, not a single tenant lingered in the house for a long time. People fled leaving their belongings.
The psychiatric clinic Lier Sikehus in Norway or a military hospital in Germany inspire the same horror. Buildings that have a dark past will be a godsend for fans of the paranormal. In the clinic, as well as in the hospital, the souls who died in agony and torment found their refuge.
Loneliness with notes of mysticism "smells" of the eighth workshop of the Dagdiesel plant (Russia). This is a Russian military station in the Caspian Sea. It is located three kilometers from the coast. The walls of a long-abandoned factory, like a cold iceberg, stand in the middle of the sea and frighten the marines with their monstrous appearance ...
Russia also has its own Silent Hill. A small abandoned town of dachas and children's camps is located in the Moscow region. And God forbid to become a witness of the satanic rites that are held there!
Roads of death
Our land is intertwined with roads and highways. There are good highways and not so good ones. And there are paths, staying on which inspires inexplicable fear.
For example, the most terrible road in the world! She claimed thousands of lives. The road passes high in the mountains and stretches for 70 km. On one side there are rocks dotted with crosses and monuments, and on the other side there is a cliff and an abyss. And although the construction of a safe path has begun, they still use this road. Eyewitnesses have repeatedly noticed strange white shadows flickering either in front or behind the car. Probably, the souls of the dead on this path, who cannot find rest in any way ...
An unusual road is located in the mountains of China. This is not just a track, but a road-tunnel. Periodically, the route seems to enter the mountain itself, where on the one hand there are rocks, and on the other - such windows over the abyss. They say that if the driver looks out that window, he will immediately fall down ...
There is a road of death in Russia too. This is the name of the Lyubertsy-Lytkarino highway. It is a narrow winding highway where drivers drive with the utmost care. Strange silhouettes were seen here by more than one traveler. Rumor has it that in these places there are ancient burials. Perhaps restless souls are looking for answers to their eternal questions. The whole road is strewn with monuments, crosses and flowers.
And by and large, all the roads of Russia in one way or another can be called the paths of death. Either the drivers are like that, or the highways, but the Russian Federation is among the first countries in road accidents.
Paranormal Russia
The whole Russian country is teeming with anomalies. There are a lot of different oddities in its very heart - in Moscow and the region. Anomalous places near Moscow are scattered mainly in small villages.
UFO seekers can hunt for unusual pictures in the settlements of Chasovnya, Protasovo, Ogudnevo, Nikolskoye and many others. The strongest geopathic node is located in the Chasovnya village. Strange sounds, shadows and flashes have been noticed more than once by local residents. Some were lucky enough to capture interesting footage on the camera, the authenticity of which was verified in Russia and the United States.
Lights are often recorded in the sky at 47 km of the Yaroslavl Highway, in particular, over the village of Sofrino. You can find out if this is true or not, only if you arm yourself with a camera and go on an extreme journey.
If we talk about Moscow itself, then almost every metro station hides some secrets. A lot of interesting and paranormal things are hidden by the underground stations Baumanskaya (Basurmansky crypts), Sukharevskaya (Sorcerer's Tower), Chistye Prudy (misers from Myasnitskaya). These are places that still keep the secrets of the past.
But the greatest horror inspires the residents of Moscow Beria's House on Malaya Nikitskaya Street (Metro Arbatskaya). They say that at night you can hear the sounds of an approaching car, followed by heavy male steps. It was Beria who returned home. And it's good if he is accompanied by a lady. But if the groans of the repressed are heard, then it is better to run from that place without looking back ...
What do the caves of Russia hide?
Caves are the most mysterious places on the planet, which have been of great interest to people since ancient times. There are different beliefs and legends about these natural creations.
For example, the Sablinsky caves in the Leningrad region took more than one human life. They prefer to remain silent about this place. You won't read about it in the paper or hear it on the radio. The secret zone is covered with mysteries that no one has yet been able to unravel. Previously, fugitives and prisoners hid in the caves. Probably, they could not find a way out of them, and now their souls are doomed to an eternal search.
Many horror stories are also connected with the Kashlukat cave, which is in the north of Russia. It is popularly known as the Black Devil Cave. It is not surprising, because its grottoes also have mystical names - Skeleton, Obscurantists ... On the walls of the cave you can see the ancient spells of shamans who have been performing their rituals here for a long time. It is said that those who managed to survive after going to the cave go crazy over time.
The most anomalous and mysterious places in Russia are enclosed in mountain ranges. One of these is the Dyatlov Pass. Many people learned about this place from the film of the same name. This is not just an invention of the director, this is a real mountain, and it is located in the north of the Urals. Back in 1959, a group of young tourists tried to conquer it. However, all members of the group died under mysterious circumstances. Rescuers looking for tourists found only a tent torn from the inside. What force forced people to leave the place of lodging for the night in severe frost? What scared the members of the group so much? There are still no clear answers to these questions. Locals consider this place cursed.
They don't talk about places like this...
“Unusual places on the planet, photos of which can be found on the pages of educational books, are just pictures,” everyone will say. And only those who have felt the cold of a mysterious cave or lake are unlikely to want to visit these corners again.
There are areas in Russia that it is better not to know about, and even more so not to go there. For example, the Devil's Cemetery, local residents prefer to bypass the tenth road. A mystical forest with an incomprehensible clearing is located near the village of Ust-Kov, Kezhemsky district, Krasnodar Territory.
According to the legend of the villagers, in 1908 a meteorite fell here, which formed in the ground. The hole closed up over time. But the land at this place is considered cursed. It looks like after a terrible fire, and there is nothing alive on it. Anyone who sets foot on the Devil's Cemetery will immediately die. Over the years of research, about a hundred people have disappeared here.
These are far from all the anomalous places in Russia. Many secrets are hidden in the water bodies of the country.
Ivachevskoe lake (Volgograd region). The reservoir captivates with its beauty and mystery. However, the picturesque area not only pacifies, but also catches up with a certain fear. Many noted that after resting on this lake, their health worsened. And residents of the city of Cherepovets, which is located next to the lake, say that more and more people are disappearing on this reservoir. Researchers of anomalies have not yet given clear answers. This is the most mysterious place on earth.
They also bypass the Yachenskoye reservoir (Kaluga region). In the people it is called the Thunder of the Lord. The reservoir attracts an electric charge. People who bathe in it die from lightning strikes. It is better not to visit these places. It is unlikely that anyone will enjoy such a vacation.
But the mortality of people in Lake Syurzi in the Arkhangelsk region is quite understandable. The reservoir is life-threatening due to increased radioactivity. The fish here float up belly up, and the fishermen disappear altogether. Those who managed to survive after such fishing recall the events with fear and do not always survive until the morning. The results of forensic medical examinations show that the cause of death of the fishermen was the effect of radiation.
These are far from all the anomalous places in Russia. The mystical city of Arkaim in the Chelyabinsk region is distinguished by its beauty and mystery. Where two rivers, Karaganka and Utyaganka, converge into one, and this amazing historical heritage is located. The city was discovered by archaeologists in 1987. It looks like rings, enclosed one in another. The settlement has four entrances - one for each side of the world. The surviving buildings of Arkaim testify to an ancient civilization. The city has amazing properties - it is able to heal many diseases. Those who have been here once will certainly return again. But Arkaim is not hospitable to everyone. On some, he catches up with fear and horror. Only a select few are allowed entry.
