The most mysterious places on the planet. Description of the mysterious and amazing places of the earth
There are many places in the world that attract and frighten with their mystery.
People disappear there, things fly there, ghosts appear there.
Scientists still cannot really understand these phenomena, sometimes explaining them as mass hallucinations, sometimes simply shrugging their shoulders. Let's talk below about the 10 most mystical places on the planet.
Arkaim.
This is a rather mysterious place. First of all, you need to be able to get here in the right way. According to beliefs in this mystical city, it is not enough just to buy a bus or train ticket. Here another aspect is much more important - will this place want to receive a guest? People come here not just attracted by an interest in antiquity. There are quite strange and unusual things going on here. So, you can spend the night on the top of the mountain, where it is quite cold and windy. At the same time, a thick sleeping bag will not be needed - all the same, a cold will not overcome. They say that all the diseases that sleep in the body and sometimes make themselves felt, come out in these places and never return to a person again. After visiting Arkaim, people literally begin to break down. The old life loses all meaning. The one who has been here begins to feel renewed, starting a lot with a clean slate. This ancient mystical city was found by Soviet archaeologists in 1987. It is located at the confluence of the Karaganka and Utyaganka rivers. This is in the Chelyabinsk region, south of Magnitogorsk. Among all the archaeological sites in Russia, this one is without a doubt the most mysterious. Once upon a time, the ancient Aryans built their fortress here. However, for some unknown reason, they left their home and left, finally burning it. It happened about 4 thousand years ago. But during this time the city practically did not collapse, another Aryan city, Sintashta, looks much worse. According to the plan, Arkaim looks like two rings of defensive structures inscribed one into the other. There are two circles of dwellings, a central square and, again, a circular street, in which the flooring was wooden, and there was even a storm sewer. Four entrances to Arkaim were oriented to the cardinal points. There is no doubt that the city was built according to a clear plan. After all, all the ring lines here have single center where all the radial lines converge. In addition, the city also has a clear orientation to the stars. The fact is that it was not only built, but also lived taking into account astrological aspects. Arkaim is often compared with Stonehenge, but it would be more appropriate to compare it with Tommaso Campanella's City of the Sun. This philosopher was fond of astrology and dreamed of creating a society that would live according to the laws of the cosmos. The City of the Sun invented by him was to be built in the form of a ring, taking into account astrological calculations. The culture of the found city existed 38-40 centuries ago. This is consistent with the theory of settlement on the planet of the ancient Aryans. The legends of those times say that the white race came to Europe from the mainland Arctida that sunk in the Arctic Ocean. Then the Aryans settled along the Volga and in the Urals, Northern Siberia. From there they crossed over to India and Persia. Thus, it is Russia that can be considered the cradle of two ancient world religions at once - Zoroastrianism and Hinduism. The Avesta and the Vedas came to Iran and India from us. As proof of this, one can cite the Avestan traditions, according to which the prophet Zarathustra was born somewhere in the foothills of the Urals.
Devil's Tower.
This place is located in the US state of Wyoming. In fact, this is not a tower at all, but a rock. It consists of stone pillars, which seem to be made of bundles. The mountain has the right shape. It was formed 200 million years ago. For a long time it seemed to an outside observer that this mountain was of artificial origin. But a man could not build it in any way, therefore, the devil created it. In terms of its size, the Devil's Tower exceeds the pyramid of Cheops by 2.5 times! It is not surprising that the local population has always treated this place with awe and even fear. In addition, there were rumors that mysterious lights often appeared at the very top of the mountain. A variety of science fiction films are often filmed at the Devil's Tower. The most famous of them is Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind. People climbed to the top of the mountain only twice. The first conqueror was a local resident in the 19th century, and the second was rock climber Jack Durrans in 1938. The plane cannot land there, and from the only platform suitable for helicopters, they are literally torn off by wind currents. The third conqueror of the summit set out to become an experienced skydiver George Hopkins. Although he was able to land successfully, but those ropes that were thrown to him from above deteriorated due to impact on sharp rocks. As a result, Hopkin became a real prisoner of the devil's rock. The news of this shook the whole country. Soon several dozen planes were already circling over the Tower, dropping equipment and food supplies for free. However, most of the parcels were broken on stones. Rats became another trouble for the skydiver. It turned out that there are quite a lot of them on the top of a smooth rock, impregnable from below. Every night the rodents became more aggressive and bolder. In the United States, a special committent was even created to save Hopkins. An experienced climber Ernst Field, along with his assistant, was called to help him. But already after 3 hours of climbing, the climbers were forced to abandon further rescue. Field said that this damn rock was simply too tough for them. This is how it turned out that the professionals conquering the eight-thousanders turned out to be powerless in front of a rock 390 meters high. The same Jack Durrans was found through the press. Two days later he was in place and decided to conquer the summit along the route known only to him. The climbers led by him were able to reach the summit and lower the unfortunate parachutist from there. The Devil's Tower held him captive for a whole week.
White Gods.
In the north-east of the Moscow region there is a place called White Gods. It is located in the tract near the village of Vozdvizhenskoye, Sergiev-Posad district. It is worth going deep into the dense forest, as the correct stone hemisphere will appear before your eyes. Its diameter is 6 meters and its height is 3 meters. This place was mentioned in his notes by the famous traveler and geographer Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky. Legends say that there was a pagan altar here in the XII-XIII centuries. His layout was somewhat similar to the English Stonehenge. There, by the way, according to some sources, sacrifices were also made to the gods. In the pantheon of the ancient gods, good was personified by Belbog. His idol was installed by the Magi on a hill, people prayed to him for protection from Chernobog - the personification of evil. The father of these two gods was Svantevit, the god of gods. All together they constituted the Triglav, or triune deity. Such was the image of the pagan system of the universe among the Slavs. Our ancient ancestors did not build their settlements anywhere. It was necessary to meet a number of conditions for this. Usually the Slavs tried to build near river bends so that groundwater, ring structures and geological faults were present. This is evidenced by images from space, as well as an analysis of the location of old settlements, churches and monasteries, as well as stories that mystical properties of nature are manifested in such places.
Hatteras.
There are many mysterious and mystical substances in the Atlantic. One of them is Cape Hatteras. It is also called the South Atlantic Cemetery. The East Coast of the United States is generally quite dangerous for shipping. There are islands here called the Outer Banks or the Dunes of Virginia Dare. They are constantly changing their shape and size. This creates a difficulty for navigation even in weather with excellent visibility. In addition, there are often storms, fogs and swells. The local "southern fog" and the "soaring Gulf Stream" make navigation in these waters quite stressful and even deadly. Forecasters say that during a "normal" 8-point storm, the wave height here is as much as 13 meters. The Gulf Stream near the cape flows at a speed of about 70 kilometers per day. 12 miles from the cape are two-meter shoals of Diamond. There the famous current collides with the North Atlantic. This leads to a very amazing phenomenon observed only in these places. During a storm, waves collide with a roar, and sand, shells and sea foam fly up in fountains to a height of 30 meters. Few managed to see such a spectacle live and then get out of there. The cape has many victims. One of the most famous is the American ship "Mormakkait". She sank here on October 7, 1954. Another well-known incident occurred with the Diamond Shoal lightship. It was tightly tied to the bottom with anchors, but strong storms pulled it out every time. As a result, the lighthouse turned out to be thrown over the dunes into Pamlico Bay. In 1942, in the end, he was shot from his guns by a Nazi submarine that unexpectedly surfaced here. In general, sandbanks during World War II became a favorite place for German submarines. There, divers bathed, lit up and even arranged sports events. And all this is under the very noses of the Americans. After resting, the Germans got into their boats and continued to hunt for Allied transports. As a result, in this area from January 1942 to 1945, 31 tankers, 42 transports, 2 passenger ships were sunk. The number of small vessels is generally difficult to calculate. The Germans themselves lost only 3 submarines here, all of them in April-June 1942. The terrible cape at that time became an ally for the Nazis. Those natural factors that interfered with American ships only helped submarines. True, shallow depths posed a danger to the Germans too.
Czech catacombs.
In the city of Jihlava, in the Czech South Moravia, there are catacombs. These underground structures were created by man. This place has a mystical notoriety. The passages were dug here in the Middle Ages. They say that in one of the corridors at exactly midnight they begin to hear the sounds of the organ. Ghosts have been repeatedly met in the catacombs, and other supernatural phenomena have happened here. Scientists at the beginning rejected all these mystical occurrences as unscientific. However, over time, even they were forced to pay attention to the increasing evidence of something wrong going on underground. In 1996, a special archaeological expedition arrived in Jihlava. She made an interesting conclusion - the local catacombs hide such secrets that science simply cannot unravel. Scientists have recorded that in the place referred to in the legends, the sounds of the organ are indeed heard. At the same time, the underground passage is located at a depth of 10 meters; there is not a single room near it that could accommodate this musical instrument in principle. So there can be no talk of random errors. Eyewitnesses were examined by psychologists who said there were no signs of a mass hallucination. But the main sensation told by archaeologists was the existence of a "glowing staircase". She was found in one of the hitherto little-known underground passages. Even the old-timers did not know that he existed at all. Samples of the material showed that there is no phosphorus in it. Witnesses say that the staircase does not stand out at first glance. However, over time, it begins to emit a mystical reddish-orange light. Even if you turn off the flashlight, the glow will still remain, and its intensity will not decrease.
Coral castle.
This complex includes huge statues and megaliths, whose total weight exceeds 1100 tons. They are folded here by hand, without the use of any machines. The castle is located in California. The complex has a square tower with two floors. She alone weighs 243 tons. There are also various buildings here, thick walls, a spiral staircase leads to the underground pool. There is also a map of Florida made of stones, hewn stones, a table created in the form of a heart, an accurate sundial, and stone Saturn and Mars. The moon, weighing 30 tons, with its horn points directly at polar star. As a result, a lot of interesting objects were placed on an area of 40 hectares. The author and creator of such an object was Edward Lidskalninsh, a Latvian emigrant. Perhaps his unrequited love for 16-year-old Agnes Skaffs pushed him to create the castle. The architect himself came to Florida in 1920. The mild climate of this place extended his life, because she was in danger due to progressive tuberculosis. Edward was a small man with a height of 152 centimeters and a weight of 45 kilograms. Although outwardly he seemed frail, he built his castle for 20 years alone. To do this, he dragged huge blocks of coral limestone here from the coast, and then created blocks from it. At the same time, he did not even have a jackhammer; the Latvian created all his tools from discarded car parts. It is rather difficult to understand now how the construction itself took place. It is not known how Edward moved and lifted multi-ton blocks in general. The fact is that the builder was also very secretive, preferring to work at night. The gloomy Edward let the guests into the places of his work extremely reluctantly. As soon as an unwanted guest got here, the host grew up behind him and stood there silently until the visitor left. One day, an active lawyer from Louisiana decided to build a Villa in the neighborhood. In response to this, Edward simply moved his entire brainchild 10 miles south. How he did it is a mystery. It is known that the builder hired a large truck for this. The car was seen by many witnesses. At the same time, no one saw how Edward himself or the builder loaded something there or unloaded it back. To the astonished questions about how he managed to transport his castle, he answered: "I discovered the secret of the pyramid builders!" In 1952, Lidskalninsh died unexpectedly, but not at all from tuberculosis, but from stomach cancer. After the death of the Latvian, parts of the diaries were found, which speak of the magnetism of the Earth and the control of flows space energy. However, nothing was explained there. A few years after Edward's death, the American Society of Engineering decided to conduct an experiment. To do this, the most powerful bulldozer tried to budge one of the stone blocks that Edward did not have time to install. The car was unable to do so. As a result, the mystery of this entire structure and its movement remained unsolved.
Kyzylkum.
Between the Syrdarya and Amudarya rivers Central Asia there are a number of anomalous areas that have not yet been explored. So, in the central part of Kyzylkum, in its mountains, strange rock paintings were found. There you can clearly see people in spacesuits and something very reminiscent of spaceships. In these places, UFOs are also often observed. Famous case happened in November 1990. Then the employees of the Zarafshan cooperative "Ldinka", traveling at night along the Navoi-Zarafshan road, saw a long forty-meter cylindrical object in the sky. A strong, focused, well-defined cone-shaped beam descended from it to the ground. An expedition of ufologists found an interesting woman with supernatural powers in Zarafshan. She stated that she was constantly in contact with representatives of an alien civilization. In the spring of 1990, she received information that an unearthly flying object was destroyed in near-Earth orbit, and its remnants fell 30-40 kilometers from the city. Only half a year has passed and in September two local geologists, breaking up drilling profiles, stumbled upon spots of unknown origin. Their analysis showed that they cannot have an earthly origin. However, this information was immediately classified and no one has ever officially confirmed it.
Loch Ness.
This Scottish lake has long attracted all lovers of mysticism and mysteries. The reservoir is located in the north of Great Britain, in Scotland. The area of Loch Ness is 56 km², its length is 37 kilometers. The maximum depth of the lake is 230 meters. The lake is part of the Caledonian Canal, which connects the western and eastern coasts of Scotland. The glory of this lake was brought by the mysterious large animal Nessie, supposedly living in it. Outwardly, it is very similar to a fossil lizard. Scientists have calculated that since the creation of the road on the shore of the lake in 1933, more than 4 thousand evidence of the appearance of monsters from the waters of the lake has been recorded. It was first seen in the 20th century by the McKays, owners of a local hotel. However, there are not only documented eyewitness accounts, science also has dozens of photographs, albeit fuzzy, there are underwater records and even echo sounder records. On them you can see in whole or in part one or more lizards with a long neck. Proponents of the existence of the monster cite a film shot in 1966 by British aviation officer Tim Dinsdale to prove their theory. There you can see how a huge animal swims in the water. Military experts only confirmed that the object moving through Loch Ness cannot be an artificial model. It is a living being moving at a speed of about 16 km/h. It is also believed that the region of the lake itself is a large anomalous zone. After all, UFOs were often observed here, the most famous evidence dates back to 1971, when alien "irons" flew here. Explorers do not leave the lake alone. So, in the summer of 1992, the entire Loch Ness was carefully scanned using sonar. The results were sensational. Wards of Dr. McAndrews said that at least several unusually huge living creatures were found underwater. It could have been dinosaurs that somehow survived to this day. The lake was also photographed with the help of laser equipment. The researchers said that the lizard living in the waters is unusually smart. Even a submarine was used to search for the monster. In 1969, the "Peasies" submersible, equipped with a sonar, descended into the water. Later, the Viperfish boat continued the search, and since 1995, the Time Machine submarine began to take part in the research. An important study in February 1997 was conducted by the military, led by Officer Edwards. They patrolled the water surface and used deep-sea sonars. A deep crevice was found at the bottom of the lake. It turned out that the cave has a width of 9 meters, and its maximum depth can reach 250 meters! Researchers want to find out further if this cave is part of an underwater tunnel connecting the lake to other bodies of water in the neighborhood. To find out, they are going to launch a whole batch of non-toxic dyes into the hole. Some of its particles will then be looked for in other reservoirs. The lake can be reached from London by train and from Inverness by bus or car. A whole extensive tourist infrastructure has been created around Loch Ness. There are many hotels and hotels here. You can even pitch a tent, but not on private land. In summer, the lake warms up enough to swim in it. But only Russian tourists dare to do this, which the locals simply take for crazy.
Prayer Triangle.
There is a geoanomalous zone between the Sverdlovsk and Perm regions on the banks of the Sylva. This triangle is opposite the village of Molebki. This strange place was discovered by a geologist from Perm, Emil Bachurin. He found in the winter of 1983 in the snow an unusual round track with a diameter of 62 meters. Returning here in the fall of the following year, he saw a hemisphere glowing in blue in the forest. Further study of this place showed that there is a strong dowsing anomaly. Large black figures, luminous balls and other bodies were observed in the triangle. At the same time, these objects demonstrated reasonable behavior. They lined up in clear geometric shapes, watched the people exploring them, flew away when people approached them. In September 1999, another expedition of the Kosmopoisk group came here. They repeatedly heard extraneous sounds here. Researchers mention that they heard a running motor. There was a feeling that a car was about to roll out of the forest into the clearing, but it itself never appeared. And no trace of her was ever found. The Moleb triangle is generally quite famous among tourists and ufologists. In the early 90s, so many curious people began to come here that it became simply impossible to do any research here. The press began to mention more and more often that the Perm anomalous zone ceased to exist under the massive influence of people. That is why in recent years, interest in the mysterious triangle has declined markedly.
Chavinda.
This unusual place is located in Mexico. In Chavinda, according to the beliefs of local residents, there is a "crossing of the worlds." Therefore, no one is surprised that anomalous and mystical incidents occur more often in this area than in other places. In the 1990s, a sensational incident occurred here. Eyewitnesses say that it was a cloudless moonlit night. You didn't even need a flashlight to see what was going on around you. The treasure hunters suddenly heard a rider approaching them. He was in national costume. The rider told the frightened Mexicans that he saw them from the top of a distant mountain and rode here in 5 minutes. It was physically impossible! The treasure hunters abandoned their tools and fled in panic. When they came to their senses, they naturally doubted what they saw. The Mexicans soon began to search again. But it turned out that this was only the beginning! Their new cars began to break down, and within just one day they turned into old wrecks. No repair could stop this process. One of the cars was even no longer seen on the road by other drivers. Once she was even rammed by a truck, the driver of which watched in amazement as it crashed into an "invisible" car. Such mystical troubles continued until the Mexicans, who had not believed in anything before, were forced to give themselves a word that they would refuse to search for this treasure.
In today's issue - Machu Picchu, the Russian Champ Island, the mysterious forest of Heizhu and much more.
Goseck circle, Germany
Gozeksky circle are called concentric ditches with a diameter of 75 meters and log circles with gates. Through them, on the days of the summer and winter solstices, the sun enters the circle. This gave rise to the theory that this Neolithic structure is the oldest observatory in the world. Presumably it was built in 4900 BC. e. It seems that the creators of the ancient "celestial calendar" had a good knowledge of astronomy. It is noteworthy that there are similar prehistoric structures not only near Gosek, but also in other places in Germany, as well as in Austria and Croatia.Machu Picchu, Peru At the top of a mountain range, at an altitude of 2,450 m, among the clouds above the valley of the Urubamba River, the ancient “lost city of the Incas” rises majestically. Machu Picchu was built in the 15th century, but in 1532 the palaces, altars and houses were abandoned. Where are the inhabitants? According to historians, the elite of the Inca Empire lived in Machu Picchu, and with the fall of the empire, the inhabitants simply left in search of a better life. According to popular belief, most of the population was sacrificed to the gods for the sake of saving the empire, and the rest dispersed through the valley. But there is no definite answer. 
Thor's Well, USA
A natural funnel with a diameter of 5 meters in the strait of Cape Perpetua was named after the god Thor. But more often it is called "the gate to the underworld." The spectacle is really hellishly beautiful: at high tide, water quickly fills the well, and then abruptly “shoots” upwards with a six-meter fountain, forming a whirlwind of spray. As if a monster lives at the bottom, which is angry with the streams of water pouring on it and pushes them back. But it has not yet been possible to find out what is actually inside the funnel - diving there is too dangerous.
Moeraki boulders, New Zealand
Huge stone balls with a diameter of up to two meters are “scattered” along the Koekohe beach, which is not far from the village of Moeraki. The surface of some of them is absolutely smooth, while others resemble a tortoise shell. Some boulders are intact, while others are broken into pieces. Where they came from is a mystery of nature. According to the Maori folk version, this is a potato that woke up from a mythical canoe. There are also opinions that these are fossilized dinosaur eggs and the remains of alien aircraft. Scientists believe that these are geological formations that formed at the bottom of the ocean millions of years ago.
Champ Island, Russia
Another place with mysterious stone balls is Champ Island, located in the central part of Franz Josef Land (Arkhangelsk region). The entire coast is literally strewn with spherical stones ranging in size from a few centimeters to three meters. Where did they come from on a deserted island? It is believed that due to the melting of glaciers, the stones fell into natural pools and were ground down by water. But why only on this island? Among the supernatural versions are the intervention of aliens and the fact that the stones are artifacts of some lost civilization.
Golden stone, Myanmar
On the edge of the ledge of the Chaittiyo rock lies a granite boulder 5.5 meters high and about 25 meters in girth. The boulder has been balancing on the edge of the abyss for several centuries and, contrary to the laws of physics, does not fall. According to legend, the Buddha gave a hermit monk a lock of his hair. To save the relic, he placed it under a huge stone, hoisted on a rock by Burmese spirits. The stone is covered with gold leaf and is one of the main Buddhist shrines. It has not yet been possible to find a scientific justification for the phenomenon of the Chaittiyo pagoda. And is it necessary?
Beelitz-Heilstetten, Germany
40 km from Berlin there is a sanatorium, which was once considered the best in Germany. At first it was a hospital for tuberculosis patients, and then a military hospital. In 1916, a young soldier, Adolf Hitler, “licked his wounds” there. After World War II, the hospital was taken over by Soviet power. Now a lot of horror stories are connected with the sanatorium of the city of Belits. Allegedly, strange sounds are heard there, and letters from soldiers are still found in the walls of the building. Speculation and nothing more? Probably. But visitors say: the longer you stay there, the more tired and depressed you feel.
Mystery Spot, USA
"Mystery Spot" is translated from English as "Mysterious Place". In the middle of the twentieth century, businessman George Prater decided to build a house. He chose a place on a hillside, bought land, but could not build a building. The house came out crooked, although the drawings were correct, and the builders are sober. It turned out that the laws of physics were violated on the hill: balls roll up an inclined plane, a broom stands without support, water flows up, people stand in an inclined position. Scientists say that these are nothing more than optical illusions, but many tend to see in what is happening is a mystical trace.
Pyramid of Cheops, Egypt
The largest and most mysterious of the great Egyptian pyramids, located on the Giza plateau. Its height is 138.8 meters (due to the current lack of facing), the length of the base is 230 meters. Built in the 26th century BC. e. The construction of the pyramid lasted more than 20 years, colossal resources were involved: 2.5 million multi-ton limestone blocks, tens of thousands of slaves. It would seem that the pyramid of Cheops has already been studied up and down, but disputes among scientists do not subside. How was the construction going? How was this gigantic structure used? There are still more questions than answers.
Newgrange, Ireland
An ancient stone structure is located 40 km north of Dublin. It is older than the Egyptian pyramids by 700 years. According to legend, Newgrange is the home of the Celtic god of wisdom and the sun, Dagda. According to archaeologists, this place served as a tomb. There is also a version that this is one of the first observatories: during the winter solstice, the morning rays of the sun penetrate the hole above the entrance and illuminate the room from the inside. But researchers still have more questions than answers: where did they come from and what do the inscriptions on the stones mean, how did the builders achieve such accuracy, what tools did they use?
Heizhu, China
In the south of China, there is one of the most powerful anomalous zones in the world - the Heizhu Valley, which means "Black Bamboo Hollow". Here, under mysterious circumstances, accidents happen and people disappear in thick fog. No one can find an objective reason for what is happening. Some believe that plants that emit toxic substances grow and rot in the forest. Others believe that the cause of strange events in the strongest geomagnetic radiation. Mystics say that in the valley there is a portal to a parallel world.
Mysticism is extremely attractive to a person, like everything unusual that generates curiosity. There are many mystical places on our beautiful planet, scientists study them, but often they cannot explain the phenomena occurring in these territories. What is the most mystical place on Earth is the most mysterious?
We will not rank the most mystical places on the planet, since each of them is unique in its own way, and what is happening there is inexplicable from the point of view of earthly laws.
Nazca Plateau
Almost 500 km² of the Peruvian Nazca Plateau is covered with mysterious lines (geoglyphs). Images geometric shapes, insects, animals and people - grooves 30 cm deep in a sand and pebble pound. Who made such huge images that can only be seen from a considerable height? What was the purpose of creating a complex of huge drawings? Why haven't the images been destroyed in 2000 years? There are no reliable answers to these questions yet.
Sinister valleys of death
Several terrestrial territories are rightfully considered the most mystical places in the world, they are called the valleys of death.
Iluyu Cherkechekh
The Yakut Death Valley is located on the Vilyui lowland. In hard-to-reach places there are large metal objects dug into the ground. The hunters who stayed overnight in warm metal chambers fell ill and soon died. The symptoms of the disease are strangely similar to those of severe radiation exposure. Locals are sure that iron fell from the sky, and once a century a huge pillar of fire bursts out of the ground, burning everything for 100 m in a radius.
Peruvian Death Valley
In the west of the Andes in Peru there is a gorge where those who visited at night fell ill with a severe form of anemia and quickly died. Those who visited the valley during the day remained healthy and unharmed.
Pyrenean Valley of Death
In the very center of the valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides, there is the purest lake Alet. But even the birds do not fly here. People go missing from time to time. Those of them who have returned look strangely aged and not quite sane.
There are mysteriously terrible Valleys of Death in China - the Hollow of Black Bamboo, and in Canada - the Valley of the Headless, and in Russia - the Dyatlov Pass.
Sable Island
Located in the Western Hemisphere, a small nomadic island is called the "ship eater". Due to the peculiarities of the local current, thousands of ships found their last refuge in this terrible place. Huge sea ships were sucked into the island sand in just a couple of months. There is an assumption that the island is a living substance of a silicon nature.
Bermuda Triangle
The section of the Atlantic Ocean in the Western Hemisphere is associated with numerous reports of the disappearance of ships and aircraft without a trace, the appearance of ships abandoned by the crew, unusual temporal, light and spatial phenomena. There are many hypotheses about what is happening in the Bermuda Triangle: some claim that the inhabitants of Atlantis found their refuge in this place at the bottom of the ocean, others believe that there is an alien base here, and still others believe that this territory is a portal to other dimensions.
Easter Island
Stone giants were created between 1250 and 1500 AD. How the islanders could carve the monolithic statues, and most importantly, how the multi-ton figures were transported from the place where the rock was mined, cannot be explained.
Pyramids of Yonaguni
Massive platforms and stone pillars lie at a depth of up to 40 m near the Japanese island of Ryuku. Some try to dispute the man-made origin of the complex, but most scientists rightly believe that nature cannot create so many right angles, regular square shapes.
Devil's Tower
Exceeding 2.5 times the size of the pyramid of Cheops, the Devil's Tower is located in the US state of Wyoming. The local population claims that mysterious lights are sometimes visible on the top of the mountain. People can't get to the mysterious object!
City of Jihlava
The most mystical city in the world is Jihlava in the Czech Republic. In the catacombs made by people in the Middle Ages, ghosts are found and the sounds of the organ are clearly audible. A special archaeological expedition in 1996 did not find a single room in the underground passage that could accommodate a bulky instrument, but confirmed the reality of the existence of organ sounds. In addition, a luminous staircase was found in the catacombs, the nature of the glow of which scientists could not explain.
In addition to the mystical, there are others on the planet - and the most, where all lovers rush.
Despite the fact that abandoned cities and creepy corners of the earth terrify impressionable tourists, hundreds of travelers constantly come to these most terrible places on the planet in search of thrills.
Prague cemetery
One of such terrible places in the world is the Prague cemetery with 12 thousand ancient tombstones, which operated in the Czech Republic for four centuries. Unknown travelers found their last refuge in this cemetery, but most often, luxurious processions buried wealthy citizens. The territory of the cemetery is small, but 100 thousand dead are buried here. It is noteworthy that older burials were sprinkled with earth, then new dead were buried on top of them. Thus, about 12 tiers were formed: now travelers can observe a terrible picture - the sagging earth has exposed several upper "floors" with coffins and gravestones.
St. George's Church
St. George's Church is also located in the Czech Republic, in one of the tiny villages: tourists go to an abandoned temple, attracted by the unusual legend of the place. Sometime during the next funeral service, the roof over the church collapsed. Once a holy place, the Czech artist Hadrava decorated with numerous ominous ghost sculptures.
Mexican island of abandoned dolls
The Mexican island of abandoned dolls attracts adrenaline lovers with the exoticism of forgotten toys. In the middle of the last century, a hermit who settled here began to collect and “settle” dolls thrown into the garbage around the island. About a thousand broken and mutilated toys are tied to trees - many dolls sit on the ground or hang on branches: this is how the hermit decided to perpetuate the memory of a girl who drowned in the bay.
Chapel of Bones
The next terrible place in the world is also impressive - the chapel of bones, built many centuries ago by a Franciscan monk in one of the cities of Portugal. The small chapel contains the remains of five thousand monks. The roof and walls of the tomb are decorated with intricate inscriptions in Latin.
Paris catacombs
The world-famous Parisian catacombs are a winding system of underground tunnels with extensive caves and descents. A network of communications stretching up to 300 kilometers lies near Paris: more than 6 million people have found their shelter here.
Japanese Hashima Island
The Japanese island of Hashima is also considered the most mystical place in the world. This abandoned mining town once provided the country with coal: quarries and a mine were operating at the end of the 19th century. They came here in the hope of making money: the miners densely populated the island with their families. Almost 40 years ago, the enterprise became unprofitable, coal mines were closed. Now this island has become a popular ghost town with tourists.
Suicide Forest
Jukai, the famous Suicide Forest, is located on one of the Japanese islands and went down in history as a bad place where thousands of people took their own lives. The forest initially had a bad reputation thanks to ancient legends about ghosts, and since the middle of the last century, suicides have frequented these creepy thickets. Having delved several hundred meters into the forest, along the paths you can find things - shoes, clothes, bags of the departed. Knowing how attractive the place is for people with a weak psyche, the authorities put up a warning poster with a helpline number.
Burials of fire mummies of Kabayan
Among the most mystical places in the world are also called the burial places of the fire mummies of Cabayan in the Philippines. These remains are more than seven centuries old: locals believe that the spirits of the mummified dead still live near the burials. A feature of local customs is that mummies were buried in small capsules-coffins made of wood, laying the bodies of the dead in them in the most uncomfortable poses.

Mental hospital
In the ranking of the scariest places in the world, tourists are attracted by the old psychiatric hospital in the city of Parma: it was once one of the most successful clinics in Italy, but over time the building fell into disrepair. A masterpiece from the object was made by an artist from Brazil, who painted the walls of the clinic with the silhouettes of patients. Ghostly figures adorn the building, conveying to rare visitors the eerie atmosphere of an abandoned Italian hospital.
Plague Island
Italy has another terrifying attraction - Plague Island in the Venetian lagoon. Since ancient times, this place has been adapted for the residence of the sick, who were exiled here from all over the country. More than 16 thousand plague victims are buried here, but the locals believe that their souls have not calmed down and still hover over the graves. The gloomy reputation of the island is also supported by legends, according to which terrible experiments were performed on the sick.
City of Centralia
Connoisseurs of the horror genre and realistic computer games they go to the American city of Centralia for special impressions: it was here that the famous horror film “Silent Hill” was filmed. This town in Pennsylvania is famous for the fact that due to the extensive fire, the population almost left these territories. The underground fire has not yet been extinguished: the atmosphere of hopelessness is emphasized by ash particles in the air above empty streets with destroyed houses.
Mountain of Crosses
The most mystical places in the world in the last century were replenished with a new attraction - the Hill of Crosses with ancient Lithuanian crosses is a creepy-looking hill that is not a cemetery at all. According to numerous legends, everyone who sets up a cross here will get good luck and change their fate for the better.
Cave in Belize
A cave in Belize attracts tourists with a strange atmosphere of the cult of the ancient Mayans.

Chauchilla Cemetery
The Peruvian ancient cemetery of Chauchilla was also on the list of the most terrible places on the planet. Landmark of the country is located near the Nazca plateau, known to ufologists. The necropolis was discovered by scientists about a century ago. The method of burial attracted the attention of archaeologists: the dead were seated in graves, covering their bodies with a special composition. Thanks to ancient recipes, the dead are perfectly preserved: this was also facilitated by the dry climate of the Peruvian desert.
snake island
In Brazil, Snake Island is considered the most terrible place: the territory is famous for the presence of a huge number of snakes - here, on every square meter of forest land, you can find up to six dangerous and poisonous reptiles. Now tourists are forbidden to visit Queimada Grande because of the risk of being attacked by huge poisonous reptiles.
Triangle of Molebs
The Moleb Triangle was included in the rating of the most terrible places in Russia: it is a remote village Perm Territory, in which anomalous UFO activity was noticed. Previously, Mansi lived here, who made sacrifices to their gods on a stone plateau.
Russia also has its own exotic City of the Dead: the small Ossetian village of Dargavs is famous for its richly decorated family crypts.
Overtown Bridge
One of Scotland's bridges, Overtown, has become infamous for unexplained dog suicides. Dozens of dogs threw themselves down onto the rocks and died, and the survivors went upstairs to try again.
Hanging coffins of Sagada
The list of the most terrible places on the planet would be incomplete without the hanging coffins of Sagada - original burial structures were arranged in the forest of one of the villages in the Philippines. The locals bury the dead by hanging them up so that the souls of the departed ancestors are closer to heaven.
Sanctuary of Tophet

The grandiose construction project, the unfinished subway in Cincinnati, strikes with the atmosphere of abandonment. The depot was built at the end of the 19th century, but the line was frozen for economic reasons. Now you can get to the depot several times a year, although diggers from all over the world often visit the unfinished subway on their own.
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 things happen, and there are amazing creatures, which impress not only ordinary tourists, but also those who met with 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 scholars suggest that this monument was at first an ordinary rock, but then people transformed it, and subsequently it acquired such appearance which 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.
