The red lagoon, located in the Chilean city of Camina, at an altitude of 3700 meters above sea level, is called one of the most mysterious places on the globe.
The fact is that the water in the lake is as red as blood. The mystery of the disappearance of the Aymar Indian tribes, who once inhabited these lands, is associated with this reservoir, and the local population considers it cursed …
Until 2009, even travel companies did not know about the mysterious lake. This is due to the fact that the locals tried to bypass the Red Lagoon, and since time immemorial it has not even been put on maps. The pond is cursed, and it is deadly to approach it! - say superstitious Chileans.
It is said that the Indians of the Aymara tribe, once living on the shores of the lake, drank from its waters. As a result, thousands of aboriginals disappeared into the unknown.
There are two more reservoirs near the Red Lagoon, but the water in them is already yellow-green. They say that when bad people appear on the shore, the water in the lakes begins to bubble … And the locals are convinced that all three lakes with "colored" water belong to the devil himself.
The Bible contains a description of the "ten plagues of the Egyptians," which claimed many human lives. According to the biblical tradition, God, wanting to punish Pharaoh for not letting the Jews out of Egypt, ordered Moses to strike the water of the Nile with a rod. From this, the water in the river turned red as blood and began to emit a stench. Fish and other animals that lived in the Nile died, and locusts, mosquitoes and other insects multiplied on land. This was followed by an epidemic of pestilence and death of livestock.
Then a large hail came from the sky and for three days the whole earth was plunged into pitch darkness. And in the families of the Egyptians, children began to die … American researchers believe that we are talking about an environmental disaster that occurred in the 12th century BC, during the reign of Ramses II and his son Merenfatah.
The cause of all the disasters, in their opinion, was the microorganism Piesteria Pisicida, which, at certain periods of its development, ejects a toxic substance into the environment that turns the water red and poisons it. From the point of view of scientists, a harmful microbe unbalanced the Nile ecosystem.
The frogs dwelling in the water, fleeing from the poison, began to get out onto land, where they died from drought or were exterminated by the Egyptians. The death of midge-eating frogs has led to an increase in populations of mosquitoes and other insects, including the causative agents of African encephalitis in horses and sheep. This caused a pestilence of cattle … So the "Egyptian executions" have nothing to do with it!
The Red Lagoon is not the only "damned" body of water in the world. So, in the mountains of the Cordillera Azur there is a cold Lake Gaipo, in the area of which mysterious objects of various shapes are often observed - in the form of balls, ovals, rectangles, rings. Before the eyes of local residents, they either enter the water column, then hang over the surface of the lake, and then disappear into the sky … The
Quechua Indians living on the shores of Gaipo are not at all inclined to associate such phenomena with the visits of aliens. No, they are sure that it is witches and magicians who take the form of UFOs, going out to hunt for people! It is said that once an Indian near a lake was struck by a beam of a luminous object. The Indian could not budge until the UFO melted into thin air.
Another time an old woman, collecting brushwood, noticed a disc of fire over the lake, and suddenly felt a heat emanating from it. However, the worst thing is not the appearance of a UFO. According to rumors, several people on the lake were killed by lightning! And, of course, the natives attribute this to witchcraft! Lake John D. Long (North Carolina) is also considered "bewitched".
For example, in October 1994, a young woman named Susan Smith was accused of having killed her two young sons. Susan left Michael and Alex in the back seat of her car with their seatbelts fastened while she went about her business. The car fell into the lake and both boys drowned. Susan was sentenced to life imprisonment, although at the trial she tried to prove that the car was on the brake and could roll down only as a result of someone's malicious intent …
Local residents were so shocked by the tragedy that they erected monuments to the dead children on the pier. But two years later, the nightmare was repeated. The car, in which there were seven people - three adults and four children - suddenly
jumped off by itself, rolled between the monuments to Michael and Alex Smith and crashed into the lake … All the passengers drowned, and the man standing on the shore jumped into the water to save them, also choked to death. Well, how can you not believe in the machinations of the devil?
