Since ancient times, man has tried to explain the many miracles that occur on our planet. Currently, most of them are explained scientifically. Nevertheless, there are still mystical phenomena that are difficult to believe. We will tell you about 12 secrets created by nature or people.
1. Bimini Road
In the 1930s, American psychiatrist Edgar Cayce claimed that around 1968-1969 scientists would find the ruins of the lost city of Atlantis in Bimini. In September 1968, 700 meters of neatly spaced limestone blocks were discovered in the sea near Paradise Point in northern Bimini. The chain of these blocks is called Bimini Road.
Some scientists say that these are the remains of a famous civilization. Others believe that the blocks are the result of deepening of the seabed.
2. The dance plague
Promotional video:
In July 1518 Mrs. Trophy began to dance and could not stop. A week later, 34 more people danced with her. A month later, the total number of dancers reached several hundred. They danced nonstop, causing 400 deaths from exhaustion, heart attacks and strokes. A satisfactory scientific explanation has never been found for this phenomenon. Neither theory explains the incredible stamina required to dance for days without stopping.
3. Andrew Karlsin
In 2003, the FBI arrested a man accused of stock exchange fraud. With just $ 800, he made $ 350 million by making 126 deals.
Andrew admitted that he received the information necessary for transactions from the future. According to him, he arrived from 2256 in a time machine. He later received a $ 1 million bond and suddenly disappeared.
4. Boiling river
As a child, Andres Ruzo often heard from his grandfather a legend about the river, which literally "boiled" its enemies. He dreamed of discovering this river.
As he grew older and trained as a geologist, in 2011 Andres, along with a local shaman who was his guide, discovered a river whose temperature reached 86 ° C. This, of course, is not the only water body on the planet with a high temperature, but in all cases, heat sources are nearby. But the river is located 700 km from the nearest volcano.
5. Underwater ruins of Yonaguni
In 1986, terraced formations were discovered near Yonaguni Island (Japan). The subsea strata are found in large clusters, the height of which is the same as that of a 5-storey building. Divers managed to find artifacts proving that people lived in these places. Despite this, scientists are still debating the origin of these terraces. If we assume that these formations are anthropogenic, they must belong to preglacial civilizations.
6. Photo from the Bralorn Museum
This photo was taken in Canada in 1941. In the crowd, you can see a man whose clothes are radically different from the fashion of the 1940s. He wears a zip-up hoodie and logo T-shirt in a modern style. In addition, the guy is holding a portable camera. Some people believe this photo proves the ability to travel in time.
7. Geoglyphs of the Amazon rainforest
While studying the open landscape of the Amazon rainforest, scientists have noticed numerous drawings carved into the ground - geoglyphs. Experts have discovered 450 geoglyphs in northern Brazil and Bolivia. They first appeared here 3000-3500 years ago. One of the main theories is that these constructions were intended for general meetings, discussions and rituals.
8. Lights during an earthquake
The bright lights that occur during an earthquake are considered one of the most mysterious phenomena. It has been proven that since 1600, during seismic activity, 65 auroras have been observed in the sky. However, the likelihood that you will be able to witness this phenomenon is very low. Lights during earthquakes can only be seen 0.5% of the time. Many theories have been created to explain this phenomenon, but none of them come close to the truth.
9. The frozen girl
On December 20, 1980, Jean Hilliard was driving to her parents' home through snowy Lengby, Minnesota. Suddenly, her car stalled, and the girl decided to go to the house of her friends who lived nearby. Due to hypothermia, Jin lost consciousness and spent 6 hours in the snow until she was found. The air temperature was -22 ° C.
When Jean was taken to the hospital, her skin was so frozen that the doctors could not even give injections. Everyone was convinced that Jean was dead. However, after some time after being warm, the doctors noticed a slight movement of her body. After 3 days, she was able to move her legs, and after 6 weeks she was considered completely healthy.
10. The ghost ship "Carroll A. Deering"
The Carroll A. Deering is a US commercial schooner that has become a famous ghost ship. The schooner ran aground and was found in 1921, but there was no crew on board. There was plenty of food in the galley, but the logbook, personal belongings, anchor and navigation devices were missing, and the steering gear was broken. At the end of 1922, the investigation into the disappearance of the crew was stopped, but an official conclusion was never given.
11. Rain Man
Don Decker's grandfather died in 1983 in Strudsburg, Pennsylvania. After the funeral, the young man suddenly felt a fever and fell into a trance. At the same instant, water began to flow down the ceiling and walls of the living room in which he was at that time. There was no running water in this part of the house, which caused bewilderment to everyone around. Don's friend called the police officers, who asked to take the deceased's grandson out of the house and take him to the nearest pizza restaurant. The mystical phenomenon repeated itself: water began to drip from the ceiling of the pizzeria. As soon as people left the building, the rain stopped.
12. Underground ocean
Scientists have discovered a giant reservoir of water 660 km below the surface of the Earth. The reservoir is believed to be 2.7 billion years old. Its volume is several times the volume of the World Ocean. This discovery led to the emergence of a new theory. Perhaps the underground ocean burst out, forming the oceans we know, and not vice versa, as previously thought.
