Mysterious Places on Earth To Explore For the Heart of Steel

No doubt science can explain almost every possible thing that happens on the planet earth, but that doesn’t means there isn’t any room for a little mystery, as well. It can happen anywhere, anytime! Let’s not forget that like some places are extremely beautiful and gorgeous, others look equally weird and mysterious. And then, there is no way explaining it away. Elaborating it better, below are just a handful of such mysterious places on Earth!


Skeleton Lake, India

For several months, the glacial lake of Skeleton in Roopkund, Uttrakhand, is completely frozen but just as the ice melts around the lake, hundreds of scattered bones are clearly visible. First spotted by a British forest guard in 1942, it is quite believed that the skeletons were those of Japanese soldiers who laid their lives while crossing the route during World War II. The skulls are believed to have odd cracks in them that lead to much speculation about their origin but now the scientists claim the cracks were from freak hail storms which lead to destruction.

Isla de las Munecas, Mexico

Isla de las Munecas is completely inhabited by different dolls and the locals there strongly believe that the dolls whisper to each other during the night and even move their eyes as someone passes by. The trees here are strung with hundreds of dolls and this was done by the island's only inhabitant, Don Julian Santana Barrera who started collecting the dolls from garbage bins and hanged them on the trees. This was done to calm down the spirit of a young girl whom he found near the island. Weirdly, Barrera also drowned in exactly the same place where he had found the girl’s body. Scary, isn’t it?

Japan’s Aokigahara Forest is known for having one of the highest rates of suicide in the world. The forest is located at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan and the locals believe that the forest is haunted by spirits and ghosts that compel people to end their lives. Many claim to have heard loud crying screams from the forest during night. The biggest irony is that the authorities have mounted signs reading "Your life is a precious gift from your parents" and "Please consult the police before you decide to die!" but these still go unheard. More than 500 suicides have taken place in the forest since 1950s.

The ‘Door to Hell’ is literally a door to the hell as it completely resembles a work straight out of a science-fiction. The place was actually accidentally created by in the early 1970s when a team of Soviet scientists identified the area as a potential oil field site but is rather came out to be a natural gas field. Since then, it has been burning continuously. This 230-feet-wide crater is one of the largest gas reserves in the world.

Bermuda Triangle, North Atlantic Ocean

Popularly known as the Devil's Triangle, Bermuda Triangle is world famous but not for good reasons. The place remains in news constantly for its mysterious incidents such as plane crashes, sighting of objects, magnetic abnormalities, and unexplainable disappearances. While some refer all this to alien activities, some claim to work of an electronic fog that may be a time travel tunnel. Interestingly, Bermuda Triangle is the rarest place on the planet where the compass points in the north direction instead of Earth's magnetic north.
