Introduction:
The world is a weird (and wonderful)
place. And from a rose-coloured lake to a Japanese island ruled by cats, we’ve
got twenty pictures to prove it.

1-The
Alaskan Triangle [aka Alaska’s Bermuda
Triangle]
here are certain areas of this planet that seem to be magnets for
missing persons and mysterious disappearances. For whatever reasons, people
come to such places and simply vanish, never to return. Many know of the more
famous of these places, such as the Bermuda Triangle, but there are more such
anomalous zones to be found around the world. Perhaps one of the littler known
of these regions that are seemingly hungry for more souls is a vast expanse of
wilderness in the northernmost U.S. state of Alaska; a cold, barren place that
has the habit of holding on to people and refusing to let go.
“Alaska’s Bermuda Triangle” is said to encompass a large,
sprawling section of the state, all the way from the south-eastern region near
Juneau and Yakutat, and all the way up north to the Barrow mountain range, and
to Anchorage in the middle of the state. Within this zone are vast areas of
largely unexplored wilderness, including sprawling forests, craggy mountain
peaks, and desolate, barren tundra. The region sports an unusually high number
of people, both tourists and locals, who go missing every year without a trace
as if they have vanished off the face of the earth, and additionally many
planes have also disappeared or inexplicably crashed here. It is said that
since 1988, a staggering 16,000 thousand people have vanished in the so-called
“Alaska Triangle,” to never be heard from again.
2-The Stony Tunguska River [aka Podkamennaya
Tunguska River]
In 1908, an explosion 1,000 times greater than the nuclear bomb
dropped on Hiroshima tore through the air over Siberia. Witnesses reported a
column of bluish light as the sky seemed to split in half and catch fire. The
blast sent a shockwave that knocked people off their feet and flattened 770
square miles of forest, toppling an estimated 80 million trees. When the first
expedition arrived to investigate, native guides would not enter the impact
zone, fearing people they called “the Valley men”. While scientific consensus
attributes the blast to the explosion of a meteorite in midair – leading some
to blame natural gas or even a collision with alien spacecraft.
3- The
Devil's Sea [aka Dragon’s Triangle & ‘Pacific Bermuda Triangle’]
The Devil’s Sea or Dragon’s Triangle is one of the 12 Vile
Vortices, which is located near the Japanese coast in the Pacific Ocean. Vile
Vortex is an area where the pull of the planet’s electromagnetic waves is the
strongest. The Devil’s sea is a triangle between Japan and the Islands of
Bonin, including a major portion of the Philippine Sea. It is also called as
the Pacific Bermuda Triangle as it lies exactly opposite to the Bermuda
Triangle and is noted for similar paranormal phenomena. Here the ships and
planes have disappeared mysteriously. Many have seen ghosts’ ships in the sea.
The Japanese therefore call it the Sea of the Devil (Ma-no Uma).
4- Island
of the Dolls [aka Isla de las Muñecas]
Hundreds of photographers and thrill-seekers travel to the haunted
Island of the Dolls every year, but it was never meant to be a tourist
attraction.
After a two-hour canal ride from Mexico City, they arrive at a
nightmarish clearing deep in the woods where thousands of mutilated dolls hang
from the trees and hide among the dense branches.
They were put there by a reclusive Mexican man who believed they
would appease the troubled ghost of a small girl who died there over 50 years
ago - and still haunts the woods today.
Julian Santana Barrera retreated to the woods soon after she
drowned in the nearby canal. He claimed he could hear her tormented screams and
footsteps in the darkness.
Even today - 14 years after his own mysterious death in those
woods - visitors say they hear whispers in the night and feel the dolls' eyes
following them through the trees.
5-The Nazca Lines
Les géoglyphes de Nazca (ou Nasca), appelées
communément lignes de Nazca, sont de grandes figures tracées sur le sol,
souvent d'animaux stylisés, parfois de simples lignes longues de plusieurs
kilomètres, visibles dans le désert de Nazca, dans le sud du Pérou. Le sol sur
lequel se dessinent ces géoglyphes est couvert de cailloux que l'oxyde de fer
colore en rouge. En les ôtant, les Nazcas ont fait apparaître un sol gypseux
grisâtre, découpant ainsi les contours des figures qu'ils traçaient.
Découverts en 1927, ces géoglyphes sont le fait
de la civilisation Nazca, une culture pré-incaïque qui se développa entre 300
av. J.-C. et 800 de notre ère. Ils ont été réalisés pour la plupart entre 400
et 6501. Lignes et géoglyphes sont inscrits, sous la désignation « Lignes et
géoglyphes au Nasca et Palpa », sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco
depuis
6- North
Sentinel Island
North Sentinel Island is one of the Andaman Islands, which
includes South Sentinel Island, in the Bay of Bengal. It is home to the
Sentinelese who, often violently, reject any contact with the outside world,
and are among the last people worldwide to remain virtually untouched by modern
civilization. As such only limited information about the island is known.
Nominally, the island belongs to the South Andaman administrative
district, part of the Indian union territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
[8] In practice, Indian authorities recognize the islanders' desire to be left
alone and restrict their role to remote monitoring.
