World’s Oldest Individual Clonal Tree Discovered in Sweden
It is believed that trees are
some of the longest living organisms on earth, and this disheveled spruce is no
exception. The robust ancient 16-foot-tall Norwegian tree grows high atop the
Fulufjället Mountain in Sweden and goes by the name of Old Tjikko well named
after the discovering geologist's dog. Whereas this little shrub may not look
like much, carbon dating of its root system has discovered that Old Tjikko it
is in fact a astonishing 9,550 years old. Therefore, this means that its
wizened bark and timeworn branches have seen thousands of years of human
history come and go.
Since the tree is discovered in
2004, and this specific spruce comes from a species that conventionally
decorated European homes during Christmas time, and is the planet’s
longest-living identified plant. The unbelievable longevity of the plant in
fact stems from its complicated root system and capability to clone itself. Although
the trunk may only live around six hundred years, as soon as that portion dies
off, a new one emerges from the very same root stock, letting it to frequently
regenerate. Moreover for thousands of years, the frigid Tundra climate has kept
Old Tjikko to a petite shrub; though, as weather has warmed over the past 100
years, the shrub has grown into a full-fledged tree that now stands bigheadedly,
having outlived so much else on this earth.

Baghdad Battery
Yes, this is really shocking!
When was electricity used thousands of years before we switched it on? Because,
when we think of electricity, most of us recall back to a time in school where
we learned about Benjamin Franklin, a metal key, and a kite. The year of
Franklin’s fateful discovery was 1752.
Thus, the existence of the
Baghdad batteries recommends the possibility of far more shocking scientific
advances in the field a mind-blowing 2,000 years earlier. Therefore, this was
discovered in 1936, and believed to have been made in the Mesopotamian region,
these clay pots contain galvanized iron nails wrapped with copper sheeting, and
some archaeologists theories that an acidic liquid was used to generate an
electric current inside the jar.
Furthermore if correct, these
artefacts would predate the currently accepted timeline for the invention of
the electrochemical cell, attributed to Alessandro Volta, by more than two
millennia. Whether or not the artefacts were in fact used as batteries is
highly contested by archaeologists, and what the resulting electrical current
was used for is also a comprehensive mystery, as we have no historical records
from that time. Moreover some people theories that they might have been used
for electroplating objects, but such proof of their use for that purpose is yet
to be found. What we do identify, though, is that the batteries would in fact
work, at least in theory.
Hence, at least twice,
experiments were conducted to test replica constructions of the batteries,
including once on the show Myth busters, and both experiments showed that the
batteries were indeed capable of producing electricity when filled with an
acidic solution. But for now, the true purpose of these artefacts remains
unidentified.
Bermuda Triangle
Known as the Bermuda Triangle, this legendary expanse of ocean can be
found between the points of Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Pilots
often tell of their instruments going haywire and numerous ships have
been lost at sea. With explanations ranging from gas bubbles to aliens,
no one is sure what is behind the strange phenomena.
The Loch Ness Monster
For ages, people have been hearing about the Loch Ness monster and how
it baffled everyone thinking that it is a creature unlike any other.
There have been many sightings over the years and photos and videos of
actual footage have been checked and looked at time and time again,
confirming if it could be some kind of sea serpent or a descendant of
the dinosaurs. Even up today, as some are claiming, it still exists and
swims under the waters.
DB Cooper
When
DB Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 along with $200,000, he proceeded to
jump out of the plane with a parachute. He was never found, however, and
this remains the only unsolved case in US aviation history.
Nazca Geoglyphs
The Nazca civilization is responsible for some of the most fascinating
geoglyphs on the face of the Earth. They include everything from
spiders, monkeys, sharks, orcas, and flowers, the precision of which is
incredible given that the Nazca had no way of examining their work from
above.
Aluminum Wedge of Aiud
Back in 1974, a group of workers in Romania discovered three different
objects 10 meters deep in a sand trench. Two of the items were
prehistoric elephant bones that have been dated as old as 2.5 million
years ago. The third object however, is an aluminum wedge that was found
together with the ancient bones. This discovery dumbfounded most
researchers, as aluminum was difficult to create even by 19th century
standards. While some call it evidence of extraterrestrials, others are
calling it a hoax. Whatever it is, we may never know.
The Baltic Anomaly
The Baltic Anomaly is a still-unknown item in the Baltic Sea which some
say could be a pre-Ice Age artifact or Nazi anti-submarine device.
Oddly, divers’ electrical equipment stops functioning within 650 feet
(200m) and a strong radio signal comes off from just near the item.
Silent Twins
Dubbed the Silent Twins because they only communicated with their
immediate family, June and Jennifer Gibbons were born in Wales in 1963
and grew up as social pariahs who were frequently bullied.They
both had speech impediments, and as the years went by, created a strange
secret language which became more unique and less intelligible to
outsiders.The sisters committed several crimes, including arson and
petty theft, were committed to England's Broadmoor Hospital, where they lived for 11 years and were later diagnosed with schizophrenia.The Silent Twins, the sisters had an intense love-hate relationship and
eventually made a pact while at Broadmoor: one had to die so the other
could lead a normal life.Jennifer even admitted to journalist,
Wallace during a visit: "I'm going to die. We've decided." In 1993,
hours after their release, Jennifer, at the age of 29, died on her
sister's shoulder from a sudden inflammation of the heart muscle. The
cause remains a mystery.
UFO Near Falcon Lake, Canada.
Well, on 20th May 1967, Stefan
Michalak reportedly encountered a UFO near Falcon Lake, approximately 75 KM
north of the Canadian/American border, a sort of resort and vacation town in
Whiteshell Provincial Park. He was also an amateur geologist and he was close
enough to touch the object but then, it abruptly lifted off, knocking him on
his back. He stayed still for about a half hour, sketching the object. It was
roughly 40 feet across, 10 feet high, and had a small dome on the top that was
an additional 3 feet high. A blast of hot gas shot from these holes onto his
chest, setting his shirt and undershirt on fire and causing him severe pain,
and leaving burn marks in the shape of a grid.
Stefan Michalak claimed to have
been burnt by the object´s exhaust vent that was covered with a grid. However,
it sounds very strange; the injuries are shown in this image below. Therefore, after this weird accident, he
suffered from typical symptoms of radiation. It remains a real mystery to this day
as to how he gained these injuries. Could the story really be true? Moreover,
few has saw this in a really old UFO book, they’ve been talking about this for
decades the real interesting part is adter all this time it hasn’t been
debunked.
Easter Island Heads
The remote island is tucked away in the
South Pacific Ocean and was once home to a Polynesian population, whose
history remains mysterious. The Easter Island is home to many
stone heads. They do however actually have bodies too! The tallest of
the 887 Moai on the island is over 30 feet tall and weighs over 82 tons.Many of the sculptures were moved to different places around the island. They are said to represent ancestors and deities.

The Ouija Board
The Ouija Board has a long and strange sordid history for a board
game. This was first brought to the commercial market by a business man by
the name of "Elijah Bond" in the late eighteen centuries (1890) as nothing more than a parlor game. Therefore, this
“wonderful talking board” promised “never-failing amusement and
recreation for all the classes.” Moreover it became hopelessly entangled in the occult years later when spiritualists adopted it as a tool for divining. Thus, people use these boards to try and make contact with spirits and ask them questions and they'll spell out their answers. Moreover, it is thought and well believed that this "game" can be very risky & dangerous, and something not to be messed with. Have you ever played with a Ouija Board and had a strange experience? Countless people has tried this game and have positive experience.
The Shadow People
The Shadow People is an urban legend, revolving around obscured visions or shadows of people that appear and disappear very quickly. However, at least one case turned out to be true. Therefore, in Fukuoka, Japan, a man who
lived "alone" in his apartment started to suspect that something else was
present there with him, moving things around and stealing food. It was a strange things he faced first time. Then he decided to set up surveillance cameras and, sure enough, he captured
footage of an old woman slithering out of his cupboard. Hence the lady was 58-year-old Tatsuko Horikawa, who was homeless and
admitted to police that she had lived in the man's home for about a
year, lurking just beyond his eyesight in closets and cupboards.
Two Men Died in Strange Circumstances
In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1966, two men died in strange circumstances, which have yet to be explained. It is unclear whether the men were murdered or if it was suicide. There
were several objects found around the men and the case has been called
the Lead Masks Case.Two electronic technicians, Manoel Pereira
da Cruz and Miguel José Viana, told friends and family they were going
to buy some supplies for work and buy a car. They apparently already had
the money on them.They stopped
off to buy a bottle of water and a coat. They apparently seemed to be in
a hurry and kept looking at their watches.
Their bodies were
found a few days later. The police determined the last moments the men
were alive and found some items that represented their last moments
alive. They were both dressed in suits and they had on waterproof coats.
They wore lead eye masks with no holes such as one would wear to
protect form radiation. They also found an empty water bottle, a
notebook, and two towels. The money they were supposed to be carrying
for the purchase of a car wasn’t found.The notebook contained these words in Portuguese “16:30 be at agreed place, 18:30 swallow capsules, after effect protect metals wait for mask signal.”The toxicology didn't offer any concrete results. It’s still unknown if
they took the capsules or not. It appears they were waiting for someone
to tell them to put on their masks.
