Teotihuacan - 30 Miles North East of Mexico City

Teotihuacan - 30 Miles North East of Mexico City is a very little is known about the people who lived in the city of Teotihuacan.About 30 miles northeast of Mexico City, it was the greatest city in the Western Hemisphere before the 1400s, the Mayans, and the Aztecs. The Aztecs, after discovering the city, named it Teotihuacan, “the place where god were created.”The ruins of Teotihuacan archaeological site are among the most remarkable in Mexico.

This ancient site is enveloped in mysteries that add to its intrigue and appeal. Experts do not know to what ethnic group the people of Teotihuacan belonged, nor what language they spoke. For this reason they are called Teotihuacanos. The name of the site, which means "place of the gods," comes from the Aztecs.By the time of the Aztec civilization, Teotihuacan had already been abandoned for hundreds of years, but the Aztecs considered it a sacred place full of myths and legends.

Roopkund

Roopkund is a high altitude glacial lake in Uttarakhand, India. It's famous due to hundreds of human skeletons which are found at the edge of the lake. The lake, known as 'Skeleton lake', is situated at an altitude of 5,029 meters in the Himalayas. Every year, when the snow melts, hundreds of scattered skulls can be seen.  The skeletons were first found by a British forest guard in 1942. Initially, it was believed that the skeletons were those of Japanese soldiers who had died while crossing during World War II. Scientists have now found out that the skeletons were of pilgrims and locals as the bodies dated to around 850 AD.

Psychedelic Swamp

This image, taken by Michael Hussey. Apparently this happens every year as leaves begin to decompose in the water. The decomposing leaves release tannic acid and when the sun hits it this rainbow effect can be seen over the water.

The Hessdalen Lights

The Hessdalen Light is an unexplained light usually seen in the Hessdalen valley in Norway. In 2007, a group of teachers, students and scientists established a science camp in Norway to study the phenomenon. On a clear night, Bjorn G. Hauge managed to take this pic using an exposure time of 30 seconds. The analysis of the spectrum reveals the object to be made of silicium, iron, titanium and scandium.

Umbrella Man.

One of the only two people at the scene of JFK's assassination caught on camera who were not questioned by the FBI. He was nicknamed the Umbrella Man as he was holding up an umbrella despite the sunny weather. Seconds before the president was shot, he began to spin the umbrella clockwise, which caused many people to speculate whether he was signalling the assassin or even shooting the president with a gun mechanism build into the umbrella.

The Devil’s Sea

The Devil’s Sea is an area of the Pacific Ocean as riddled with strange happenings as its Atlantic counterpart near Bermuda. Therefore, it is located off the coast of Japan, it’s been the site of countless claims of unexplained phenomena including magnetic anomalies, inexplicable lights and objects, and of course, mysterious disappearances. The area is even considered a danger by Japanese fishing authorities.One story has it that in 1952 the Japanese government sent out a research vessel, the Kaio Maru No. 5, to investigate the mysteries of the Devil’s Sea. Naturally, of course, the Kaio Maru No. 5 and its crew of 31 people were never seen again.

Moreover, another story tells of Kublai Khan’s disastrous attempts to invade Japan by crossing the Devil’s Sea, losing at least 40 000 men in the process. The usual theories abound for what’s really going on: from aliens, to gates to parallel universes, even to Atlantis (because why not). Some suggest that high volcanic activity in the region is responsible for some of the disappearances (the Kaio Maru No. 5 may have been caught in an eruption). Our advice? Just stay out of the ocean, period.

Super cells

A super cell is basically a stronger, more tornado-enabled version of a regular storm cell. This is because, much like tornadoes super-cells have the tendency to spin around a lot, but also and more importantly because super-cells can actually create tornadoes.
