Poveglia Island, Italy
Located just south of Venice, Poveglia Island is a
mysterious place with no fresh water and virtually uninhabited—no more than 100
people live there. The island gained notoriety in World War I when it was used
as a dumping ground for people afflicted with various diseases. There are
stories that zombies still haunt some of its abandoned hospital buildings, and
many local fishermen refuse to go near it because they believe its an evil
place. Local legends say that during World War II some women committed suicide
by jumping into one of its canals after their lovers were killed in combat.
Many paranormal investigators claim that energy balls light up in specific
places on the island at night and that apparitions appear out of nowhere if you
visit at midnight.
Georgia Guidestones, USA
The Georgia Guidestones is a granite monument in Elbert
County, Georgia. It is composed of six granite slabs each measuring 20 feet
(6.1 m) tall by 6 feet (1.8 m) wide and weighing around 80 tons. The stones
were positioned in 1979 according to astronomic and astrological alignments,
with an accuracy of within one second of arc. One side has been left blank and
was originally intended for future generations to add their own instructions;
however, it has been vandalized several times over the years. The monument is
difficult to read without approaching closely due to its size and terrain but
it can be viewed at any distance via airplane or satellite imagery on Google
Maps or Google Earth.
Nara Dreamland, Japan
If you’re nostalgic for your childhood, head over to Nara
Dreamland. Located in Nara Prefecture in Japan, it was a popular amusement park
that opened its doors in 1961 and closed only 13 years later due to dwindling
attendance. At one point, it had up to 10 million visitors per year—no surprise
when you consider that admission cost just 200 yen ($2). With around 100
attractions spread out across 70 acres of land, there was something for
everyone at Nara Dreamland: roller coasters (including one built by
Astro-Fynam), carousels, games and shows. Today only a handful of rusted
attractions remain along with rotting remnants of bumper cars and haunted
houses. On second thought...maybe it is pretty creepy after all.
Corozal Town Square, Belize
Perhaps you’ve heard of Corozal Town Square. But then again,
maybe not. Unless you’re a tourism pro or have heard about it from someone who
is, it’s highly unlikely that you know where Belize is located on any map; let
alone know its name in order to look for Corozal Town Square. Nonetheless, if
you do manage to find it (if it exists), don’t expect much because unlike other
mysterious places in remote locations around the world—the jungle would
probably swallow up anything there rather quickly. Where is Corozal Town Square
anyway? Nobody knows and those few who do are keeping mum about it. So don't
bother looking for a map—they're almost as common as unicorns nowadays, too!
Aokigahara Forest (aka Suicide Forest), Japan
Many consider Aokigahara Forest, located at the northwest
base of Mount Fuji, to be a mysterious place. Numerous people have gone missing
in these forests and there are various bodies found here each year. It is
speculated that around 100 suicides occur each year within its borders and it
has gained popularity as a common destination for suicide via hanging or
strangulation. Among all of Japan’s mountains, Aokigahara is reported as having
one of highest concentrations of suicides among hikers.
Bermuda Triangle
The Bermuda Triangle, in particular, is one of those places
that people have tried to visit—and never been able to. What's weird about it
is that it's not even just another section of ocean where ships and planes go
missing; it's a triangle-shaped swath of Atlantic Ocean where ships seem to be
compelled toward destruction. As many as 100 ships have been lost in mysterious
circumstances in what is now known as the Devil's Triangle. It has also been
said that there are unnatural magnetic forces and other unexplained occurrences
at work here. So who knows? If you're ever sailing past Bermuda and you find
yourself pulled inexorably into its depths, well... maybe it was just time for
your boat to meet a watery end anyway.
Easter Island
Easter Island is an island in Polynesia, over 2,000
kilometers from its nearest landmass. Easter Island is believed to have been
settled by a group of seafaring Native Americans thousands of years ago. It was
most famous as a breeding ground for giant heads - which were mysteriously
created and then abandoned. There are more than 900 monolithic stone heads
scattered across 95 different sites on Easter Island, but they're not all exact
replicas of one another: some of them weigh upwards of 30 tons, while others
stand no more than 70 centimeters tall. One thing they all have in common is that
they are remarkably well preserved despite their age; archaeologists believe
that many came close to being destroyed during conflicts between rival tribes
thousands of years ago.
Surtsey, Iceland
After an eruption in 1963, scientists wanted to see what
would happen to an ecosystem if it were only populated by microorganisms. So
they created a new island and left it alone for decades; now, just fifty years
later, it's home to four species of plants (including grass) and one species of
moss. Researchers don't know how long it will take for other plant and animal
life to move into Surtsey, but they're observing closely. Until then? It's your
turn! What are you doing with your time on Earth?
