Science and history have been able to explain how everything works and why something is the way it is. Well, let's say almost everything. Despite science being an excuse for how the world works as we know, locations still exist where science can't explain anything. Many critics out there won't even touch the idea of places being considered supernatural, but how else could some locations be explained if science can't support the facts? So here are some of the most interestingly-bizarre locations the supernatural could have a play on.
1. Fairy Circles, Namibia
These perfectly-shaped, 20-centimeter circles are located in a field in Namibia, Africa where nothing will grow. The cause of these circles has stumped countless people, and not even scientists can explain why they are perfect circles, why they don't overlap and why they are evenly spaced. I genuinely believe fairies exist and could have made these circles as homes.
2. The Devil's Kettle, Minnesota
This waterfall comes from the Brule River where it then splits in half. Some of the water from the Brule River itself goes to Lake Superior, and the rest goes to this waterfall. The mysterious part is the half that goes down the waterfall doesn't come out anywhere. Experiments have been done with cameras to see where the water goes, but none of them have been successful. There is a theory that it goes through an underground river, but then I start to think the water has to come out somewhere like a cave opening or the mouth of a river.
3. Easter Island
Located off the coast of Chile, Easter Island is a remote island famous for the "Moia," or the monumental statues. These statues seem off because of how much bigger the heads are than the bodies. The question that bothers everyone is: "Who put them there, and how?" Some believe they were built to represent the power that leaders of the original people of the island had. I would like to think that that's why they were built, but I am more curious as to how they were built. They didn't have big machines back then.
4. Devil's Sea
Also known as the Dragon's Triangle, the Devil's Sea is located on the Pacific coast of Japan. This is where ships, vessels, planes or anything that goes through it vanishes. Unlike the Bermuda Triangle, there aren't a set of parameters that have been mapped to the Devil's sea, so how much space the area takes up is unknown. Despite scientific reasoning being provided, nothing is definitive. There are other beliefs including UFOs, USOs or paranormal activity, but I would think even those possibilities would have left a mark of some kind like a piece of a ship.
5. Stonehenge
Stonehenge is a massive stone monument located in Salisbury, England. These stones were built around 4,000 years ago, but what's mysterious is that there is no information on who built them and why they were built. Most people think the Druids or those who lived before the Romans built them, but no record of these populations has been left. I have the idea that those who built it, for whatever reason, may have done it for protection of some kind, but what stumped me was who built them.
6. The Void In The Great Pyramid Of Giza
Recently, a void was detected with high-tech technology inside the pyramid. This void may make up a room or corridor in the pyramid, but none of this is known for sure due to the technology used. The detectors only show rough outlines, not the details. Through what is known as a Muon detector, archeologists were able to get a better picture of where the void is located, but even with that, nothing can be proved as to what caused the void. From what I know, I couldn't think of anything that could have caused this void.
7. The Hessdalen Lights
These strange lights occurred in Norway, appearing to be as large as cars, but how long they last in the sky was different every time they show up. A theory has been said as to why they could be showing, though. Scientists think they are caused by a natural battery underground created by metallic minerals. The science behind it isn't 100 percent, and there is always a possibility of these not being related to science at all. I would think they could be multiple UFO lights beaming out to see ahead, but there could be many interpretations of what it could be.
8. The Taos Hum
In the town of Taos, New Mexico, a mysterious hum has been heard. It was first reported in the early 1990s. Those who can hear the hum are rare, but everyone still wonders what this hum really is. Every sound has an origin, but this noise's source has yet to be found. Theories have been made, such as secret experiments or an underground UFO base. Since only a small fraction of people can hear this hum, I do believe it could be aliens communicating with us.
9. The Fish Graveyard
Despite this happening more than once in Marazion Beach, Cornwall, there was a strong theory as to why thousands of fish had washed up to shore in more than one location. But it wasn’t definitive. It is believed that fishing boats released their catch by accident, but this sadly wasn't a strong theory by itself. It may have been an environmental issue of some kind that affected the fish, but then, I thought, is it really that big of a possibility?
