A look at the world’s most underrated mysterious place!

There’s nothing more nerve-chilling than discovering a place full of mystery, eerie happenings and unexplained phenomena!

And, if you are someone who enjoys exploring such destinations, our planet is brimming with such surreal sites, sites that are downright bizarre.

And no, we’ll not tell you about the ones you already know, such as Bermuda Triangle or Nazca Lines in Peru or Area 51, United States.

Let us take you on a virtual tour of some of the world’s most underrated mysterious places.

Uluru (Ayers Rock) in Australia has always fascinated travellers with an adventure streak! It’s basically a gargantuan block of sandstone rock, which resembles the upper shell of a turtle. It’s a sight to behold and attracts hikers to history buffs in search of prehistoric evidence. The place is also the origin of Aboriginal Australians.

The fans of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining must be widely aware of the (infamous) Banff Springs Hotel of Canada. The hotel is a hub of unexplained mysteries, ghost stories and bizarre happenings. According to locals, a family was murdered in cold-blood in room 873 and the hotel is now haunted by their souls. Many talk of reappearing doormen, who keep disappearing into thin air when spotted.

Stonehenge is a more-than-5000-years-old structure in England that has long oozed mystery and magic! It is basically a circular cluster of humongous megalith stones made of unique bluestone material. It is believed that this unique bluestone is found only on the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire, which is some 322 km away in Wales. So, the mystery here is how the Neolithic folks transported such massive rocks all the way, and what was their purpose for building it? No one knows.

Roswell in New Mexico is a hub of alien conspiracy theories. In 1947, the small US city hit headlines when a ranch worker informed the local authorities that he stumbled upon debris from a flying saucer crash.

Now who can explain this extremely weird phenomenon? Kodinhi is a small village in Kerala, situated about 35 km from Calicut. Around 2000 families live in this pretty south Indian village and almost every family has a pair of twins! The village is renowned for its inexplicable number of twin births since 1949! Ever since then, the number has gone tremendously up with each passing year and as per current records, there are 200 twins. No doctor or scientist could solve this one.

Kamakhya Devi is a beautiful hilltop temple situated in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. It is also one of the Shakti Peethas (places where Goddess Sati’s body parts fell on Earth) in India, where Goddess Kali is venerated. Legend has it that Kamakhya temple is built on the spot where Sati’s yoni or vagina fell. Every year, a very mysterious thing happens in the temple for three days in a specific month. It is believed that the goddess goes through her menstrual cycle and the water of the Brahmaputra river, which flows near the temple, turns red with her blood!

London’s Highgate Cemetery is certainly a place for daredevils. The age-old angelic figures positioned in the middle of the garden, laughing gargoyles, and infinite rows of tombs are enough to scare the guts out of any braveheart! It is believed that blood-sucking vampires lurk here after the sunset, but nobody who dared to go inside lived to tell the reality!

This place has long attracted divers and underwater explorers for its unexplained phenomena – the world’s biggest sinkhole, measuring 1000 ft (304 m) across and plunges to 400 feet (122 m) deep! It’s one of the most mysterious and unexplored underwater sites on Earth.

One of the most otherworldly creations in the world is the Rakotzbrücke or the Devil’s Bridge! Set in the beautiful Kromlauer Park, this semi-circle bridge is so unbelievably pretty that people say it was built by Satan himself, and that’s why the name! Besides, several supernatural happenings have been reported here.

The weirdness begins with the name of the Polish city, which is quite unpronounceable! The city of Szczecin in Poland is a stone throw from the Germany border, and is known for a bizarre forest that is home to 400 pine trees, which are weirdly twisted (almost 90 degrees at the trunk). A long debate has raged as to what caused this unusual phenomenon!
