islands are a series of ancient labyrinths which have been studied extensively but the mystery of their purpose remains unresolved the stone labyrinths have been arranged in spirals often intersecting with each other to form more complex patterns and concentrated into an area that covers less than half a square mile testing of the rocks has revealed that they're more than 2,500 years old but hasn't shed any light on their purpose radial spikes on boulders found in the area suggests that they may have been part of a Sun ritual but other researchers believe they had a ceremonial use perhaps to assist in guiding spirits to the underworld after people had passed away given the difficult to navigate layout of the labyrinths though they may also have been intended to prevent the dead from finding their way back upon the highest peak of northern Germany sits the world's first television transmitter but that's far from the Bracken's only claim to fame this mountain range has been

fire that nobody could see the mist seemed to center over the old quarry and as the smoke grew thicker the true nature of the problem was revealed the sulfuric or below the quarry had caught fire and the cloud was beginning to poison the city stinging eyes burning throats and headaches became common in the surrounding area leaving firefighters with the huge task of putting out an inferno that was burning below the ground when a waterfall gets a nickname like The Devil's kettle you know there's going to be a bizarre story about it the natural feature in Minnesota USA has perplexed scientists

trace the exit point of the powerful flow but they also vanish all that leaves us with is speculation with some believing that the water sinks down into the core of the earth that might make it a portal to Hell hence the name a more likely explanation is that the pressure of the water against the rocks are so great that anything thrown into it even a tiny GPS tracker would be crushed and destroyed that could be true but it still doesn't explain where the water goes if you were out walking and suddenly noticed you could see water running uphill and found you could lean at angles usually reserved for Michael Jackson in the smooth criminal' video would you run away in terror or turn it into a tourist destination George Prather took the second option when he opened the Mystery

of the end of their toes scientists say it's all an optical illusion caused by the way our minds perceive the strange landscape but we prefer the tour guides explanation that an ancient asteroid fell to earth here centuries ago and changed the electromagnetic field in the popular movie Wayne's World there's the catchphrase if you build it they will come that turned out not to be the case for the Mongolian ghost city of Ordos this was supposed to be a mega city which should have been home to hundreds of thousands of people but planned businesses were never created nearby mines turned out to be unprofitable and the city was mostly abandoned in a state of half completion now it's an eerie place to visit with huge vacant apartment buildings and empty roads and museums which nobody ever visits the houses haven't been vandalized because there's nobody here to vandalize them it's a towering city of silence and solitude like a relic of a lost civilization when Latvian Edouard Leedskalnin was rejected by his fiancee on the eve of their wedding he set off to heal his broken heart in America and prove to her that he was capable of achieving something with his life when he arrived in America he contracted tuberculosis but claims to have healed himself with magnets that would sound like an outlandish claim until you consider his most incredible achievement building the Coral Castle of Florida the castle made of light limestone was a lifetime's worth for Leedskalnin modern engineers would need powerful machinery to arrange stones of this size in such precise and artistic formations but Leedskalnin worked alone demonstrating skills so precise that not one of the thousands of tons of rock here have moved an inch since he put them together almost a century ago the eccentric builder took the secret of how he built the castle to his grave telling visitors only that he'd discovered the secret behind the building of the pyramids and used the same method local witnesses claimed to have seen him moving the rocks around as if they were light as balloons and some even say he used psychic powers to lift them can you think of a better explanation music lovers around the world know

fata morgana visual effect the Morgana part of that name comes from The Legend of Morgana a sorceress associated with the tale of King Arthur that's because it's believed that somewhere far below the tower King Arthur himself is buried and resting ready to awaken when his country needs him there are even stories that the tour is the secret hiding place of the Holy Grail and the Gateway to the mystical land of Avalon no wonder it's such a popular pilgrimage site the Rosslyn Chapel has been sat quietly in Scotland since 1456 but after the publication of Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code it's become a hot spot of speculation and myth connecting it to both the Holy Grail and the Templar knights most of that speculation is unfounded but the chapel has some strange properties which can't be explained it's at empty between the years of 1592 and 1842 by which time the original meaning of many of the intricate inscriptions on the pillars and ceilings had been forgotten they defy any translation and some of them appear to depict types of corn and wheat which should have been unknown in Europe until after Columbus visited America even more mysterious is the sealed vault behind the chapel to which no entrance can be found everything from the Scottish crown jewels to the remains of Jesus Christ has been rumoured to be in there preserved for centuries hi you've alley in China has many different nicknames including the foreboding Dell of black bamboo but the one that tells us the most in terms of what it's known for is the Bermuda Triangle of China this is a strange and

abandonment there have been tales of UFO sightings here and tourists who've walked into the old town and never been seen again on winter nights strange lights are said to appear directly above the empty buildings for which no explanation has ever been found scientists insist that the rapid decay is due to an infestation of phylloxera aphids which used to feast on the grapes within the vineyards
