Top 10 Creepiest Places on Earth That Can't Be Explained

well are you saying what i'm saying i most definitely am not welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 creepiest places on earth that can't be explained once thought to be the result of a meteor impact researchers now believe it was caused by a large dome of molten rock uplifting and once at the surface being shaped by wind and water into what we see today there's still no real confirmation as to where the water goes once it goes in some researchers suspect a highly poisonous bush of the euphorbia family they believe it contaminates the soil so badly that even after its death nothing can grow for this list we're looking at the most unsettling mysterious locations around the world if there's a place out there with fearsome features you can't explain please tell us about it in the comments number 10 catatumbo lightning storm venezuela at the mouth of the katatumbo river where it spills into lake maracaibo the weather gets a little intense generally the storm is not only the lightning it's also sometimes hurricane-force winds tornadoes all sorts of formations of clouds and very heavy rain the catatoonbo lightning storm is a phenomenon that occurs between 140 and 160 days of the year usually at night while its exact frequency varies from year to year the strange occurrence has been happening with surprising regularity dating back to at least 1826. each storm lasts for 10 hours and can have 200 lightning strikes per hour on some occasions it's been recorded as having a lightning strike every second scientists have had some success with predictive models but theories on its exact cause remain inconclusive ideas have ranged from localized uranium to methane to a convergence of atmospheric variables it originates from a mass of storm clouds over five kilometers high which are likely the result of winds from the lake meeting surrounding mountain ranges and collecting heat and moisture creating electrical charges whatever the cause the effect is stunning and terrifying number nine the hessdalen lights norway since at least the 1930s strange lights have been observed in the sky above the hessdalen valley in norway sometimes resembling spheres and other times streaks these strange lights are not an aurora nor are they any known craft although aircraft have been mistaken for them their duration speed time of appearance and behavior vary wildly to the point that making observations or hypotheses has proven difficult aside from the inevitable claims of alien activity a number of ideas have been put forth such as plasma created from radon decay or electric charges generated from quartz grains in the valley below until a conclusive theory is reached we'll just have to keep looking to the sky number eight the reshat structure mauritania located in the sahara desert the re-shot structure also known as the eye of the sahara is a strange series of concentric geological rings due to its remote location it's not easily observed curiously archaeological evidence points to early human activity in the area the re-shot structure's origins have long puzzled the scientific community with theories ranging from it being an impact crater to the lost city of atlantis wait mother of jefferson davis it's beautiful the current theory is that it was originally a naturally formed volcanic dome which collapsed long ago once thought to be the result of a meteor impact researchers now believe it was caused by a large dome of molten rock uplifting and once at the surface being shaped by wind and water into what we see today still the fact that its rings are equidistant and that it's so circular is a little unnerving number 7. devil's kettle minnesota usa in judge cr magney state park in minnesota there's a waterfall named devil's kettle the falls split into two with one side going further downstream and the other flowing into a hole in the rock attempts at throwing objects into the hole and looking for them further on have proven unsuccessful and the surrounding rock is not the type that usually forms underground passages u of m professor calvin alexander calls it a giant blender shredding whatever enters but where does it exit a recent theory holds that the objects thrown into the kettle are pulverized by the water pressure before they can reappear downstream since there's little loss in water volume the dnr said tuesday that hydrologists believe that water re-enters the river from underground not far downstream they concluded that because the water volume flowing over the two falls is nearly identical to the flow below them so the mystery water isn't flowing someplace else there are those who find fault with the theory however inviting us to wonder what's really happening at the devil's kettle there's still no real confirmation as to where the water goes once it goes in number 6. shania timpiska peru deep in the peruvian amazon there lies a very unusual river the shania tinbishka also called la bomba is unlike any river in the world for one simple reason it boils the river stretches nearly 4 miles long boils to over 200 degrees fahrenheit and is one of two geothermal systems in the world not attributed to volcanic activity the temperature of the water there ranges from 120 to 200 degrees fahrenheit it's hard to physically imagine that much hot water you stick your hand in and you will see second and third degree burns although there are other bodies of water that experience higher temperatures most of these others are located near volcanoes or substantial geothermal vents which the shania timpiska is not some of the leading theories involve a fault-led hydrothermal feature or even an oil field accident but for now the cause of the river's heat remains open to debate but again despite all of these studies all of these discoveries and the legends a question remains what is the significance of the boiling river number five crooked forest poland the chevela or crooked forest lies just outside graffino a town in poland a grove of pine trees the crooked forest true to its name consists of trees whose trunks are unusually bent towards the north shortly after they emerge from the ground although planted fairly recently if you can call 1930 recent there's no record or conclusive proof for why the trees are shaped like something out of a brother's grim fairy tale are you saying what i'm saying i most definitely am not theories abound with some believing a snowstorm could have bent them while others suggest human involvement to shape them like boat hulls the equipment and method used in the latter case is anyone's guess number four moguichang china mongichang roughly translates to city of the devil and that's a hauntingly apt name for this desolate desert region a huge stone formation resides here with shapes that resemble castles and demons as creepy and mysterious as these stones are what's even more spine tingling is the ambiance visitors report hearing a variety of eerie noises on the wind during sunny days it's said that music can be heard while cloudy days bring on the disturbing sounds of people in pain and wild beasts ghost enthusiasts are sure to get a kick out of the place but until science can explain this chilling phenomenon other tourists may want to steer clear number 3. kokomo hum indiana usa the city of firsts kokomo indiana may seem like any other city in the united states but there's an invisible force terrorizing the locals sound some residents have reported a persistent low-pitched humming noise in the town since 1999. the noise has been blamed for everything from headaches to nausea to joint pains one possible culprit is the nearby daimler chrysler plant and its huge large cooling towers you might not have to travel to kokomo to experience the hum however as reports from across the world have people experiencing similar symptoms is it a case of mass hysteria or is there something connecting these accounts it remains a disconcerting mystery oh god oh god oh god oh god number two fairy circles namibia the crop circles of the natural world fairy circles are bare circular patches of grass found in the desolate grasslands of namibia as well as in western australia the local people have ascribed the circle's creation to gods or spirits much like the similar phenomena of fairy rings which are found worldwide there's actually millions of them and in fact they can grow up to 65 feet in diameter and live up to 75 years scientists have no idea what the heck they are or how they're formed but they're nicknamed fairy circles more scientific explanations however include sand termites which have been found in and around most of them or else as a result of underground moisture competition among grasses some researchers suspect a highly poisonous bush of the euphorbia family they believe it contaminates the soil so badly that even after its death nothing can grow even a combination of plant and animal interactions has been considered but these uncanny circles have yet to be conclusively explained before we continue be sure to subscribe to our channel

five and a half million years movile cave has air with high levels of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide this has led to the evolution of at least 33 animals found nowhere else on earth over millions of years the creatures in this subterranean world have adapted to the conditions many of them are blind the skin is translucent in this dark place evolution has done away with all superfluities coming down here is like traveling back eons in the history of the earth scientists are particularly interested in studying the life found there as it could give clues as to what life on other planets could look like given the inherent danger of the environment access to the movielay cave is strictly controlled by the romanian government this is a dark world of sterile beauty which man enters at his peril do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from watchmojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified about our latest [Music] videos [Music] you
