Everyone has heard of the Bermuda Triangle and the mysteries that surround it. Theories about this area range from reasonable to just plain ridiculous, but whether you believe it’s the site of time warps, alien abductions, or just plain paranoia, it certainly abounds with strangeness. It’s not the only place you can find creepy things happening, however — here are 5 places on Earth with their fair share of mysteries:
The Brine Pool, located in the Gulf of Mexico, is an area underwater that has been nicknamed the ‘Jacuzzi of Death’ for its ability to kill any human or animal that goes in it. The Brine Pool has extremely high levels of salt in combination with other toxic chemicals that would result in burning to death upon entry.
Cape of Good Hope Also knows as the ‘Cape of Storms’. Notorious for its violently stormy conditions, huge waves of over five meters as well as wind speeds in excess of 30 knots make sailing around the rocky headland which sits between the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans a perilous task. Freak waves make sailing difficult, unpredictable cross currents even more so.
THE BLUE HOLE
If you're ever traveling along the coast of the Red Sea, be sure to check out the Blue Hole, one of the most beautiful diving sites in the world. It's also one of the deadliest so you know, wear a helmet or something.
The Blue Hole is a cave that's about one-hundred and thirty meters deep with an opening about six meters deep. Lovingly referred to as “diver's cemetery,” some view the hole as a sort of trap for divers because of how easy it is to miss. A tunnel connecting the cave to open water lies well beneath the recommended diving limit of forty meters. This is particularly dangerous because nitrogen narcosis, which creates a numbed feeling similar to alcohol consumption, regularly occurs at thirty meters and only increases as you go deeper.
But because Mother Nature is a dick, the archway connecting the Blue Hole to open waters isn't quite what it appears to be. Divers have reported that the odd angle of the opening makes it appear shorter than it actually is. People expecting a quick swim through find themselves swimming against a surprise current from the open water, and several divers have died trying to use the bottom of the tunnel as a reference because they didn't realize the bottom of the cave runs absurdly deep.
According to Egyptian authorities the site has only claimed forty lives since they've started keeping track, but locals insist that the number is being misreported intentionally.
