While science has debunked it, the Bermuda Triangle still continues to evoke mystery.
Mount Vottovaara
Mount Vottovaara is a rock formation in the territory of the Sukkozero rural settlement in the southeastern part of the Muezersky district in Republic of Karelia’s central part. Also called the Russian Stonehenge, the mountain and its surroundings are very eerie, with their dry, twisted trees and strong stone blocks. There are no animals and plants in the place and no species of animal lives in the lake as well. This mystery is reportedly yet to be solved by scientists.
Devil’s Kettle Falls
The Devil’s Kettle, in Minnesota in the United States is a mysterious place. This waterfall is interesting since half of the river’s current disappears into the unknown.
