    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 its

    the site of time warps, alien abductions, or just plain paranoia, it certainly abounds withstrangeness. Its not the only place you can find creepy things happening, howeverhere

    are 10 other places on Earth with their fair share of mysteries:

    The Superstition Mountainsare a mountain range located east of Phoenix, Arizona.

    Already its off to a great start with the name.

    According to legend, sometime in the 1800s a man named Jacob Waltz discovered a huge

    goldmine within the mountains that has since been dubbed the Lost Dutchmans Gold

    Mine (because Waltz was German, and eh, close enough). He kept the location a secret

    until his deathbed, upon which he may or may not (depending on which version of the

    story youre reading) have told a single person the secret. Regardless, the mine has never

    been found, in spite of many expeditions. Some say the spirits of people whove lost their

    lives in search of the gold still haunt the mountains.

    One reportedly Native American legend goes that the treasures of the mountains are

    guarded by creatures called Tuar-Tums (Little People) that live below the mountains in

    caves and tunnels. Some Apaches believe that the entrance to hell is located in the

    mountains. This is, of course, ridiculous, as we all know the entrance to hell is in

    Sunnydale.

    Its an area centered just a bit off the coast of Brazil, and its responsible for numerous

    problems with satellites and spacecraft, from messing up their programs to actually

    shutting down their function. The Hubble Telescope is actually turned off from taking

    observations when passing through the Anomaly, and the International Space Station

    avoids scheduling spacewalks when passing through it (which happens up to 5 times a

    day). Its not just technical problems, eithersome astronauts report seeing shooting

    stars in their visual field as they pass through.

    The cause of all these problems isnt fully understood. The main suspect is the high levels

    of radiation that accumulate at the anomaly, but scientists arent sure exactly how or why

    the effects occur. So lets just pin this one on aliens.

    Lake Anjikuni

    Not content with just a few individuals disappearing, Lake Anjikuni decided to take things

    to the next level and provide the locale for the disappearance of an entire village. It all

    happened in November 1930, when a trapper named Joe Labelle was looking for shelter for

    the night. Labelle was familiar with the Inuit village, whose population ranges from 30-

    2000, depending on who you believe. He made his way there and found quite an eerie

    scenethe villagers were nowhere to be found. Everything else, including food and rifles,

    had been left behind.

    http://listverse.com/2013/05/10/10-places-as-mysterious-as-the-bermuda-triangle/ 5

    Labelle telegraphed the RCMP and an investigation began. In the Village Burial Ground it

    was discovered that at least one (sources vary) grave had been opened, clearly not by

    animals, and emptied. Furthermore, about 300 feet from the village, the bodies of around 7

    sled dogs were found, having starved to death despite open stores of food at the village.

    Some versions of the story even report strange lights being seen above the lake around

    the time of the disappearance.

    So what really happened? There have been all sorts of claims about the cause for the

    disappearance, including aliens (of course), ghosts, and even vampires. The RCMPs own

    website disregards the story as an urban legend, but with so many versions of it floating

    around from so many years ago, its hard to be certain. Except about the vampires, I think

    we can be certain it wasnt vampires.

    7The Devils Sea

    The Devils Sea (or Dragons Triangle, take your pick of which sounds more ominous) is an

    area of the Pacific Ocean as riddled with strange happenings as its Atlantic counterpart

    near Bermuda. Located off the coast of Japan, its been the site of countless claims of

    unexplained phenomena including magnetic anomalies, inexplicable lights and objects, and

    of course, mysterious disappearances. The area is even considered a danger by Japanese

    fishing authorities.

    One story has it that in 1952 the Japanese government sent out a research vessel, the Kaio

    Maru No. 5, to investigate the mysteries of the Devils Sea. Naturally, of course, the Kaio

    Maru No. 5 and its crew of 31 people were never seen again. Another story tells of Kublai

    Khans disastrous attempts to invade Japan by crossing the Devils Sea, losing at least 40

    000 men in the process.

    The usual theories abound for whats really going on: from aliens, to gates to paralleluniverses, even to Atlantis (because why not). Some suggest that high volcanic activity in

    the region is responsible for some of the disappearances (the Kaio Maru No. 5 may have

    been caught in an eruption). Our advice? Just stay out of the ocean, period.

    6Bigelow Ranch

    Bigelow Ranch(formerly known as Skinwalker Ranch and Sherman Ranch) is a 480-acre

    property in northwest Utah that is home to countless UFO sightings, animal mutilations,

    and other strange occurrences. Though mysterious happenings have been documented

    http://listverse.com/2013/05/10/10-places-as-mysterious-as-the-bermuda-triangle/ 7

    since the 50s, some of the most bizarre stories happened to a pair of ranchers named

    Terry and Gwen Sherman after they bought it in 1994.

    The first day they moved on to the property, they saw a large wolf out in the pasture. They

    even went to pet the wolf as it seemed tame (to the curious reader, yes, this is always a

    good idea). It was docile with the Shermans, but ended up grabbing a calf by the snout

    through the bars of its enclosure. When Terry shot at the wolf with a pistol, the bullets hadno effect. It finally left after Terry brought out the shotgun, though even that didnt do any

    actual damage. The Shermans tried tracking the wolf, but its tracks stopped abruptly as if

    it had vanished.

    And that wasnt the end of things. The Shermans were constantly plagued by such events

    as UFO sightings, intelligent floating orbs (reputed to have incinerated three of their dogs),

    inexplicable cryptids, and gruesome cattle mutilations. It got so bad that the Shermans

    actually sold their ranch to Robert Bigelow in 1996, the founder of the National Institute for

    Discovery Science, who wanted to study the mysteries surrounding the ranch. Bigelow

    owns the ranch to this day and NIDS keeps a tight lid on their findings.

    5Point Pleasant

    http://listverse.com/2013/05/10/10-places-as-mysterious-as-the-bermuda-triangle/ 8

    Point Pleasant was probably aptly named at one point, but it is now so shrouded in tales

    of mysterious and creepy events as to be nothing but an ironic alliteration. The most

    famous of these events involves a creature known as Mothman, who reputedly terrorized

    the small West Virginia community from November 1966 to December 1967. Over a

    hundred different citizens of Point Pleasant are eyewitnesses to this creature, a 7-foot tall

    broad chested man with hypnotic, glowing red eyes, and wings that stretch 10 feet long

    and drag behind him on the ground.

    The Mothman, whos been the subject of both a book and a movie (and who has his own

    statue in Point Pleasant), has many possible explanations. Some believe him to be anextraterrestrial, others a mutant or a cryptid, and some suggest the people of Point

    Pleasant were actually being scared by owls or a Sandhill Crane. Whatever the case,

    reports of Mothman stopped after the Silver Bridge collapsed on December 15, 1967, killing

    46 people and leading many to believe that the two events were somehow connected.

    In addition to Mothman, several other paranormal tales from Point Pleasant include UFO

    sightings and reports of so-called Men In Blackhuman looking creatures who unnerve

    others by the sheer abundance of peculiarities in their speech, appearance, and

    mannerisms. These men supposedly appear looking for information about the

    paranormal (or rather, people who have this information).

    Michigan Triangle

    The Michigan Triangle is another geographical triangle, located in the middle of Lake

    Michigan. It, too, is the site of mysterious disappearances of both land and sea craft. Some

    of the more famous ones include:

    Captain Donner: On April 28, 1937, Captain George R. Donner of the O.M. McFarland was on

    his way from Erie, Pennsylvania, to Port Washington, Wisconsin, and had to pass through

    the triangle. As the story goes, he was exhausted and retired to his cabin, leaving the

    second mate to wake him when they neared their destination. About three hours later,

    when the second mate went to do so, Donner was not in his cabin. Nor was he in the

    galley. An exhaustive search of the ship was conducted, but he was never found.

    Flight 2501: On June 23, 1950, Northwest Airlines Flight 2501was on its way from New

    York to Minneapolis at the hands of experienced pilot Robert C. Lind, and was carrying 58

    passengers. Due to bad weather, when the flight was near Chicago it changed course and

    turned over Lake Michigan. Around midnight, Lind requested permission to drop altitude

    from 3500 ft to 2500 ft, without ever specifying a reason. His request was denied, and that

    was the last communication Flight 2501 ever had. Its last known position was supposedly

    within the Michigan Triangle.

    While sources vary as to what amount of wreckage of Flight 2501 has been found (some

    say nothing, whereas others specify assorted floating debris such as seat cushions and

    the like), it seems clear that the plane crashed into the water. Mysterious, however, is thatthe plane was in perfectly good condition and in capable hands at the time of the

    disappearance. Whats more, despite searches still being conducted annually, neither the

    body of the plane nor complete human remains have ever been recovered.

    3San Luis Valley

    San Luis Valley, in southern Colorado, is an area high in inexplicable phenomena including

    UFO sightingsand hundreds of unexplained farm animal mutilations. UFO sightings are

    so common that a woman named Judy Messoline has even set up a UFO watchtower onher property, which has witnessed over 50 UFO sightings since 2000 alone. Some of these

    are observed by dozens of people at a time.

    For the UFO skeptics out there, far more chilling are the tales of animal mutilations from

    the region. They began in 1967, with a horse named Snippy. Snippy was found one morning

    with her brain missing, and her neck bones completely cleaned. Since then, hundreds if not

    thousands of inexplicable animal mutilations have occurred in the region, sharing several

    things in commonfirstly, there is never a trace of blood around the animals, and

    secondly, the animals are all damaged with precise cuts, distinctly not the work of

    predators. Finally, all of the mutilations happen overnight to otherwise healthy creatures.

    Investigations into the incidents havent wielded any results, yet they continue to this day.

    Some farmers report seeing strange lights in the sky the nights before finding a carcass,

    leading some to believe that extraterrestrials are involved. Though its hard to imaginealiens caring so much about farm animals in Colorado, the alternative isnt much more

    appealingthat humans are the so-called Phantom Surgeons of the Plains. Personally,

    Id rather it was aliens.

    2Bennington Triangle

    Oh look, another triangle. This one is found in southwestern Vermont, and is the site of a

    string of 5 mysterious disappearances between 1945-1950, related in no way but

    geographic location. These include:

    Middie Rivers, 75 years old, was out leading a group of hunters on November 12, 1945. On

    their way back, he got ahead of his group and was never seen again. Only a single rifle shell

    http://listverse.com/2013/05/10/10-places-as-mysterious-as-the-bermuda-triangle/ 12

    found in a stream was recovered as evidence.

    Paula Welden was an 18 year old sophomore of Bennington College who was out hiking on

    December 1, 1946. She never returned and no trace of her was ever found.

    Exactly 3 years later, on December 1, 1949, a veteran named James E. Tetford was taking a

    bus back to his home at the BenningtonSoldiers Home, returning from a visit with

    relatives. Witnesses saw him on the bus the stop before this, but when the bus arrived at

    his destination he was nowhere to be seen. His luggage was still on the bus.

    Eight year old Paul Jepson disappeared on October 12, 1950, while his mother was busy

    feeding the pigs. Despite having a highly visible red jacket, none of the search parties

    formed were able to find the boy.

    The last disappearance was a woman named Frieda Langer. On October 28, 1950, she was

    hiking with her cousin on Glastenbury Mountain when she slipped in a stream. Shedecided to go back quickly and change her clothes, and, if youve been paying attention so

    far, youll surmise that she was never seen again. Well, not exactlyshes the only victim

    whose body was ever recovered, though it was only found on May 12, 1951 (about 6

    months later), in an area that had been thoroughly searched after her disappearance. The

    body was in such a mangled shape that no cause of death could be determined.

    Though many theories abound, including aliens, bigfoot-like monsters, or some unknown

    serial killer, theres one thing we know for sure: its a good idea to stay the hell away from

    triangles.

    1Bridgewater Triangle

    No, seriouslystay away from triangles. Especially this one. The Bridgewater Triangle,

    an area of about 200 square miles in Southeastern Massachusetts just south of Boston, is

    like an all you can eat buffet of the supernatural.

    Among other things, the area has been subject to numerous cryptozoological sightings.

    Since the 1970s there have been several reports of tall, hairy, ape-like creatures roaming

    the swamp. There have also been numerous sightings of Thunderbirds, giant Pterodactyl-

    like creatures that have been seen fighting in midair. In 1976 there was a report of a man

    who saw a giant, ghostly, red-eyed dog rip the throats out of two of his ponies.

    Besides these cryptids, there have been numerous reports of mutilated animals (mainly

    cows and calves) in the region. Some credit these mutilations to satanic cults, but no one

    has come forward and no one even knows where the animals came from.

    As if all this werent enough, the Bridgewater Triangle is a hotbed of UFO sightings, dating

    all the way back to 1760, when a sphere of fire was reportedly seen hovering over New

    England. Since then there have been numerous sightings of unexplained objects in the sky

    including mysterious black helicopters. One from 1976 describes two UFOs landing along

    Route 44 near the city of Taunton, and another from 1994 recounts a strange triangular

    object with red and white lights seen by a Bridgewater Law Enforcement Officer. In 1908 on

    Halloween night, two undertakers who were traveling to Bridgewater noticed in the sky

    what looked like a giant lantern. They watched it for almost 40 minutes before it

    disappeared.

    Bermuda isnt looking so bad anymore.

    Looking at historical statistics the Bermuda Triangle actually has LESS shipping losses

    than average. This despite the fact that is a highly trafficked area with many shipping lanespassing through it (which you would think would mean more losses).

    In other words, the Bermuda Triangle is pure, overblown, media hype.

    Tim Marshall

    Exactly. It seems like that is the case with all the other so-called triangles around the

    world, too. It's all hype. All it takes is a couple of high-profile instances of seemingly

    strange happenings and then people go back and look around and make other

    discarded everything that didn't fit into their theory, which would show that there's

    nothing all that special or different than any other area.

    dfizzo

    Not to mention that ANY "myterious" occurence that seems to occur

    anywhere in the North Atlantic gets tied to the Bermuda Triangle.

    Case in point, the Mary Celeste, while certainly a bizarre and mysterious

    occurrence was never anywhere NEAR the Bermuda Triangle.

    SKAN ONE

    it isnt how many its the supposed unusual nature of the incidents

    Swaggzilla

    It's honestly just the fact that the disappearances are so weird. Like, in 1872 there

    was ship that was set for Florida and it was found years later in perfect condition,

    but no crew. and there was no record the crew ever made it back home or TO their

    destination. No life boats or anything that they could use. So unless something

    made them decide to jump off their ship and drown themselves, i dont know how

    you explain that. And even if you think thats the answer, what made them jump off

    the boat?

    Wow you should make a list.

    JRoe

    Humans in general make shit up. Islam and Christianity didn't start in the U.S....lol.

    REl3EL

    I know, and from my time reading lists on this website, I would say the

    evidence suggests that americans like, and are maybe good at making

    things up. That is not to say other other regions of the world are not also.

    inconspicuous detective

    because the dragon's triangle is in america. i see you're a geography scholar.

    REl3EL

    No, because it doesn't exist you retard.

    inconspicuous detective

    i may be a retard, then again out of the two of us i'm the only one who

    can read, moron.

    REl3EL

    I knew what I meant, anyway I apologise for calling you a retard,

    which I didn't mean.

    inconspicuous detective

    i know what you meant as well, but things like that are easily twisted

    to make sarcastic comments. don't apologize either, that's stupid.

    apologies solve nothing and serve only as bandaids to bleeding

    wounds. instead change things so people tell you they appreciate it. if

    you're unaware of what i mean, back up your statements and/or write

    a list about american fabrications. our government alone can provide

    you with all the material you need to "prove" americans love to make

    stuff up.

    p.s. don't apologize for things you believe in either. then you're just

    weak. though i assure you i am no retard.

    REl3EL

    Man you take the comments section seriously don't you. Been here along time?

    inconspicuous detective

    i don't take it particularly seriously, the above is something i do in real

    life. if i believe i'm right and offend someone or get into a

    fight/arguement, they don't get an "i'm sorry" later because they

    should figure it out on their own why it happened. if i don't apply that

    everywhere, i'm making exceptions and not truely acting like myself.so it applies here.

    some issues do arise in these comments between myself and

    educated or respected members of the site, and i do take some

    issues here seriously such as gun control (i've been through that

    song and dance with one very intelligent listverse member a few

    times). however for the most part i like to make controversial

    statements that i believe to be true or sarcastic comments like the

    inital one i made to you, most people have fairly amusing and

    sometimes very well thought out responses.

    i've been an avid reader of listverse for what? 3 years or more and a

    commenter (a heavy commenter recently, like past few months) for

    like a year and a half.

    He takes it more seriously than you can imagine. This guy is

    singlehandedly the most desperate commenter on this entire

    up is stupid and insulting. Even science doesn't have an explanation for some of

    these but still agree something is happening there. It must suck not beeing able to

    step out of your comfort zone and look at the world with an open mind.

    REl3EL

    Ok so according to you my default position on every god fearing american

    that says they saw "a 7ft mothman with hypnotic glowing red eyes" should

    be to believe them... No thanks

    hunt

    Nope, just means that you should keep an open mind. Not discarding

    or accepting any idea. But i guess thats whatever.

    Swaggzilla

    I'm sure whatever country you're from makes up just as many stories

    as America. if not more.

    Joee

    Correction: People in general like to make stuff up. I don't why you had to

    emphasize America in this comment and some of the others below......

    Monkey Fever

    Thats not true and we arent all like that. I hate how all the stupid Americans make

    people like you laugh at me for always believing in conspiracies and paranormal.

    Although once I was driving and saw a bright light and it disappeared. I went back

    home and my wife said "Where have you been for 5 days!?". I didnt understand, but

    I looked in the mirror and I had a five day old beard. Apparently the aliens abducted

    me, cleared my memory, then stuck me back in my car.

    REl3EL

    I had a similar experience but instead of a bright light i saw alcohol, which I

    made disappear.

    You may think I am out of line for saying this but that would just go to

    prove that I am right in my opinion that you have no imagination, live
