Easter Island
Easter Island is one of the most mysterious places on Earth. This island lies close to the Chilean coast and though it is not infamous for disappearing people or even for any black magic, it is however home to some very huge statues that rise some fifty feet up into the air. What makes Easter Island so mysterious is that nobody knows for sure just who carved these statues and how they came to this island. There are a couple of hundred natives that live on Easter Island and though they may know the answer they won’t be able to communicate it to you.

Santa Cruz’s mysterious spot
Santa Cruz is well known for its numerous optical illusions but it also has a very mysterious spot in the form of a cabin that is truly very odd. What makes this cabin so odd is that as soon as you enter this cabin it will tip over in different directions. Even though it stands on flat and level surface nobody is able to explain why it tips over in different directions. In this mystery spot it becomes impossible to stand upright.

The Bermuda Triangle
The Bermuda Triangle is not only a very large area but it has never ever been photographed. It starts at the coast of Florida and covers a very large area. What makes this a mysterious place is the fact that numerous ships and planes have disappeared here over the last few hundred years. Some people attribute these disappearances to natural disasters while others think that the disappearances were because of some deep-rooted conspiracy. Nobody has a definitive answer as to why people and things disappear in the Bermuda Triangle.

Atlantis
Atlantis is so mysterious that all that we know of it is through what we see of it on a map. This map is from the time when continents were moving about in a bid to find a final resting place. It seems that Atlantis lies somewhere between America and Africa. Nothing is known about whether Atlantis was consumed by the waves or was combusted or even became part of another continent. The search for this mysterious place continues.

Blood Falls
Blood Falls is located in the Antarctica. What makes it so mysterious is the fact that you won’t be able to visit it in person. It can however be viewed through photographs which show blood red colored waterfall dotting the white colored Taylor Glacier. Nobody knows, including glaciologists and microbiologists, why this waterfall is blood red in color. Another thing that makes this very mysterious place is the fact that 1300 feet beneath all that ice live some microorganisms that are sustained by sulfur and iron in the water. According to expert glaciologists and microbiologists, the waterfall is red because the water itself contains a lot of iron, and it is this iron that turns the water red.

China To Conduct Another Lunar Mission

It is conventionally thought by many that the United States is the only country to conduct lunar missions. While this is the case in terms of sending people to the moon, other countries have sent unmanned probes to the moon to take pictures and collect samples.

Back in 2013, the Chinese government launched the Chang'e 3 Lander. It touched down on a place known as the Mare Imbrium. This has been a place of scientific interest, because it is thought that water may have once existed in these region of the moon.

While this mission has greatly expanded scientific knowledge when it comes to the moon's geology and history, there is still much to learned. The Chinese are planning to send another probe to the moon this year, in 2017. That is not to say that the current unmanned lunar robot is not functional, it is, but new instruments and modern gear must be sent up to gain a fuller understanding.

5 Mythical Creatures That Might Actually Exist

There are so many things and creatures on the surface of our planet earth itself that we are yet to know about. Just because we do not see something does not mean it does not exist. Various stories have come around some of these mythical creatures. Something like the following five creatures, which might or might not exist, but we cannot definitely say for sure just now. 

1 - Yeti: High up from the majestic Himalayan mountains, we hear stories about a mysterious creature who is larger than even the tallest of human beings, appears furry and snowy white, has an ape like appearance, and walks on two feet. This creature is commonly identified as the Abominable Snowman or the Yeti. As per the mountaineers from around the world and the local legends, Yeti has been routinely spotted in the snow-covered mountain tops in the Himalayan regions. Even though most of the scientists do not acknowledge its existence and consider Yeti to be a stuff of legends, various evidences such as the footsteps on the snow seem to suggest otherwise.

2 - Chupacabra: The “goat sucker” or the Chupacabra is another mysterious creature has been rumoured to have been spotted for the first time in Puerto Rico in the middle of the 90s. This creature who appears like a dog is thought to be between 3 to 5 feet tall. It has also been said to have a row of spikes going down on its back and it possess like those of an alien. It has vampire-like characteristics, as it supposedly sucks out the blood from its preys, which are mostly the small animals like the sheeps, goats, etc. It is rumoured to be either a product of a cross genetic experiment or an alien. Several claimed sightings have been reported since it was first said to have been seen.

 3 - Montauk Monster: The Montauk Monster is one of the strangest creatures that was spotted when it had washed up on a beach front on the western coast of USA in Montauk in July 2008. A photo of the 4-legged, nearly hairless, clawed animal generated a lot of interest and attention from people all over the world as it was spreading through the internet. Though most people considered it to be a hoax, there were those who thought it might be an unknown or even perhaps a genetically modified animal. The body of the creature, which came to be known as the Montauk Monster, mysteriously disappeared.

4 - Loch Ness Monster: Also called as Nessie, the monster of the Scottish lake of Loch Ness has been in the news ever since the year 1933, which was when it was first claimed to have been seen. Though there has been no conclusive evidence ever presented, people still believe in its existence and rumoured to have reported multiple sightings. It belongs to the group of mythical creatures whose stories never seem to end but are not conclusively proven either.

5 - Ogopogo: According to various accounts, Ogopogo looks very much like the Pokemon character, Pokemon Gyarados. Ogopogo is said to be the native of the Okanagan Lake in the Canada’s British Columbia region. Ogopogo was claimed to have been first sighted in the 19th century.

T. Rex Bit With More Force Than Previously Thought

While it was known that the jaws of tyrannosaurus were ridiculously strong, scientists have recently gained more insight into just how strong the jaws of this ancient dinosaur were.

A newly published study suggests that the T. Rex was capable of exerting nearly 8,000 pounds of force. It is thought that some parts of their teeth delivered up to 431,000 pounds of pressure per square inch.

Because of the immense amount of force and pressure delivered by the T. Rex, it is thought that the giant creature was able to bite straight through the bones of its prey. After pulverizing the bones of its prey, the Tyrannosaurus Rex then continued to not only digest the flesh, but also the bone itself. This would, in turn, allow the T. Rex to get the most nutrition out of a carcass.

If these findings are correct, then the T. Rex could bite more than twice as much as a crocodile in terms of bit force.

Loch Ness Monster Recently Spotted

The supposed Loch Ness Monster has recently been spotted within Loch Ness in Scotland. This sighting is one of many recent sightings, causing people to wonder what is causing this spike of sightings of the famous aquatic monster. Some people think that the Loch Ness Monster is really a plesiosaur that never went extinct. They propose that there are multiple plesiosaurs swimming within Loch Ness.

This video which was taken by tourists visiting Loch Ness, shows a mysterious object surfacing in the water. Many theories have arisen attempting to explain what the strange object was. Some come to the conclusion that this really was a genuine sighting of the Loch Ness Monster while others remain skeptical. Maybe it is simply a log floating in the water. What makes the video somewhat suspicious is the fact that a boat comes fairly close to the object and yet it stays afloat. You would think, if the mysterious object really was a living creature like the Loch Ness Monster, that upon seeing the boat it was immediately submerge. Watch the video and decide for yourself.
