As the
famous playwright William Shakespeare noted in his play Hamlet, “There
are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your
philosophy”. With these words Shakespeare hits the nail on the head –
the most weirdest things are very often found in real life rather than
our imaginations. Nothing sums this up more than the spine-chilling and
downright creepy places that have fascinated us throughout history. We
round up the ten most mysterious of them here:

Lake Anjikuni
This spooky place was once the site of a thriving Inuit village before
the whole village disappeared unexpectedly! In 1930 a local trapper
named Joe Labelle headed to the village which he knew well, looking for
shelter for the night. When he got there, all the villagers had
disappeared but left all their homes and possessions behind. No bodies
were found and with reports of strange lights over the village the night
before LaBelle arrived, it is a mystery not yet solved. |

Bigelow Ranch
Found in America, this Utah based ranch has been the scene of many a
strange happening over the years. Reports range from animal mutilation
to UFO sightings and it seems there is something about the place that is
super creepy. Now owned by Robert Bigelow of the National Institute for
Discovery Science, the former owners sold it to him as they couldn’t
take anymore. |

Point Pleasant
Anyone who has seen the movie ‘The Mothman Prophecies’ will be familiar
with our next location. A small community in West Virginia, numerous
local inhabitants claimed to have seen a creature called ‘The Mothman’.
With red eyes, large wings and standing 7 feet tall, the creature
terrorised the area before vanishing after the collapse of the Silver
Bridge in 1967 and has never been seen again to this day. |

San Luis Valley
This valley in Colorado, USA has been the venue for many strange an
unusual UFO sightings over the years. This is in addition to the many
farm animal mutilations local farmers have reported the morning after
the sightings in the sky. It has become so common that a UFO watchtower
has been erected there to keep a permanent eye on what is happening. |

Superstition Mountains
Close behind the Bermuda Triangle come this mountain range in Phoenix,
Arizona. It is thought by the Apache Indians that the entrance to Hell
is located here and little people called ‘Tuar-Tums’ live in the caves
and passages below it. It is certainly an eerie place and one that you
probably wouldn’t want to be alone in at night!
