In the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, not far from Brazil, "floats" a charming green island, perfect for a vacation. If it weren't for its "locals," after whom the island is named Snake Island.

This is the only place where one of the most venomous snakes of our planet, the Botrops Island Snake, lives - its venom kills in seconds. Given the extinction of this species, the island was closed permanently in order to preserve the population of rare reptiles.

However, when imposing the ban, the authorities thought not only about the diverse "natives" inhabiting the island, but also about curious tourists. After all, a visit to this place can end up fatal - there is at least one snake per square meter!

According to legend, the reptiles were sent to the island by pirates to guard the treasure that they hid in the Keimada Grandi, but soon the "guards" became so numerous that it was impossible to enter the island. The treasure has not been found to this day. Open / Comment

2022-05-03 10:30:00 The Road to Nowhere, USA

In New Mexico, near Albuquerque, there is a highway that locals call "the road to nowhere."

This road literally swallows people. It leads to the San Mateo Mountains, where it ends.

At the bend, before the beginning of this mysterious section, there is a small café that tourists visit before they go on their further journey. Some of them leave and never return. Search operations yield no results.

"There's no turning off this road," says Patrolman Robert Kelly, "There's nothing around that seems dangerous. It's as if people are just vanishing into thin air..."

Many detectives, scientists and even psychics have tried to solve the mystery of the disappearance of people, but all their attempts have been in vain and the ill-fated road has received the epithet of the landed Bermuda Triangle.

A large gray quartzite stone lies on the bank of the Kimersha River in the Moscow region. It is surrounded by marshes and swamps, but it does not sink.

According to popular belief, the Shutov stone is one of the nine fragments of the mysterious Alatyr stone.

Legends tell us that "in times immemorial, a stone sailed down the river Kimershe to the people. He sailed against the stream and began to be revered by the people as sacred. Rituals began to be organized around it, and over time this boulder became famous as a healing and giving force."

To this day, those who suffer come to it, throwing coins and pouring water on it, which then becomes therapeutic.

2022-05-02 13:01:32 Sable Island, Canada

This small Canadian island is located in the Atlantic Ocean. Absolute solitude, sparse vegetation, miles of sand, hundreds of wild horses and hundreds of dead ships.

Sable is so called, "The Graveyard of the Atlantic." More than 350 shipwrecks have been reported here. The reason for this is the dense fog, flooded sandbanks around the island and a combination of sea currents.

The main aborigines of this piece of land are the feral horses, whose ancestors were brought back in the early 19th century, and a population of seals and harbor seals.

The island is also unique in its movements by as much as 200 meters per year. The fact is that the waves erode the western shore, and under the action of strong winds masses of sand are transferred to the eastern shore.

Now Sable Island is an amazing place with a strange origin and untouched beauty. For centuries, the island has fascinated and beckoned explorers, photographers, artists, and travelers from around the world. Open / Comment

2022-05-01 17:15:00 Route 666, U.S.

US 666 is an infamous road that stretches from north to south in the Four Corners region. It appeared in 1926 as the 6th branch of the famous Route 66.

"Devil's Highway" was notable for its high fatality rate and extremely ridiculous accidents. At first, tales of an unholy force along the route seemed to be just urban legends, but people kept dying.

The police received numerous complaints of strange glowing orbs, faceless fellow travelers who robbed you of your soul, possessed dogs that hunted travelers at dusk, and even of a ghostly killer driver who appeared out of nowhere and rammed cars into unsuspecting victims.
The reports were backed up by the testimony of frightened and injured eyewitnesses who managed to miraculously survive.

In 2003, the ominous route number was changed to "491." But you can still find outdated road signs with three sixes on some parts of the route. There is a belief that there is still evil near them... Open / Comment

2022-05-01 10:30:01 Kailash Temple (Kailash), India

The unique temple is located in the town of Ellora in the state of Maharashtra in western India and is remarkable because it is masterfully carved out of one huge rock!

This incredible architecture and fine work of bas-reliefs, sculptures and structures of the complex, was built over 150 years with the help of 7 thousand workers. Its dimensions are simply grandiose - the area is twice that of the Parthenon in Athens, and in height - exceeds it by 1.5 times.

The temple of Kailas, dedicated to the god Shiva, is also known for its unique vertical excavations. That is, the workers began to carve the temple out of stone, starting from its top and gradually descending lower...

2022-04-30 17:15:00 Shiprock Rock, USA

Shiprock is a rock located in northwestern New Mexico. The Navajo tribes have always considered this place sacred.

Indians say that the once peaceful tribe who lived here was constantly raided by enemies. The shamans prayed every day to the spirits to give them salvation, and one day the land beside them rushed to the sky like a bird, allowing them to climb up and live in safety. Thus Tse bitai, which means "The Wrapped Stone," came into being.

Nowadays, extreme climbers, obsessed with the desire to visit the sacred peak, sometimes come to Shiprock. Some of them succeed in the ascent, but most part with their lives.
It is said that the "winged stone" itself decides who has the honor to climb it and who is destined to die.
