In the heart of Sorrento, at the bottom of the gorge that divides the city into two parts, there are the ruins of a medieval town whose "highlight" was the water mills. Hence the name of the valley - Valle dei Mulini.

The walls of the old mill are almost ruined, the wheel is overgrown with moss - in the middle of the modern city it is like a fragment of another world.

Perhaps that's why the Valley of the Mills is one of the favorite attractions of fans of mysticism. They believe that the mill has otherworldly inhabitants. Allegedly, laughter can sometimes be heard from the gorge, and strange lights can be seen from the windows of the building.

House No. 525 on Winchester Boulevard in San Jose has a bad reputation. There are 160 rooms and six kitchens on three floors. Yet many of the doors lead to a dead end, the stairs go to the ceiling, and the windows go to the floor. The house is a maze!

Sarah Winchester created this architectural "wonder". Her father-in-law made weapons, for which, in the woman's opinion, a curse was put on their family.

On the advice of a medium, she built a house for the souls of people whose lives were taken by old man Winchester's inventions. Rumor has it that house number 525 is actually haunted. But even without them, the grim layout gives visitors the chills.

An anomalous desert on the border of Durango, Chihuahua, and Coahuila where it is impossible to receive and register radio and sound signals. Receivers go dead, the compass does not work, and clocks stop.

Scientists have tried several times to determine the cause of the anomalies, but their conclusions are roughly as follows: something is suppressing the radio waves.

The area, also nicknamed the "Sea of Tethys" after an ancient ocean, has been associated with many mysterious incidents, from disappearing planes and falling rockets to reports of strange travelers leaving scorched grass behind them and UFO landings.

2022-04-11 17:15:00 Sanzhi, Taiwan

Sanzhi was supposed to be the city of the future.

The luxury residential complex consists of futuristic houses shaped like "flying saucers. Each of the "saucers" has an elegant staircase, and to go down from the second floor, according to the architects' idea, you can go straight into the ocean or pool on the waterslide.

Huge sums of money were allocated for the construction. But the company, which was building Sanzhi, went bankrupt, and the accidents at the construction site gave rise to unkind rumors.

The complex was completed, but the publicity could no longer change the fame of the "cursed place." The city was abandoned. The authorities wanted to demolish it, but the locals are against it. They believe that Sanzhi is a haven for lost souls.

2022-04-10 17:15:00 Nazca Lines, Peru

The Nazca Plateau is crisscrossed like a canvas with gigantic patterns. A hummingbird, a monkey, a spider, flowers, a lizard, geometric figures - there are about 30 neat drawings in one style in the valley.

Geoglyphs on the Nazca Plateau were discovered almost a century ago, but scientists are still arguing about who, how and when created them.

Some believe that it is an ancient irrigation system, others believe that they are "holy Inca trails," others argue that it is the oldest astronomy textbook on Earth.

There is also an absolutely mystical version, as if the lines are a message from aliens. There are many theories, but none of them is scientifically confirmed.

2022-04-09 17:15:00 Troll Tongue, Norway

Trolltunga, or Troll Tongue, is an unusual rock ledge at an altitude of 350 meters on Mount Skjeggedal.

Why a tongue? And why a troll? According to an old legend in Norway, in those places lived a troll, who was constantly tested fate: diving into deep pools, jumping over chasms. One day he decided to test whether it was true that the sun's rays were deadly for trolls.

At dawn he stuck his tongue out of his cave and... he was petrified forever.

The rock like a magnet attracts modern adventurers: to sit on the edge, to do somersaults, to take pictures. The troll is gone, but his cause lives on!

2022-04-09 10:30:02 Whale Alley, Russia

There is an ancient Eskimo sanctuary on the Chukchi island of Itigran. Huge bones and skulls of whales are dug into the frozen shore. The alley was discovered in 1977, but its mysteries are still not solved.

There is speculation that in the fourteenth century this place was used by whalers for ritual rendezvous. Judging by the multitude of "meat pits", the gatherings were accompanied by feasts, and the holes in the tops of whale "pillars" suggest that, perhaps, the whalers also arranged games, hanging prizes on the dice.

But in folklore there is no information about the purpose of the alley. But there is a legend about a battle of "flying shamans" that took place there.
