“The Door to Hell”


“The Door to Hell” is a place near a small town called Darvaz at Uzbekistan. It’s been said that before 35 years, geologists tried drilling this place for gas and unexpectedly while drilling they discovered an underground cave. This underground cave was so huge, that it swallowed all the drilling site equipments as it was very deep. After that incident, no one was willing to go down that cavern. So, they set fire to that cave so no poisonous gas escaped from that hole. Ever since, it is burning for 35 years without any break. People are wondering how many tons of excellent gas has been trapped inside that cave so that it burns still now. It remains still a mystery.

Mystery behind young women disappearance-Ted Bundy’s


Ted Bundy

In the year 1975, Elizabeth Kendall claimed to the investigators that she had information about a serial killer named ‘Ted’ as he was her lover.
Elizabeth Kendall had previously approached the King County, Seattle police to narrate her doubts concerning her boyfriend. She felt that there is a very good chance that her lover was the villainous "Ted" Killer, who was considered, had been behind several of murders and vanishings of young women in the Washington state area. When Ted went for Utah from Seattle, the mysterious series of deaths/disappearances had stopped, only to initiate in Salt Lake City shortly after Bundy arrived in town.
Elizabeth was clearly frightened and disturbed by the chance that her boyfriend may be a traveling serial killer; she agreed to provide the investigators with all the needed information about Ted. She explained that he would regularly sleep during the day and depart the apartment after dusk fell. He would have disappeared for long hours and would seldom be ready to share with her, she never knew about his whereabouts. She also observed that his interest in sex with her wane had declined during the last year. He was interested in bondage practices and how he had strangled her one time whilst she was tied to the bed. Bundy had apparently slipped into an unsettling spell-like state during that incident. Elizabeth after that did not permit him to tie her up again.
Elizabeth confided that he had a hatchet under his car-seat and also had a sack of female underwear in his room. Ted lived a dual life and had disguises. Elizabeth was very disturbed to find a plaster of paris kit in his bathroom cabinet. This is to confirm that “Ted” had been wearing a cast on his arm when he approached two women on 14 July at Lake Sammamish Park in Seattle. Janice Ott and Denise Naslund last seen in the company of the mysterious “Ted”, who were later reported missing.
Ted Bundy’s victims were Lynda Ann Healy(21),Donna Gail Manson(19),Susan Elaine Rancourt(18),Robert Kathleen(22),Brenda carol Ball(22),Georgeann Hawkins(18),Janice Ann Ott(23),Denise Marie Naslund(19),Unknown teenage hitchhiker, Nancy Wilcox(16),Melissa Anne Smith(17),Laura Aime(17),Carol DaRonch,Debra Kent(17),Caryn Campbell(23), Julie Cunningham(26),Denise Oliverson(25),Lynette Culver(13),Susan Curtis(15),Lisa Levy(20),Cheryl Thomas and Kimberly Leach(12). His victims were raped and were murdered brutally.

Kimberly Leach-Twelve year old

On January 24, 1989, 42-year-old Ted Bundy was executed by electrocution for the murder of Kimberly Leach – twelve year old girl. These were his last words "I'd like you to give my love to my family and friends." More than 2,000 volts were sent through his body for less than two minutes before he died and this was considered the highest punishment.

Mystery behind missing capstone – the Great Pyramid


While observing the Great Pyramid, you’ll observe its apex missing. It top won’t be pointed as it should be. The top part or capstone was the last thing to be placed while constructing the pyramid and also considered the most significant part of the pyramid. Usually the capstone will be highly decorated. The mystery is- Was the great pyramid always without a capstone or was it destroyed or stolen. The number of visitors who visited the pyramid from the ancient past even before Jesus Christ always reported that the pyramid was without the capstone. Maybe it is possible to think that that it was never finished. Looking at other possibility is that capstones might be made of gold and maybe looted. But the problem is that the capstone is usually very large in size. Thus, this capstone would have been huge and weighed a tremendous amount. On the peak you would observe something that looks flagstaff and this was actually placed there by two astronomers in 1874 to show where the Pyramid’s actual peak would have been if finished. No one is able to clarify why the Great Pyramid is built without a capstone.
Capstone

There is a fascinating story related with a visit to the top of the great pyramid. Tourists have climbed the peak as it is not so tough. Same way Sir Siemen’s, a British inventor, climbed to the top with some Arab guides. One of his guides explained the truth that he would hear an acute ringing noise, when he raised his hand with outspread fingers. Siemen tried the same trick by raising his index finger and felt a distinct prickling sensation. When he tried to drinking a bottle of wine, he felt an electric shock. As he was a scientist, Siemen dampened a newspaper and wrapped it around the wine bottle to convert it into a Leyden jar (an early form of a capacitor).Leyden jar became charged with electricity, when he held it above his head. The bottle started emitting Sparks. Frightened Arab guide assumed Siemen was up to some witchcraft and attempted to grab Siemen’s Leyden jar. When Siemen’s detected this, he pointed the bottle towards the Arab and gave him a shock that it blew the Arab to the ground rendering him unconscious. Recovered Arab took off down the pyramid shouting wildly. The peak of the Great Pyramid could create such an electo-static effect. I suggest many interesting experiments should be conducted on the top of the Great pyramid.

Mermaid Mystery


Existence of mermaid is a mystery even today. A mermaid is referred as fish woman and a mythological aquatic creature with a female human head and the tail of a fish. Mermaids are represented in many culture, folklore and literature. A strange series of Mermaid sightings off the West coast of Scotland in 1814 kindled the existence of mermaid. However, Scientists generally agree 'mermaid' form is biologically impossible and indicating that the legend of the Mermaid is most likely a legend.


The little mermaid is a cartoon depiction of a beautiful mermaid falling in love with the Prince. The Beginning mermaid stories appeared in Assyria, 1000 BC. It is been told that goddess Atargatis, mother of Assyrian queen Semiramis, loved a mortal shepherd and unintentionally killed him. She jumped into a lake to take the form of a fish as she was ashamed, but the waters could not conceal her divine beauty. Therefore, she took the form of a mermaid (human above the waist, fish below) though the earliest representations of Atargatis showed her as a fish with a human head and legs. Some say the lost kingdom of Atlantis had some survivors and they adapted themselves under the water as mermaid and merman.


Some Claimed sightings of dead/living mermaids have come from different places. Some fisherman who claims to have seen mermaid, describes mermaid to be “It is about six to seven feet in length, has a little black head, with neck, a snow white body and two arms, and in swimming it just appears like a human being. At times it will appear to be siding on a sunken rock, and will wave and work its hands." There were two Canadian reports from the area of Vancouver and Victoria, one from sometime between 1870 and 1890, the other from 1967. The town of Kiryat Yam in Israel offered a reward of Dollar1 million for anyone who could prove the existence of a mermaid off its coast, after dozens of people reported seeing a mermaid leaping out of the water like a dolphin and doing aerial tricks before returning to the depths. The existence of Mermaids still holds a mystery and a mystery yet to be solved.
