these places prove that there are more
things in heaven and earth than are
dreamt of in your philosophy
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
mysterious places on earth
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
well be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
real places that are shrouded in secrecy
and/or are associated with the unknown
or the unexplained there’s no way we
hope not at all for all I’ll have the
police come in arrest you if you don’t
number 10 the Alaskan triangle also
known as Alaska’s Bermuda Triangle might
help make sure you had a face spanning
the vast southeastern reaches of the
Alaskan wilderness up to its mountain
ranges an unusual number of hikers boats
and planes vanish here without a trace
in fact the state of Alaska has not only
twice the American national average of
people reported missing but also the
lowest statistics for people found we
talk about this when I get back from
Alaska is it the unforgiving weather
wild animals and mint uncharted terrain
or something more sinister
the indigenous blanket people tell
stories of a shape-shifting being called
Koosh taka meaning land otter man who
mimics the screams of children to lure
unwary travelers to their deaths others
blame Bigfoot or propose that the area
is a vile vortex like the Bermuda
Triangle linked to electromagnetic
aberration to reduce it to simplified
terms they were the weather was just
plain rotten number 9 the stony Tunguska
River also known as the pot common
niacin Jeff Gerber in 1908 an explosion
1000 times greater than the nuclear bomb
dropped on Hiroshima tore through the
air over Siberia witnesses reported a
column of bluish light as the sky seemed
to split in half and catch fire
it’s called Tunguska event and it was a
comet or a meteor or something like that
the blast sent a shockwave but not
people off their feet and flattened 770
square miles of forest top
an estimated 80 million trees when the
first expedition arrived to investigate
native guides would not enter the impact
zone fearing people they called the
valley men scientific consensus
attributes the blast to the explosion of
a meteorite in midair leading some to
blame natural gas or even a collision
with alien spacecraft potato LT all
scientists Anika’s explosion a given
design must furnish floor number eight
the devil C also known as the dragon’s
triangle and the Pacific Bermuda
Triangle this is a region of the Pacific
Ocean that south of Japan where several
ships have disappeared notably the
Japanese research vessel kayo Maru
number five in the early 1950s sailors
have reported problems with electronic
instruments and sightings of unmanned
ghost ships
American author and linguist Charles
Berlitz
made the area around Miyake Island
famous with his book the dragon’s
triangle in 1989 although authorities
claim the kayo Maru was destroyed by
natural forces while the crew was
investigating the eruption of an
underwater volcano Berlitz attributed
the incident to unknown supernatural
forces and even blamed the dragon
triangle for the disappearance of
aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart Earhart
this is Itasca
did you receive transmission number
seven island of the dolls also known as
Isla de las Monica as you navigate this
creepy island just south of Mexico City
thousands of small unblinking eyes watch
your passage foam or jaws the island is
actually man-made dating all the way
back to the floating gardens of Aztec
times as legend has it owner who Leon
Santana Barrera found a little drowned
girl in the canal and a doll floating
close by which he hung in a tree is a
sign of respect but shortly following
this act he started to hear whispers
footsteps and screams following him in
the dark Santana Barrera spent the next
half century hanging dolls to pacify the
grow spirit he found the dolls in the
canals and in the trash
he started hanging them up to protect
him and to try to scare away the spirit
of the girl when he died in 2001 his
body was eerily found in the same
thought he’d found the drowned girl
number six the Nazca lines the lines
themselves directed you farther east
some 2,000 years ago hundreds of complex
geoglyphs were carved into the desert
sands of southern Peru I always thought
that they brought the rocks here and
that they had to build these shed
composed of thousands of lines the
geometric figures and animal and plant
designs cover arid plateau south of Lima
more than 50 miles in size how are such
complex designs created without aerial
technology why did these people create
shapes in the soil that are only visible
from the air or hilltops while scholars
claim the lines were constructed using
simple surveying equipment others
speculate the use of hot-air balloons or
that the lines were once alien airfields
various other uses have been proposed
from religious symbolism to astronomical
calendars to irrigation but their
ultimate purpose remains unknown they
must be some kind of message but it’s a
message can’t understand number five
North Sentinel island the isolated
Indians are being forced into ever
smaller region an isolated indigenous
tribe has lived on this island in the
Bay of Bengal for an estimated 60,000
years fringed by perilous reefs the
island is difficult to reach and both
the do land are met with a hail of
arrows
[Music]
as a result little is known about the
Sentinelese their language is
unclassified and population estimates
range from fifty to four hundred during
one failed expedition as tensions rose
between locals and anthropologists
cornered on the reefs some of the
indigenous women made off with warriors
and proceeded to have sex on the beach
what are the beliefs and customs of the
Sentinelese what do they think of our
metal ships and flying machines this
type believes in total isolation it will
not tolerate this finger number for the
Michigan triangle
it’s been known to actually chase
vessels and try to capture them often
compared to the Bermuda Triangle this
region in Lake Michigan is the site of
numerous maritime and aviation disasters
particularly notorious is the strait
linking Lake Michigan and Green Bay
known as port Dame or or death’s door
which is littered with shipwrecks thanks
to hidden shoals and unpredictable winds
but the most famous incident was the
crash of Northwest orient Airlines
flight 2501 in 1950 which killed all 58
passengers and crew and was the worst
airline accident to happen in the United
States to that point therein lies much
of the mystery why was this plane so far
off its course only light debris and
human body fragments were recovered
although mass burial sites were recently
discovered in local cemeteries annual
searches for the wreckage continued dan
peace and the search team has been
hunting Lake Michigan for the planes
debris number three Easter Island 887
monolithic stone statues watch over this
remote Pacific island carved by the Rapa
Nui people as early as the Year 1250
most of these silent sentinels line the
coast with their backs to the sea what
compels people to build and transport
such giant figures some of which weigh
over 80 tons while oral histories
recount that the statues walked into
place of their own volition scholars
have proposed various theories including
that they were moved by rocking their
bases back and forth
scholars speculate that the statues
represent deified ancestors but the
island stone guardians could not protect
the Rapa Nui people whose population has
been greatly abolished by deforestation
European diseases and Peruvian flavors
number two
Stonehenge who built it how was it built
and why this is the name given to a ring
of standing stones around five thousand
years old that are surrounded by
hundreds of ancient burial mounds in
Wiltshire England scholars have debated
the significance of Stonehenge for
decades these are some special stones
how did prehistoric people transport the
giant stone some from Hills 150 miles
away hypotheses includes long tracks of
logs plays on greased tracks and of
course alien oh and let’s not forget
Merlin or giant opinions also differ as
to the site’s function what did a burial
site a place of healing for an
astronomical observatory according to
the Royal College of Art researchers the
blue stones have quote unusual acoustic
properties ringing when struck which was
often associated in ancient cultures
with mystical properties I believe this
is a meeting place to connect with the
ancestors I am utterly convinced the
stones are linked to the ancestors
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions I’d say
20 seconds walking into the screaming
woods we hear what sounds like a scream
from way back deeper into the woods
rumor has it there is a secret base
hidden underneath the Archuleta Mesa
cure the mountain overlooks Dulce some
people in town say the base is won by
aliens working with our federal
government to conduct mind-control and
genetic experiments yeah each go stop
come up dead
[Music]
number one area 51 and that my dear
earthling is the key to understanding
the entire universe US Air Force
facilities or storehouse for
extraterrestrial technologies
located deep in the Nevada desert this
remote research installation has been
used as a test site for experimental
aircraft and weapons with the dry bed of
groom Lake providing an ideal airfield
but the secrecy around the site and a
string of alleged UFO sightings have
stimulated allegations that the base
houses crashed and reverse engineered
alien spacecraft and even alien
collaborators while skeptics suggest the
UFOs were reflections of light on the
broad fuselage of aircraft such as the
Lockheed u2 people claiming to be former
employees report having worked hand in
four-fingered grey hand with
extraterrestrial engineers in a vast
underground facility the truth what is
going on here in area 51
what are these black budget projects do
