6 Most Disturbing Mysterious Locations

berha if you were to look at pretty much any map of the Gulf of Mexico drawn by Spanish explorers in the 16th and 17th centuries you would find a small island lying off the North Coast of the Yucatan Peninsula called burha although the exact location of the island varied slightly depending on the map it was a well-known fact that the island at least existed burha was first mentioned by Spanish cartographer Alonzo de Santa Cruz in an official list of islands in the Gulf of Mexico published in Madrid in 1539 Alonzo de Chaves another Spanish cartographer

once wrote that from a distance BHA looked blondish or reddish which is where the island's name came from a couple of hundred years later in the mid 1800s French Mexican cartographers published reports stating that the island of burha had started to sink by the late 18th century burha was no longer featured in many maps of the area and the last time it showed up on an official map was in the 1921 edition of the geographic atlas of the Mexican Republic in the late 9s the American and Mexican government started negotiations to determine the boundaries for

the exploitation rights of oil in the Gulf of Mexico if the Mexican Government could find the island of burha that would expand Mexico's oil drilling rights way further into the Gulf around that time The Mexican government conducted three official investigations to find the island armed with state-of-the Ark ultrasound technology and all kinds of modern tools to locate it mysteriously they couldn't find any trace of the island and according to Spokes people people from the Mexican Navy it was as if the island had never even existed a year after the Mexican Navy failed to find BHA

a Mexican Senator named Jose Angel cello who was one of the most fierce advocates for the expansion of Mexico's oil drilling territory and the Island's existence was killed in a car accident on a Mexican Highway when a semi-truck slammed into the right side of the car his death quickly became the fuel for a conspiracy theory According to which the CIA had blown up the island to further an oil fueled American agenda of course this theory is a bit of a stretch and some of the other more logical theories that surfaced regarding The Disappearance of the

island are much more likely to be true one possibility that researchers seem to favor is that the island sunk after an earthquake or underwater Landslide which led to a further series of Explorations in 2009 to see if the remains could be found at the bottom of the ocean however despite the even more Advanced Technologies that were used during that Year's official investigations the ultrasound exploration of the ocean floor raled absolutely nothing but a Sandy ocean bottom speculation that the island had never existed once again started circulating online and in the news leading many people to

adopt it as the truth after the failed Explorations in 2009 Julio Zamora president of the Mexican Society of geography claimed that the existence of the island of Bera had probably been faked by early Spanish explorers to throw off other explorers and Military Rivals from other countries this would make sense as it was common practice to make slightly inaccurate Maps back then for the sake of strategy another possible theory is that the island could have been drawn by one cartographer in the wrong location by mistake and replicated dozens of times over the centuries by other unaware

cartographers still some researchers think that due to the very precise descriptions of the Island's physical appearance bahha probably did exist but in another location despite the abundance of theories regarding the mysterious Island's location and existence 15 years after the last exploration of the last known location of burha the truth is still a mystery and will probably remain that way forever Overton Bridge built in 1895 in dartan Scotland the Overton Bridge is a Gothic style Bridge overlooking a 50-ft ravine that leads up to Overton house a 19th century Manor in the Scottish lowlands at first glance

Overton Bridge looks pretty much like any other Bridge from the time but there's one pretty dark detail that makes it different from any other structure in the area for the past 80 years hundreds of dogs have been jumping off the bridge and down to the Ravine to their deaths for seemingly no apparent reason sometimes the dogs survive the fall and are left with debilitating injuries and according to some reports there have even been instances where dogs allegedly jumped off the bridge survived ran up the slope and then jumped off once again to their deaths depending

on the source you'll find reports stating that the amount of dogs that have have jumped off the bridge is either lower than 100 or in the high 100s but regardless of the exact number it's a fact that a lot of dogs have died at this bridge for some mysterious reason as you can imagine these incidents at Overton Bridge have fueled all kinds of outlandish theories including suggestions that the bridge is haunted according to Celtic Pagan beliefs the bridge is located at a thin place which is a place that lies at the supposed Union Between Heaven

and Earth some locals have also favored more Supernatural theories with many people blaming the dog's death on the white lady of Overton the alleged ghost of the Widow from Overton house another popular Theory among the locals is that the dogs are being affected by negative residual energy from a tragic event that took place in 1994 in which a 32-year-old father threw his baby off the bridge claiming that his child was the Antichrist following the tragic murder the father was declared insane and locked up in a psych ward but even with all the more outlandish theories

that have gained Traction in recent years some researchers have come up with more plausible explanations for the mysterious incidents at Overton bridge in 2006 animal behaviorist David Sans investigated the bridge and suggested that the dogs are probably detecting the presence of wild animals below the bridge with their Keen sense of smell which makes them chase after the smell and inadvertently jumping to their deaths this would make sense as according to official statistics in the area minks began breeding in large numbers in the 50s in Scotland and most long-nosed dogs seem to favor the the smell

of mink over any other small animal including squirrels from my research most of the dogs that have died at the bridge are long-nosed breeds also because the bridge has tapered edges from the dog's point of view the edge looks more like a flat plane safe for running and chasing after small animals so while there will probably continue to be speculation about paranormal activity at Overton bridge for many years to come it's much more likely that the dogs aren't intentionally taking their lives and are simply falling to their deaths on accident while chasing the oders from

other animals abandoned Viaduct petrol brass in the 1950s the Brazilian government began a project to build br101 Brazil's longest highway spanning almost 3,000 mi in the 1960s construction began on a segment of Highway called the viaduct petrol brass that was meant to cross the Brazilian jungle to connect Rio de Janeiro and Santos s Paulo 16 years after construction started the segment of Highway that crossed the jungle was due to be connected to an already existing part of the highway to finish the project however due to Brazil's economic crisis plans changed at the very last minute

and instead of connecting the viaduct to the existing Road the highway was linked to a different coastal route as a result the viaduct petrol brass was left abandoned in the middle of the Jungle and to this day the Brazilian government has done nothing to remove it or reuse its parts standing over 130 ft tall and almost 1,000 ft long the structure features fully built tunnels retaining walls and a gigantic concrete foundation which has slowly been swallowed by the jungle as the years have gone by to an outsider the viaduct Petro brass looks like it was

taken out of the city and dropped in the middle of nowhere in the South American jungle for no reason giving off an admittedly Eerie atmosphere even though the viaduct Petro brass seems pretty wasteful the out ofpl structure is now a pretty popular tourist destination for Curious Travelers and locals wanting to catch a glimpse of the abandoned concrete Giant Cola superdeep Bor hole in the 1960s the Soviet Union and the US were locked in a battle to develop Superior space exploration Technologies often referred to as the Space Race but what many people don't know is that

the two countries were also competing to drill as close as possible to the Center of the Earth as is often the case the motivation behind the drilling was mostly to find oil and valuable minerals but from what I found developing machines that can get close to the Center of the Earth would Al help understand the causes of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions at a much deeper level in 1958 the US government launched project mohal to collect a sample from earth mantle by drilling to the bottom of the ocean off Guadalupe Island in Mexico over the next

8 years they drilled over 600 ft into the seabed but in 1966 the House of Representatives had to discontinue the project because it was getting too expensive 4 years later in 1970 it was the Soviet Union's turn and they drilled their hole close to the baron sea just outside the Norwegian Border in a city known as Mormons Russia at the time the soviet's goal was to drill as far down as possible which researchers hoped would be a little over 9 mies unlike the US the Soviets were a little more successful with their attemp and managed

to drill way deeper into the Earth's Christ which resulted in the creation of the cola super deep bore hole also known as the world's deepest man-made hole with a total depth of over 40,000 ft or around 7 1/2 miles the cola super deep bore hole is deeper than the mar on a trench and its depth surpasses the height of Mount Everest as the project progressed the scientists realized the temperature was much higher than expected at every point below 10,000 ft and at around 7 1/2 mil below the surface the drill reported a temperature of almost

360 F this was way higher than the 212° F the scientists had predicted at that depth so even though the Soviets had broken a record with the cola Bor hole They too had to discontinue the project in 1992 due to increasing Rock densities and crazy high temp temperatures and in 2005 the drill was shut down and the hole was sealed for good however that wasn't the end of the story and there's a slightly more disturbing reason why people remember the cola super deep bore hole in the late ' 80s a strange story started circulating in

several Christian finish newspapers which reported that a group of Soviet scientists had drilled a hole to the Center of the Earth and had allegedly lowered an extremely heat tolerant microphone into the hole through this they supposedly heard a series of extremely disturbing torment screams coming from the bottom of the well throughout the '90s the story spread to other countries until even American newspapers were running it as the story gained popularity sound files with the supposed audio of the tormented screams from the center of the earth started appearing everywhere online with allegations that the screams came

from tormented Souls stuck in hell as it was later revealed the original recording of tormented screams was made from a loop of various sound effects and the soundtrack from the 1972 movie baren blood from this point forward it was pretty much common knowledge that the screams were fake however it is a fact that some pretty disturbing sounds have been heard coming from the cola superdeep bore hole along with other superdeep bore holes in 2013 Dutch artist lute G traveled to the 3,000 ft deep KTB super deep B hole in Germany where she lowered a microphone

protected by a thermal Shield to see if she could pick up any sounds at the bottom of the well interestingly a mysterious deep rumbling sound that scientists couldn't explain could be heard through the microphone which in the artist's own words some people thought sounded like hell While others thought they could hear the planet breathe even though the sound is pretty cool to hear even if a little haunting the consensus among scientists is that the sound comes from layers and layers of rocks rearranging themselves after being moved around by the drill that made the hole Pomsky

crater in 1949 a Russian geologist named Vadim kulakov stumbled Upon A mysterious crater with a diameter of over 500 ft and a height of almost 140 ft in ut Siberia at the center of the crater he found a little Hill around 40 ft tall which kind of looked like an eagle's nest with an egg inside it curious to find out what was inside the crater kulakov made plans to climb the mound and take a look inside to confirm his hypothesis that the crater had been caused by a meteorite but the locals warned him that fire

eagle nest as it's become known all over the world allegedly possessed evil powers and whoever stepped inside it would be dead soon after dismissing the insistent warnings as Superstition he climbed the mound but failed to find any Rock samples that supported his meteorite hypothesis over time more and more expeditions were carried out to the crater including one in 2005 in which the leader of the investigation died of a heart attack shortly after visiting the crater based on the findings of recent Explorations scientists have ruled out volcanic eruptions nuclear explosions and impact from a meteorite as

possible causes for the crater in the absence of a solid answer some have started coming up with all kinds of theories to explain its origin including the possibility that a UFO landing made the crater others have linked the crater to the Tusa meteorite the remains of which have never been discovered one of the things that makes it so difficult to determine the origin of fire eagle nest or kak of cone as it's now popularly known is that the crater frequently changes shape which suggests that whatever caused it is still affecting it to this day the

only thing scientists know for sure is that the crater is around 250 years old which they gathered from the rings on the trees growing on the mound strangely it's been scientifically proven that the trees closer to the crater grow much faster than normal which is similar to what happened in the forest around Chernobyl after the nuclear disaster the lack of solid explanations coupled with the weird tree phenomenon has been fueled to the fire of outlandish conspiracy theories about underground nuclear plants and nuclear powered UFOs buried beneath the crater to this day scientists still haven't determined

what caused kak of cone to appear and no asteroid fragments or metal Parts have been found in the crater to support some of the theories people have come up with over the years as of today the most logical explanation is that the mound could have been caused by the underground release of hydrogen fluids and heat from a nearby gas volcano this could have caused changes in the size of tree rings which would explain why scientists thought they were growing in an abnormal rain still despite the more convincing explan ations that have surfaced over the years

the origin of kak of con will probably remain a mystery for many years to come Villa Epicon in the 1920s a small tourist Village about 400 mil from buenos Ares Argentina called Villa epic cune was built along the shore of Lego epic cune a Salt Lake Ted for the health benefits and therapeutic effects of its mineral Waters which were said to be beneficial for Rheumatic conditions quickly turning into a weekend getaway for Argentina's upper class the town soon had a functional railroad station and a population of about 1,500 with a capacity to accommodate around 5,000

additional visitors at its peak in the 70s due to its popularity as a weekend getaway for Argentine City dwellers a lot of money was poured into vill epic cun to expand its accommodations and make it as comfortable as possible for visitors however it seemed not a lot of resources or attention was dedicated to the containment Dam that separated the lake from the town fortunately on November 10th 1985 the containment dam broke during a storm and a series of unusual strong winds for 2 weeks the water Rose at a rate of half an inch per hour

until eventually the containment dam was completely destroyed by the water after which all the locals had to aband in their homes and businesses and leave behind Villa Epicon over the following days the flood drowned the town over 30 ft underwater and it wasn't until 25 years later in 2009 that the waters began to recede and now show the Eerie remains of the town which now looks like something out of a dystopian movie from above you can see the original layout of the streets of villa epic along with its many businesses and the house is 1500

people called home with its overgrown trees Rusty post-apocalyptic appearance and Ghost Town Vibes Villa epic cun now draws in tourists and photographers from all over the world who want to get a glimpse of the ruins of the once bustling getaway Town due to the high levels of salt in the water that once flooded the town most of the building buildings in Villa Epicon are covered with a thin white residue giving the town an even more creepy appearance one of the more interesting facts about Villa epic cun is that even after it was completely destroyed by

the water and flooded for more than 25 years as soon as the water receded in 2009 one of the locals then 81-year-old Pablo Novak decided to come back home and live out the rest of his days in Villa Epicon out of the original 1500 residents of the Town Pablo was the only one who came back as the lone inhabitant of villa epic cun Novak was officially named a cultural ambassador of the town in 2020 but unfortunately in January 2024 Pablo Novak passed away at the age of 93 leaving the town once again completely abandoned [Music]
