Here are the strangest mysteries science can’t explain!
9 – Mysterious fires in Sicily There is a small town in Sicily, called Canneto
di Caronia that has been giving big headaches to the science community around the world.
The town is so small, it literally consists of one street – however, its size hasn’t
stopped it from getting famous.
Starting from 2004, the village has been experiencing a so-called fire plague – electrical appliances
around the town burst into flames just out of nowhere!
Imagine sitting at your house right now only to see your computer or your phone catching
on fire and exploding without even the smallest warning.
The situation got so serious after a whole month of random appliances causing fires that
the entire town was evacuated.
A team of experts had been brought in and they measured and tested literally EVERYTHING
that could be measured and tested but were left dumbstruck as authorities seemed to agree
that some sort of electrical anomaly was responsible, and many experts traveled to Caronia to investigate.
It was proposed that the phenomena are caused by intermittent electromagnetic emissions.
Others started wildly speculating about the usual aliens and secret experiments.
In 2015, the police reported that they arrested a man who they had held responsible for the
chaos.
Apparently, the man was doing it in order to attract tourists to the village.
But the mayor himself, as well as the majority of the population, stated that they don’t
agree with the arrest made.
Some share stories of bare wires just catching fire right in front of their eyes.
Can one guy really do all this that’s supposedly true?!
8 – Feet in the Pacific Northwest Because of ocean pollution, it’s not that
rare to see different objects washed up on the shores of your favorite beach.
Just as an example, stray shoes are an extremely common find.
But some areas of the Pacific Northwest – British Columbia in Canada and Washington State in
the US in this case – have witnessed a rather unusual sight: shoes WITH the foot still inside!
Who the owners of these particular shoes AND feet are a mystery.
Some feet have been identified however, where is the rest of their body?
why and how did their feet come off their body?
What’s even eerier is the fact that most of the time, only the right foot shows up.
Since 2007, a total of 16 severed feet have been found on the shores of the Salish Sea,
enough to attract many mystery maniacs.
Hey.
You guys know of anyone who’s been missing a foot or two?
7 – The Taos Hum Taos is a small town in New Mexico and it’s
known as a rather artsy place since it had a lot of popular residents during the years,
such as Julia Roberts and Dennis Hopper.
However, this place has been intriguing scientists for years due to one odd phenomenon – a
hum heard throughout the town.
Since the 1990’s town residents have been complaining about a particular, low-frequency
sound that has been coming and going.
Apparently, this noise is quite annoying.
Sometimes, the sound can last for days while other times it’s just like a faint buzz
in the distance.
Only a few believe that a UFO is involved – the majority blames the government and
various experiments.
The fact that only around 2% of the residents in Taos can hear the sound has been calling
out the skeptics.
High-tech equipment was set up in the homes of those who had complained of the constant
whir but the equipment managed to record nothing at all.
Skeptics say that the Taos Hum is more of a subjective experience rather than a real
sound – maybe some people just hear what they want to hear.
6 – Oakville blobs Oakville is a small town in Washington that
has less than 1000 residents.
However, exactly how many of those few lucky ones to witness a weird jelly-like rain that
had fallen there and got famous under the name “Oakville blobs” isn’t exactly
known.
It all started back in August 1994 during a rainstorm – raindrops, instead of being
you know… watery-like, turned out to be gelatinous and mushy.
The super unusual rain, if you can even call it that, had fallen a total of six times over
the course of the following few weeks left everyone stunned.
Several of those who had been handling the blobs felt sick and ended up in a hospital,
which lead to more than a few conspiracy theories spreading at the time, such as the fact that
the blobs were actually the fluid toilet waste from an airplane passing by.
Several theories cropped up at the time to explain the appearance of the blobs, though
none have been proven correct.
A popular theory with the townsfolk at the time was the "jellyfish theory", which postulated
that the blobs were the result of bombing runs by the military in the ocean 50 miles
away from the farm causing explosions within a bloom of jellyfish, which were then dispersed
into a rain cloud.
This theory was so popular with the townsfolk that there was discussion of holding a jellyfish
festival, and that the local tavern even concocted a new drink in honor of the incident, "The
Jellyfish", composed of vodka, juice, and of course gelatin.
5 – The Hessdalen Lights The Hessdalen valley is located in the central
part of Norway and it runs the length of 7.5 miles.
Since the 1930’s, there has been a rather unusual phenomenon now appropriately called
The Hessdalen lights – the sky above the valley gets filled with colorful, flickering
lights multiple times per year!
Most of the time, they’re bright yellow, red or white.
Some of them stay in the sky for hours while others just blink for a minute and disappear.
In the 80’s, the lights started to appear up to 20 times per week and became a huge
tourist attraction.
No one so far has managed to explain where the lights may come from and no, no one is
celebrating Christmas early in Norway.
Some think the light is ionized star dust but nothing has been proven for sure.
Whatever the cause, one thing is for sure – this sounds like the perfect spot for
a first date!
4 – The Black Knight Satellite While it’s true that the universe and space
are full of endless mysteries, this particular satellite has been giving headaches to NASA
ever since 1998.
It was first caught on camera by a shuttle mission and it has been re-appearing on pictures
and videos ever since.
According to some UFO enthusiasts, the Black Knight is an alien satellite which has orbited
Earth for approximately 13,000 years; however, the non-existent object is most likely a conflation
of several disconnected stories, all of them well documented independently.
Some say that this is a UFO satellite sent in order to record and send back information
about life on Earth.
The origin of the Black Knight legend is often "retrospectively dated" back to natural extraterrestrial
repeating sources heard during the 1899 radio experiments of Nikola Tesla and long delayed
echoes first heard by amateur radio operator Jorgen Hals in Oslo, Norway in 1928.
A 1998 NASA photo is believed by some to show the Black Knight satellite, but NASA has stated
that this is likely space debris, specifically a thermal blanket lost during an EVA mission.
Soooooo what exactly is it?
Who knows?!
3 – Blue Fat For the pair of hunters living on a ranch
in Morgan Hill, California, it was just another regular day – they saw a wild pig running
around the bushes and decided they could use some fresh pork.
What they hadn’t assumed was that they’d get a rather “royal” edition of it!
They were appalled to find out that this little piggy has come with a rather… distinctive
color: all of the pig’s fat was blue!
And when I say blue I mean an almost-fluorescent light-blue shade – not the color you’d
expect your meat to be in.
The pair had sent out samples of the pig to be tested but none of the tests could confirm
for sure what caused the pig’s fat to be blue, nor exactly what substance was causing
the blue coloring.
Some were speculating this was a result of copper poisoning while others claimed it’s
due to the anti-coagulant rodenticide, a product residents of California often use.
To make it even more bizarre, they left the pig out for a day and not a single animal
approached it nor attempted to eat it.
Hey, not even nature wanted to mess this free lunch, what’s this telling us?!
2 – Purple Spheres
In 2013, a woman and her husband had gone out for a walk in the Arizona Desert – a
path that they had often visited.
While taking pictures of the terrain, they noticed a sight they had never seen before
– the ground in front of them was full of purple, jelly-like bubbles.
While some suggested it was a nasty joke pulled out by someone with a weird sense of humor
using a set of chemical ingredients, others disagreed and said that the spheres are of
natural origin.
The patch of purple spheres was only located in one spot and the bubbles were described
as translucent and see-through.
Biologists and zoologists have inspected the patch but couldn’t identify the purple spheres.
One suggested it may be a patch of uncommon fungi but nothing could be proven for sure.
Many agree that the purple spheres look like something out of this world.
Maybe they’re right and aliens are just trying to show off their uhhhh… purple thumb
– who knows?
1 – Allergic Reactions
While an allergic reaction to peanuts is well, somewhat normal, well, at least it’s not
so unusual, there are some people out there who have a problem even drugs can’t help
to fix.
They experience full allergic reactions when exposed to water.
Yes, water.
How come someone develops an allergic reaction to something that their body is mostly made
of is still unclear.
Some of the rarest sufferers of the water allergy can’t even drink much water, let
alone shower daily.
Their skin gets red, swollen, and starts to rash.
Even their food intake has to be limited – not many of those fresh fruits and vegetables
are good for you if you get swollen for days afterward.
Some of the cases have been treated with antihistamines but the symptoms have only been eased – their
allergy remains.
Dermatologists claim that this water allergy can come and go with the years; however, even
they can’t do much to help and sufferers are left on their own to deal with the conditions
as best as they can, which is to avoid water as much as possible.
Just insane.
Here’s what’s next!
