Lake Anjikuni is believed to be responsible
for the disappearance of an entire village. There have been all sorts of
claims about the cause for the disappearance, including aliens (of
course), ghosts, and even vampires. Some versions of the story even
report strange lights being seen above the lake around the time of the
disappearance.
Cano Cristales is a river located in the
Serrenia de la Macerana region of Columbia. Though for most of the year,
the river looks just the same as any other river, but for a short
amount of time between September and November it transforms into a wash
of color. The reds, pinks, blues, greens and yellows that adorn the
river are actually unique types of flora growing on the riverbed.
In 1962, a little fire in Centralia
(Pennsylvania) migrated into an exposed vein of anthracite coal under
the town. The flames on the surface were successfully extinguished, but
the coal continued to burn underground for many years. Nowadays,
Centralia is an abandoned and ghostly place, however, the fire still
burns beneath the town and there is enough coal to feed the fire for up
to 250 years.
