Supernatural Saturday: 5 Mysteries Around The World For You To Unravel

1. Bigfoot/Sasquatch in the Six Rivers National Forest

The most popular one on this list has to be the Bigfoot, also known as the Sasquatch. Commonly believed to be a sub-species of the common ape, the Bigfoot has been sighted to be over 7 foot tall - the first sighting was in the Six Rivers National Forest, California, where a construction work was due to take place. However, upon coming back, six-tonne trucks were destroyed and flipped over, with tire tracks all around.

Since then, around a thousand people have come up to report their sightings, and a motel in the theme of Bigfoot has been set up nearby for adventurers looking to unravel this mystery for themselves.

2. The lost city of Atlantis

First coined by philosopher Plato, the legend of Atlantis lives on even in modern times. Described in the legend as an underwater city with highly advanced technology and a civilisation of its own, It was a utopia for all that lived in it. However, the people got greedy and turned to immoral ways - in the end, the entire city was destroyed in fury by the Gods, and ceased to exist for decades to come.

Many people believe that Atlantis actually exists, and although there are a few speculated locations, the most believed one is under the Donana national park of Southern Spain.

3. The Bermuda Triangle in the Atlantic Ocean

Also known as the Devil’s Triangle, the Bermuda Triangle is a region anchored by 3 points - Miami, San Juan, and the Bermuda island. Although many flights come in and out of this area daily, there has been a number of unexplainable accidents that took place here. Many of these incidents report of compasses not working, a change in natural landscape, or fogs that cloud up the horizon.

Many scientists believe that this is due to the fact that it is one of the few places on Earth where a magnetic compass points towards the true north instead of the magnetic north - whereas others believe that the Bermuda Triangle is one of the few openings to a higher dimension, causing the many disasters. Which one do you believe in?

4. Loch Ness Monster in Scotland

Resembling a sea serpent that descended from the pre-historic times, the Loch Ness is reported as a gigantic animal with a long neck and one or two protruding humps. Getting its name from the freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands that it supposedly inhabits, the Loch Ness was first seen trudging along the river banks, with an animal in its mouth. This is why it is not uncommon to see curious tourists camping out for a glimpse of this mythical creature.

5. Abominable Snowman in the Himalayan Region

Similar to the Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman, also known as the Yeti, is said to roam the mountainous regions of the Himalayas, leaving abnormally huge footprints in the snow-capped heights. Sightings of this creature are rare, as it’s white fur makes the perfect camouflage during a snowstorm - hence if you want to catch a glimpse of this giant ape, you may have to keep your eyes peeled for a flurry of movement amidst the rocky terrains.

Many wonders of the world

Although none of these legends has been proven to be true, who is to say that they may not exist? To date, we have explored less than 5% of our ocean - if anything, this limited knowledge of our very own Mother Earth goes to show that it may actually exist, but we haven’t found them yet. Keep exploring, and maybe one day you’ll make your own history!
