World's 10 Most Mysterious Places

9. South Atlantic Anomaly-

The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is an area where the band of radiation called Earth’s inner Van Allen belt comes closest to the surface of the Earth. It is situated off the coast of Brazil. SAA is popularly known as the Bermuda Triangle of Space as the site is mostly held responsible for many problems with satellites and spacecraft, for messing up their programs and actually shutting down their function.

While passing through the Anomaly, the Hubble Telescope had actually turned off from taking further observations and the International Space Station avoided setting up spacewalks. This was not just a technical problem as some astronauts exclaimed of seeing ‘shooting stars’ in their visual field while passing through it. The main reason behind this is still unknown and cannot be fully understood. But the high levels of radiation that gathers at the anomaly are suspected to be one such cause for this kind of activities.

10. Superstition Mountains-

The Superstition Mountains are a range of mountains found in the east of Phoenix, Arizona.

There was a man called Jacob Waltz back in the 1800s who discovered a huge mysterious goldmine within the mountain. He took the deep rooted secret of the whereabouts of the location of the gold mine with his death. So, as per the belief of the legend, the spirits of those people who lost their lives in search of the gold still haunt the mountains. This mountain later came to be known as the Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine.
