Unbelievable Oddities That Will Blow Your Mind!

The world is full of mystery, and sometimes it throws up the oddest things. From the natural wonders of the universe to the most freakish phenomena, there’s always something waiting to surprise us. Here are a few unbelievable oddities that are sure to blow your mind.

The door to hell

One of the most fascinating and awe-inspiring natural oddities on our planet is a massive crater located in Turkmenistan that is affectionately called the “Door to Hell.” It is a man-made crater, created when they tried to burn off the excess gases produced in natural gas drilling in the remote Karakum Desert. Forty-five years on, the flames still rage on thanks to the infinite natural methane gas reserves below. You can even toast some marshmallows using the fire.

The upside-down house

The world’s first upside-down house in Moscow has stunned visitors for years. Everything is inverted, floors, pillows, appliances and even toys, leaving visitors wondering if they are indeed upside-down or the whole house has been turned 180 degrees. You’ll see bathtubs mounted upside down hanging from the ceiling, chandeliers sticking out of the floor instead of the visible ceiling. Never trust gravity too much around this house.

Camp Crystal Lake

Are you a horror movie fanatic? Then Camp Crystal Lake located in Hardwick New Jersey, familiar to fans of the hit Friday the 13th franchise, is definitely a place you should visit. It is regarded as the official resting place for the vast majority of dead characters from the series of films, giving horror fans a chance to pay their respects to their fallen heroes. Bring some floral and take a snap or two.

Social media bar castles

A selfie you could only dream of taking. In Bali, ubiquitous golden castles atop moving vehicles greet you just like the usual taxi bays you are used to seeing. They are mobile with wheels, glittery and totally customisable to express every inch of creative thought into every moment you’d love to cherish. The rides traverse the Instagram-hit cliffs of the Indonesia Island, lifting the places they visit to viral attention. A total different level of swathing.

Island of the Dolls

Located on the canals of Mexico City lies the disturbing Island of dolls. The place is decorated with hundreds of dolls hanging from the trees, and while they may appear to look pretty perched there with their porcelain faces, their quizzical stares leave a chill in your spine. According to local legend, the now-deceased owner discovered the body of a drowned girl and hung several dolls in her honour around his house in anticipation of a full exorcism for her spirit. When he passed away, his favourite dolls seemed to live on.

These are the bizarre places in the world that fly over the earth’s gravity day and night, and these are just among many. Travel often, catch new memorabilia on route, find magic in what life has given you to enjoy, and always-dang something surprising around the corner. Where next? You decide once you enjoy each from the mentioned oddities.
