For today’s Sunday Scary throwback, we’re taking a break from haunted trails, ghost stories, and creepy legends to explore some of the strange phenomena that remind us just how weird our planet can be.
We’re talking about more than 100 massive trees that mysteriously fell in the middle of the night despite weather conditions that seemingly couldn’t explain it, rocks that move across the desert floor and leave trails behind them, and an Antarctic glacier that appears to bleed bright red water.
We’ll also get into a bizarre noise that plagued an Oregon town before disappearing just as mysteriously as it started, enormous ancient designs etched into the Peruvian desert, a strange jelly-like substance that has been reported around the world for centuries, and a natural phenomenon that can make it sound like the ground beneath you is exploding.
Some of these mysteries eventually found surprisingly simple scientific explanations, while others still leave us with questions. Either way, they’re a reminder that sometimes the natural world is strange enough all on its own.
