10 creepiest lakes on our planet

Thousands of lost lives, mysterious inhabitants, poisonous waters - it's all about the terrible reservoirs of our planet. Even cute-looking lakes with clear water sometimes pose a great threat to those who decide to swim in it or even settle with a tent on the shore. We have selected the ten most terrible lakes of our planet.

1. Nyos (Cameroon)

2. Blue Lake (Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia)

Blue karst abyss in Kabardino-Balkaria. Outside, not a single river flows into the lake, it is fed by underground sources. The blue color of the lake is due to the high content of hydrogen sulfide in the water. The creepiness of this lake is given by the fact that no one has been able to figure out its depth. The fact is that the bottom consists of an extensive system of caves. Researchers have not yet been able to figure out what constitutes the lowest point of this karst lake. It is believed that under blue lake the largest underwater cave system in the world.

3. Natron (Tanzania)

Lake Natron in Tanzania not only kills its inhabitants, but also mummifies their bodies. On the shores of the lake there are mummified flamingos, small birds, bats. The most terrible thing is that the victims freeze in their natural poses with their heads up. It was like they froze for a moment and stayed that way forever. The water in the lake is bright red because of the microorganisms living in it, closer to the shore it is already orange, and in some places it is of a normal color. Evaporation of the lake scares away large predators, and the absence of natural enemies attracts a huge number of birds and small animals. They live on the banks of the Natron, multiply, and after death they are mummified. A large number of hydrogen contained in water and increased alkalinity contribute to the release of soda, salt and lime. They do not allow the remains of the inhabitants of the lake to decompose.

4. Brosno (Tver region, Russia)

Not so far from Moscow, in the Tver region, there is Lake Brosno, in which, according to local residents, an ancient lizard lives. Like the famous Nessie, who gained worldwide fame. As in the case of the inhabitant of the Scottish lake, the Brosnen monster was often seen, but no one managed to take a single clear picture. Studies of the reservoir did not lead to anything concrete. Scientists suggest that the reason for the emergence of legends about the ancient monster was an unusual great depth For small lake and decomposition processes at the bottom, which sometimes lead to the formation of huge bubbles of hydrogen sulfide. The escaping gas can easily capsize a small boat, which can be mistaken for a monster attack.

5. Michigan (USA)

Lake Michigan is one of the five great lakes scattered across the United States and Canada. Few people know that this reservoir has destroyed hundreds of lives. They did not see an ancient monster here, the water here is far from dead, but nevertheless the lake is very dangerous. It's all about unpredictable undercurrents. They carry a huge risk for those who come to swim on the shores of Michigan, and there are many of them in the warm season. Undercurrents carry people away from the shore, and if a person has fallen into his power, then it is almost impossible to cope with him. In autumn, the lake becomes especially dangerous. Due to spontaneous currents on the surface of the water, huge waves arise, from which sailors are the first to suffer.

6. Dead Lake (Kazakhstan)

The lake with a terrible name is located in Kazakhstan. locals For a long time they have been trying to bypass it, considering the reservoir cursed. Here anyone will tell you a few scary stories about the mysterious disappearances of people, and not even necessarily in the lake itself. According to locals, there are countless drowned people at the bottom. Moreover, all the missing are visiting tourists who do not know anything about notoriety. dead lake. By the way, this name does not come from mysterious disappearances, but because of the unusual properties of water. There is no life in the lake. No fish, no frogs, nothing. In addition, the water remains extremely cold even in the hot season, and the size of the lake does not decrease. And this is at a time when other reservoirs in this region dry up almost twice from the heat.

7. Lake of death (Italy)

We know about Sicily thanks to the famous Sicilian mafia and the volcano Etna located on the island. But there is another (no less dangerous) attraction - the Lake of Death, the water of which contains a high concentration of sulfuric acid. Life here is impossible by definition. Any organism that enters the local water dies within minutes. According to rumors, the Italian mafia used this lake to destroy unwanted people. The bodies of those who rejected an Offer You Can't Refuse now form part of the Lake of Death. True or not, no one can say, because the water has dissolved all the evidence.

8. Karachay (Russia)

Lake Karachay in the Urals is considered one of the most polluted in the world. Staying on the shore of the lake for a couple of hours is enough to get hundreds of x-rays of radiation and die a painful death. Once living lake was destroyed in the fifties, when it was used as a storage of liquid radioactive waste. Now the water level has dropped dramatically, exposing vast contaminated areas of the lake. The state annually allocates large funds to reduce the level of radiation in the reservoir. In the coming years, it is planned to completely fill it up, but this does not solve the problem of groundwater contamination.

In particular, the story about the Kashkulak cave, it is also called the Cave of the Black Devil. Searching the Internet for information about it, I found the following articles:

The Kashkulak cave is located in the north of Khakassia and is recognized as one of the most scary places planets. Locals call it the cave of the "black devil" or the cave of the "white shaman" and there is an explanation for this.

This place was a cult haven of the ancient Khakass. Here the pagans worshiped not only the symbol of procreation, but also the black devil. Ancestors brought animal and human sacrifices to appease evil spirit. The truth of the giving is confirmed by the ancient altar and bonfire found in the cave, arranged around a natural stalagmite in the form of a phallus. According to this legend, the cave absorbed the dark energy of the ancient shamans, which, guarding its secrets, spills out from time to time on overly curious guests of the cave.

Another confirmation of the legend is the human remains and animal bones found in it.

In the 1960s, a group of 20 students decided to descend to this godforsaken place. A day later, only 2 students managed to get out of it. One girl in a violent insane state was picked up by hunters not far from the cave. She bit and screamed something incoherent. She was immediately taken to a mental ward. The second student was accidentally discovered by the militia of the village of Shira. Gray-haired, with a dead face, with lips bitten into blood, she walked along the dark streets of the village. In her hands, the girl was clutching some kind of stone figurine, which she did not want to give away for anything. Without stopping for a second, she fanatically whispered something. And this girl was assigned to the house of sorrow, where she "burned out" for a month from some mysterious illness. Doctors could not establish the cause of death - the patient, who was rapidly losing weight, was, although insane, but absolutely healthy. Under the mattress of the deceased girl, the nurse found a small stone figurine.

Since then, a completely unkind rumor has gone about the Kashkulak cave, but despite this, several expeditions managed to visit it. Some of them passed without incident and people were upset by the lack of "sharp" sensations. Others were lucky, but it's hard to call it luck.

Once an expedition consisting mainly of schoolchildren on vacation felt all the anomalous power ancient cave. On the third day, before breaking camp, the children begged the adults to last time"Run through the cave" Having bypassed all the nearest grottoes and about to leave the dungeon, everyone suddenly felt a chilling attack of horror. Schoolchildren rushed to the exit, pushing aside no less frightened parents and teachers...

Already in the light of the sun, when fear was released, the pioneers and their guides vied with each other to share what they fancied in the depths of the cave. Everyone, as it turned out, the horror had its own "appearance". Some saw a terrible monster with the body of a bear and with a bloody human skull instead of a head, others saw a huge crow sitting on a pile of bones, the third "appeared" a disgusting old shaman in a filthy fox hat with horns, beating a tambourine and making intricate body movements. With gestures, he seemed to call to himself ...

Some time after the group returned home, one of the participants in the campaign, a sixth grader, was found hanged in the attic of his own house. He left a posthumous note of very strange content. The boy wrote about some kind of stone devil, about dark holes and madness. And at the end: "... die, but remember the stones." The parents of the deceased boy claimed that this phrase was written in a different handwriting.

In the 1980s, scientists from the Novosibirsk Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine became interested in the unexplained phenomena of the Kashkulak cave. Several members of the equipped expedition witnessed a strange phenomenon and saw a shaman that beckoned them to him. Having overcome their numbness and fear, they ran away and only a few hours later were able to calm down at least a little. Everyone spoke as one about a man in a shaggy horned hat with luminous eyes. Summarizing the evidence received, the scientists suggested that all these hallucinations, unaccountable, panic fear, of course, are not the machinations of evil spirits, but the result of a very real external influence.

For example, infrasound with a frequency of about 6 hertz can cause a feeling of indescribable horror. A special laboratory was set up in one of the grottoes of the Black Devil Cave. The researchers carried out various measurements and set up experiments. As a result, a geomagnetic anomaly was established. The electromagnetic field in the cave is constantly fluctuating. Even at the initial stage of the study, scientists noticed that, among other signals, a strictly defined impulse was steadily breaking through. Sometimes it was fixed as a single one, but it happened that it went in "bundles". And always with the same amplitude. It happened that the signal disappeared for two or three days, or even for a week, but then it invariably returned.

Scientists wondered: where do these strange impulses come from? After a series of experiments, it was found that they make their way from the depths of the cave. It was decided to check if these impulses were connected with eerie visions, which were those who found themselves in the cave. The time of fixation of impulses exactly coincided with the moment of the appearance of nervousness in people, a depressed state, turning into panic horror. The pulses turned out to be low-frequency. The very ones that are not perceived by the human ear, but have an impact on the human psyche. The staff of the institute had no doubts that only an artificial emitter could generate pulses of such a frequency with a stable oscillation amplitude. But how can he get in the remote taiga, deep underground?

Scientists examined the entire cave, descended into the most hidden corners - to no avail. There were guesses that the amazing source of impulses is even deeper - under the cave itself.

Scientists explained the mysterious visions as harmless hallucinations, the cause of which could be some unusual chemical mixture present in the air of the cave. However, what kind of mixture it is and how much it has been studied is not yet known. But many were interested in the only question: why different people encounter a vision in the guise of a shaman? Nobody could give an answer.

However, one-time expeditions could not, probably, dispel all the myths. The perestroika that began at that time asked much more burning questions, and the mystery of the black devil's cave remained unsolved.

More on the topic

A few daredevils who ventured to visit it and returned back told incredible things about mysterious ghosts, piles of human and animal bones. Scientists from the Novosibirsk Institute of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR became interested in these legends.

Having descended into this cave, the entrance to which is "hidden" in the spurs of the Kuznetsk Alatau, they immediately encountered a riddle. And that was in 1985...

And further...

On our planet, there are many strange, amazing, mysterious, and sometimes very dangerous places where various, sometimes incredible and inexplicable things happen. Russia is no exception, and on its territory there are also enough mysterious and even mystical places where a person often encounters incomprehensible phenomena. One of these places is the Kashkulak cave, or in translation “the cave of the Black Devil”.

This cave is located in Khakassia in the mountains of Kuznetsk Alatau. Already long time Cave of the Black Devil is of interest to speleologists, ufologists and other scientists and just adventurers. Sometimes there are incomprehensible and unexplained phenomena defiant mystical horror those who are in its bowels ...

*********************************

Underground bowels store a unique cave world, formed in rocks ah as a result volcanic activity, or the centuries-old work of water.

Many caves remain inaccessible to unprepared tourists, but there are unique underground galleries that have become widely known throughout the world and offer travelers to admire amazing worlds hidden in the depths. We offer you to get acquainted with the most popular caves in the world.

carlsbad caves- pearl of the same name national park United States located in the state of New Mexico. This large-scale cave complex is most famous for the Great Room - huge cave, which for a long time was considered the world's largest underground hall. And although this statement has been refuted, the Carlsbad Caverns are still a UNESCO site and one of the most popular cave labyrinths in the world among tourists.

The caves are located under the mountains of Guadeloupe, and they are often referred to as the "underground Grand Canyon". Carlsbad Caves are a type of limestone, resulting from the washing out of rock by underground sources over millions of years. Due to the constantly flowing drops of water, a lot of stalagmites have formed here, which are like fangs protruding from the mouth of an animal, and stalactites, like huge daggers hanging from the arches of the cave.

The total length of the Carlsbad Caves in New Mexico is about 12 km, but only a small part of this huge underground kingdom is available to tourists.

Most spectacular view at the entrance to the caves can be seen at sunset, when a huge number of bats fly to the surface in search of prey. The spectacle is a bit like a scene from a horror movie. The only drawback of the Carlsbad Caverns is their high popularity among tourists. In the summer, this underground attraction is of great interest, because it allows you to escape from the sweltering heat.

Harrison's Cave is recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of Barbados. Along with crystal clear ocean waters and snow-white sandy beaches it is one of the most popular natural attractions of the island.

Local residents have known this miracle of nature since the 18th century, but official research began only in the 70s of the 20th century. Speleologist Ole Sorensen, who claimed that this cave would soon become a real landmark of Barbados, turned out to be absolutely right. After official studies, work began on the illumination of Harrison's cave and equipment in it. hiking trails. It is now a popular tourist attraction in Barbados.

Like Carlsbad Caverns, Harrison's Cave is one of the karst formations, resulting from the exquisite sculptural work of water sources, which in limestone rocks created a unique underworld with numerous stalagmites and stalactites of bizarre shapes.

This is one of the favorite places for tourists who want to escape the heat, but at the same time do not accept the "sofa" pastime in the hotel.

Located in Te Kuichi, Waitomo Cave is neither the largest, nor the longest, nor the most popular in the world, but it is still one of the most interesting cave galleries. The name of this New Zealand cave in the country's Aboriginal language, Maori, means "a huge hole created by fireflies."

Arachnocampa fungus gnats are one of New Zealand's best-known insects. The walls of Waitomo Cave are covered in these tiny creatures, as well as mushrooms and giant crickets. Arachnocampa emit a bluish-green glow, giving the cave vaults a resemblance to the night sky. The best option get an unforgettable experience from the Waitomo cave - go on a leisurely boat trip through underground lake, on the water surface of which you can see thousands of fireflies hanging from the vaults and reflected in the lake waters.

Waitomo Cave was formed as a result of the volcanic activity for which it is so famous. New Zealand. Most of limestone formations arose back in those days when the New Zealand islands were under ocean waters. Therefore, in the underground labyrinths of Waitomo, you can spot a lot of petrified corals and seashells, which makes this New Zealand attraction not only an interesting natural, but also an archaeological site.

But any archaeological activity under the arches of the firefly cave is prohibited due to the fragile cave ecosystem. New Zealand scientists constantly monitor the level carbon dioxide, humidity and temperature of rocks and air to keep unchanged unique flora and fauna of this place.

located in Chinese province Chongqing Chongqing cave is better known as Er Van Dong. Like Waitomo, it has a unique ecosystem, where there is a place for water sources, dense forests and even its own microclimate.

Initially, local residents used the part of the cave closest to the surface as a nitrate mine, but they never explored this underground facility due to its impressive scale. Up until 2012 Chinese cave Er Wang Dong remained unexplored, so no one imagined its true extent.

The only entrance to unexplored part underground labyrinths served as a small hole going underground. A team of 15 speleologists who dared to enter the hole found out that Er Van Don Cave is much larger than originally imagined. What is worth only the first hall of the cave, which is so large that it claims to be the palm among the cave galleries of the world. It is called the Cloud Staircase because of its impressive height it even forms its own clouds. The fog that occurs in underground labyrinths is often closed in this space, resulting in the formation of underground clouds. It even rains here sometimes.

Unlike the previous caves presented in this article, Er Van Don is still poorly explored, so it still remains inaccessible to tourists. This huge underground kingdom is waiting for its high point of tourist popularity.

IN US state Kentucky is the longest cave in the world, called Mammoth. This is the world's largest network of natural caves and underground labyrinths, which, due to its uniqueness, was included in the list of objects under the protection of UNESCO.

Speleologists have explored about 600 km of underground labyrinths, but there are still sections mammoth cave where no human foot has yet set foot. cave system Mamontova is home to 130 diverse species of flora and fauna, many of which are on the verge of extinction and have found their last refuge here.

Mammoth Cave - popular tourist facility US national park of the same name. This unique place was mentioned in many local legends long before it became a favorite object of research for speleologists. In these legends, the Mammoth Cave is endowed with a bad reputation. There are many stories about the mass death of people within the walls of its underground labyrinths. But these legends only stir up the interest of researchers who want to unravel the mysteries of the cave. Perhaps, over time, researchers will still be able to find out what the Mammoth Cave hides in its labyrinths.

We invite you to stay for a while underworld and see the beautiful and mysterious.
