People no longer think the earth is flat, well most of us don't. Through the years humanity learned how volcanoes work, and we've explored almost every inch of land, but some places still baffle us.

Number 10. Bermuda Triangle
If you’ve never heard this name before, which planet do even you come from? Loosely defined, this area is located in the North Atlantic Ocean and visually forms a triangle between Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico. A disturbingly large number of aircraft and ships keep disappearing there every year. Though it’s not like every single plane or vessel crossing these waters is lost forever, the numbers are still too high to be considered standalone accidents. And though scientists have time and again dismissed any supernatural reasons, explaining disappearances with magnetic anomalies that cause compasses mislead sea and air farers, many people choose to believe that some extraterrestrial powers are at play here.

Number 9. Double Tree of Cosorzo
If you ever happen to travel in Northern Italy, make sure to visit the region of Piedmont. Here, between the towns of Cosorzo and Grana, you’ll find truly amazing natural phenomena of life. In a place that has quickly become a tourist spot, you will see a cherry tree growing right out of the center of a mulberry tree. Such co-habitation is in fact not all that uncommon in nature. Called “epiphytes”, they occur when a seed of one plant is dropped on the other, usually by a bird. Epiphytes are normally weak and short-lived and sometimes kicked off by the host. Against all odds, the DoubleTree of Cosorzo is perfectly healthy, with branches of both the mulberry and the cherry tree expanding five meters across a patch of land that has been fenced to protect its uniqueness.

Number 8. Kalachi
Have you ever fallen asleep in class? Or maybe on the bus? Sometimes the desire to sleep is so strong that fighting it seems an impossible task. And while for you it might be due to way too many nights of playing video games, for the residents of the town of Kalachi in Kazakhstan this became a real plague. In 2013 an inexplicable disease took over the town. People would uncontrollably fall asleep in public places, in the streets, just anywhere, and then sleep for days on end. Besides, many of them, especially children, would have hallucinations, while men, having woken up after as long as a month of sleep, would have a lasting erection, and we’re talking lasting for weeks scientifically impossible places that exist

Number 7. The Ringing Rocks of Pennsylvania
One can say with fair certainty that Stonehenge is the most popular rock formation on our planet. Thousands of tourists visit it every year to admire the grandeur and try to solve the mystery. However, Stonehenge isn’t the only bizarre collection of rocks known to people. The Ringing Rocks of Pennsylvania got their name due to a peculiar metallic sound they give out when hit with a hammer. Known as sonorous rocks, this phenomenon has been spotted in several places on Earth.

Number 6. Zone of Silence
If ringing rocks sound like too much noise for you, welcome to its complete opposite — Zone of Silence. Known also as the Mapimi Silence Zone, millions of years ago this patch of land in the Mexican desert used to be a seabed of the Tethys Ocean, but now has become an urban legend of the Chihuahua province. Reportedly, once you enter this 50 km-wide territory, all radio and mobile phone signals are lost while compasses go haywire.

Number 5. The Petrifying Well
This one sounds straight out of the times when druids inhibited the forests of England and magical spells actually worked. Near the town of Knaresborough in North Yorkshire, you will find the oldest paid tourist attraction, collecting money from visitors since 1630. What’s so special about this particular well, you ask

Number 4. Devil’s Kettle
Water has always been assigned magic attributes, as people admired its magnificence and often inexplicable power. Similar to the Petrifying Well, Devil’s Kettle waterfall will mess with your objects but this time you won’t even get them back. Located in Judge C.R. Magney State Park in Minnesota, this waterfall is a part of the Brule River. While one part of the river continues its way downstream after a 15 m fall, the other part goes its separate way, plunges down 3 m, and disappears underground into a pothole.
