MANCHAC SWAMP

Manchac is a small town in the State of Louisiana, in the United States, which is located on the shores of Lake Maurepas and close to New Orleans, the traditional southern area where the French and their slaves from Africa settled.

Precisely, with slaves became traditions and beliefs of the other continent, some religious such as Voodoo.

Legend has it that a Queen (Marie Laveau, 1794-1881) Voodoo was accused of exercise acts of witchcraft and imprisoned in by life in a horrific prison in the region. Deprived of their liberty forever view cast a curse on these watery parts. The beautiful cypresses claimed dark forms, the water became turbid and crocodiles learned to wait for their victims silent.

It was to Laveau to who responsible for the hurricane that wiped out three small towns in the area, in 1915 leaving trail of habitability. But this depends on what villager asked, since there are people who tell another story. It's the legend of Julie White, a Princess Voodoo that used to sit on the porch of his house and sing: "one day I'm going to die and I will take all of you with me". Believe or burst, the day of his funeral - in 1915 - was when the mentioned hurricane was unleashed.

Not only legends Voodoo there is to fear. Also the cajun French immigrants belief that colonized the region argues that there dwells the bloodthirsty Rougarou, what others know as the man Wolf.

The dark form of the trees, which are like claws trying to catch who ventures inside; the frogs singing at night, that worries the bravest; or muddy waters, which convey the feeling that fall nobody will hear SOS and will come into rescue, make Manchac swamp an ideal area for filming horror films, which have been able to appreciate several classic directors of the genre.

The catacombs of the Capuchins in Palermo, Sicily (Italy) is home to one of the museums most creepy and unique in the world.

The catacombs date from 1599 when it was buried for the first time a monk with a reputation for Holy so it was prayed and visited, the brother Silvestro de Gúbio. Thus the monks discovered the special climatic conditions that meet the catacombs.

This was slowly becoming a local tradition, to the point that many left instructions in his will regarding the clothes that look after dead and even which should put past time. So you were gathering approximately a total of 8,000 corpses that are exposed as if it were a gallery of death. Many were stuffed with different methods.

They are exposed in rows in men, women, children, virgins, monks and professionals. In the Hall of the professional judges, professors, military some even buried their military clothes can find Napoleonic style. Many of the bodies have been deformed by the passage of time or have lost some of its members.

Some of the bodies were wrapped in straw-filled bag fabrics, which helped its dewatering and removal of moisture and fungus that had appeared. Also during the second world war there was damage caused by the fire of some vaults, because of which some corpses were the action of fire. In 1966, there was another fire that had greater consequences and later due to the paving of the neighboring streets, water leaks appeared.


 

BLAIR WITCH

In February 1785, in the old village of Blair (currently Burkittsville), that was in the central North of Maryland, two hours away from Washington DC, an elderly woman called Elly Kedward lured several children from the city to go to his house and brought them blood. When the children told it to her parents and taught them the wounds, citizens reacted with brutal speed. After accusing her of witchcraft, based on local laws, were driven out of the village.

Kedward was tied to a truck and it pushed it to the forests, where abandoned it to death in the midst of a particularly hard winter. Giving by fact that Elly had died of cold, the people of Blair returned to an apparent calm. But this only calm was harbinger of other storms.

In November 1786, the first night that it snowed, the daughter of the magistrate of the city mysteriously disappeared. A week later, the main accuser of Kedward also disappeared. By the end of the winter, almost half of the children of the city disappeared without a trace, including all of the accusers.

The Bermuda triangle

Also known as the Devil's triangle and Limbo of the lost, it is a place where there have been numerous seemingly inexplicable disappearances of boats and planes. Likewise, there have been numerous reports of UFOs and there are even those who believe that the place can be a dimensional gate...

Several explanations have been suggested to account for the mystery, from alien abductions to artifacts of defunct Atlantis until others with scientific basis as the theory of the bubbles of methane.

However, while almost all cases may be scientifically explainable at the present time, there are some stories that could be labeled as indecipherable mysteries that keep alive the legend of the also called "Devil's triangle"

"fanciful explanations"

A jump in space-time
There are those who say that in the triangle could be a worm hole, a singularity in the space-time fabric by virtue of which ships and planes missing could have been transported to another universe.

"UFOS and aliens"
It has been suggested that the triangle could be working as a station of aliens in which people, boats and planes missing would be kidnapped in order to be studied or perhaps (at least in some cases) in order to be saved from a Holocaust.

"Sea monsters"
One of the more fanciful theories is the one according to which sea monsters (type the Kraken...) would be responsible for both wreck...

Aokigahara forest

According to the legend, here live some demons of Japanese mythology. It is a popular place where people commits suicide. In 2002, 78 bodies were found although there are numerous signs in Japanese and English, persuading people to reconsider its decision.

After crossing the first kilometer of Aokigahara towards Mount Fuji, the forest is located in a much more pure State, with little or no waste and insufficient evidence of human presence.


From 1950 to today, more than 7,000 suicides were recorded, the cause of this may be the rock of the forest that makes GPS and compasses to become inoperable, then people are lost and end up committing suicide.

We can say that you never will know that is what happens in the forest, it is said that it is as a Bermuda triangle. When you enter never gonna.

 It is a rather strong image.
