ANNABELLE

Annabelle is a doll bought by a woman for her daughter ann higgins who was a nurse trainee who stayed in a hostel with her friend. The doll was said to be possessed by a demon because they have seen the doll move by itself. At first ann have ignored it but the movements of the doll became more noticeable as days went by. The doll was then taken away by exorcists to be tamed and put into a box. The box has a warning to not open it under any circumstances.(source:wikipedia)

My view on this issue is that i really cant come to a conclusion. If this doll is not haunted why would it be there in box warning people not to open it? Thinking from the scientifical point of view, is it possible to possess raggedy ann dolls made of cotton? It just doesnt make sense... unless someone bothers to open the box and uncover the truth....

HALLOWEEN THE FESTIVAL TO SCARE

SCARING FESTIVAL CALLED  HALLOWEEN

Halloween is a festival celebrated famoulsy in the western world. This festival involves wearing scary costumes and roam the streets. The people take this as a celebration and enjoy  wearing bizzare costumes and show up in friend's house.

This festival has a long tradition. The most famous reason for the celebration is to discourage satan worship in the world.

This festival is reason enough to claim that the people must take devils and evil spirits in a jovial way. The idea of laughing off the evil dressed men show the psychological significance of  the laughing therapy

Marking one day of the year for celebrating the scary feeling though weird is a great way to get these evil demons off our head as just fancy get ups. Its nice to think of them this way. Isn't it.?

Demonte colony and its haunted look

DEMONTE AND ITS HAUNTED LOOK
The area of demonte colony situated in alwarpet is infamous for its hauntedness and desertedness. Houses situated on both sides of the road wear a haunted look in day and scary look in night.


Visitors of demonte colony in the night are alleged to have been scared away by mysterious beings . This haunted place is an old residence of the infamous lord Demonte. He is said to have had a frightful death. Causing the deserted look of this place is related to this lord's misfortune . It is said that he still rules the place and scares away the people who come here to settle.

The famous tamil movie Demonte colony hit the theatres and the mysterious gates of the  colony were knocked by the curious chennaitees.

The visit to this place doesn't give us any fruitful results . Instead they only bring us only shadow of the haunted deserted houses. Anything seen in the dark is bound to be scary by homo sapiens. Demonte is nothing but just another colony that is  deserted.

RAMOJI FILM CITY

t's a straight daytime story. A famous Tamil actress (name can't be taken) just checking herself in mirror. Film crew is waiting for her next shot. Suddenly they heard a horrified shout. It's from the makeup room. All of them rushed inside, Heroine lying senseless in the floor. They carried her on the sofa there and called doctor. He said somehow actress panicked tremendously. Almost after one hour when felt well, what she told, shiver ran down almost every body's spines there.

She was combing gently her hair, checking her dialogues on the dressing table. When again looked in the mirror, she swears to see a man. "No, no not man, it was something else, dressed like old times Churidar, it was…..like something else, he was smiling, you can't imagine his eye…Ohhh". The actress was still in trauma(source:wikipedia)

my take on this issue is that ramoji film city is just a normal film shooting place. there is no reason to explain why the man appeared in the mirror. also, actress being drama queens, definitely would have told false stories to attract extra attention.

THE DIBBUK BOX

The dibbuk box is a wine cabinet. It is said to be possessed by a jewish ghost. This box was held in possession by a 103 year old woman who was the lone survivor of the harsh evictions of the nazis. The woman had told her family members to bury the box together with her dead body. Since it was against jewish traditions, her family has refused. This box then came to sale on ebay where a refinisher bought it and gifted it to his mom. After receiving it, his mum, who was already suffering from an illness, died. Others who received it from his have also claimed that they are experiencing alot of bitter moments. Once, when the refinisher was asleep, he felt something like a dark shadow strangle him to death. Then, he again placed it on sale in ebay.(source:wikipedia)

My take on this is that this story is false because there is no reason to explain why the dibbuk box is haunted. Another reason is that if the dibbuk box is harmful why didnt the old lady throw it away? And also, if the spirit wants to avenge someone, why would it attack random people? The refinisher's mum was already affected by an illness. Her death could have mere coincidence. People should not confuse biological science and supernatural powers.

KARIKATTU KUPPAM AND GHOST BEACH

KARIKATTU KUPPAM AND THE GHOST BEACH

2004 Tsunami in chennai ruined many lives , especially of people living near the coast line. Karikattu kuppam is no exception, this small coastal village, has been destroyed completely and no one living in the area survived the natural disaster.

After this gory incident no person came to live in this place. This village remains deserted till date. There are alleged sightings of  ghosts who lived in the village and died due to tsunami. These ghosts don't do any harm and just wander  around the place.

 The beach in this area thus came to be called as "ghost beach". The visitors to this beach claim to have seen wandering ghosts .

If we think about this phenomenon rationally, the sightings of ghosts can be explained as the imagination of the visitors. For all that we know these can be stories that were created for hype. The scientific theory of "survival guilt" comes into place  if we think of the ghost of dead people.The ghost stories are nothing but lores created by the locals for the purpose of sensation.

OKIKU DOLL

Within Mannenji temple in Iwamizawa, Japan stands a small, ornately dressed doll with unusually long, realistic hair… and that’s the mysterious part. According to the tale, the doll had short-cropped hair when first purchased in 1918 as a present for a young girl named Okiku. When the girl died a year later, her grieving family placed it in a shrine in her honor, after which they claim its hair started to grow. The family believed the daughter’s spirit resided within the doll, and eventually donated it to the temple in 1938, where it remains today. Apparently several attempts have been made to trim the doll’s hair – which was analyzed and determined to be real human hair – but it always grows back.
(source-wikipedia.)

My view on this is that why do people think about this matter in another point of view??For example,this doll's could have been lenghtened by the dead girls own family members or the hair could be lenghtened by the priests in the temple just to have many visitors coming to the temple.Who knows,may be the doll might have had long hair eversince it was made.Nobody has seen how this doll originally was in 1918.Therefore it is easy for people to makeup their own stories about the doll's hair because,after all,people are just looking forward to sensational news,whether its true or not.

HAUNTED HAROLD

Harold bears the dubious distinction of being the first “haunted” doll to be purchased on eBay. When the auction was first posted by Greg Mishka in 2003, his over-the-top description of the doll’s deadly history went viral, making Harold an overnight paranormal web celeb. The first eBay buyer (a friend of Mishka’s family) dismissed the horrific warnings, claiming she simply wanted to restore the vintage doll… but oddly enough, she put it back up for auction the following year, saying only that Harold was “cursed.” The current owner claims to have recorded several psychic readings on the doll, and during some of these sessions Harold can be heard speaking in a man’s voice, threatening to kill the readers.
(source-wikipedia).

My take on this is that this whole story of harold being haunted is just unacceptable.With no proper reasoning to why Harold is claimed is to be haunted in the first place,how can someone just randomly say that the doll is cursed???There should be solid evidence to prove why the person thinks to why Harold is haunted.Another thing that austonishes me is that people very easily believed that Harold is a cursed doll.Without even verifying if the statement is true.People should stop believing such unproved,superficial claims on the internet.

HORROR MOVIE's FUNNY SIDE

Horror movies are becoming viral nowadays this genre has never failed to intrigue people's minds, which is why directors are into the "horror fever". However these horror movies fail to do their only job, which is to scare people. Instead, they turn out to be funny. Horror movies lacking in logic- what is the purpose?

Most of the horror movies include spanning an entire empty space in complete darkness, showing unidentifiable shadows lurking around at midnight and something pulling your bedsheets from under your bed. In what way does it turn out to be scary.? We all see empty, dark rooms everyday, but it doesn't mean it scares us all. Horror should be some external factor that gets your adrenaline pumping in fright, not having you yawning and easiy predicting the next scene.

Apart from the camera angles and scenes there are some techniques that are really silly, used by directors. I'm sure many of us have seen horror movies where the victim will have a nose bleed, victim's reflection won't be seen on the mirror and instances where the television will turn on by itself. Such techniques have been used very exhaustively in several horror films, that now, when these scenes come, people simply sit and stare at their screens instead of swallowing a scream.

Amidst all the horror movies that were created for mere existence we can handpick a few selected good horror movies that can really make you go sleepless for nights. Examples would be "friend request", "ouija board". Such movies really frighten people at the most unexpected moments. These movies are really worth both the theatre experience and money.

My take on horror movies is that such genre of films should be viewed simply for entertainment purposes, and should not be taken to heart. Although some movies may claim to be based on a true story, people should look at them from a scientific view and not believe the movie blatantly. Even though horror movies exist for entertainment, they should be logical and entertain people, not make them giggle.

Lothian Cemetery

 Delhi- one of the most developed metro cities of India is situated on the bank of river Yamuna. Beside being the capital of India, It is famous for offering luxurious life. On the primary take, It has a modern and attractive lifestyle, throng of Multinational companies,enormous crowd in a number of events and countless places to chill on. Latter one -Historical monuments, forts, tourist places and museums make delhi a classy city.Beyond all of this, this place has a very ancient history. It has been the capital of many empires. It does not matter how modern people had become, the existence of spirits is an unsolved mystery. Like every other place, Delhi has some real spooky locations too. If you like reading about real haunted places and creepy and spooky articles, "7 haunted places in Delhi" would surely gift you a thrilling reading session :

Lothian Cemetery
haunted places in Delhi

Located on Lothian road, It is half a kilometer away from kashmiri gate is one of the most haunted cemetery and also one of very few haunted places in Delhi.This christian cemetery is famous for many ghost stories. Visitors have often seen the ghost of headless person wandering near graves. Legends say, this person was once a  young soldier who got betrayed by his lover and cut his head. One can see him on new moon's night as he walks past the cemetery.(source-wikipedia)

Such sightings of ghosts are very common, especially in cemetries. When all cemetries are claimed to be house to many wandering spirits, why particularly point out lothian cemetry??Cemetries are just places for the bodies of the ceased to rest in peace.Also this story of a soldier has been included into the stories of the lothian cemetry just because the dead warriors romantic story will lure more visitors to that cemetry for unknown reasons.Popularising cemetries simply have no use in creating a sense of fear in people because regardless of these scary stories,people will still go to the cemetry to pay their respect to their loved ones.This is my take on this issue.

KONGKA LA PASS UFO BASE

UFO BASE AND HIDDEN CONSPIRACIES
From the time man started to create masterpieces and world wonders, there is a strong theory that says that these  were made possible only because of our alien friends. Giving proof to this claims are the many alleged sightings of UFOs or Unidentified Flying Objects. These can be dismissed as creativity gone wild by us the so-called rationales. But, can you believe that there is a UFO base near India- Chinese border? NO. Well, welcome to KONGKA LA PASS UFO BASE.

Up there, near the Himalayas, lies a piece of land right in the middle of the Indo-China border where no one is allowed to set foot or even go near.
Why?
This land where Ladakh (on the Indian side) and Aksai Chin (on the Chinese side) meet is a popular site for UFO sightings and ET activity; and both bordering countries know about it.
In fact, both governments seem to be in some kind of agreement with the alien inhabitants who’ve made this their permanent spot on earth…to come and go as they please.
Have you heard of the Kongka La Pass UFO base?

Evidence From the Locals…
Travel there now and ask any local living anywhere within 25 mile radius outside the Kongka La Pass UFO base enclosure and you will have the most amazing eye witness accounts of ET activity to last you a decade of excitement.
You might chance to see something while you’re out there too!
The locals will also tell you of their suspicions on a mutual agreement between the two countries and our alien vacationers…who actually have a permanent hangout joint right here under our noses!(source: realunexplained mysteries.com)

The geologists visiting the areas claim that they have seen huge metallic humanoids. Alien existence is possible for all that we know. Different theories are making rounds about aliens and their plan to invade earth. Hard to believe right.. if at all they plan on invasion they could've gotten mother earth in her much purer state thousands of years ago. But they haven't as of yet. Its better to stop worrying about these stories and keep working on preserving earth..

BOY AND CREEPY DOLL PAINTING

This Painting of a Boy and His Creepy Doll Friend.

A haunted doll doesn’t even have to be a 3-dimensional object to cause terror in the life of its owner. The painting, The Hands Resist Him, is said to come with a terrifying history:

“According to the couple, the figures in the painting moved around at night, sometimes disappearing from the canvas entirely. The boy in the painting was said to actually enter the room where the painting hung, and everyone who viewed the painting reported feeling sick and weak. Small children would take one look at the painting and run from the room screaming. Adults sometimes felt like unseen hands were grabbing them, and others said that they felt a blast of hot air, as if they had opened an oven.” (source-wikipedia)

My take on this that al the comments saying that this painting is haunted are false tales.First of all paintings are with chemicals that are scientific in nature.Science does not go well along with paranormal activities.How can a spirit possess a painting with no absolute reason??People should stop finding reasons to make something go viral or popular just for business sake.The story of spirits being in the painting is just a sales tactic according to me.The only way to stop these false statements is to think logically and not blindly believe in such stories.

ALLURING GHOST LIGHTS AND THEIR SECRET

ALLURING GHOST LIGHTS AND THEIR SECRET
In the middle of a lake if there is a light visible to you in the distant and invites you… take this free advice.. visit these beautiful ghost lights and even take selfies.. sounds stupid? Read on to find what ghost lights really are..
The marshes in West Bengal is where you can observe these ghost lights called Aleya or jack-o-lantern. These are nothing but a flickering ball of light that emerge in the marshy regions of West Bengal and Bangladesh and have caused many deaths too. The fishermen community of the area have often spotted these and has led to deaths of many fishermen who followed it or were transfixed after seeing Aleya. They believe that these lights are the spirits of dead fishermen who lost their lives fishing in the marshes. These lights at times confuse the fishermen causing them to fall in the water and drown. But at times, these also help guide them and prevent them from getting into danger.
Aleya ghost lights are not a new phenomenon and have been spotted at various places around the world. These lights known by different names have been associated with the paranormal or spirits of people. Some trying to help others while others leading them to their death. Once you follow them these lights flicker and diminish in size and often disappear that cause people to panic and lose their way. Not just in marshes, people around the world have seen these ghost lights in graveyards, swamps and bog lands.
These spook lights in Bengal are a common sighting and local fishermen will tell you tales about them. Would you dare to follow one if you ever see a ghost light?

The Theory: Scientists suggest that these lights are essentially ionization of methane over the marshes that forms out of the decaying organic matter present in abundance in these bogs.(source: india.com)
People will try to scare us even for the most bizarre reasons. The logical side of this whole ghost lights sound convincing enough, thus goes the story of how a perfectly normal ecological phenomenon changes into a scary story.
People tend to cook up all these stories. Beauty is sometimes dangerous.. true that. But not everything beautiful is harmful. Just to scare us these locals make us to fear this kind of rare yet alluring natural phenomenon.

Tall Mans Bunk Bed

These aren't just any bunk beds, these are haunted bunk beds. In February 1987 Alan And Debby Tallman bought some bunk beds for their children but they were placed in the basement for a few months until they could be moved upstairs into the children's room. For the entire nine months that the bunk beds were placed in the house, there was a number of mysterious encounters that the family could not explain. When listening to the radio it would begin to change station, the children became ill and when they slept in the beds, they said that they could see a witch. Not taking any risks, the family brought in a pastor to cleanse the house and although the activity died down, it quickly turned into a whole load of nope. Alan came home one day to hear a voice beckoning him into the garage saying 'come here' where he saw that the room was on fire. He ran out to get a fire extinguisher and on his return, the fire had disappeared. The only logical reason was to burn the bunk beds and once they were destroyed, the activity stopped.(source:wikipedia)

Before i tell my view,I am quiet puzzled with why people are associating non living objects with paranormal activities.Something should be considered a fetish only if it has gained some kind of recognition from a verifiable source.The evidence should be proved.Now my take on this is that the misterious happenings in that house is purely coincidental.Why would a normal wodden bunk bed blame for the misfortune that fell on the family.

MAPIMI SILENT ZONE

MAPIMI SILENT ZONE, MEXICO
What if in the middle of the desert, all your radio signals stop and you are not able to hear what the other person is talking?
If you’ve been lucky(or rather unlucky must I say?) you are standing in the silent zone. Want to know how you escape such a scenario? Read more.
The Mapimí Silent Zone (Spanish: La Zona del Silencio) is the popular name for a desert patch near the Bolsón de Mapimí in Durango, Mexico, overlapping the Mapimí Biosphere Reserve. It is the subject of an urban myth that claims it is an area where radio signals and any type of communications cannot be received.[1][2)

However, communications equipment tends to work properly in the zone. Guides assert that the zone moves around; as a result locals are highly skeptical of the zone's existence.[3]

In July 1970, an Athena test missile launched from a U.S. military base near Green River, Utah toward White Sands Missile Range lost control and fell in the Mapimí Desert region.[4] The rocket was carrying two small containers of cobalt 57, a radioactive element commonly associated with the construction of Salted bombs.[5][6] After several weeks of searching, local farmers found and reported the crash in the Northeast corner of the State of Durango. Once the rocket was found, a road was built to transport the wreckage, along with a small amount of contaminated top soil. As a result of the US Air Force recovery operations there, a number of myths and stories relating to the area arose, including "strange magnetic anomalies that prevent radio transmission", mutations of flora and fauna, and extraterrestrial visitations.(source: Wikipedia)
 These silent zones can be reasoned by science in the course of time. People go around making claims about these phenomenons just to get attention from the wide world.  Silent zones mentioned here keep moving  and are very difficult to locate. Why bother about non existent zones when we don't even know of their existence and nature...

NINE SECRET MEN

THE NINE SECRET MEN OF INDIA
Secret organizations all over the world are woven with a healthy dose of imagination by the natives of the land. India the mythological paradise is a place where many legends make rounds. One such famous legend is the tale of nine secret men of india. It is a remix  of the old tale that claims that secret organizations are formed for the purpose of keeping knowledge that would lead to mass destruction if caught on by the wrong hands.
here is a pervasive legend in India of a secret organization that allegedly has a vast amount of advanced knowledge in their possession. Believed to have been formed over 2000 years ago, the Nine Unknown Men is widely suspected of manipulating political and societal trends in order to further the personal goals of the Nine. But is such a secret organization a reality or is it merely the stuff of legend?

Most importantly, “he renounced the idea of trying to integrate the rebellious people, declaring that the only true conquest was to win men’s hearts by observance of the laws of duty and piety, because the Sacred Majesty desired that all living creatures should enjoy security, peace and happiness and be free to live as they pleased” (Pauwels and Bergier). So committed was the Emperor to this mission that he sought to prevent his fellow man from putting their intelligence towards perpetrating evil, particular the evil involved with warfare. The task of collecting, preserving, and containing all knowledge was too great for one emperor to do alone, not the least because of the other duties required by ruling an empire. So Ashoka summoned nine of the most brilliant minds in India at the time. For security purposes, the identity of these men was never made public. Together, these geniuses formed a secret society that came to be known as the Nine Unknown Men.
The organization set up accumulating all of the scientific knowledge they could, from natural science to psychology to the composition of matter. Fearing that if ordinary men were given scientific knowledge they would use it for destruction, only the Nine Men were allowed to study and develop scientific theories and technology. To better accomplish this daunting task, each of the nine was charged with a specific book that he was to update, revise, and ultimately perfect the knowledge therein. When one of the nine could no longer complete the task – whether from the wish to retire, fading health, or death - the obligation was passed to a chosen successor. The number of members in the society was always to be nine. Thus the society of the Nine Unknown Men has allegedly lived on for over 2000 years.

1923 Book
Speculation about the contents of each of the nine books varies widely. Talbot Mundy, an English writer, published a book entitled The Nine Unknown Men in 1923, which contained a list of the nine books. This list has come to be generally accepted.
“1. Propaganda: The first book dealt with techniques of propaganda and psychological warfare. “The most dangerous of all sciences is that of molding mass opinion, because it would enable anyone to govern the whole world,” according to Mundy.
2. Physiology: The second book discussed physiology and explains how to kill a person simply by touching him or her, known as the “the touch of death,” simply by the reversal of a nerve impulse. It is said that the martial art of Judo is a result of “leakages” from the second book.
3. Microbiology: The third volume focused on microbiology and biotechnology.
4. Alchemy The fourth dealt with alchemy and transmutation of metals. According to another legend, in times of severe drought, temples and religious relief organizations received large quantities of gold from “a secret source.”
5. Communication: The fifth book contained a study of all means of communication, terrestrial and extraterrestrial. Alluding then that the Nine Unknown Men were aware of alien presence.
6. Gravity: The sixth book focused on the secrets of gravitation and actual instructions on how to make the ancient Vedic Vimana, (like Vaiminika Shastra on aerospace technology).
7. Cosmogony: The seventh contained cosmogony and matters of the universe.
8. Light: The eighth dealt with light including the speed and how to use it as a weapon.
9. Sociology: The ninth and final book discussed sociology. It included rules for the evolution of societies and the means of foretelling their decline.” (Mundy paraphrased by Ancient Explorers)(source: ancient-origins.net)

These theories and stories about the secret societies are shady and may not be true. Who knows.. all these legends claim that intelligence is lethal which is true to an extent after all the destructions caused by man are numerous. Hiding knowledge as by these legends make it even more dangerous and can lead to large scale annihilation if exposed through wrong means. Let's hope these are not true and knowledge is spread in a safe way.

Valentino ring

Rudolph Valentino was considered to be one of the greatest silent actors of all time and it wasn't until he bought a ring that everything went pear shaped for his career, and for himself. He bought a ring in the 1920s and supposedly, when he showed off his new purchase to a friend, they had an image of him as a corpse. Valentino shrugged off the premonition but ever since this encounter, he was plagued with bad luck. His career flopped and he died not long after, his lover who also wore the ring became mysteriously ill, and the person who played him in a biography of his life also died having worn the ring. Years later, a man named Joe Casino bought the ring and waited seven years until he thought the curse was lifted until he wore the ring. He died a week later. Is fashion worth dying for? (Source:wikipedia)

My take on this is that this story is utterly unbelieveable.How can someone die because of a ring?There was a statement where valentinos friend had a dream of him as a deadbody.However all of us also have dreams of people dying.Does that mean all of those people whom we dreamt of have passed away??All these stories should be looked at from a scientific point of view.Coincidental events like this should not be confused with supernatural powers that dont even exist.

BERMUDA TRIANGLE
The mystery of Bermuda triangle is sure to leave us speculating and spell-bound. This small area of the ocean which looks like a triangle from arial view is infamous for its tradition of disappearances, be it ship or air plane or any of the human mode of transportation.

About Bermuda Triangle
Bermuda Triangle is a strange triangular area on the Atlantic ocean where many ships sailing through it or planes flying over it have apparently disappeared without a trace. In few of such cases where wrecks could be found, the crew had vanished. And such incidents have been happening since centuries. More than 1,000 ships and planes have disappeared in the triangle area over the past five centuries.

Where is Bermuda Triangle?
By the simplest of all definitions, Bermuda Triangle is located off the South-Eastern coast of the United States and in the Atlantic Ocean. The three corners of the triangle are: Miami (in Florida); San Juan (in Puerto Rico); and Bermuda (a north-Atlantic island). The American author Vincent Gaddis was the first to define this boundary in 1964 in an issue of the magazine named Argosy and called the area 'The Deadly Bermuda Triangle'.

Theories explaining the mysteries
So what caused the ships and aircraft to disappear mysteriously? There have been many research and explorations done to uncover the mystery. There is no single theory that can explain all the incidents of disappearances. The ships and aircraft could have been victims of different circumstances, and things would have happened quickly and unexpectedly. While many theories have come up from researchers and scientists trying to explain the various incidents, here are few of the most popular ones:

Hexagonal Cloud & Air Bombs in Bermuda Triangle?

The Science Channel and other sources have recently confirmed that scientists and meteorologists have recently spotted some strange cloud formations. Series of hexagon shaped clouds with straight edges exist over an area of Atlantic ocean spreading from 20 to 55 miles each.
Meteorologists have also confirmed that such straight edge hexagonal clouds are like air bombs. They can blast anytime and generate vertical wind speed of up to 170 miles per hour gushing down to the ocean. Such wind gush can easily overturn and sink a ship or damage an aircraft that could be caught in that vertical wind.

And such vertical blasts of winds (also known as micro blasts) coming down from the clouds above would also create dangerous giant waves as high as 45-ft as well as high speed surface wind.

So, is this the same phenomena taking place under the hexagonal clouds at Bermuda Triangle? That is the only thing that needs to be confirmed through satellite radar equipment. And if done, that would hopefully explain many incidents of disappearances in Bermuda Triangle. But it is still far from being proven and many scientists are already dismissing this theory due to lack of evidence on the triangle.
Sargasso Sea & Its Mystery

The Sargasso Sea is a strange and a unique creation of the nature. The sea area which is some 700 miles wide, 2000 miles long and located in the North Atlantic, has no shores. It is bounded by ocean currents on all sides. To its west is the Gulf Stream Current, on its east is the Canary Current, northern side is bounded by North Atlantic Current, and the south by North Atlantic Equatorial Current. The island of Bermuda is located on its western fringes.

With such ocean currents on all sides, this sea area unlike the harsh cold North Atlantic, is strangely warm with stable weather conditions and with calm and weak winds. Another strange phenomena which is nowhere seen in the world is, this vast water area is covered with some dense seaweed which forms a thick mat on the surface. This free floating golden-brown seaweed is knows as Sargassum and therefore such name of the sea.
The Bermuda Triangle Connection
Sargasso Sea is located at the heart of the triangle area with one of its corners Bermuda being on its western fringes.

While it is known that the large freighters and barges can steam through this area with ease and the seaweed not a real threat to shipping, there have been many mysterious incidents that took place in this area.

Starting from early days and until recent times, there have been many cases where ships after having been lost were later found floating derelict without a single soul on board. As reported in London Times, the Rosalie was one such case when it sailed through the Sargasso Sea in 1840 not to be found. When it reappeared, there was nobody on board.  (source: Bermuda attractions.com)

These theories though convincing  are not proof enough to claim that the mystery is solved. Whatever the case or theory is, one point is apparent. These mysterious disappearances are due to a geological phenomenon that we are yet to fully understand and prove. With so many scientific advancements it is high time we make efforts to solve this puzzle rather than just spread rumors about it.. don’t you think?

FEAR’s ECONOMY
False Evidence Appearing Real is the famous acronym of FEAR. The fear of the unknown consumes us  to such an extent that we are ready to spend so much money on curbing this fear. There is an independent economic market existing in our society thriving on the fear of people. Starting from religion to satanic curses we depend on mediators of God or demi-God as the case may be to help us communicate with gods and fulfill our desires. These priests cleverly use this fear of the common man and prospers in life. We irrationally spend so much money just to remain on the safer side.. after all no one wants to displease the spirits.

Many a times we don’t even think twice, before dropping money in a place of religious worship. We are living in an age where rockets are sent to mars to find the possibility of life-form, yet we fear the local deity. The people who benefit the most from these are the ill-minded  priests, tantriks, etc, These people are not really interested in the spiritual health of the individual but the personal benefits of themselves. These people not only  make the individuals who seek opinions spend their wealth on these unfruitful activities but also get psychologically affected. The priests offer no support to these poor souls.

Whenever these priests  bring up the subject of curses or evil following normal public go crazy about the whole deal and spend thousands and thousands on finding and fixing fault in our stars. All our troubles and misfortunes are blamed on the stars above us and gods in the world. Irrational beliefs are watered and then  these beliefs become deep rooted in the people’s minds.

Whatever be it these kind of  money making  mafias are nothing but  an evil element to   our progressing society. These people are feeding on our fear and are making money out of it. If we think back and reflect upon our spendings on these kind of religious events,  they are doing nothing material but is only giving us psychological satisfaction.  Decide for yourself if this  money is worth spending or not.

Delhi cantonment

Apparently, a charming lady dressed in white asks for a lift or runs at the speed of the car that passes by the area.The first haunted place in our list is Delhi Cantonment. It is one of the most haunted sites in Delhi. It is said that Delhi Cantonment is a shelter of a lady ghost, who was supposedly killed in a car accident. Many people who have visited the area have experienced her existence. The lady’s spirit tries to attract people who pass by the area.

My view on this is that these are merely just people's tales to scare anyone in that area.It may have started of as a joke and coincidentally someone might have really seen some kind of white fog on a misty night and would have mistaken to be the ghost mentioned in the joke.To prove this we can look at the photograph above where its an actual women in a white saree.If the ghost was real, why didn't capture the exact ghost on camera???Its a question to be pondered upon...

DJINN

The Djinn are said to be creatures with free will, made from 'smokeless fire' by Allah in the same way humans were made of earth. According to the Qur'an, Djinn have free will, and Iblis used this freedom in front of Allah by refusing to bow to Adam when Allah told Iblis to do so. By refusing to obey Allah order he was thrown out of the Paradise and called “Shaitan” (See Shaitan and Satan). Djinn are frequently mentioned in the Qur'an, Sura 72 of the Holy Qur'an (named Al-Jinn) is entirely about them. Another Sura (Al-Naas) mentions the Djinn in the last verse. It is also mentioned in the Qur'an that Muhammad was sent as a prophet to both “humanity and the Djinn”.

In the world there are three main creations, Angels, Humans and Jinns (other than various animals).

Angels: Angels are made from light (Noor-). In Islam they are known as the Light of God. They do not commit any sin nor disobey God and they always worship him.

Human: Humans are created from earth and are given free will to do good or bad in this life. Because of the free will they will be held accountable for their choices in this life on the Day of Judgement. Because of that free will, those who follow and obey God (Allah), will be rewarded with paradise/heaven.

Jinns: Jinns are also in the category of humans in the sense of free will. The only difference is that they are made of smokeless fire and therefore are not visible to humans. There are more jinns than humans in terms of population. Jinns have the power to fly and fit in to any space so they live in remote areas, mountains, seas, trees, and in the air in their own communities. We can't see them and they also can't see us clearly. Humans are only visible as a very blurry image to them, very few jinns are able to see humans like humans can see other humans. Like humans, Jinns will also be judged on judgment day and will be sent to heaven or hell according to the life they lead. Jinns can both Muslim and non-Muslim. The non-Muslim Jinns form part of an army or group and then are known as a shaitan. Every person is assigned a special jinn to them, also called a qareen, they are the jinns what whisper into your soul and tell you to give into your evil desires. The Prophet Muhammed's jinn turned into a Muslim jinn, on the recitation of the Qur'an, as the jinn found it most beautiful, now the jinn only tells him to do good.               (source-wikipedia)

My take on this is that since this is a religious view point its not right to judge whether its true or false.Judging will lead to controversy.Therefore this information should be only looked up to as a reference and not of something lacking in logic.
