Throughout the island, different kinds of broken dolls are found hanging eerily from the trees. These were all hung by Julián Santana Barrera, the former owner of the island, because she believed that the dolls helped chase away the spirit of a girl who had drowned years ago.

The island is creepy and weird. Mexico needs a new island, one that isn't creepy and weird.

Why don't they record a horror movie there?

In scientific terms, this waterfall is saltwater that's gotten mixed up with too much iron oxide. But it appears as if the falls are pouring blood due to its red color, hence the name.

Officially known as Roopkund, this lake isn't much different from any other, except for the fact that hundreds of human remains from the 9th century are visible at its bottom when the snow melts.

The bones are there because of a hailstorm. The hailstones were the size of tennis balls.

This lake is notable for its pink color. It isn't a trick of the light. It's the algae living in it that give the lake its glossy pink sheen. Despite the unusual hue, it is still safe to swim in.

Yeah, it looks unique compared to other lakes. I didn't know that there was a lake like this.

Pretty beautiful, honestly. It doesn't taste as good as it looks, though. Believe me, I've tried it.

These magnificent ice sculptures are actually trees covered in ice and snow during winter in a -40-degree climate. It looks like a scene straight from a sci-fi film, doesn't it?

The Sea of Stars on Vaadhoo Island attracts millions of tourists annually, and it isn't surprising why. The beach got its name from the fact that the sand and the waves appear blue at night, giving the impression of the sky and its stars sitting on the beach.

The Chocolate Hills are a geological formation in the Bohol province. They are a collection of brown hills covered in green grass that turns brown during the dry seasons, giving them their name. There are three stories about how the hills came to be:

- A giant carabao kept eating the townspeople's crops, so the people got angry and fed all their spoiled food to the carabao. It left dung mounds that dried and became the hills.

- A giant named Arogo, who was powerful and youthful, fell in love with a woman named Aloya, a simple mortal. Her death left him so heartbroken that he couldn't stop crying. When his tears dried, the Chocolate Hills were formed.

- Two fighting giants hurled rocks, boulders, and sand at one another. This lasted for many days and eventually tired out the two giants. They forgot about their feud and befriended each other, but they didn't clean up the mess they made, creating the hills.

Optical illusions make the downward-sloping roads appear to slope upwards in defiance of gravity when they are, in fact, rolling downhill.

In Lake Natron, you could literally turn to stone.

I've been here, and I must confess it was a really magical and strange experience. There are crosses, big and small, everywhere, and the entire experience of walking around here was surreal. It's like walking into a massive graveyard, yet something feels off. It's especially creepy at night!
