http://youtu.be/TKKSutZc-pM Easter Island is one of the most isolated islands in the world. Once, it was covered with forests filled with different trees and ferns. But when the first humans came to the island around 400 CE, the forests slowly began to disappear. And starting from 1250 CE, Moai Statues began appearing all over the place. People made them from different types of rock: compressed volcanic ash, basalt, trachyte, and red scoria. Then, at some point, they stopped, and it's interesting to know why. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spot...

http://youtu.be/AdwHGmFj23E Are you ready to visit the most mysterious places hidden in the mountains? Our first stop will be in Switzerland: standing at the door of the castle, you can't really believe what you see: a 13th-century fortress built entirely of stone. On the outskirts of Çorum in Turkey, you'll find a valley filled with old overgrown mountains and see the beginning of the trail you're about to hike. The huge door is a massive arched stone that blocks the entrance to a hidden building. Experts think it has existed since the second century BCE. But let's hurry up - we have many more places to explore! #brightside Credit: CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/: Interior of Bet Debre Sina: Adam Jones - https://flic.kr/p/ehZ9FH, https://commons.wikimedia....

http://youtu.be/DJGCUAzUZQk Tuesday, July 5, 2022. Shortly after a heavy storm, the sky over South Dakota in the US was still overcast. Locals finally went outside and saw that the sky had an intense dark green hue, and they'd never seen anything like that before. People said that it looked like something straight up from science fiction or even a horror movie. So… What happened there? Was it caused by humans or by nature? Let's find out. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://...

http://youtu.be/rnQ3j5-TMn4 You can find all sorts of unusual and even creepy things in your basement. One Reddit user went to the basement and found a huge bank vault there. There was this round, thick metal door leading to the bank safe. He didn't find any money or gold, but the vault was in excellent condition. As it turned out, there used to be a bank in the building, and when it went bankrupt, all it left behind was a vault. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQ...

http://youtu.be/w0J7MQvPmZU If you've ever wondered what it's like to live on Mars, head to Devon Island. It’s easy to see why people find it impossible to make a home here: the soil stays frozen throughout the seasons. The only way to reach the Pitcairn Islands is to take a 32-hours yacht ride. No wonder only 50 people are known to live here. To visit the remotest village in the whole world, you’ll need to prepare yourself for quite the journey. From the United States, for example, the easiest route involves a 15-hour flight to Cape Town, South Africa, followed by a six-day boat ride to reach Tristan da Cunha. Let's explore these and other unique places. #brightside Credit: Houghton Crater: By NASA, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=119487721 Devon Island: By NASA/GSFC...

http://youtu.be/m7gzZAkPWVQ In 1997, a phone on an American radio show rang. A man on the other end of the line introduced himself as Mel Waters and told the story of how he found a bottomless pit while fishing. Some people believe the hole goes all the way down to the center of our planet, and others go so far to think it’s a secret portal to another dimension. A few people think Mel’s hole is a spot where space and time are warped. So, what is it in reality, and how deep are some other famous holes in the world? #brightside Credit: CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/: Direct view: Rakot13, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%A1%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0_%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0(%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B0),_%D0%B...

http://youtu.be/J_KC-cS3gK8 From mysterious stairs in the woods to gravitational anomalies - our world is full of unique places that are waiting for you to discover them. A volcano in Indonesia spews bright-blue lava and produces electric blue and purple flames. This phenomenon occurs because the volcano has some of the highest levels of sulfur in the world. Cave of Crystals in Mexico is home to the world's most unique crystal formations. The Niihau Island actually rejects the fruits of today’s advancements, let's find out what exactly is going on there. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify...

http://youtu.be/GfYUduf0kRk You must have heard stories about the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, where ships have disappeared for a long time. But it's not the only place on our planet that's worthy of a movie plot. From 1960 to 2004, some 24 people went missing in Nome, Alaska. For a long time, no one could solve the mystery. The truth turned out stranger than most versions. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz --------------------------------------------...

http://youtu.be/bq9wBg4jt78 Lava rivers rapidly flowing down the slopes, deafening noise filling the air, clouds of volcanic gas and ash covering the sky. We all used to seeing volcano eruptions in movies, and they do look spectacular. But witnessing a volcano eruption in real life, especially when it's the world's biggest volcano, will unlikely be that amazing for you. In 2021, scientists were sure Mauna Loa would wake up soon. So far, the volcano's seismicity keeps increasing and then going back to normal. But you never know when this giant will finally come back to life. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side ...

http://youtu.be/JDwtPm_Ff-s In the past 30 years, scientists have made an incredible discovery of a new creature living deep beneath the surface of the ocean: the harp sponge. Even scientists were surprised to find that this creature was more than just a sponge. The harp sponge is very much a deep-sea hunter! It has a unique ability to capture and envelop small animals using its rhizoids – short, thin fibers. Let's find out more about it and other sea monsters! #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Br...

http://youtu.be/nW-lgo-JnLo Ross Island is a small territory in the Indian Ocean. They used to call this island the Paris of the East, but now it’s nothing like it used to be, with all the architecture almost entirely covered in tree roots and vines. Another famous abandoned spot is a castle that dominates the view in Craco, a city in Italy. One of the highlights of the tour of it is a statue that seemingly came out of nowhere and now lies in a body of water. So, are you ready for a mysterious and spooky tour of some abandoned places around the world? #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and...

http://youtu.be/_KqMioXJuoM Back in 1911, a standard train was scheduled to depart from a railway station in Rome, hoping to reach the city of Milan. As it was completing its journey, the train was supposed to pass through a long tunnel. It did enter it but never came out the other end of the tunnel. Fifteen years later, a story spread about a group of 104 Italian people that popped up in Mexico City, claiming they had arrived by train from Rome, 66 years before the train even departed in the first place! Could this mysterious story be real, and is it the only one of its kind? #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright ...

http://youtu.be/SuNyvas49v8 This video discusses an island that was first discovered in 1876 but was later removed from all maps. In 2012, the island reappeared on Google Maps, and researchers were able to find it using echolocation devices. However, they were still unable to find any signs of human activity on the island. Some theories suggest that the island is actually a piece of technology created by space civilizations. #brightside Credit: CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/: Lord Howe Island phasmid: By Granitethighs, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=15476183 Lord Howe Island stick insect Pengo: Peter Halasz, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=664959 Animation is created by Bright Side. -----------------------------------...

http://youtu.be/RUISM3Lwllw Are you ready to explore some new unique places? Then let's get on a boat: looks like a huge vessel has just sunk in the distance. In a couple of minutes, you see a small piece of land appear right in front of your eyes. It's releasing flames and lava. For the next three years, the small island covered with volcanoes will be slowly emerging from the water. Every day it'll erupt and fill the sky with black ash. What secret is it hiding? #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscrib...
