India has always been called a land of mysteries, for its
natural phenomena or eccentricities associated with religion and cultures since
time immemorial. Mysteries that are difficult to explain. There are events that
occur that probably have no explanations whatsoever. Such tales are born out of
rumours or imagination. Most of these may be fabricated and can be put off the
table, but some tales are strange enough to be shrugged off. These have the
ability to change the perception of modern science. Let me take you through
some of these mystical unsolved mysteries that are still asking for answers. No
scientific reasoning has been able to solve these cases. Check the list and see
if you have answers to these mysteries:
1.

Located in a
small village is a 700 years old Hazrat Qamar Ali Darvesh Dargah. It is famous
for a 90 kg stone that can be lifted in no other way except 11 people in total
gather around it, place their index fingers under it and shout the name of the
Sufi saint who put a curse on the stone; and that is when it levitates
automatically higher than their heads. No matter what you do there is no other
way to levitate that rock except this one.
2.

known as Blood Rain was a phenomenon that occurred in 2001 in Idduki, Kerala. This

observed red rain falling over the place. The rain colours, even laundry left in
open to dry and reminds of human blood. Such incidents are unexplained through
scientific reasons and render them so mysterious that they are marked in our
minds forever.

migratory birds and local birds commit suicide in the village between 7-10 pm.

be precise, that hangs from the roof defies the law of gravity.
