Top 10 Highest paying Jobs

Hedge fund managers get all the attention, but when you look at median salaries, jobs in the health care field dominate this list with medical occupations rounding out the top three.

1. Surgeon

Surgeons command the highest median salary of all careers — both in and out of health care — likely because the job requires such specialized skills. While earnings depend on the type of surgery done, the annual median wage for surgeons was $352,000 in 2015, and the 10-year projected growth rate is 18%.

2 Psychiatrist 
In 2015, psychiatrists made an annual median wage of $181,880. Like surgeons, the 10-year projected growth rate for psychiatrists is 18%.

3. General Practice Physician

General practice physicians earned an annual median wage of $180,180, just $700 less than the average psychiatrist. The growth outlook for this profession is also 18%. Since most people need a general practice physician regardless of health and age, the demand for them is expected to rise as more Americans gain access to health insurance.

4. Senior Level Corporate Executive

This is where many of the world’s highest-paid people can be found. Running a successful organization is a high-stress job with inordinate challenges. However, because the list of highest-paying jobs is based on median wages, average pay in the corporate world falls below that of medical doctors. Senior level corporate executives had an annual median wage of $173,320 in 2015 and a projected job growth rate of 11% over the next 10 years.

5. Dentist

Dentists had an annual median wage of $146,340 in 2015, and they have a 10-year projected job growth rate of

6. Petroleum Engineer
Petroleum engineers only require a bachelor’s degree and earn an annual median wage of $130,050. Since oil exploration and extraction are critical to the world’s economy, the need for more engineers drives both high growth outlook (26% over 10 years) and wages that rank among the world's best.

7. Orthodontist 

With an annual median wage of $129,110, orthodontists fell short of the No. 6 position in 2015 by less than $1,000 in average annual income. Orthodontists are expected to be in higher demand in areas with more accessibility to comprehensive dental insurance. The 10-year growth outlook for this occupation is also 16%.

8. Data Scientist

In the age of information technology, data scientist is a burgeoning career. The field's skill set is still new, and those trained in data science can command competitive salaries. In 2015, the average salary for a data scientist was $124,150. There was no data to support that an advanced degree increased pay in this field. The profession has an expected growth rate of 15% over the next decade.

9. Air Traffic Controller

The demand for air traffic controllers has fallen as a result of automation and the economic woes of the travel industry. Nevertheless, the stress and specialized skills this job requires command high pay. Air traffic controllers had an annual median wage of $122,340 in 2015. However, the 10-year job growth outlook is only 1%.

10. Pharmacist

The annual median wage of pharmacists was $120,950 in 2015, and growth outlook for the profession over the next 10 years is 14%. Becoming a pharmacist requires post-graduate education and special certification. However, as more people gain access to medication through increased health coverage, pharmacists are in growing demand.

Top 10 Deepest Places on Earth

It’s well-known that there are miles of layers between the ground we walk on and the solid core of the Earth, some 4000 miles away. But how close can you get to that core? There are places on Earth which naturally go down to unbelievable depths, and then there are man-made structures that try to reproduce that. This list could easily consist of nothing but ocean trenches, but for a bit of variety we’ve included some other deep places, some of which are accessible…but most are not. Find out more in our Top 10 Deepest Places on Earth.

10. Woodingdean Well

We’ll start with a man-made feat, and a remarkable one at that. Going down to 850 feet below sea level, the Woodingdean Well is the world’s deepest hand-dug well and was started in 1858. It took 4 years to complete and in total was 1285 feet, although the initial plan was to dig just 400. It was all done by groups of men on rickety ladders, sweating in the intense heat of the hole and at least one man lost his life during the project. Even more remarkably, it was dug largely by paupers from the local workhouse who, presumably, were in no position to complain about the extremely unsafe conditions. The hole is still there, deep into the earth, but has been covered over at the surface level.

9. Tagebau Hambach

At 961 feet below sea level, the Tagebau Hambach mine is an open lignite mine in Elsdorf, Germany and it is the deepest open mine in the world. The whole mine is 1213 feet deep and contains the biggest excavator in the world, which removes around 24,000 tonnes of lignite every day – around a stadium’s worth. It even has its own tourist attraction –  Sophienhöhe, an artificial wooden hill from which visitors can see the mine. It’s also a record holder in its own right, being the biggest artificial hill in the world – at 990 feet above sea level, it’s as high as the mine is deep. Both are worth visiting!

8. El Zacatón

And now for something that’s not artificial – the world’s deepest sinkhole. Sinkholes are a curious natural phenomenon, as they just appear in the Earth with no warning and when this happens in populated areas, the devastation can be terrible. However, this is no new sinkhole – Zacatón in Mexico has been around since the Pleistocene, and is a beautiful natural feature, filled with water. It goes down to 1112 feet below sea level, which was measured by an automated robot. Humans have also tried to reach the bottom, with a pair of divers in 1994 getting down as far as 925 feet. However, one of them – Sheck Exley – sadly died from high pressure nervous syndrome at around 900 feet, showing that depths like this can be dangerous, even for highly experienced cave divers (Exley was an expert in the subject and had written books about it). Since then, no other people have attempted to reach the bottom. Beautiful but dangerous.

7. Lake Baikal

Another natural wonder, Lake Baikal in Russia is the deepest lake in the world, reaching down to 5,387 feet. There has been much exploration of the lake, with the Russian Academy of Sciences sending small submersible craft down there in 2008 and they reached a depth of 5,180 feet, failing to break the world record for deepest freshwater dive (the record was also set in Baikal, by Anatoly Sagalevich in 1990 and he reached 5,371 feet). But the scientists are not the only ones with an interest in Baikal – it’s also much desired by the leisure industry, as the clear waters – known as the “Pearl of Siberia” – bring tourists flocking to its shores. New hotels and an adventure trail are being planned for the lakeside but thankfully other plans in the region – like installing an oil pipe under the lake – have come to nothing. So it looks like Baikal will be preserved for the future, and one day someone might even reach the bottom of it…

6. Krubera Voronya Cave

Now, here’s one that’s not for anyone who’s a bit claustrophobic. Voronya cave in Georgia is the deepest cave in the world, reaching down 7,208 feet. The cave actually has two names – Krubera was given to it in the 1960s, after the Russian geographer Alexander Kruber but the explorers who came later called it “Voronya Cave” which means “Cave of Crows” – after, of course, the crows that gathered there. Since 2000, expeditions down the cave have become a yearly occurrence, with teams from the Ukraine, Britain, France and Spain attempting to establish just how deep it is. Expeditions during the 80s regularly pushed the cave depth up by hundreds of meters – it might be that Voronya is much deeper than we even suspect.  It’s certainly the only cave on Earth deeper than 2000 metres (6,561 feet) and mapping it is a daunting and very long-term task!

5. Kidd Mine

The deepest mine on Earth is Mponeng Mine in South Africa, at a depth of 13,123 feet. However, the mine that goes deepest below sea level is Kidd Mine in Ontario, Canada which reaches 8,967 feet below sea level. The total depth is around 10,000 feet and as it’s so far north, it is closer to the center of the Earth than any other mine. It opened in 1964, as an open-pit mine and has gradually expanded underground. It is now the biggest copper mine in the world, employing 2,200 workers and producing millions of tonnes of ore every year. It is due to close in 2017 after receiving extra funding in 2008 to carry on work until then.

4. Litke Deep

As mentioned earlier, the deepest places on Earth all tend to be under the ocean. So here’s the deepest Arctic trench – the Litke Deep in the Eurasian Basin. At 350 km north of the “arctic wilderness” of Svalbard, it’s at one of the extremes of the Earth, so as well as being very deep (17,881 feet) it’s also very cold. It’s the 20th deepest ocean trench in the world and probably one of the most inhospitable places in the world. It was named after the ice-breaking ship that discovered it in 1955 – the Fyodor Litke. The icebreaker had been in service since 1909 and had been heavily used in the Soviet era for Arctic exploration. It also served during the Second World War and was eventually scrapped in 1960.

3. Milwaukee Deep

There are many deep trenches in the Atlantic Ocean – the Romanche Trench at 25,459 feet and the South Sandwich trench at 27,650 are just two of them. But the deepest of them all is the Puerto Rico Trench, and specifically the Milwaukee Deep, which reaches 28,680 feet below sea level. It’s found 76 miles north of Puerto Rico and was named after the USS Milwaukee, which discovered the deep on February 14th 1939 and recorded the reading of 28,860 feet. 13 years later, the wildlife vessel Theodore N. Gill also measured the deep and recorded a depth of 28,560 feet.

The Puerto Rico Trench itself is located along the border that marks where the Caribbean Sea ended and the Atlantic Ocean starts. It’s near a fault zone, which raises geologists as they believe it might cause an earthquake very soon, which in turn would generate a tsunami. It’s not happened yet, which is why geologists feel it’s overdue for a major event. A very deep and very dangerous trench.

2. Mariana Trench

The top five deepest trenches are all in the Pacific Ocean – the Tonga Trench, the Philippine Trench, the Kuril- Kamchatka Trench and the Kermadec Trench are all over 30,000 feet deep but the deepest of them all is the Mariana Trench, at an amazing 35,994 feet deep. Being the deepest in the world, it has been the subject of much exploration and at one point there was an intense competition between entrepreneur Richard Branson and film director James Cameron as to who could reach the bottom first. Cameron won, reaching the bottom in March 2012. He descended in his “torpedo sub”in 2 hours 36 minutes before spending a few hours taking samples from the trench floor. He then noticed oil leaking from his 43-inch sub and so decided to ascend before he was stranded down there. There are several unusual lifeforms at the bottom of the trench, including  foot-long amphipods and sea cucumbers that camouflage themselves against the sandy bottom. There is almost certainly more to be discovered at the bottom of the trench and, given the interest in what lies down there, there’s bound to be more explorations soon.

1. Kola Superdeep

It’s well-known that there are miles of layers between the ground we walk on and the solid core of the Earth, some 4000 miles away. But how close can you get to that core? There are places on Earth which naturally go down to unbelievable depths, and then there are man-made structures that try to reproduce that. This list could easily consist of nothing but ocean trenches, but for a bit of variety we’ve included some other deep places, some of which are accessible…but most are not.

Steve Jobs' Last Words Will Make You Change Your View Of Life Completely!

I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world.

In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success.

However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.

At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.

In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of god of death drawing closer…

Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth…

Should be something that is more important:

Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days …

Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me.

God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth.

The wealth I have won in my life I cannot bring with me.

What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love.

That’s the true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on.

Love can travel a thousand miles. Life has no limit. Go where you want to go. Reach the height you want to reach. It is all in your heart and in your hands.

What is the most expensive bed in the world? – “Sick bed” …


You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you.

Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – “Life”.

When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading – “Book of Healthy Life”.

Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.

Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends.

Top 10 Foods for Living Longer

Believe it or not, there are foods that will allow you to live longer. A lot of people wonder whether or not there is a simple route towards longer living and eating right is definitely a step in the right direction. The best part is that you don’t need to look any further than your local stores for the top 10 foods that we are about to cover.



10. Broccoli



Broccoli has more Vitamin C in it than most fruits. It contains a larger percentage of calcium than milk and has more fiber than bread. To put it simply, it is the best of all three worlds and will help you live longer. Broccoli is made up of a very powerful anti-carcinogen, which is basically a chemical that helps fight cancer and cancer-related substances. It doesn’t stop there. Broccoli can also help prevent heart disease, ulcers, and various other viruses.



9. Chamomile



Another food that you could take in order to live longer is chamomile. This food is a member of the dairy family and it contains many healing properties. For one, it is similar to a muscle relaxant and it will decrease a lot of physical tension in your body. This reduces the chance of having a heart attack induced by stress. To top it all off, chamomile will allow your body to detoxify as it removes harmful waste products from building up.



8. Cranberries



Eating cranberries can provide your body with a high amount of vitamin C as well as chemicals that are designed to defend your body against bacteria. Aside from the fact that cranberries taste good, they can also fight cancer as well as urinary tract infections. You can eat cranberries with oatmeal, muffins or simply drink it as a juice for the best results.



7. Oily Fish



When people search for foods that are going to help them live longer, they hardly ever think that fish or fish-related products would make it onto the list. The reality is though that these foods are actually the healthiest for you. More specifically, oily fish (like trout and salmon) are all very loaded with omega-3 and fatty acids. Because of this, they can successfully lower your cholesterol level as well as prevent you from having blood clot or stroke. The best way to eat oily fish is grilled, baked, or raw.



6. Lemons



Lemons are extremely rich in vitamin C. Because of this, they can help ward off infections as well as prevent sore throats and mouth ulcers. The best part is that lemons can go well with most foods and drinks and they don’t contain many calories. You can try squeezing a fresh lemon over some fish or into an empty glass or you can eat it raw if you are feeling up to it. In some cases, lemons even go well with certain sauces and salad dressings.


5. Onions



Okay, while onions may not be the best tasting food on the list, they happen to be quite healthy. They contain high amounts of vitamin C and antioxidants. Ironically though, even though onions may cause your breath to smell bad, they actually lessen the chance of you experiencing a disease that is breathing-related. Onions can protect your body from asthma as well as various other inflammatory diseases. Above all, they help prevent the production of cancer cells within your body.



4. Oats



Oats contain a lot of calcium as well as fiber. If you plan on living forever, then you should heavily consider adding this nutritious food into your diet. Oats will prevent your teeth from falling out and they will keep your bones from becoming brittle as you get older. Finally, eating oats will reduce blood pressure and lessen the chance of colon cancer. Oats typically come in the form of oatmeal and taste good.



3. Tomatoes

Tomatoes are good because they contain an antioxidant called “lycopene”. Basically, eating this food on a regular basis will strengthen your immune system as well as reduce the risk of various cancers from forming in your body. Plus, degenerative diseases will dramatically be slowed down. A lot of people enjoy eating tomatoes when they are hot. However, you can eat them raw as well. They go good on sandwiches and you can even drink them as a juice.














2. Green Tea



It really doesn’t get much better than green tea. This is an ancient Asian drink that contains three vitamins (A, E, and C) as well as a few important antioxidants. Green tea will lessen the chance of getting cancer, since it prevents the oxidation of cells and it can even fortify your immune system as you get older. It will fight heart disease and can even lower blood pressure. While green tea is capable of all these things, it is also a great tasting beverage that goes good with most foods and occasions.



1. Flaxseeds



Flaxseeds are a food that is relatively rich in fiber and that will lower your cholesterol. They can accomplish wonders and will even discourage the spread of various cancer cells throughout the body. Flaxseeds also contain omega-3 fatty acids that will help keep your heart strong and prevent heart disease. Above all, flaxseeds taste fairly good and should be stored in a fridge until you are ready to eat them.

THE SPIRIT WORLD

What happens when we die?Is there an after-life?Do we reincarnate?

In this article and podcast, Tanya Solberg looks at the spirit world, the place all of us go between each of our many incarnations. For more on this subject listen to the lecture by Dr George King, available as a CD anddownload.

There is more to life than meets the eye and we hope to give you some greater insight into the transition we call death and life in the spirit world.

In order to understand what happens when we die we need first to understand a bit about the auric body. We are not just the physical body; around the physical body is a psychic counterpart called the aura. This aura is a psychic reflection of the physical body. It not only reflects the state of physical health, the emotions and psychic development, but it is the part of ourselves that does not die and disintegrate with the physical body. It moves on after death to a different realm of existence around this Earth. Because the aura contains our memory and personality then this also goes with us when we die so we do not forget who we are or who we knew.

These realms are just like the physical realm we now inhabit in that they have trees, mountains, rivers and houses. But the spirit realms are more mental than the physical. For instance we may be able to manifest things through mental visualisation.

What happens when we die?

The physical body and the auric body are connected together by what is termed the “silver cord”. This is an etheric cord located at the back of the neck which connects these two bodies together. A person who has a near death experience is able to come back to life again because the cord has not been broken. Once it is then the physical body can no longer be inhabited. If you, the spirit, were to try to get back into the body you would flop right out again.

The different realms

There is more than one realm of existence beyond this physical. In fact there are ten distinctly separate spirit realms. If we include this physical realm this means that there are 11 different vibrations of existence of life around this planet.

Six of these realms operate on higher vibrational frequencies to where we now are and four realms operate on a lower vibrational frequency. This breaks the spirit realms into two distinct areas – the higher realms which are above the physical, and the lower realms which are below this physical realm. In biblical terminology this separation between the realms is referred to as heaven and hell.

Each realm is on a different energy level and if you were to travel from one to another you would become aware of subtle changes. The higher up the scale the more alive it becomes – absolutely scintillating with life and music and colour. Then if you were to move down to the lower realms they would become darker with not so much light.

Each of the six realms above this physical realm has a higher and higher vibration. Just as each of the four realms below this physical, becomes lower and lower in vibration. To differentiate between the realms Dr King numbered the physical realm as level 1, the higher realms as level 2 to level 7 and the lower realms as level -1 to level -4.

Unlike the physical realm which is a melting pot for all kinds of people, all on different levels of experience, undergoing different karmic lessons – the spirit realms distinctly group people together based on their level of spiritual evolution and current experience cycle. This makes for a very pleasant realm of existence if you happen to be living on a higher realm. But not necessarily a very pleasant place to be if you are on the lower realms – although in saying this many of the people living there excel in this environment.

We must remember that when people pass on from the physical realm they do not suddenly become angels or saints. We retain our basic memory and personality and continue in much the same way as we lived on this physical realm.

Which realm do we go to?

When we pass on we go to the realm that we deserve to go to based on how we have lived our lives. This is reflected in the vibration of our aura. If we have been a deeply spiritual person then the vibrations of our aura will be heightened. We will then pass to the spirit realm that is vibrating most closely to our own aura which will be, in this case, on the higher realms.

Likewise if we have been a negative immoral person, the vibrations of our aura will be much lower. When we move to the spirit realms we will naturally be attuned to a lower realm. The realm to which we go is not a punishment – there is no such thing as eternal hell and damnation – we merely pass to the realm which is most in tune to our aura and therefore most comfortable for us to exist upon. A person of lower vibration would not be able to exist for long upon one of the higher realms, in the same way that a person of a higher vibration would not be able to exist for long on one of the lower realms.

Your everyday average good person would go to level 2 whereas a saint might go to level 6. Conversely your everyday average selfish or unpleasant person may be on level -1 whereas the mass murders would be on level -4.

What do people do in the spirit world?

In Dr. King’s lecture on the spirit realms he gave us some insight into what people do while they are living there. One of these is that people have an opportunity to attend the many schools of learning on various subjects which exist on these realms. They have large temples for worship and halls of learning where people learn subjects such as prayer, healing, writing, art, music, the sciences and so on. You don’t have to attend these schools if you don’t want to but many people choose to learn new things, as well as become experts in subjects they have already excelled in while on the physical.

People can move between the different realms but they may not be able to remain long in that realm if there is too much disparity between their auric vibration and the vibration of the realm that they are on. So they may attend a school of learning on the next level up or come down from a higher level to provide teaching to those on the realms below them.

How long are we in the spirit world before reincarnating?

For some people the time on the spirit realms may be relatively brief – say five years – for others it may be for many hundreds of years – each case is different.

In each instance of life we have the opportunity to improve our karmic pattern and the vibrations of our aura through the choices we make in this life. This means that the next time we pass to the spirit realm we may find ourselves in a different realm, whether that be higher or lower, depending on our actions in our current life.

Ghosts

Ghosts are people who when they have died have not moved directly to the spirit realms but have lingered in spirit on the physical realm, sometimes due to a strong draw to something on the physical realms or a stubborn refusal to believe that they are dead.

If you see a family member in spirit this doesn’t necessarily mean that they are a ghost, they may just be having a short visit from the spirit realms. Ghosts can be caught for long periods of time on the physical realm and may need help to move onto the spirit realms. Once they do move on though, they rejoin the cycle of life on the spirit realms and then reincarnation back to the physical.

How can we ensure we pass on to a higher realm when we die?

Dr. King gave a few pieces of advice when he gave his lectures on this topic. The first thing he said was to look after not just our physical body but our auric body as well. Because it depends upon the purity of that auric body as to what environment we must come back to. We are evolving two sets of bodies – one is the physical body we inhabit for maybe 80 odd years, the other auric body we inhabit for thousands of years.

One of the best things we can do for our auric body are yogic breathing exercises or spiritual exercises of any kind. The aura of an 80 year old person who has been breathing correctly will be in far better shape than that of a much younger person who has been taking drugs for a few years. When the 80 year old person passes on, because their auric body is virile and pure, then they won’t be like an 80 year old person on the other realms but will appear much younger.

The second thing Dr King said, was that in his discussions with people who had passed over they usually said “If only I had my life over again I would do this and this and this” – and when they are saying this they don’t mean buying flash cars and houses, they mean that they would do things that would help their spiritual development. Although we have experience on other realms around this Earth, it is this physical realm where we can make the most strides in our spiritual evolution and as such it is the most important realm.

If we want to pass on to a higher realm then we should focus on our spiritual development. We should help others and give service wherever possible. This way when we pass over hopefully we will not have as many regrets as most of the people Dr George King met.

One great way to be of service to the world is through the practice of The Twelve Blessings – find out more.

TOP 10 MYSTERIOUS PLACES ON EARTH

Most of us have wondered about the mysterious places on earth. And the best part is the world never ceases to surprise you. Each and every corner of earth holds something mysterious or special for you which just silently wait to be discovered. And then falls in the scientist and excavators who always brings something new for us. Whether that place is difficult to reach or a visited tourist destination, our thirst for discovering some new and bizarre thing never dies.

Well, for most place scientist are still searching for answers and some are yet to be discovered.  As once Neil Armstrong rightly said, “Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.” The mystery world is itself gives us that feeling of discovering those thing and bring them to light for the unknown. People believed that some things are better left unsaid in the same way there are certain places around the world which the scientist can’t explained even after a long time of researching.

Today let’s learn about some of the most mysterious and unknown places on earth which are a bot alien to our world yet beautiful.

1. Racetrack Playa/ Sailing Stones, Death Valley


Have you ever heard of any rock sailing of its own without any human help? Well now you will for sure. I am sure most of you have no idea about this Sailing Stone in Death valley, California. This sailing stone has been a mystery since 1915 when people saw a track which indicated a stone has moved itself in the dry land.

This sailing stone has been recorded and studied further so that people can lean about their mysterious travel.  Some believed that the rocks move due to the formation of the ice around the stones which makes then move while others still find it a mystery. No one has ever seen those rocks moving. Some rocks takes linier moments while other creates oval turns. Well, kind of a mystery right?



2. Magnetic Hill, Ladakh, India


Most of you might be planning for an adventure to this wonderful land Ladakh. Whether you are off for a road trip or just a trip to beat the biting heat of summer, Ladakh is the name you have. Well, if you are heading out to this land then you might have definitely wondered about the Magnetic Hills here which tends to pull the vehicles.

This mysterious hill is a small stretch road which comes on your way of Srinagar- Leh highway.  This uphill road is as mysterious as it looks. While you are driving through the road if you turned off your car and let it stand neutral, your car will slowly start moving on its own and that too at a speed of 20km/hr. Believe it or Not, this hill actually exists.



3. Moeraki Boulders, New Zealand


Let me take you to another place which holds a different mystery for you. Most people considered it to be some giant stone eggs laid right on the beach while others are still trying to figure out the mystery. Koekohe Beach in New Zealand and is a rare sight to watch where once can find numerous mammoth boulders scattered around the place.

With its green and brown views, this place offers some picturesque views mixed with mystery. These spherical rocks grow up to 12-feet in circumference. People believe that these are a result of a plethora of minerals and sediments which have accumulated and solidified around the fossil. Sound’s some kind of mystery right?



4. Aokighara, Japan

If you are a movie buff and mystery hunter then you have definitely heard about the Aokighara Forest in Japan. Back in 2016 the movie The Forest shows about the spooky and eeriness of this forest which has been haunting people ever since. Also, known as the Suicide Forest, Aokighara is located at the foothills of Mount Fuji in Japan.

Many cases of haunting and apparitions are said to have been felt inside the forest. More than 500 people are believed to have committed suicide in this forest. Although this forest is considered as the most enchanting forest in the world the haunting makes this one of a kind. Dare to visit this ground….



5. Eternal Flame Falls, Orchard Park, New York

There is another creepy place in Orchard Park, New York which will give you goose bumps. In the far Shale Creek preserve a section of Chestnut Ridge Park one can see a flickering flame burning inside a tiny waterfall. You might ignore it first but once you stare at it you will find the flame burning bright.

Each day a lot of methane gas escapes from this place making it inflammable. See the magic unfold as you visit this park and witness the fighting flames of fire inside the waterfall. At times the flames get extinguished by the water but voila it lights up again.



6. Old Faithful, Yellowstone National Park

Mysteries are always hard to guess but they are always fascinating. Another such mysterious place is the Old Faithful Geyser at Yellowstone National Park. A number of 300 active geysers of hot springs are seen erupting here. But most of all the Old faithful is the one which has made Old Yellowstone very famous.

With its regularity of the eruptions, this eye-catching geyser is a soothing view to the eyes of the onlookers. This eruption occurs every 55 to 120 minutes and lasts for two to five minutes. A lot of tourist across the globe visits this National Park to enjoy the white smoky eruptions.



7. Pamukkale, Turkey
