Check out these unsolved mysteries that have finally been solved! This top 10 list of creepy and mysterious mysteries have finally been explained after being unsolved for years!

10. Blood Falls Because of its remote location and inhospitable environment, there’s a lot still to be discovered in Antarctica. One feature that’s been a mystery ever since they were found are the blood falls in the Mcmurdo Dry Valley. Pouring from the Taylor Glacier, the water is a deep red colour, and has an average temperature of only 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit- well below the freezing point of 32!

9 Clicking in Stockholm Harbour In 1981, a Russian submarine, armed with a nuclear warhead, entered Swedish waters near a naval base. At the time it was blamed on an accidental navigation error, but since then, the Swedes have kept a careful listen out for any more intrusions into their territory. 13 years later, in 1994, acoustic devices picked up the tell tale sign of a vessel, with a series of metallic clicking noises being heard near Stockholm harbour.

8. The City of Troy The ancient city of Troy was the focus of Homer’s “Illiad”, where it lay under siege for more than 10 years before finally succumbing to a Greek army being led by King Agamemnon. Troy is famous for the beautiful Helen of Troy, Achilles, and the horse. Many stories have been told of the place, but the site of the true ancient city of Troy is located to the northwest of Turkey.

7. Mass Whale Graveyard In 2011, during a road widening project in the Atacama Desert of Chile, builders stumbled across a mass graveyard, but it wasn’t what you might expect. It was full of the bones of whales, strange walrus-faced dolphins and sloths all lying side by side. The fossils were found to be about 6 to 9 million years old, and it became a mystery as to why so many animals would die in one place together, and how it would happen in a place that was 130 feet above sea level.

6. The Bloop In 1997 a loud, ultra-low frequency sound, which became known as the “Bloop” was heard on hydrophones across the Pacific. It was so loud, in fact, that it was picked up by listening devices over 3,000 miles apart. The problem was, no-one had any idea what could make such a noise, and for the next decade there was much debate about its cause.

5. The Easter Island Statues Easter Island is one of the remotest inhabited islands in the world, more than 1,600 miles away from the nearest town. Ever since the first explorers visited the place, it has stood out for one main reason- the 887 Moai, giant statues of heads that are placed around the coast.

4. The Mary Celeste For more than 100 years the story of the Mary Celeste has baffled people. After the ship failed to arrive at port, search parties went to find it, and discovered it completely empty, with no sign of a struggle. But why would a crew abandon a seemingly fine ship, what could possibly convince them to do this?

3. The Wandering Rocks of Valley Racetrack Playa, a desert lake bed that lies in the mountains above Valley, has been the site of an extraordinary phenomenon- rocks that seemingly move by themselves. For decades, no-one has been able to explain how the rocks traverse the surface, leaving a trail in their wake. Some suggested it was caused by wind or rain, or perhaps even people moving them. It was only in December of 2013, though, that the truth came to light.

2. Amelia Earhart Amelia Earhart was a aviation pioneer, and became the first woman to make a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. She would go on to attempt a number of different challenges, but on July 2nd, 1937, she went missing, without a trace, in the Pacific while flying from Papua New Guinea to Howland Island as part of an attempt to fly around the world.

1. The Bermuda Triangle The Bermuda Triangle is undoubtedly one of the biggest mysteries ever, but in recent years the superstition surrounding the region has been debunked. It’s the part of the Atlantic Ocean between Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico- and supposedly has been the site of many plane and ship disappearances.
