5 Creepiest and Haunted Places Underwater You Must Never Visit 07 Aug,2015 Travel & Adventure The seas hold a lot within them. The waters all around the world have claimed innumerable lives of many, sometimes in a moment, some other times, after killing their hopes slowly. Here are 5 such places where the drowned still exist in some form - perhaps supernatural.
These are the creepiest places underwater. Haunted by the drowned many, these beautiful places have a lot more than what just meets the eye.
5. The Blue Hole
The Blue Hole as it is rightly called, this submarine sinkhole is situated off the coast of Egypt in the Red Sea. More than 450 feet deep, the opening of the hole is 6 meters deep. There is a shallow tunnel too which is 26 meters long. These waters are obviously scary due to many aquatic dangers, but it doesn't stop there.
Many believe that the deep water is haunted by the ghost of a girl who committed suicide by jumping in the hole to escape a forceful arranged marriage.
Forty divers have lost their lives at the Blue Hole and the reasons of their deaths are so weird that supernatural activity seems almost obvious.
One of the reasons why people feel lost and haunted in the tunnel of the hole is nitrogen narcosis.
At that depth, the phenomenon of nitrogen narcosis is obvious. It plays with the brains of a person and makes them disinterested while trying to find the way out. In the despair, the hope is lost and the divers meet their fate.
4. Chuuk Lagoon
Roughly, 1800 kilometers away from the tip of New Guinea, the Chuuk Lagoon is a protective reef that is so massive, it is almost a natural harbor. The lagoon looks like a tropical wonder - a place one would be fascinated to go to. But, the place holds more than it shows.
Underneath the Chuuk Lagoon's waters lies the biggest graveyard of ships in the world.
A Japanese base in the South Pacific during the Second World War, it was destroyed thoroughly by the American forces which led to 60 warships and 275 air-crafts of Japan touching the ocean's floor. The remains of the people on the ships haunt the waters of the lagoon now.
The Lagoon is a diver's paradise now, holding a living history within itself.
However, the skulls and skeletons spread all over the place make it very, very creepy and a scary feeling of skeletons looking at you is experienced once inside.
3. RMS Rhone Wreckage
During the San Narciso hurricane of 1867, the RMS Rhone wrecked off the coast of Salt Island. Out of the 146 people on board, it drowned 123 of them with itself.
Another ship named Conway which was also stuck in the hurricane decided to transfer it's passengers to the 'unsinkable' Rhone.
The agenda was that the Conway would go for the harbor while Rhone could sail in the open sea against all odds to reach it's destination.
According to the general practice of the times, the passengers of the Rhone were tied to their beds to keep them them from getting hurt.
The wreck is believed to be haunted because many divers claim that they feel someone tugging at their shoulders and when they turn, there is no one. Professional divers have also claimed that they hear strange noises as if people are screaming or groaning. The haunted ship wreck had even attracted National Geographic Channel's series Is It Real?
2. Bushman's Hole
Located in the Northern Cape province of South Africa, Boesmansgat, which is also known as Bushman's Hole is a sinkhole which has been dived by humans only up to 927 feet till date.
In 1994, diver Deon Dreyer died in the waters at a depth of 50 meters. His body was found 10 years later by famous cave diver David Shaw.
Shaw, while attempting to recover the corpse of Dreyer, died in the waters in 2005. The footage from the camera attached to Shaw while diving showed that while trying to recover the body of Dreyer, the head was detached.
Shaw panicked and got entangled in Dreyer's safety line
He stayed with the headless corpse until his own death and both the bodies were found later while a search for some lost equipment was on.
1. Sunshine Skyway
In May 1980, a freighter passing by the Tampa Bay collided with the Sunshine Skyway bridge in the midst of a thunderstorm.
The collision was so quick and the bridge was struck so heavily, it chunked off 1200 feet of the bridge in one go.
It resulted in six cars, one truck and a greyhound bus falling in the water, and killed 35 people.
Prior to this incident, another ship named USCGC had sank near the bridge drowning 23 sailors on board.
Since then, divers have reported seeing strange lights in the waters of the Tampa Bay near the bridge and these lights are said to have lured and attracted more than 200 people in suicidal death traps in the water.
These are the creepiest places underwater. Haunted by the drowned many, these beautiful places have a lot more than what just meets the eye.
