Mystery UK Spirits

Mystery Stonehenge The evidences indicate that stonehenge served as a burial ground from its earliest beginnings. The dating of cremated remains found that burials took place as early as 3000 B.C, when the first ditches were being built around the monument. Burials continued at Stonehenge for at least another 500 years when the giant stones which mark the landmark were put up. UNESCO World Heritage Site Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in the English county of Wiltshire. Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones.

Mystery Crop Circles Crop circles is a term used to describe patterns created by the flattening of crops such as wheat, barley, rapeseed (also called "canola"), rye, corn, linseed and soy. Various hypotheses have been offered to explain their formation, ranging from the naturalistic to the paranormal. Naturalistic explanations include man-made hoaxes or geological anomalies, while paranormal explanations include formation by UFOs.

Mystery Loch Ness Monster The Loch Ness Monster is an alleged animal, identified neither as to a family or species, purportedly inhabiting Scotland's Loch Ness. Evidence of its existence is largely anecdotal, with minimal, and much disputed, photographic material and sonar readings: there has not been any physical evidence (skeletal remains, capture of a live animal, definitive tissue samples or spoor) uncovered as of 2008. Local people, and later many around the world, have affectionately referred to the animal by the diminutive Nessie (Scottish Gaelic: "Niseag") since the 1950s.
