Places that shouldn’t exist. Or did… temporarily
Catching up on some Pokémon Emerald, and I’ve been waiting for that damned island to appear. I’m not sure it ever will, however… It got me to thinking about places that have appeared, then disappeared. Not a mirage, illusion, or hallucination like in Pokémon, but I decided to take a look at some real life instances. Here’s what I found. Several eerie accounts of places that shouldn't exist, along with documented instances of people encountering such places:
The Vanishing Cave: A group of friends found a deep cave along the Niagara Escarpment that they had never seen before. The cave was unusually cold and clean, and inside they felt as if they were being touched by unseen hands. They left after losing track of three hours, but when they returned with flashlights, they could never find the cave again (RoughMaps).
The Ghost Music Store: A musician discovered a music store in his town that he had never seen before. Inside, he found and purchased a bass guitar. When he returned a week later, the store was empty and appeared to have been closed for a long time (RoughMaps).
The Disappearing ATM: One person guided his roommate to an ATM to withdraw money, but when they tried to find it again a few days later, the ATM was gone, replaced by a blank wall. Even the roommate was baffled by the disappearance (did you know?).
The Spooky Lighthouse: In a seaside town, an offshore decommissioned lighthouse sometimes illuminates at random late nights despite being locked and without utilities. By the time anyone investigates, the light has stopped, and the cause remains a mystery (did you know?).
The Phantom Town: A driver found himself in a dense fog and his car broke down in what seemed like the middle of nowhere. He decided to sleep in the car until morning. When he woke up, he found himself in the main street of a small town that hadn't been there the night before. The town disappeared from maps, and he never found it again (RoughMaps).
These stories contribute to the spooky atmosphere surrounding places that defy explanation, suggesting that there may be locations and phenomena that challenge our understanding of reality. Have you ever seen anything like this? Reach out, and let us know!
