Out of the many mysterious villages in India, this one village in Kerala has an extraordinary fact to its name. On average, 16 out of 1000 successful pregnancies result in twins.

Many people have also reported seeing UFOs and both the Indian and Chinese governments are aware of it. Google Maps has also shown the absence of mysterious military facilities in the region.

Another one of the results of a bizarre phenomenon is the Lonar Crater Lake in Maharashtra’s Buldhana district. The lake is said to be a result of an extraterrestrial impact crater that later filled with rainwater and became a lake. The mystery of the lake is the fact that the water here is pink. It is because of the biomass of Haloarchaea microbes, which turns the surface of the water red or pink.
