Jawbone Of Fabled Sea 'Devil' Discovered In Russian Lake
[ranking: 8]
Researchers using scanning equipment in Lake Labynkyr announced on February 1, 2013, that they had discovered what they claimed were the skeletal remains of an ancient sea serpent, described locally as a "devil," not unlike the Loch Ness monster.
Though evidence was scant, the researchers said they found a jawbone and other bone fragments at the bottom of the lake. This is a "pics or it didn't happen" situation, however, so no jawbone, no sea devil.
Still, Lake Labynkyr is interesting, as it often reaches temperatures of -80 degrees but does not freeze.
The Baltic Sea Anomaly Is Probably the Millenium Falcon
[ranking: 2]
There's much speculation about the history of an object discovered deep at the bottom of the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland in 2012. It is roughly 200 feet in length and circular, but this is about the extent of researchers' knowledge. Whether it was man-made or a naturally-occurring phenomenon, no one can definitively say.
Some, of course, speculate the object is an alien spacecraft. This does seem to be the most probable answer, since it is clearly the Millennium Falcon.
An Especially Deadly Oklahoma Lake
[ranking: 3]
In September 2013, two cars were discovered at the bottom of Foss Lake, near Elk City, OK, bringing to an end two decades-old disappearances. The first car, a 1969 Camaro, contained the remains of three individuals, believed to be a trio of teenagers who went missing on November 20, 1970.
The second vehicle, a 1950s-era Chevy, contained three more skeletons, one of which is believed to be Alvi Porter, who went missing the late 1950s or 1960s. Police do not suspect foul play in either case, but the proximity of the disappearances, and the fact the vehicles were found nearly side-by-side, makes for an eyebrow-raising coincidence.
A Fake Skeleton Tea Party
[ranking: 11]
In 2015, someone snorkeling in Cienega Springs, AZ, thought he'd come across a pair of real-life skeletons sitting at the bottom of the Colorado River. He notified authorities, who sent their own diver only to discover the skeletons were plastic, wearing sunglasses, and sitting in lawn chairs.
??I don??t think they were trying to set up anything to scare anyone. I think they were gonna try to be funny,?? said Lt. Curtis Bagby of the La Paz County Sherriff's Office.
An Undetonated Bomb
[ranking: 9]
In June 1988, a live 100-pound World War II-era bomb was discovered at the bottom of Lake Washington in Seattle. We don't yet know how it got there, but the going theory is that a warplane flying in or out of an airfield that once stood in the area may have dumped the bomb in the lake.
Why a pilot would do such a thing remains a mystery.
A Massive Crucifix
[ranking: 13]
There's an 11-foot statue of Jesus on the cross submerged at the bottom of Lake Michigan. The Italian marble sculpture was first commissioned in 1956 by the family of a boy who died in a farming accident.
The crucifix was damaged on its way from Italy to the US, and the family refused to accept it. Later, the statue was purchased by a diving team and lowered into the lake as a memorial for deceased divers.
