Nature’s power: A “sneaker wave”

The mystery of the Crooked Forest
The Crooked Forest is as strange as it is beautiful. Growing in Poland, just outside of Nowe Czarnowo, there’s some 400 weirdly bent trees. These photographs from Kilian Schönberger reveal the alien trees. No one is quite sure how – or why – these trees are bent like this. People may have persuaded them to […]

Watch the video and yuo’ll see why. In Pure Spirit What do you think? Imagine been trapped in a cabin and discovering an egg […]
What would make the ground breathe like this?
This video isn’t the best quality but clearly shows the earth rising up and down almost as if the forest itself was breathing. There are some theories ranging from water running beneath the soil, to heavy winds causing the roots to tug at loose earth all the way to escaping gas. Strange underground creature? Some […]
Strange ants demonstrate the invisible power of our smartphones
The video starts off with an iPhone sitting right in the middle of a stream of ants. There’s about 300 making their way around the device. You’ll see what happens when the phone starts to ring. The ants form into a circle and make their way anti-clockwise around the device. Ants navigate with sigh but […]
It rained ice cubes in Gatlinburg
In Pure Spirit Have you ever seen hail like that? These ice cubes are large enough to hold between your fingers. It seems all too likely that windows will break. Is the weather getting stranger and do you think the changes are man made or not?
