10. Underground Pyramid
Underneath Orvieto, Italy there is a mysterious ancient underground pyramid made by the Etruscans. Archaeologists found the pyramid after excavating a wine cellar that had steps leading downward into tunnels and caves. Then they entered a chamber where the walls were carved to slope upwards, leaving a hollow pyramid structure but they have no idea what it was for.
9. Dragon’s Eye
The Hall of Giants stone mine in Lancashire, U.K. is home to a metamorphic rock formation called the Dragon’s Eye. It looks like a dragon that just woke up and it might blink at any moment! The smooth, multicolored structure formed after a mine tunnel roof collapsed, exposing the different colored sediment.
8. BAVARIAN GOBLIN HOLES
There are over 700 strange underground chambers and tunnels dating back to the Middle Ages throughout the German state of Bavaria, linking churches, farmhouses, cemeteries, and seemingly random parts of the forest. Some local legends claim that elves built and lived in the structures, nicknamed “goblin holes,” while other stories allude to the tunnels being part of an extended system of emergency exits from castles.
7. Underground Orchid
Australia is famous for its unique wildlife but it is also home to many bizarre plants, including 1,550 orchid species, nearly all of which grow nowhere else on Earth. Perhaps the strangest among these flowers is the Rhizanthella, more commonly known as the underground orchid. It’s small, pale, smells like vanilla, and, as its name indicates, spends its entire life underground.
6. SECRET ROOMS
While renovating the historic three-story Commercial Exchange Building in Jackson, Michigan last year, workers noticed that a piece of heavy machinery was sinking into the ground, leading to their discovery of two large, unused underground rooms.
5. Hidden Hatch
Last year, Julie Juckes and Roger Rockhill purchased a 55-acre (22.3 hectares) property in Pennsylvania with plans to establish a home and winery. They made a series of surprising discoveries on the land, which was once a summer camp for the local Jewish Community Center (JCC), but one stood out above the rest.
4. THE WILLIAMSON TUNNELS
Between 1810 and 1840, an eccentric tobacco merchant and philanthropist named Joseph Williamson built a series of houses and a labyrinth of underground tunnels and chambers near his home in the Edge Hill area of Liverpool, England.
3. Fosse Dionne
In the commune of Tonnerre in northwestern France, there’s a spring called the Fosse Dionne, which is fed by at least one underground river, as well as rainwater from nearby mountains, which travels to the spring via the limestone plateau surrounding the area.
2. Underground city
In the 1980’s construction workers discovered an ancient city beneath the streets and buildings of northeastern Turkey’s Aydıntepe district. Located within the Bayburt Province, one of the country’s least-populated regions, the Aydintepe Underground City was carved over six-and-a-half feet (2 meters) below ground without any building materials, the Daily Sabah reported.
1. The Jersey “house Of Horror”
International headlines rarely report much from the Channel Islands, a sleepy archipelago located in the English Channel off the French coast of Normandy. But in 2008, media outlets around the world reported the discovery of human bone fragments, secret underground rooms, and narratives of abuse at Haut de la Garenne, a former orphanage located on the island of Jersey.
