Scientists figured out that although Death Valley is blisteringly hot in the summer - its highest recorded temperature stands at 56.7☌ - during the mild winter, rain collects to form a shallow lake, which subsequently freezes into thin sheets when the temperatures drop at night. So what was the best way to figure out how these creepy rocks were moving? Fit them with GPS units, use time-lapse cameras and study the weather, obviously. Supernatural theories for the phenomenon include the rocks being remains of a UFO crash, mysterious ‘unseen hands’ that move the rocks, or magnetic fields of some kind. It clearly means the stones are moving, but nobody pushes them, and no one has seen them move. Sailing stones in Death ValleyĪt California’s Death Valley there are hundreds of trails from large, rough blocks of rock in the aptly-named Racetrack Playa. This proved at least the possibility that the celebrated stone circle was pretty much a doddle for even an ancient group of builders if they were tech-savvy enough. We may never know what the structure was used for, but to disprove the notion that its construction was somehow magical, Michigan carpenter Wally Wallington built a Stonehenge replica in his garden, on his own, using only what was available to humans back then. Slave labour and even alien activity populated the theories about how the mysterious rocky collection came to be. Carbon dating makes it between 4,000 to 5,000 years old, so it puzzled many when you look at how advanced the architecture is, given what kind of tech was available back in the day. Stonehenge is a circle of old stones in Wiltshire, England. StonehengeĪh, some stacked, Neolithic stones. Also, it would be strange for there not to be vanishings due to the colossal size of the triangle. To explain the mysterious absence of wreckages, the strong current of the Gulf Stream is powerful enough to wash away any evidence of destroyed ships and planes.Ĭoast Guard records also proved that many disappearances were down to human error, boat failure and other natural sea-based problems. Additionally, the Bermuda Triangle doesn’t actually have an unusual number of shipwrecks or plane crashes when compared to any other areas that experience similar traffic. In 1975, Larry Kusche, a research librarian at Arizona State University, found some disappearance claims were either exaggerated or wholly false. The infamous region of the Atlantic Ocean, which earned its reputation due to claims of planes and ships disappearing between Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Miami, Florida without a trace, turned out to be not as scary as it seemed. The public were bamboozled by cheap camera trickery. It is also said the ‘Brown Lady’ closely resembles a standard Virgin Mary statue that is found in a Catholic church. By covering fellow magician Ron Wilson with a bed sheet – like a last minute Halloween costume – and instructing him to walk down a staircase, the faked image looked very similar to the Lady. The magician John Booth said the ‘Brown Lady’ could be duplicated by natural methods.

There is also a theory of double exposure upon detailed examination, as well as one picture being superimposed over the other due to a patch of reflected light at the top of the right hand banister appearing twice.
The later negative showed the ‘Brown Lady’, which was published in Country Life in 1936, along with Shira and Provand’s written account of events.Ĭritics claimed Shira put a greasy substance on the lens to create the figure, or moved down the stairs during an exposure. They were taking photographs of Raynham Hall for an article, and had just taken a shot of the Hall’s main staircase.Īllegedly, Shira saw “a vapoury form gradually assuming the appearance of a woman” coming down the stairs, and the duo snapped a picture under his instruction. The image was taken by Captain Hubert C Provand, a London-based photographer working for Country Life magazine, and his assistant, Indre Shira.
She is supposedly the ghost of Lady Dorothy Walpole (1686-1726), sister of Robert Walpole, who is regarded as Britain’s first Prime Minister. It has been said the Brown Lady haunts Raynham Hall in Norfolk, England. This picture captures one of the most famous ghosts in Great Britain, the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall.
