2. Blood Rain In INDIA

 

More than 500,000 cubic meters of red rain water pouring into the earth. At first, scientists thought that rain was caused by desert sand, but the scientists discovered something shocking, the red elements in the water are living cells, cells that are not derived from the earth.

The first rains fell in the districts of Kottayam and Idukki in the southern region of India. Not only red rain, the first 10 days of rain reported yellow, green, and even black. After 10 days, the intensity of the rainfall eased thought Septermber.

The rain fell only on a limited area and usually only lasts about 20 minutes by rain. The local recidents found the clothes are dried in the sun turns red like blood. Local residents also reported and explosion sound and light rain that preceded the explosion believed to be a meteor.

The rain water samples were immediately for examination by the Indian government and scientists . One of the independent scientists who analyzed it was Godfrey Louis and Santosh Kumara of Mahatma Gandhi University.

The collected more than 120 reports of local and collect samples of red rain water from areas along the 100 km. First the thought the the red particles in the water are borne sand particles from the Arabian desert.

This Ever happened in July 1968 where the sands of the Sahara desert wind up causing red rain in England. However, they thought that the red elements in the water is not a grain of sand, but cells are alive.

The cell composition consists of 50% carbon, 45% ixygen and 5% other elements such as iron and sodium, consistent with other components of biological cells, and the cells were also dividing. The cell has a diameter of between 3-10 micrometers thick cell wall and has variety of nanostructures within the membrane.

But there is no identiufiable nucleus. Each cubic meter of samples taken, there are 100 grams of red elements. So if you add up, then from July to Septermber there were 50 tons of red particles are poured into the earth.

At the University of of Sheffield, UK, and expert named Milton Wanwright microbiologically confimed that the red elements are living cells. It is ecpressed as Wainwright managed to find the presence of the DNA of the cell elements even thought he has not managed to extract them.

Because of the red particles are living cells, the scientists put forward the theory that it was blood red particles. Acoording to them, the possibility of a meteorite that exploded in the air had slauhtered a bunch of bats in the air. However, this theory was rejected because there was no evidence to support such bat wings that fell earth.

With the connection between the explosions and the light rain that preceded the Louis forward the theory that the cells are terrestrial beings. Louis cocluded that the red material came from a comet entering the Earth's atmosphere and exploded over the skies of India.

A study conducted by doctoral student at Queen's University, Ireland named Patrick McCafferty find historical records linking colored with meteor explosion. McCafferty analyzed 80 reports of colored rains, 20 reports of water turned into blood, and 68 examples of similar phenomena li black rain, milk or honey rain down from the sky.

36% of the samples turned out to be connected with the activity of a meteor of comet. Such incidents occur ranging from ancient Roman, medieval and the UK and even the 19th century California. McCafferty said, " there sames to be a strong relationship between rain reports colored woth meteor activity, the red rain of Karala match these patternd and can not be ignored."

So, if the red rain in Kerala extraterrestrial origin ? Some scientists are skeptical necessarily reject thi theory. But some other scientists have not found the answer immediately glance back to an obsolete theory proposed by physicist Dr.Sir Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe, a theory called Peanspermia, which is a theory that life on Earth came from outer space.

According to the two scientists initially in space are interstellar gas containing bacteria. As the cloud shrinks due to gravity to from the star system, the bacteria that is in them still survive in the comet.

When the comet was explosed to sunlight, solar heat melt the ice on the come's surface, these bacteria escaped and were swept into the nearest planets. This theory is also based on Charles Darwin's argument that the bacteria actually have caracteristic 'extraterrestrial'.

 

3. Blood Waterfall In Antartica

Scientists think the red color came from algae, but it turns out it is a natural occurrence that makes it even more spectacular. For almost two thousand years, Taylor sealed beneath a small amount of water containing ancient microbial communities. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have been there ever since, isolated inside a natural time sapsule. Existing cracks in the glacier lake causing subgletser flow out, forming streams without contaminating the ecosystem around it.

Evoloved independently in the isolated world, these microbes live in world without light or oxygen and heat is minimal. The event is called the primordial slow flow. The trapped lake has high levels of salinity and rich in iron, which gives the rd color to the waterfall. The existence of blood flow ecosystem shows that life is very possible even in the most extreme conditions of the earth thought.

" The Exorcist " was bad enough , right ? Especially when the film was named as the most horrific films of all time by several magazines . But , how would you react if I say that the movie was actually based on a true story ?

" The Exorcist " was adapted from the real exorcism performed on boy aged 14 years in 1949 . The child , whose pen name is known as Roland Doe , trying to communicate with her ​​aunt a few days after his death , by using a Ouija board and no doubt , some magical things start to happen . Furniture began to move on its own , scratching and knocking sound often heard at night and Roland bed shook violently and even float .

Roland neighbors began to realize that strange things happened in that house , and when the boy's behavior changed drastically - she stay away from sacred objects and speak with the voice of Satan - some pastors are called to perform an exorcism .

They are reportedly doing more than 30 exorcism against Roland . A pastor said that he saw the word " devil " and " hell " that mysteriously appeared on the boy's body .

5. The Exorcism of Emily Rose ( 2005)

 

To be honest , the movie " The Exorcism of Emily Rose " is a movie that is pretty creepy , and felt ten times more creepy when you know that the film was made based on the story of a German girl named Anneliese 16-year -old Michel .
In 1968 , what was once a carefree teenager began to show symptoms of trance . Over the years , Anneliese claimed gets hearing voices saying that he was " cursed " and will be " tormented in hell .
