Overton Bridge in Dumbarton, Scotland, is the site of several strange occurrences.

Most people know it as the “Dog Suicide Bridge”, because more than 50 years ago, many dogs jumped from it and ended up at the bottom of the valley.

So far, Science has failed to explain the cause of this phenomenon, when some dogs arrive at this bridge and suddenly something causes them to jump off the bridge.

Who is the god with the most mysterious power?

 Its without a doubt the Vedic god Varuna. He is the god of Rta or cosmic order. This is not the Puranic Varuna you know as just a water god…this one is the dark feared Varuna whose wrath is feared by both humans and the divine. This Varuna is the ruthless Gaurdian of Rta.

His noose is basically hell for sinners. None can escape him. The way the Vedas describe him is like a very ancient secret that no one completely knows but it knows everything about everyone.

Rig Ved 1.25.7–8 - He is the knower of every movement happening universally

He, who knows the path of the birds flying through the air; he, abiding in the ocean, knows (also) the course of ships. He, who accepting the rites (dedicated to him) knows the twelve months and their productions and that which is supplementarily engendered.

Rig Ved 7.86.3 - Varuna is shown as the god of divine justice. A figure whose displeasure is feared among mortals.

Desirous of beholding you, Varuṇa, I inquire what is my offence; I have gone to make inquiry of thewise; the sages verily have said the same thing to me: -- this Varuṇa is displeased with you

Atharva Ved 4.16.2 - Varuna is always present in invisible form among men, no thought or conspiracy is hidden from him.

If two persons sit together and scheme, King Varuna is there as a third, and knows it.

Atharva Ved 4.16.4 - You cannot run from Varuna, he and his ganas will find you anywhere.

He that should flee beyond the heaven far away would not be free from king Varuna. His spies come hither (to the earth) from heaven, with a thousand eyes do they watch over the earth.

Atharva Ved 4.16.5 - His omniscience is so precise that it borders on the mathematical and supernatural. He doesn't just watch humanity. he quantifies existence itself.

Numbered by him are the very winkings of the eyes of men. As a gambler fixes his dice, so does he arrange all these things.

Atharva Ved 4.16.7–8 - Varuna punishes liars, even the divine gods can come under his justice.

7. With a hundred snares, O Varuna, surround him, let the liar not go free from thee, O thou that observest men! The rogue shall sit, his belly hanging loose, like a cask without hoops, bursting all about!
8. With (the snare of) Varuna which is fastened lengthwise, and that which (is fastened) broadwise, with the indigenous and the foreign, with the divine and the human,--

Rig Ved Rigveda 7.89.2 - 4 - Varuna is very unique in punishment. there are two methods.

1) he fills your whole body with so much fluid that you are internally drowned with it and you die in pain and agony.

2) he makes you feel so much thirst then makes an illusion of water all around you until you beg for water.

When, Varuṇa, I am throbbing as if (with awe) like an inflated skin, grant me happiness, possessor ofwealth, grant me happiness. Opulent and pure (Varuṇa), if through infirmity I have done what is contrary (to the law), yet grant mehappiness, possessor of wealth, grant me happiness. Thirst distresses (me) your worshipper in the midst of the waters; grant me happiness, possessor ofwealth, grant me happiness.

Rigveda 8.41.8 - He is always hidden yet when the time comes he destroys the dark one’s (tama) with light.

He, the ocean-dwelling, hidden (Apicya), swift god... he o'erspreads the dark ones with a robe of light.

Rig Ved 1.24.15 - His noose captures souls who deviate from Rta. A prayer is given to him to specifically loosen his noose.

O Varuna, loosen from us the uppermost noose, untie the middle one, and take away the lowest, so that we may live.

Aghamarsana Sukta(Mahanarayanopanishad) - describes Varuna as the fire within the water. This sukta is being sung by a sinner who prays and asks Varuna and his consort Varuni to forgive him for his sins.

I take refuge in Varuna, who is of golden lustre or who has a golden diadem. O Varuna, being entreated by me, grant me the saving grace. For I have enjoyed what belongs to bad people and accepted gift from sinners. May Indra, Varuna, Brihaspati and Savita completely destroy that sins committed by me and my people in thought, word and act. Salutations to fire hidden in water. Salutation to Indra. Salutation to Varuna. Salutation to Varuni, the consort of Varuna. Salutation to the deities of waters. (Through the power of this mantra). let all that is injurious, impure and troublesome in water be destroyed.

What is more mysterious, the universe or the Earth's oceans?

 From the endless universe to deepest point of ocean….we know more about space than ocean.

The fact is that we've sent 12 people to the moon since 1969 over a handful of missions; only three people have descended to the deepest part of the ocean in the Mariana Trench.

Mariana Trench

It's often said that 95% of ocean is unexplored and there are large number of unknown species yet to be discovered.

But on the other hand, our outer space exploration is quite amazing!!

Hubble Space Telescope

Hubble Space Telescope allows up to see us up to 13 billion light years away but we don't know much about the deepest point which is just seven-and-a-half miles down and seems more mysterious!!

Studying the ocean is really hard because the pressure exerted by the water above is enormous. It's the equivalent of one person trying to support 50 jumbo jets. It's also dark and cold.

Unlike space where you can see forever but once you're down in the ocean you can't see anything because it's deep enough that light can't shine. It's a challenging place to study!!

Satellites are great for giving us that broad picture of the surface of the ocean. We can measure temperature, the ocean colour, the winds, the waves, sea level and what not?.. So, In my opinion, oceans are more mysterious than Space!!

What are the most mysterious photos in history?

 Here are some photos that I found mysterious, likely to shock you.

• This photo was taken in 1941 during the reopening of the South Forks Bridge in Canada. At first glance, it looks like any other picture from that period. But if you examine the details, something is amiss. There appears to be a man in modern clothing among the hats and suit jackets of the 1940s. He also seems to be holding a modern camera, wearing unusual glasses, and sporting a logo that doesn't quite fit the era.

• In 1964, French photographer Robert Serrec spotted and quickly took a picture of what appeared to be a giant, snake-like creature resting on the seabed off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Although some suggested it was a giant tarp, no credible explanation has ever been found for this bizarre photograph.

• Since the 1940s, a strange luminous phenomenon has been observed in the Hessdalen Valley, Norway. The spectacle involves a white or yellow light of unknown origin, either hovering or floating at ground level. Between 1981 and 1984, the lights were observed up to 20 times a week, but their frequency has decreased considerably since then, appearing only about 10 to 20 times a year. Despite ongoing research and numerous hypotheses, there is still no convincing explanation.

• In 2000, two photographs of a "skonke monkey" were taken by an anonymous woman and mailed to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office in Florida. The photos were accompanied by a letter from the woman in which she stated that she had photographed a monkey in her backyard. People claim it's a black bear, but it doesn't look the same.

• Like most families, the Coopers had moved into their new home in Texas and wanted to take a family photo of themselves sitting together. However, when the photo was taken, a body appeared to fall from the ceiling. Since no plausible explanation was ever offered, there is much speculation about what happened.

• This is one of the most famous unexplained images of all time. While the image is centered on Mary, something eerie hovers over her left shoulder. There's an object that appears to be some kind of UFO hovering above the cliffs. Just below, a man and his dog can be seen watching the saucer.

• On March 13, 1997, a series of bright, unidentified lights appeared over Phoenix, Arizona. They remained completely stationary for hours. The Air Force said the lights were flares released for a training exercise. However, the lights reappeared over Phoenix in 2007 and 2008. They remain unexplained.

• There is said to be an ancient, dark object orbiting Earth for 13,000 years called the "Black Knight Satellite." No one knows how it got there, its purpose, or even who started calling it the "Black Knight." The photo above was taken during a U.S. space shuttle mission to the International Space Station in 1998.

Which old photographs are incredible and mysterious?

• A 15-year-old girl begins her first day at school. She is greeted by her fellow students and many of their parents, who mock her, call her names, throw trash and stones at her. The girls, encouraged by their parents, spit on her. Dorothy Counts was one of the first Black students admitted to Harry Harding High School in Charlotte, North Carolina.

• She was the seamstress of Washington DC, her sophisticated, clean dresses designed for an excellent fit, the envy of many. And to her clients, she was often more than a seamstress; she was a dear friend.

• A one-legged mother and her mutilated daughter walk through a Beirut landscape during the Lebanese Civil War, 1985. Photo by Maher.

• Vikki “The Back” Dougan photographed by Ralph Crane, 1958.

• Pompeii, an Italian city, is a preserved ancient Roman city in Campania, Italy, 14 miles (23 km) southeast of Naples, at the southeastern base of Mount Vesuvius. Around noon on August 24, 79 CE, a massive eruption of Mount Vesuvius spewed volcanic debris over the city of Pompeii, followed the next day by clouds of extremely hot gases.

• A painted wooden shabti inside a clay coffin, recently discovered by a Spanish archaeological mission beneath theDjehuty ProjectDating from the 17th or 18th Dynasty. The mission has been working in Dra Abu el-Naga, in the far north of the Theban necropolis, in the West Bank of Luxor, since January 2002.

• A young woman who survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima emerges from underground in August 1945.

• First World War recruitment in Trafalgar Square, London, 1914

What is the most mysterious monument in the world?

 Four mysterious monuments

01 - Japan - Masuda Iwafune

The Masuda Iwafune, an ancient rock boat built during Japan's Asuka period, is one of those remarkable ancient monuments that has raised more questions than answers over the past few years. Located on a hillside near Asuka Village, the Masuda Iwafune's origin, purpose, and significance remain a mystery. This enigmatic monument is the largest rock formation found in the region, measuring 11 meters (36 feet) x 8 meters (26 feet) and 4.5 meters (15 feet) high, and is made from solid granite. This means the ancient rock boat weighs approximately 100 tons. The monument has two holes in the center, each about 1 square meter, that lead to the ground. In fact, it is said that to date, no one has fully understood how the ancients built this monument or what its original purpose was. Experts have noted that a linear projection at the top of the structure runs parallel to the top of the hill, and that the sun aligns strangely well with the day known as the vernal equinox. The vernal equinox was a very important day in Japan's ancient agricultural calendar, marking the beginning of the farming season.

02 - Guatemala - Giant Stone Head

Many researchers agree that the jungles of Guatemala and the surrounding countries hold great secrets of a powerful civilization that once ruled the region in ancient times. From ancient temples to mystical civilizations, anything can be found in these mysterious jungles. One of the most enigmatic discoveries is the colossal stone head of Guatemala. The initial report came in 1987 when Dr. Rafel Padilla received a photograph of the mysterious monument found in the Guatemalan jungle. The photograph had been taken in 1950 by the landowner of the site where it was discovered. Even more enigmatic, the colossal stone head is said to have thin lips, a long nose, a face turned towards the sky, and a massive body hidden underground. Researchers point out that the facial features of this colossal stone statue have Caucasian characteristics that do not match any known pre-Columbian tribe in the Americas.

Unfortunately, before researchers could examine this magnificent sculpture, it was destroyed by rebels and militias and used as a shooting practice.

03 Egypt - The Sunken City of Heraklion

Many people believed Heracleion was merely a myth, like Atlantis. Heracleion is the Greek name for this ancient city, though it was called Thonis by the ancient Egyptians. The city was known to many ancient Greek philosophers, and Herodotus also mentions it in several of his works, but its existence was not confirmed until the 19th century. Among the discovered items were colossal statues of ancient Egyptian goddesses Isis and Harpies, and enigmatic pharaohs, all found in remarkably good condition. Hundreds of smaller statues were also discovered, some belonging to Cleopatra. Numerous religious artifacts were found, belonging to gods such as Isis, Osiris, and Horus, the supreme gods of ancient Egypt. Underwater archaeologists also discovered numerous sarcophagi containing mummified animal remains dedicated to Amun Gereb, the supreme god of the Egyptians.

04 Cambodia - Angkor Wat

Mount Phuong Kulen, located just 40 kilometers north of the metropolis that would later reach its peak, is the birthplace of the great Cambodian Empire, which dominated much of Southeast Asia, and the site that gave rise to Angkor, perhaps one of the most magnificent religious centers in human history. Angkor is the site of Nagara in Sanskrit, meaning "holy city," and the location of the famous Angkor Wat temple. However, it was Phuong Kulen that first appeared. Phuong Kulen was a sacred temple reflecting Hindu influences, adorned with statues of local deities and the Hindu god Vishnu. It also had a cleverly designed water supply system to support Cambodia's first capital. The Cambodian Empire dominated much of Southeast Asia from the 9th to the 15th centuries, finding its finest expression in Angkor. However, elements of Phuong Kulen were later reflected and expanded upon in Angkor. Angkor is evidence of a highly engineered system to propel and sustain a lost civilization. In the 12th century, the adoption of Buddhism inscribed their mark on the temples of Angkor.

What is one of the most mysterious objects discovered in our universe?

 Hoag's Object is perhaps one of the most mysterious and at the same time most beautiful "objects" in our universe.

The latter is nothing more than a galaxy of unconventional appearance, known as a ring galaxy.

This galaxy, about 600 million light-years away, consists of a nearly perfect ring of hot, blue stars surrounding a yellow nucleus.

The diameter of the inner part of the galaxy is about 17,000 light-years, while the outer ring has an internal diameter of about 75,000 light-years.

The galaxy's total diameter is about 121,000 light-years, which is slightly larger than our own Milky Way!

The space separating the two stellar populations (center and ring) could contain some open clusters, but they are too faint to be observed.

Despite the incredible rarity of this type of galaxy, between the outer ring and the nucleus another galaxy with the same ring characteristics is visible, much more distant, and incredibly overlapping with each other for a rare perspective effect!

It is not known exactly how it formed, although some hypotheses indicate that it was crossed by another, much larger galaxy.

However, there is no sign of it.

It is worth noting that this type of ring galaxies represent less than 0.1% of all known galaxies!
