Our planet may not be very big on a planetary scale, but it is home to many weird and wonderful things. Majestic sights, spectacular landscapes, icy tundra, and mountain ranges can all take one’s breath away or offer inspiration. Some natural wonders on this planet also possess reputations of an eerie nature. One place that springs to mind is the Bermuda Triangle. But there is another less well-known location with legends that rival those of the famous Devil’s Triangle: the Zone of Silence, also known as the Mapimi Silent Zone.
