The Aurora Borealis (AKA The Northern Lights) are truly a sight to behold. Equal parts grand and mysterious, the lore behind what causes them has been born of whimsical folkloric tales passed down through generations all over the world. Even after we were able to reverse engineer them in labs using #science to figure out exactly how they're created, the complex concoction of events that need to occur for them to appear is nothing short of magic. #Auroraborealis, sometimes better known as the #northernlights , continue to fascinate all who are lucky enough to witness them in person.

Nessie the #lochnessmonster has taken Scotland, nay, the WORLD by storm. Since her big debut in the 1930s, the girl has been attracting droves of spectators to the Loch Ness, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. She might be shy, but don't be fooled. Sources say she's mighty (it's me, I'm sources). Many buy radar gear just to prove her existence. She is a queen, an icon, and a #legend that may very well top the #phenomena charts.

Have you heard of the #dyatlovpassincident? The mysterious #death of 9 hikers in the Ural Mountains of Russia in 1959 has had investigators stumped for decades. Some explanations fit the circumstances of some #hikers but not others. Some were found found bundled with more than just their own clothes and some were found with nothing but their underwear and socks on. Some were under a tree several feet while others were found under meters of snow on a totally different part of the #mountain. The strangest part? One of the hiker's tongues was missing! We may never know what really happened, but we can sure speculate about this #eerie and tragic case.PHENOMANNOUNCEMENTS: Check out my friend @JrnieJade on instagram!
