In a town in New Mexico, people have been complaining about a strange humming sound. This humming sound also recently appeared in a small village in England.
In Bahrain, there is a tree that has survived in the desert for 400 years. It has no apparent source of water.
In Thailand, people gather every year in October to see the Naga Fireballs. Some people believe it is the breath of a serpent that lives in the river.
In Black Mountain, Australia, there is a labyrinth of massive black boulders. People say strange loud cries and bangs come from within the mountain and people have disappeared there.

I am walking through Taos, New Mexico, and suddenly I become aware of a strange sound. I’m not sure at first, but it sounds like a car engine in the distance. I look around but see nothing coming my way. I stand still and listen. It’s a faint hum. I start feeling dizzy so I find somewhere to sit. The more I hear it, the more irritating it becomes. I just want to leave.
