You can wander along the shores of just about any country to take in gorgeous white-sand beaches or even try your luck at getting a glimpse of the Himalayas. But sometimes, the technology can reveal some of Earth’s dark, creepy secrets. [source]

#9 Mountain Summit Black Spot

Kangtega is a major mountain peak of the Himalayas in Nepal with a summit of 6,782 meters. What that black spot at the peak of the mountain really is has caused a lot of debate. From what I could find it seems it is shown as that because of a dispute with China.

The lake is situated just outside of Sadr City, a suburb district of Baghdad in Iraq.  This Google Earth image went viral after the lake turned a spooky blood-red.  Some believe it is from blood being dumped in the lake, although an official explanation has not been announced it probably come from sewage, pollution or a water treatment process.

This pentagram can be seen on the southern shore of Upper Tobol Reservoir in Kazakhstan. Although it may seem sinister, there has been an explanation. Apparently it is an outline of a park made to form a star. Stars were popular symbols during the soviet era and the roadways make the shape more visible.
