Nature is full of surprises, and some of them are really strange! One of the coolest is the Qiantang River in China, where you can see the world’s largest tidal bore—huge waves that rush up the river like a wall of water. Then there's the phenomenon of “fire rainbows,” which look like rainbow flames in the sky but are actually caused by sunlight hitting ice crystals in clouds. Ever heard of blood falls? That’s when red-colored water pours out of a glacier in Antarctica! There’s also bioluminescent beaches, where the water glows at night due to tiny glowing organisms.

It seems that modern science has an explanation for everything that happens around us. But as it turns out, nature has a lot of other tricks up its sleeve like dancing forest on the shores of the Baltic Sea, walking rocks, raining jellyfish, and other amazing things that are so impressive, people often try to provide explanations for them that are far from correct. By the way, some of these strange natural phenomena are really scary. Take, for example, the throbbing hum in Taos, New Mexico that has driven locals wild since the 1990s. The low-frequency hum deprives people of sleep and depletes their energy. Even though scientists have tried to find the source of the hum, they still haven’t pinpointed its origin. Different variations of the hum have also been heard in the UK, Australia, Canada, and other areas of the United States. Luckily, only about 2% of the world's population can hear it.

Ever heard of mysterious cicadas? These creatures are like nature's enigma wrapped in a symphony. They spend years underground, only to emerge in swarms with a buzz that can be heard for miles. Some species appear every 13 or 17 years, leaving scientists scratching their heads over this bizarre timeline. And here's the kicker – they synchronize their emergence, making it even more baffling. These cryptic insects have puzzled researchers for centuries, and there's still so much we don't know about their secrets. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Billions, maybe even a trillion, cicadas are set to emerge in a super rare double-brood event. This means two broods, Brood XIII (which shows up every 17 years) and Brood XIX (every 13 years), will pop out at the same time. Entomologists, who study bugs, divide cicadas into these "broods" to track when they emerge. Usually, different broods come out at different times, but this year, both will appear together, something that last happened 221 years ago in 1803. This amazing synchronicity won’t happen again until 2245, and these broods are conveniently located right next to each other. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
