The Mystery: People have long scratched their heads over the "Sailing Stones," which mysteriously move across the sandy playars surface on their own, leaving visible tracks in their wake.
Fact: Given that these rocks chart a new course once every three years, itrs no wonder no one has ever seen them in motion. Some theorize that, in winter, wet clay and strong windsmwhich can reach speeds of up to 90 mphmare to blame, but no one is 100 percent certain what causes this curious natural (or unnatural?) phenomena.
Mount Shasta
Redding, Calif.
The Mystery: This stunning snow-capped peak in the Cascade Mountain range, 60 miles south of the Oregon border, has long been considered one of the planetrs great "cosmic power spots," luring everyone from Native Americans to Buddhist monks and hippies. Its sacred slopes are home to a potpourri of mysteries: spontaneous altered states; UFO sightings; crystal caves; encounters with Ascended Masters; underground military bases; even the rumored home to Lemurians, surviving members of a sensitive super-race some believe existed 12,000 years ago during the time of Atlantis.
Fact: A chance encounter with a strange group of warm, seemingly enlightened people in Shasta Valley inspired James Hilton to author the classic 1933 novel Lost Horizon, a tale about the idyllic community of Shangri-La. Others claim similar real-life experiences, but the mountainrs sheer natural beauty is inspiration enough for most.
