Rock in The House, Fountain City

On April 24, 1995, a 55-ton boulder rolled down a hill and crashed into the bedroom of the house of Maxine and Dwight Anderson at 440 North Shore Drive in Fountain City, Wisconsin. No one was killed or injured, but Maxine had just finished remodeling the house and moments ago was in the very bedroom photographing it. Shaken by the incident, the Anderson’s sold the house and moved out within a month.

The house’s new owner, John Burt, a real estate investor, instead of restoring the house, renamed the property “Rock in the House,” hung a sign and turned it into a tourist attraction. Within the first six months some 12,000 people is said to have visited the attraction. The 16-foot tall disk shaped rock is still wedged on the back of the house. Splintered wood, dirt and debris lie scattered inside the bedroom and around the place.

Cuexcomate, A Dead Volcano You Can Climb Into

Located in the neighborhood of La Libertad, in the city of Puebla, Mexico, the sinter cone deposit of Cuexcomate has been mistakenly described as the “smallest volcano in the world” by the local population for centuries. It really is only an extinguished geyser, or perhaps a mud volcano (Cuexcomate is a Nahautl word for “mud pot”) believed to have formed by the bursts of magma and sulfuric water during the 1064 eruption of Popocatépetl, an active volcano and the second highest peak in Mexico. The volcanic eruption had likely activated geothermal spring circulation that burst through the Mesozoic limestone layers and deposited calcite and silicate compounds creating an enormous heap 43 feet tall and 75 feet across that looks very much like the cone of a small volcano.

The sinter cone is hollow and there is a 23-feet-wide opening at the top, through which a spiraling metal staircase was installed allowing tourists to descend into the excavated interior of the structure.

Kamilo Hawaii's Plastic Beach

beach hawaii's kamilo plastic Weird

On the remote southeastern tip of the Big Island of Hawaii, lies the beach of Kamilo, where swirling ocean currents bring and dump all sorts of trash from the Pacific Northwest. Traditionally, the native Hawaiians would go there to collect large evergreen logs that drifted ashore, from which they fashioned dugout canoes. Today, instead of logs tons of plastic litter the crescent-shaped beach for more than a mile.

Hawaii is situated in the path of the North Pacific Gyre, a large rotating ocean current that circles the Pacific between North America and Japan. The gyre's rotational pattern draws in trash from across the North Pacific Ocean, including coastal waters off North America and Japan, and traps it at the center to form the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Almost 90% of this trash is plastic.

The Mysterious London Stone

london mysterious stone Weird

Embedded in the wall of 111 Cannon Street, in the City of London, just above the sidewalk, is a small grilled window that appears like a decorative skylight for an underground basement. Behind it, in a glass enclosure and dimly lit from inside, is an irregular chunk of oolitic limestone, believed to be one of London’s most ancient and important relic. But nobody remembers what it was used for.

Ignored by the thousands of Londoners who walk past the grilled window every day, the London Stone has stood in or around the same spot on present-day Cannon Street for at least a thousand years, and possibly even two. The stone’s mysterious origin has fascinated people for centuries and even appeared in the works of Shakespeare, William Blake and Dickens.

Weird Skeletons Discovered In The Basement Of An Old Home In London

Weird

In 2006, a sealed basement was uncovered beneath a London orphanage. Inside were hundreds of large crates that collectively contained thousands of nightmarish artifacts, otherworldly specimens and mysterious diaries. The items ranged from strange to disturbing and you can see some of them in the pictures below. But be warned! They’re pretty creepy.

The items are now known as the Merrylin Cryptid Collection. The name comes from the man to whom they belonged, a Crypto-naturalist, Fringe Zoologist and Xeno-Archeologist (got that?) named Thomas Theodore Merrylin. Born in England (Hellingshire. Where else?) in 1782 to a rich aristocrat and biologist, Merrylin dedicated his life to the collection and study of these weird and wonderful (but mainly weird) specimens. Are they real? Are they fake? We have no idea. All we know for sure is that they’re kind of odd. And kind of cool.

UPDATE: Turns out these creepy artifacts are actually the creations of Alex CF, a London-based illustrator, writer, and sculptor. You can find more of his amazing work here.
