YOU SHOULDN’T RISK TAKING A SWIM IN THESE PLACES

are you a pro swimmer brave enough to

take a dip in any Ocean or sea bad news

there are some places you should avoid

no matter how well you swim or dive

some of these places have dangerous

underwater rocks strong currents and

tides

others are famous for legends about

monsters and mysterious creatures so

let's dive into this aquatic Horror Show

have you ever heard the word the strid

it's a variation of the word The Stride

that is used in Yorkshire

and it refers to a narrow section of the

river Wharf that's so small you could

jump over it but don't be fooled by its

size it's one of the most dangerous

spots around even taking a step into the

water can have dire consequences the

river Wharf has a forceful current and

since the strid is so narrow it's even

stronger in that area

the intense water flow has eroded the

Limestone around the strid

which created Hollow spaces much deeper

than the rest of the riverbed

here's the secret the current has also

weakened the banks of the strid from

below so the ground you're standing on

admiring the rapid flow is probably just

a fragile ledge hanging over treacherous

Waters

there's no record of anyone who found

themselves in the water of the street

and found their way out of it

and the worst part you wouldn't even

guess that this innocent looking stream

could be such a danger so my advice to

you my friend is to stick to a safer

body of water for your aquatic

Adventures

if you're looking for a weekend getaway

in California Horseshoe Lake is the spot

for you it's got everything sandy

beaches hiking trails and picnic areas

but wait there's more to it than meets

the eye this lake has a dark side namely

around 100 acres of dead trees that

surround it

and it's not just the trees that have

been claimed by this Lake the

earthquakes that hit in 1989 and 1990

Unleashed carbon dioxide from under the

hot magma the gas seeped out into the

air damaging all the life around the

lake

even now Horseshoe Lake is just as

dangerous as it was 30 years ago

what makes it so scary is that the

levels of this toxic gas change randomly

warning signs that are posted everywhere

certainly could give a horror film touch

to a fun hike in the woods

in Kauai Hawaii there's a group of

stunning waterfalls that used to be a

popular destination for tourists

kipu Falls as they're called were once

the go-to spot for swimming and Diving

to get to them you had to take a long

walk along a dirt path until you finally

arrived at a breathtaking view of a

20-foot waterfall pouring into a Crystal

Clear Pool below

but since 2011 this area has been off

limits to the public

why you ask

well there have been a lot of accidents

at kippu Falls obviously jumping off the

top of the waterfall would be an obvious

reason for that but in addition there

were much more mysterious cases

Witnesses tell Tales of swimmers

peacefully enjoying the pool at the

bottom of the falls only to be suddenly

dragged under the surface

no definite explanation was found to

these accidents

the locals believe that the water spirit

Mo o is to blame because it doesn't

appreciate being disturbed by loud

tourists

there's also a theory of a powerful

Whirlpool at the bottom of the pool in

any case guide Publishers do not mention

kipu Falls anymore and trespassing is

severely punished

the samisan hole located in the Gulf of

Thailand is the ultimate spot for

thrill-seeking divers but it's also the

most dangerous one with a drop of 280

feet it's the deepest diving site in the

region

but its depth is not the only reason it

is considered a place to avoid

the area is a major shipping zone for

giant oil tankers the strong currents

around the hole make diving even more

treacherous

and if that's not enough the same hole

is also home to deadly barracudas that

could easily attack unsuspecting divers

the water is so murky that visibility is

nearly zero making it challenging to

spot these aggressive sea creatures

all in all the samisan hole located in the Gulf of

Thailand is the ultimate spot for

thrill-seeking divers but it's also the

most dangerous one with a drop of 280

feet it's the deepest diving site in the

region

but its depth is not the only reason it

is considered a place to avoid

the area is a major shipping zone for

giant oil tankers the strong currents

around the hole make diving even more

treacherous

and if that's not enough the same hole

is also home to deadly barracudas that

could easily attack unsuspecting divers

the water is so murky that visibility is

nearly zero making it challenging to

spot these aggressive sea creatures

all in all the samisan hole is a

breathtaking but extremely hazardous

spot that should only be explored by

experienced divers with nerves of Steel

let me tell you about New Smyrna Beach

the shark attack capital of the world

if you're looking for a relaxing

vacation spot in Volusia County Florida

you may want to reconsider this beach

the waters around New Smyrna Beach are

teeming with fish which attracts a lot

of sharks

in fact there have been so many shark

attacks reported in this area

that it's earned the title of the shark

attack capital of the world

even scientists have warned that if you

go for a swim there you're bound to get

up close and personal with at least one

of these creatures

we are talking about a distance of 10

feet and in many cases you wouldn't even

notice it

to make matters worse the bull shark one

of the most dangerous and aggressive

types of shocks has been spotted in

these Waters

once again Kawhi is on our list

the beach on Nepali Coast called

hanakapi Beach might look like heaven on

Earth but don't be fooled

to get there you have to Trek through a

super steep Rocky two-mile Trail

there are no lifeguards on this remote

beach so even if you decide to take a

dip in the water you're on your own

the biggest threat to your safety is the

incredibly strong rip currents they are

almost always present because there are

no reefs to Shield the shore and if

someone gets caught in one there's no

safe place to swim to for miles

the nearest safe Beach is six miles away

trust me this beach doesn't have the

best track record in terms of safety so

it's highly advised that you stay out of

the water if you end up at this beach

let me tell you about a place that looks

like it's straight out of a horror movie

we're talking about Berkeley pit which

is an artificial Lake situated in Butte

Montana

the first thing you'll notice about this

place is that it has an eerie blood red

color that can only be described as

unsettling

you might be tempted to take a dip but

that would be a grave mistake don't even

touch it

the water is extremely dangerous due to

the heavy metals present in it such as

cadmium arsenic zinc lead and copper

they come from the rocks that surround

the lake and make the water super acidic

in fact this place used to be an open

pit copper mine hence its color so if

you want my advice avoid this place like

the plague

there are three lakes in Africa that

maybe are the most dangerous places of

all that I have mentioned so far

they're all located in Africa lake

monunin lake nios and Cameroon and Lake

kivu in Rwanda are all like ticking

timers ready to go off

they were formed over underground pools

of molten rock and sometimes this molten

rock releases toxic gases like methane

and carbon dioxide right into the water

when this happens the gases can build up

until they suddenly burst out of the

water creating massive waves that can

wipe out everything in their path

this type of outburst is called a limnic

eruption and it can release a cloud of

poisonous gas that can be harmful to

everything in the vicinity

the most terrifying part these

explosions can happen at any moment with

no warning

so if you ever find yourself near one of

these Lakes you'd better be on high

alert because you never know when the

next accident might happen

maybe you know other places you wouldn't

recommend for a fun swim
