Underground cities mistery

Derinkuyu
This ancient Turkish city could house more than 50 thousand people, reached eleven stories below ground, and was built in the 7th or 8th century by Christians hiding from persecution. Turkey is full of underground cities, in part because the volcanic rock in the region is easy to carve out.

Cheyenne Mountain
Once home to NORAD, this underground city was built down Colorado's Cheyenne Mountain to hold thousands of people and withstand a nuclear attack. Though it was secure during the Cold War, advances in missile technology mean that it's no longer a sure bet when the nukes fall. So NORAD has been moved to a new location, and the city remains standing some people still live there but it may become a museum soon.
Portland
In Portland, Oregon on the west coast of the United States, there's a wide network of underground tunnels, former homes and businesses. The place was used almost entirely for bars before and during Prohibition, and earned the nickname "Shanghai Tunnels" because unwary sailors were often "shanghaied" drugged while drinking, only to find themselves aboard a ship the next day, where they had to work until they hit another port.

California mistery

Racetrack Playa How ordinary stones manage to "sail" over the surface of racetrack playa in Death Valley National Park is a mystery people have tried to solve since 1915, when a prospector and his wife noticed tracks that seemed to indicate that the stones had somehow traveled across the dry earth. Short of cosmic intervention, the stones required terrestrial forces to move them. The current prevailing theory about the "sailing stones" of Racetrack Playa, presented by a team of physicists in 2011, involves ice that forms around the stones, causing them to move and to leave a trail in their wake. Many visitors still hope for a more mystical explanation.

Mistery of miyake

Devil sea Also known as Dragon's Triangle because of ancient legends suggesting dragons living off the coast of Japan. There has been a lot of suspicious activity along this region like  numerous disappearances of ships and planes. In 1952, the Japanese Government sent an investigation team of 31 members. Sadly, the whole team including the ship disappeared in the sea, never to be seen again. Another story tells of Kublai Khan's disastrous attempts to invade Japan by crossing the Devil's Sea, losing at least 40 000 men in the process. Other speculations range from aliens, to gates to parallel universes, high volcanic activity leading to disappearances and even to Atlantis.
