7 Creepy Unsolved Mysteries
The moment I saw the photograph--a grave enclosed in an iron cage--I knew there was a book in it for me. The online article I'd stumbled across was brief and uninformative, claiming that this girl's family caged her grave because they thought she was a vampire (or maybe a werewolf). Even the location of the grave was obscured in the article, listed as "near Rorhbach's outside Catawissa, Pennsylvania."
Nogales, Mexico - A Few Steps, and a Whole World Away
A SIMPLE painted sign on a wooden board — “To ” — was propped near the door in the fence, but it was the fence itself that fascinated me. Some masterpieces are unintentional, the result of a freakish accident or an explosive act of sheer weirdness, and the fence that divides Nogales, Ariz., from Nogales, Mexico, is one of them. In a lifetime of crossing borders I find this pitiless fence the oddest frontier I have ever seen — more formal than the , more brutal than the Great Wall of China, yet in its way just as much an example of the same folie de grandeur.

From Waterfall To Lavafall: Yosemite's Fleeting Phenomenon : The Picture Show
If you head to Yosemite National Park this time of year and stop by Horsetail Fall at just the right time, you might see something spectacular: As the sun sinks low in the sky, the waterfall glows with streaks of gold and yellow — and it looks just like molten lava. Photographers like Michael Frye flock to the park every February to try to capture the phenomenon. Frye, author of The Photographer's Guide to Yosemite, describes the sight to NPR's Audie Cornish. "It's this narrow ribbon of water falling from this high cliff, the eastern buttress of [the El Capitan rock formation]," he says. "Just that narrow little ribbon of water is lit and everything else around it is dark. And with the right light, that water can turn orange or even red."
