The distant village of Kodinhi, Kerala has a secret. Not a particularly hidden secret, mind you - it’s actually pretty hard to miss. The village’s claim to fame is the abnormal amount of twins born there. Kodinhi only has around 2,000 families, yet there are 250 sets of twins officially registered there. In fact, there could be much more - experts estimate there could be as many as 350 sets of twins in the area.It is estimated that the number of twins born in the village is increasing every year, and no one really knows why. This is all the more remarkable because twins are especially rare in India—on average, four out of every 1,000 Indian births are twins. In Kodinhi, the number is 45 per 1,000 births. Doctors have absolutely no idea what is causing this strange phenomenon. They assume there must be some unknown hereditary factor at work, or maybe it’s something they eat.

2. The Jodhpur Boom...

On December 18, 2012, a sudden, deafening boom startled the people of Jodhpur. It seemed to come out of nowhere, crashing in the sky like the sonic boom caused by an airplane breaking the speed of sound. However, it was more aggressive in nature, sounding a lot like a massive explosion. The citizens were concerned about the sound and asked around about it, but it soon turned out that no planes had been flying over the area and no explosions had taken place.

The weirdest part is that it appears that the entire month was littered with strange, unexplained booms all over the world, from the United Kingdom to Texas. These bangs were witnessed over the course of several weeks and sometimes they were accompanied by strange green light. In one of the locations, a geologist even stated that the booms and subsequent tremors were unlike anything he had ever encountered and didn’t fit the official explanation that the Air Force were testing a new plane.

3.The Nine Unknown Men ...

The Nine Unknown Men are to India what the Illuminati is to the Western world, but even more pervasive and mysterious. According to legend, this powerful secret society was founded by Emperor Asoka in 273 BC after a bloody battle that took the lives of 100,000 men. The function of the Nine Unknown Men was to preserve and develop the sort of secret information that would be too dangerous in the hands of the uninitiated.

Each of the Nine was tasked with holding a special book of knowledge, ranging from propaganda to microbiology. Some of them are even said to hold the secrets of anti-gravity and time travel. Occasionally, some of this precious information leaks out into the world - for instance, it is said that the martial art of Judo was based on “leaks” from the Book of Physiology. The number of the Unknown Men is always nine, and their undisguised contacts with the outside world are unknown.

Suspected Members :- Among suspected members of the Nine Unknown are the influential 10th century Pope Sylvester II and Vikram Sarabhai, the scientist who created India’s budding space program.

4. The Taj Mahal Conspiracy ....

Considered one of the modern wonders of the world, Taj Mahal was created by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum to his deceased wife. Or was it? According to some theories, Taj Mahal was never the architectural embodiment of eternal love history remembers it as. Instead, some evidence suggests that the building is actually about 300 years older than its supposed builder. Professor P.N. Oak, the man behind this theory, claims that the building was originally not a mausoleum at all.

P.N. Oak suggests that Taj Mahal is actually an ancient Hindu temple known as Tejo Mahalaya dedicated to the worship of the god Shiva. If true, this turns the entire history of Taj Mahal on its head. Until the Indian government agrees to open the sealed rooms within the building so they can be thoroughly investigated by experts, the mystery remains.

5. The Bhoot Billi (Ghost Cat)

The Bhootbilli is basically a “ghost cat,” that terrorizes some areas in the city of Pune. It’s a strange amalgamated animal that appears to be a cross between a cat, a dog and a mongoose. One eyewitness claims that the creature is “fat and broad with a long tail, black in colour, has a face like a dog and back like a mongoose.” However, experts believe that the Bhootbilli is actually nothing more than a little cat and a lot of imagination.

6. The Ghost Town of Kuldhara ...

But there is something else about the bridge that makes this place one of the most mysterious places in India…

According to Ramayana, the bridge was built of stones that would stay afloat once the name of Lord Rama was scribbled on it. As it turns out, this wasn’t just a story.
