Not all India's mysterious spots are about cursed lands and supernatural experiences. One of Indian's biggest curiosities lies in the Kodhini Village in Kerala. The strange thing about this village is that it is home to more than 400 twins. About three generations ago, the Kodinhi village women mostly started giving birth to identical twins. There is no explanation for this odd situation.

Jatinga seems to be the magnetic death pole for thousands and thousands of birds. The strip of land is like Bermuda Triangle for birds. Every year post monsoon in October, the birds in the area seem to get agitated and disoriented from 6:00 to 9:30 pm on moonless nights. What's strange is that the group of birds includes all sorts of migratory fliers.
The Magnetic Hill in Ladakh is legendary and mysterious in equal proportions. It seems like the laws of gravity are applicable everywhere but here. If you park your car on this location, it might start driving uphill by itself. Some people define this phenomenon as a result of a strong magnetic field. On the other hand, some people claim it is a mere illusion.
