00:00:09Have you ever wondered if, in this modern world, there are places where the boundary
00:00:15between reality and the void becomes impossible to distinguish?
00:00:24Today, we will take you on a breathtaking adventure through natural wonders known as the Lands
00:00:31of Spirits.
00:00:42These are not just stunning landmarks, they hold within them ancient mysterious legends.
00:00:48In these places, science must give way to mysteries that defy explanation.
00:01:00Behold the legendary Mount Kailash, the sacred mountain whose summit no one can ever reach,
00:01:08or immerse yourself in the solitude of Bouvet Island, where strange radio signals still echo
00:01:15in the depths of the icy ocean.
00:01:17And perhaps most chilling of all is Poveglia Island, said to imprison countless restless
00:01:25souls with cries that still drift through the darkness of night.
00:01:33Are you ready to cross the threshold of ordinary understanding?
00:01:38To listen to the calls from the invisible world and feel its spiritual energy?
00:01:42Let us together uncover the deepest mysteries within the Lands of Spirits.
00:01:58Socotra Island, Yemen.
00:02:06Lying isolated in the western Indian Ocean, about 240 kilometers from mainland Yemen, Socotra
00:02:16Island is one of the most pristine and unique places on Earth.
00:02:36With an ecosystem virtually untouched for millennia, it is often described as a living museum
00:02:43of evolution.
00:02:58The island's terrain is a blend of rugged rocky mountains, ancient caves, and long stretches
00:03:05of soft white sand leading to the sea, where clear turquoise waters reflect the tropical sunlight.
00:03:21Diverse coral reefs and massive sand dunes spill down to the shores, forming bizarre and vibrant
00:03:28landforms.
00:03:40The most striking feature of Socotra is its dragon's blood tree forest.
00:03:46These trees have sturdy trunks and massive umbrella-shaped canopies.
00:04:03Interspersed among them are swollen trunk cucumber trees and native frankincense species, creating a landscape
00:04:11that feels almost surreal.
00:04:25Endemic plants grow on limestone plateaus, along barren mountain slopes, or within secluded valleys.
00:04:33Places nearly untouched by human hands.
00:04:52According to local legends passed down through generations, these gnarled trees with crown-like canopies
00:05:00spirits are said to be the incarnations of ancient dragon spirits.
00:05:15They were mythical beings who once inhabited the island to protect its people from dark forces.
00:05:33The red sap is regarded as a sacred elixir believed to heal both body and soul.
00:05:50In the waters surrounding Socotra, legends also tell of an ancient creature, a giant beast capable of
00:05:58shape-shifting, appearing sometimes as the silhouette of a whale, other times as a massive finned entity,
00:06:06hidden beneath the silver waves.
00:06:23On nights of the full moon, locals say the creature rises to the surface, gliding silently through the pale light.
00:06:44Reaching Socotra requires patience, but the reward is an experience like no other.
00:07:03On the limestone plateaus, visitors can marvel at the dragon's blood trees, strange trees with canopies stretching out like upside
00:07:13-down umbrellas, casting shadows over the arid ground.
00:07:29Scattered among them are endemic plants like the Socotra cucumber tree, with its unusual shape, creating a landscape that feels
00:07:38like an alien planet.
00:07:53Travelers can swim, snorkel among coral reefs, or simply lose themselves in the tranquility untouched by urban life.
00:08:16Travelers wind through mountains and valleys, leading to hidden caves, gorges, and pools tucked away in nature.

00:08:39Aokigahara Forest, Japan
00:08:46Nestled at the foot of Mount Fuji, about 100 kilometers from Tokyo, Aokigahara Forest is known as the Sea of
00:08:55Trees.
00:09:04This forest is dense with trees standing close together, their interwoven canopies forming a natural dome that keeps the forest
00:09:13floor shrouded in gloomy darkness at all hours.
00:09:27The forest floor is covered with traces of ancient lava flows, rugged and unpredictable.
00:09:33Dark boulders lie scattered, mingling with rocky hollows and small crevices.
00:09:50Tree roots emerge from the ground, twisted together like fossilized arms reaching up from the earth.
00:10:07Moss and lichen cover the ground, tree trunks and rocks.
00:10:12The air is always cold and heavy with the scent of decaying leaves even in midsummer.
00:10:26There are no sounds of birds or insects, only the wind rustling through the leaves and the echo of your
00:10:33own footsteps in the silent, stifling space.
00:10:44In the Japanese consciousness, this forest bears a dark name, the suicide forest.
00:11:03Hundreds have come here to end their lives.
00:11:06According to folklore, the souls of those who died tragically, Uri, remain trapped in the forest, unable to pass on.
00:11:29This has made the place a destination of death and solitude, rather than a natural wonder.
00:11:47Many who have walked through the forest say they have heard whispers, cries or footsteps.
00:12:04Inside Okigahara, navigation devices often fail and compasses spin aimlessly.
00:12:22This does not happen because of supernatural forces, but due to the unusual magnetism of the volcanic rock beneath the
00:12:31ground.
00:12:44Aokigahara also recalls memories of the Ubasut ritual, an old custom practiced during Japan's famine periods.
00:13:01Back then, families would carry their elderly into the forest and leave them to die, to save food for the
00:13:09rest.
00:13:20For those brave enough to visit Aokigahara, the journey usually starts in Tokyo, traveling to Kawaguchiko, then continuing by bus
00:13:30or car to the forest's edge.
00:13:39Some stops within the forest allow visitors to explore small lava caves and learn stories about spirits and the afterlife.
00:13:48For safety reasons, visitors are strongly advised not to stray from the marked paths.
00:14:07Warning signs and emergency phones are placed at key points.

00:15:12However, there are always ways to Such as paintings may not be stipend by the antioxidation of there.
00:15:34That ice layer is white, dense, and silent,
00:15:39as if time here had stopped flowing thousands of years ago.
00:15:57Dark basalt cliffs stand steeply around the island,
00:16:02constantly battered by the fierce waves of the freezing ocean.
00:16:19One can only see a colorless world,
00:16:22gray sky, gray sea, white land, and snowstorms.
00:16:35Only on a few rocky outcrops in the west
00:16:38do silent penguin colonies appear.
00:16:48Seals bask on the cold rocky beaches,
00:16:51eyes watching the restless waters,
00:16:54sensing the strange desolation surrounding them.
00:17:10In 1964, a Norwegian research ship
00:17:14discovered a lifeboat still new drifting onto the island.
00:17:25The boat was full of clothes and supplies,
00:17:29but there was no trace of any living person or shipwreck.
00:17:41And then, a strange radio signal was emitted
00:17:44from that very place.
00:17:47No one could decode the signal.
00:17:49People called it the Bouvée incident.
00:18:04Since then, many mysterious theories have been spun.
00:18:09Does the island hide an underground base?
00:18:13Is someone conducting an extraterrestrial experiment?
00:18:17Or is it just the final message of a ghost ship?
00:18:36Accessing this place is nearly impossible.
00:18:39Only scientific expeditions equipped with heavy icebreakers
00:18:43can dare to approach.
00:18:58From the distant ship deck,
00:19:01you will see Bouvée like a snow fortress,
00:19:04an ancient volcano sealed within the eternal ice.
00:19:23That scene is both surreal and chilling to the bone,
00:19:27as if you are looking into a place humankind has never touched.
00:19:39Bouvée is strictly protected under the Antarctic Treaty.
00:20:00Bouvée is strictly protected under the Antarctic Treaty.
00:20:01And the river and solitary nature remains.
00:20:19Caño Cristales River, Colombia
00:20:28Caño Cristales River hides itself in the Serrania de la Macarena National Park
00:20:35where the Amazon Andes and Llanos plains meet.
00:20:50The local people call it the river born from a rainbow.
00:21:01During the wet season Macarena Clavigera, a strange aquatic plant, blooms under the river
00:21:09bed, glowing with shades of pink, yellow, green and blue.
00:21:23Sunlight shines down, making the crystal clear water reflect colors like moving brush strokes.
00:21:40Small waterfalls and ancient rock holes form natural clear pools.
00:21:54Surrounding them is dense primeval forest with towering ancient trees like pillars of time.
00:22:13The journey to Caño Cristales starts from Villavicencio city, then continues by boat and trekking deep
00:22:21into the jungle of the Serrania de la Macarena reserve.
00:22:35On the stone paved trails through the forest, each step feels like it brings you closer
00:22:42to another world.
00:22:53Along the way, travelers can stop at small waterfalls, admire the rock rapids carved by time,
00:23:01and swim in natural pools as clear as crystal.
00:23:18Caño Cristales is a fragile ecosystem where even a drop of artificial chemical can harm the magical vegetation beneath the
00:23:28clear water.
00:23:39Local guides will remind you to be careful.
00:23:43No sunscreen.
00:23:44No insect repellent.
00:23:46No trace left behind.
00:24:00Here, respect for nature is not just a rule.
00:24:04It is an unspoken promise between humans and the earth and sky.
00:24:21Besides, visitors can also stop by La Macarena, a small town nestled in the Colombian jungle.
00:24:40The people of La Macarena live slowly, close to the land, the forest, and the river with quiet reverence.
00:25:03Through simple meals of corn rice, grilled plantains, and fresh fish, travelers will taste the true soul of this pristine
00:25:12land.
00:25:38Avenue of the Baobabs, Madagascar.
00:25:46Amid the arid lands of southwestern Madagascar, the avenue of the Baobabs rises like an ancient corridor crafted by nature
00:25:56centuries ago.
00:26:09On the sun-scorched red earth, massive Baobab trunks stand tall and solemn.
00:26:29Each Baobab tree resembles a pillar of time, bearing witness to hundreds of years of resilience against wind, sand, and
00:26:39blazing sun.
00:26:52The silvery-gray trunks, huge and smooth as if carved from stone, contrast with the spindly branches stretching skyward.
00:27:11They are not lush, but strangely sparse, as if the trees had pulled their roots upward into the sky.
00:27:28This shape evokes images of primeval beings guarding some ancient secret within the heart of the continent.
00:27:50In the moments of day's transition, dawn or dusk, sunlight paints the entire scene red,
00:27:59casting a warm golden glow on the towering trunks before shifting into a burnt copper hue.
00:28:23The giant Baobabs hold deep sacred meaning in Malagasy culture.
00:28:28They are seen as trees of life, dwelling places for ancestral spirits.
00:28:45Caring for or respecting these ancient trees is not only an act of environmental stewardship,
00:28:51but also a way of preserving the spiritual connection between generations.
00:29:06Many local communities still maintain small rituals beneath the trees,
00:29:11viewing them as bridges between the material world and the invisible realm.
00:29:29The journey to the avenue of the Baobabs begins from the coastal town of Morondava,
00:29:36where visitors can travel by car or local transport.
00:29:54The best time to experience it is at sunrise or sunset, when the light bathes the canopy in gold,
00:30:01creating sharp silhouettes against the vibrant sky and growing shadows.
00:30:20This is also when photographers and travelers come to capture iconic images.
00:30:34Beyond the scenery, visitors have the chance to visit surrounding traditional villages,
00:30:40talk with local people, and learn about the profound bond between the Baobabs and their daily lives.
00:31:02Hestalen Valley, Norway
00:31:10Hidden in central Norway, Hestalen Valley appears as a peaceful slice of the Nordic countryside.
00:31:31Lush green hills, dense pine and birch forests intertwine with small streams meandering through meadows,
00:31:40creating a pristine landscape.
00:31:54But when night falls, Hestalen transforms instantly.
00:31:58The Hestalen lights phenomenon begins to appear, forming orbs of light in different shapes and colors,
00:32:07white, yellow, red, and blue.
00:32:23They float motionless in the air, then suddenly move in unpredictable paths, merging and dispersing in an instant.
00:32:49Against the clear starry night sky, these glowing masses stand out as if someone is lighting lamps in mid-air.
00:33:09They make no sound, only moving in silence.
00:33:13That eerie silence is mixed with the distant sounds of wind and streams.
00:33:33Despite many scientific theories, such as plasma reactions from underground minerals or electromagnetic phenomena,
00:33:41no explanation is entirely convincing.
00:33:56For some researchers and locals, Hestalen is a point of energy intersection,
00:34:03a cosmic gateway where extraterrestrial activity might occur.
00:34:22On cold winter nights, the Hestalen lights are compared to signs of ancient trolls.
00:34:41They appear not to frighten, but to warn or guide those lost in the mountain fog.
00:35:04Locals also speak of the Huldra, mountain spirits in human form,
00:35:10hiding among rocks and trees, sometimes revealing themselves through strange lights or whispers in the wind.
00:35:31Hestalen is a unique destination for those passionate about exploring unexplained phenomena.
00:35:52The highlight experience is observing the Hestalen lights,
00:35:57a phenomenon still being studied by scientists at the Hestalen AMS Center.
00:36:18Visitors can go hiking, fishing, or visit traditional villages with rustic Nordic architecture.
00:36:40Whether you come here as a scientific pursuer or a curious traveler,
00:36:45Hestalen always evokes a sense of quiet, mystery, and deep contemplation.

00:37:25Vodhu Sea of Stars, Maldives
00:37:37Lying in the middle of the Maldives archipelago, Vodhu Beach is nothing short of a tropical
00:37:43paradise.
00:37:44With powdery white sand, palm trees swaying in the breeze, and crystal clear waters stretching
00:37:52to the horizon.
00:38:05But when night falls, this place transforms into a mystical, surreal world, where time
00:38:12seems to stand still.
00:38:15But when night falls, this place transforms into a mystical, surreal world where time seems
00:38:23to stand still.
00:38:37On moonless nights, the sea surface suddenly lights up with millions of tiny blue lights,
00:38:44appearing with each wave or human step.
00:38:59These glowing dots are caused by bioluminescent plankton emitting light when stimulated.
00:39:21Every gentle movement on the water's surface becomes illuminated, as if someone has sprinkled
00:39:28the entire night sky onto the sea.
00:39:43According to legend, these shimmering blue lights are signs of ocean spirits, appearing
00:39:49to guide sailors or send silent messages beneath the waves.
00:40:12Some folk stories see this phenomenon as an omen.
00:40:15When the lights appear unusually dense, it may signal upcoming changes.
00:40:34Or, it could be a form of spiritual protection, driving away hidden evils lurking in the ocean's depths.
00:40:56The most memorable experience for visitors happens at night, when the bioluminescence turns Vodhu
00:41:04into one of the rarest sights on Earth.
00:41:23With every step on the sand, tiny rippling waves light up as if sprinkled with countless specks
00:41:30of light.
00:41:46If conditions allow, you can swim in the warm waters, where every gentle splash makes the
00:41:53glowing light come alive around your body.
00:42:19Halong Bay, Vietnam.
00:42:21Halong Bay, Vietnam.
00:42:28Hidden along the western edge of the Gulf of Tonkin, Halong Bay appears like a vast limestone labyrinth
00:42:35amidst the sea, where time and geology have carved a living wonder together.
00:42:55More than 1,600 islands and islets, many rising straight up from the emerald waters, resemble ancient stone pillars left
00:43:05behind by a forgotten civilization.
00:43:23The surfaces of these islands are covered with native vegetation, clinging to every rock crevice and cliff face, creating soothing
00:43:32patches of green against the silvery-gray limestone.
00:43:48At the foot of the mountains, a network of dim, winding caves opens into magical spaces.
00:44:07Here, stalactites and stalagmites hang down like stone chandeliers that nature has suspended over tens of thousands of years.
00:44:25When dawn breaks, a thin mist drifts gently over the peaks, cloaking the landscape in an ethereal veil, making the
00:44:35whole scene feel like stepping into a fairy tale.
00:44:53Halong Bay holds a deep cultural sediment rooted in the sacred legends of the Vietnamese people.
00:45:16The name Halong, meaning descending dragon, is tied to the mythical story of the mother dragon, and her children descending
00:45:27to help the Vietnamese defend the world.
00:45:42According to legend, the jewels the dragon spat out turned into rocky islands, forming a natural sea defense.
00:46:01When the land was at peace, the dragons did not return to the sky but stayed on earth, transforming into
00:46:09the island chains to continue protecting the coastal people.
00:46:27Halong Bay offers a multi-layered journey of landscapes, culture, and experiences.
00:46:49Visitors can easily reach Halong by car or bus, then continue by boat or cruise to explore the bay.
00:47:10One of the highlights is kayaking through narrow straits, paddling alongside sheer cliffs, and slipping into caves hidden amidst the
00:47:21emerald waters.
00:47:36Famous caves like Sung Sot or Thien Kung open up an underground world of shimmering beauty, where stalactites and stalagmites
00:47:45stand like sculptures shaped by time and water.
00:47:55At dawn, the first sunlight shines upon the limestone islands, bathing the entire scene in golden hues, a peaceful moment
00:48:06not easily forgotten.
00:48:14Poveglia Island, Italy
00:48:25Poveglia Island, Italy
00:48:45In the 14th century, when the Black Death swept through Europe, the island became a place of isolation and burial
00:48:53for tens of thousands.
00:49:02By the 20th century, Poveglia Island, Italy
00:49:06By the 20th century, Poveglia took on another grim role, a psychiatric hospital.
00:49:13Many stories tell of inhumane treatments that took place.
00:49:19These included lobotomies without anesthesia or turning patients into subjects for scientific experiments.
00:49:40Today, though uninhabited, Poveglia seems far from silent.
00:49:46Those who have set foot on the island, explorers, fishermen, recount hearing moans, wails echoing in the air and feeling
00:49:56watched despite the ruins surrounding them.
00:50:09On the island, the decaying buildings, crumbling brick walls, collapsed domes, empty window frames, appear to dissolve piece by piece
00:50:20under the dust of time.
00:50:29Inside, the space is dim and cold with only desolate corridors, empty rooms, and traces of a place that once
00:50:38held life.
00:50:39Vines cover the walls like scars of time.
00:50:50The island's palette is a cold blend.
00:50:54The ashen gray of old cement, the mossy green of damp mildew, and the murky hue of brackish lagoon water.
00:51:13Though access is forbidden by the Italian authorities, Poveglia continues to attract those fascinated by dark history and the paranormal.
00:51:37Some daring visitors reach it through secret trips arranged by fishermen or locals.
00:51:50They often land at night or at dawn, when the mist still blankets the canals, adding a ghostly touch to
00:51:58the journey.
00:52:10The air is thick with a musty scent, a mix of rotting earth, ashes, and the traces of time.
00:52:27Some recount feeling watched when passing the old mortuary or hearing whispers in the darkness.
00:52:35Though no one is around.
00:52:53For the people of Venice, Poveglia is a symbol of a fear that exists beyond explanation.
00:53:27Mount Kailash, Tibet.
00:53:34Mount Kailash, the sacred peak in the Gangdese range, emerges as a legendary symbol of nature.
00:53:49Mount Kailash, the mountain standing 6,638 meters tall, rises like a giant pyramid with four nearly symmetrical faces, eternally
00:54:00covered in icy snow.
00:54:05Mount Kailash.
00:54:12Under the plateau sunlight, the white snow gleams like a holy aura, contrasting with the dark grey somber rocks.
00:54:21Mount Kailash.
00:54:31Steep slopes, scattered with boulders, form barriers between the mortal world and the sacred realm.
00:54:40Mount Kailash.
00:54:53Surrounding Kailash is the wilderness of Tibet.
00:54:56This is a plateau where winds howl day and night, and the arid land is painted with winding trails.
00:55:11Amidst this scenery, two sacred lakes appear like two opposing mirrors.
00:55:17Manasa Rovar, a clear freshwater lake, calm like the eyes of the gods.
00:55:33And Rakshastal, a deep blue saltwater lake, always rippling, like a rebellious spirit.
00:55:52Mount Kailash is the most sacred mountain in Buddhism, Hinduism, Bon and Jainism.
00:56:01Mount Kailash.
00:56:11It is believed to be the dwelling place of Lord Shiva, and an energy center of the world.
00:56:18Mount Kailash.
00:56:19Mount Kailash.
00:56:30There are legends that this mountain holds secrets of life and death.

00:56:43Mount Kailash.
00:56:44No one can reach its summit without being affected by its mystical energy.
00:56:59Mount Kailash.
00:57:01Mount Kailash is very challenging.
00:57:03Travelers usually fly to Lhasa, Tibet or Kathmandu, Nepal, then continue by road through perilous mountain passes.
00:57:23Pilgrimage around Mount Kailash is a profound spiritual experience, attracting thousands each year.
