Banana plantsBanana plants growing on a plantation. Each herbaceous trunk bears only one bunch of fruit and is cut down after harvest to encourage new growth from the rhizome (underground stem)
The banana plant is a gigantic herb that springs from an underground stem, or rhizome, to form a false trunk 3–6 metres (10–20 feet) high. This trunk is composed of the basal portions of leaf sheaths and is crowned with a rosette of 10 to 20 oblong to elliptic leaves that sometimes attain a length of 3–3.5 metres (10–11.5 feet) and a breadth of 65 cm (26 inches). A large flower spike, carrying numerous yellowish flowers protected by large purple-red bracts, emerges at the top of the false trunk and bends downward to become bunches of 50 to 150 individual fruits, or fingers. The individual fruits, or bananas, are grouped in clusters, or hands, of 10 to 20. After a plant has fruited, it is cut down to the ground, because each trunk produces only one bunch of fruit. The dead trunk is replaced by others in the form of suckers, or shoots, which arise from the rhizome at roughly six-month intervals. The life of a single rhizome thus continues for many years, and the weaker suckers that it sends up through the soil are periodically pruned, while the stronger ones are allowed to grow into fruit-producing plants.

There’s a curious little forest in far-western Poland near the German border where trees grow at a 90-degree angle at their base — and no one knows why. This mystery is doubly intriguing because the Crooked Forest, as it’s known, is surrounded by a non-crooked forest of trees that grow straight up in the normal way.
Deep in the northern deserts of Mexico is a 30-odd square-mile area where things are just a bit off. In the earthly realm, the Zone contains dozens of flora and fauna endemic to the area and is rich in uranium and magnetite. It’s the otherworldly claims, however, that are most intriguing.
Few if any presumed UFO sites are as rich with conspiracy as the one formerly owned by billionaire Robert Bigelow in the Utah wilderness 150 miles east of Salt Lake City. It helps that a movie in the found-footage genre called “Skinwalker Ranch” was filmed there in 2013, and that the ranch was featured in the “Extraordinary Beliefs” documentary series. Add that to decades of mysterious sightings and encounters, and you have (allegedly) a full-fledged government cover-up in plain sight.
Whether you believe in extraterrestrials or paranormal activity, there’s no denying the bizarre at Skinwalker Ranch, where there have been reported sightings of UFOs, bigfoot-type creatures, animal mutilations, unexplained lights, poltergeist activity and crop circles. These things have been reported throughout Uintah County, but are in the highest concentration around the ranch.
The ranch was named after the Navajo legend about harmful witches who disguise themselves as, turn into or possess any animal.
Across the Mississippi River from St. Louis there once was a thriving city of 20,000 American Indians from many different cultures — making it at the time the largest and most sophisticated city in North America outside Mexico, with a larger population than European cities like London.
Mystery has always held a certain allure, a fascination that draws us in, compelling us to uncover the secrets hidden beneath the surface. In the realm of human personality, mysterious women have long captured our imaginations. They are intriguing enigmas, and they possess an air of mystique that sets them apart from the ordinary. But who is the mysterious woman, and what signs can help us identify her? Let’s delve into the world of these captivating individuals and explore what makes them special.
