Eerie Submerged Structures That Will Give You The Chills

Helike, Greece

Another fascinating site of ancient history called Helike can be found in Greece. This city was submerged after an earthquake caused a massive tsunami, but there was actually a debate between historians about whether this city even existed for quite a time. Eventually, the legend was proven to be true when researchers found artifacts and ruins in 2001. The site had been covered by an inland lagoon for ages before it finally revealed itself. Various dating techniques were used to determine this city went underwater in 373 BC.

Statue Of Jesus, Lake Michigan

Lake Michigan holds a lot of eerie things. Sitting on the bottom of this lake is an 11-foot white marble cross with a life-sized statue of Jesus at the moment he was crucified. The story behind this statue’s creation is very sad. A family lost their 15-year-old son in very tragic circumstances and requested the statue be crafted by an Italian artist in 1956. Unfortunately, the statue was damaged on it’s way from Italy to the US, and the family who ordered it refused to accept it in its condition. The statue was then sold to a diving team, who placed it in the lake as a memorial to lost divers.

Vintage Cars, Foss Lake

We’ve seen a lot of creepy structures on this list. Ancient civilizations have been discovered, the world’s oldest computer, trainwrecks, and even subway cars! But there was also a discovery two rusted vintage cars sitting at the bottom of Foss Lake in Oklahoma in 2013. Unfortunately, this wasn’t an art piece placed intentionally. The bodies of teenagers were found in these cars, indicating a terrible accident had occurred. The bodies were traced back to people who had gone missing in 1970, and the deaths were ruled as accidental.

Submerged Plane, Lake Norman

Back in 2013, sonar equipment detected a submerged plane sitting at the bottom of Lake Norman in North Carolina. The situation raised some red flags as there was no report of a crash in that area and, once divers went to check out the wreck, no bodies were discovered. It was later determined that a woman by the name of Barbara Anderson owned the plane. She claimed flight instructors forgot to put up the landing gear on the plane, causing it to sink. The woman had apparently been looking for the plane for quite a while and was unable to locate it.

Cone-Shaped Structure, Sea Of Galilee

A mysterious and massive cone-shaped structure was discovered sitting under the waters of the Sea of Galilee in 2013. A geological survey of the area discovered this monument, and it has baffled experts ever since. It weighs about 60,000 tons and is believed to have been built on dry land roughly 6,000 years ago during the Bronze Age. Experts have been unable to determine the structure’s original purpose, but researchers have said that it resembles early burial sites in Europe.

The Grenada Underwater Sculpture Park, Grenada

We’re presenting you with yet another series of underwater sculptures to end this list. The Grenada underwater sculpture park is filled with various statues that give off an eerie feel despite having been purposefully placed there. There’s something about seeing statues of a man sitting at a table deep underwater and covered in barnacles that strikes fear into the heart of people. What if that were a mummified person sitting there? But it’s not! Instead, it’s an impressive work of art that experienced divers can visit and swim through.
