The blue hole



There are a few things that I want to mention briefly. The first is my blog will feature some well known horror characters, haunted houses, ghosts and paranormal. Secondly, I shall include some stories about dark and dangerous places. Third I will mention poisonous and deadly lifeforms. Fourth I will mention mysteries and crime stories.

This one is about dangerous places. The Blue Hole is a sinkhole in the sea. Some are found around the word but there's a very deadly one in Egypt. Between 130 to 200 people have died at the Blue Hole, in the area of Dahab in the Red Sea. The blue hole was very popular in the 20th century for tourists. Many enthusiastic divers wanted to explore it and for decades the sinkhole grew a bad reputation for causing so many human fatalities. The blue hole is nicknamed the "diver's cemetery". 

While some have considered this place is cursed or the dwelling of a monster or sea demon. The Bedouin tribes people have been afraid of the Blue Hole and stayed away from it. They believe the Blue Hole is a portal for a sinister entity and is haunted by the spirit of a girl who took her own life. 

One of the main causes of deaths is Nitrogen narcosis, where the divers run out of gas or suffer decompression sickness. Divers are requested to dive no further than below 40 meters, but the blue hole is very deep and estimated to be 130 meters. Also the blue hole is home to many dangerous animals, including sharks, giant moray eels and lionfish. If you go to Egypt, avoid the Blue Hole underwater at the Red Sea.
