Do me a favor and forget everything you believe in, even if you are a scientist, who operates data and has a rational way of thinking. And, guess what, all of these places are located in a single country and you can visit all of them if you want to rattle your nerves!īefore you start reading this list, I have a request for you. We have no idea about the nature or purpose of many of these places, and a good few of them are linked to old legends and myths. Some of them are believed to be haunted, and others are inhabited by aliens or representatives of a legendary race. Some of them have existed for centuries, while others came to being only several decades ago.

She is deeply interested in public outreach and education and is an advocate (in print and lectures) of the importance of science communication and the defense of basic science. She worked as a research professor at UMass Amherst before joining the faculty at Mount Holyoke College.īrennan’s research has received much media attention. Her current interests have expanded to understanding genital evolution in vertebrates, in particular examining female genital morphology and coevolution. During this time she developed an interest in post-copulatory selection in birds and went on to do her post-doctoral work on genital and sperm traits in ducks. This unexplained phenomenon was first described by the alchemist Jakob Bohme in the 16th Century as the ability to see shadowy figures out of the corner of your eye.

Brennan completed her PhD dissertation at Cornell University, where she studied the breeding biology and reproductive system of the Great Tinamou (Tinamus major), a basal bird from South America related to the ostrich. FLIMMERN-GEISTS The words Flimmern and Geist are Germanic in origin and translate as Flicker-Spirits or Flicker-Guides.

This allows for the events to take on symbolic meaning, and for the story to remain focused on the effect of the phenomena on the characters and humanity as a whole. Patricia (Patty) Brennan is interested in the morphological evolution of genital morphology in vertebrates and the mechanisms that drive genital diversification, sexual conflict in particular.
