In 1970, a US Athena rocket went wildly off-course and crashed here, and ever since, people have reported that radio signals, TV signals, and even short-wave frequencies simply vanish. The "Glitch": Magnetic anomalies are so high that compasses spin uncontrollably, and it's reportedly a hotspot for meteorite strikes. 2. The Kettle Falls "Devil’s Kettle" (Minnesota, USA) At Judge C.R. Magney State Park, the Brule River splits into two. The eastern half flows normally over a waterfall. The western half falls into a giant stone pothole—and simply disappears. The "Glitch": For decades, people threw logs, ping pong balls, and even dye into the hole to see where it came out.
