People sometimes believe in strange things. Some people believed that the Maya predicted the
have been
end of the world in 2012. They musi”be surprised when the world did not end. In fact, the Maya
never made such a prediction. Other people used to believe in the existence of the Loch Ness
Monster. They may have saw a photo once of an odd creature in the water. The picture, taken many
years ago, looked real, so they thought the monster must existed. But there must not be another
explanation. In fact, the Scottish doctor who took the famous photo of the creature said that it
wasn't a monster. It was just an animal he didn’t recognize. Now some people have a new theory:
the Loch Ness Monster may have die because of global warming!
Some people also believe in crop circles. They think the circles may contain messages from aliens.
The circles first appeared in England in the 1970s. In 1991, two Englishmen announced that they had
made some of the circles. However, that announcement didn’t stop people from believing that aliens
had made them. The believers say that the men maybe have made the crop circles in England, but they
could not made all the other circles in Europe, Australia, North America, and Japan.
So, the mystery is not why strange events happen. The mystery is really why people believe that
such events happen, even when there is evidence that they didn't.
