The Bizarre, The Unusual, The Unexplained Blog

I became engaged in a fascinating conversation at a party recently.

I was discussing The Bimwah Blog, with my long time friend, John S. I explained I wanted to discuss all types of weird, bizarre and strange people, places, and things.

That’s when he brought up The Mystery Spot, in Santa Cruz, California. He explained he had been there a number of years ago, but the experience was still haunting to him.

The Mystery Spot is a small but extremly powerful area. The laws of gravity do not apply while in the spot. “For example,” he went on, “you can place a level on the ground in front of you. You know that it is level. You can see the bubble in the middle. If someone stands on one side of the level, they seem to be much taller. If you switch places, then you are much taller. Weird”

“Another thing” he continued, “is that a ball will seem to roll up hill. And in   this building things are really, really weird”.

I was beginning to think John S. was pulling my leg. After all, he has been known to make up a tall tale ot two. That’s when Rob chimed in. I knew he had lived in Santa Cruz, many years ago.

“It’s all true,” he said. “This place had an incredible energy. This may be one of the power centers of the universe. It really is an energy spot”

So I did some investigating of my own. There is indeed a Myster Spot and they have there own official Mystery Spot website. 

Here is how it is described:

“The Mystery Spot is a gravitational anomaly located in the redwood forests just outside of Santa Cruz, California. It is a circular area of effect around 150 feet or 46 meters in diameter. Within the Mystery Spot you will be stunned as your perceptions of the laws of physics and gravity are questioned. But don’t take our word for it, come and decide for yourself!”

Now I’m not saying this is real or not, but I am saying it is quite a mystery. Some people claim to be light headed, while others get headaches from being here.

I am putting this place as on my list of places to visit the next time I am near Santa Cruz.

If you have been to The Mystery Spot I would greatly appreciate your comments.

The Unusual, The Unexplained…

I have seen a blue lobster only once in my life. This was a number of years ago, at the Mystic Marine Life Aquarium.

I went back to the Aquarium recently and was shocked to discover Mystic Marine Life Aquarium has several blue lobsters. Some were of average size. One was at least 6-7 pounds.

Bluie lobsters are extremely rare. I am happy to share with you my most recent photgraph of a genuine blue lobster…

One of the people we were with wanted to know how they would taste…

I hope we never find out the answer to that question. Blue lobsters are truly some of the most unusual of all marine life.

According to Wikipedia:

“Around one in two million lobsters is blue. A research study conducted by Professor Ronald Christensen at the University of Connecticut discovered that a genetic defect causes a blue lobster to produce an excessive amount of protein. The protein, and a red caratenoid molecule known as astaxanthin, combine to form a blue complex known as crustacyanin, giving the lobster its blue color ^[2].”

 So now you know…

I know something about lobsters. I have seen many lobsters. I have eaten many lobsters.

Now anyone who knows lobsters has seen culls.
Culls are lobsters that only have one claw.

I have seen unusual lobsters. I have actually seen blue lobsters. These are rare.

The most amazing lobster I have ever seen, is the Amazing Three Clawed Lobster.

I first became aware of this lobster while eating lobsters at Abbott’s. Abbott’s is located in Noank, Connecticut. Noank is right next door to Mystic, Connecticut. It is not the easiest spot to find, but when you get there you know you are in the right place.

Abbott’s is one of my favorite places to eat lobster. Now, you will not find the cheapest lobsters, but you will find good top quality lobsters.

That is where I saw the picture of the Three Clawed Lobster. Here it is:

As you can see in the caption, all three claws were fully functioning. Everyone who easts lobster knows that the best meat is in the tail first, and then the claws. I hope nobody got to find out with this guy. He deserves his freedom.

I’m hoping that they threw this guy back to the Atlantic so he could enjoy his lobster life to the fullest.

Or maybe he was lurking somewhere way in back of the lobster tanks.

You know, lobsters claws have two distinct functions: one claw is used for crushing while the other claw is used for ripping.

I’m hoping somewhere on the bottom of the ocean is a lobster ripping away to his hearts content.

Stay well, my lobster friend.
