5. The Devil’s Pool – Australia
Near Babinda, Queensland, the Devil’s Pool is a stunning but deadly natural rock pool with a horrifying legend. Indigenous Aboriginal lore tells of Oolana, a heartbroken woman who drowned herself in the pool after her forbidden love was taken from her. Ever since, her vengeful spirit has lured young men to their deaths. Over 20 people have drowned mysteriously in the pool, many of them strong swimmers. Survivors claim to have felt an invisible force dragging them under, and ghostly hands pulling at their legs. The water remains crystal-clear, but what lurks beneath is far from safe.
