15 mysterious points on the world map: why is Google Maps hiding it?

Do you often use Google Maps? And you noticed that some areas on the map do not have a clear image or are generally sketched. There is no exact information about what might be there, so one can only guess.

The Internet gives a huge number of opportunities, for example, you can sit at home on the couch to inspect in detail any place on the map. And all thanks to Google Maps, which is especially popular with travelers. It is interesting that some places are closed by black figures or simply blurred. With what it is connected - it is not always clear, but we will try to find out.

1. Fuzzy Muslim shrine

On the map, the place, which is the most sacred for people professing Islam, is blurry, and it was done specially. There is a suggestion that this is a demand of Muslims or out of respect for the shrine. Many are confident that this is a commercial "chip", so that people look at the attraction not from the screen, but personally.

2. NATO's field secrets

If you view on the map Google Netherlands, you can see that the real image of one field is closed. It is believed that there is a warehouse or some military object of NATO, therefore, to preserve its secrecy, it was closed. There are also those who believe that there is something confirming the existence of UFOs.

3. Oddities of North Korea

The most closed country, in which there is a huge number of prohibitions - North Korea. Proceeding from this, it is not at all surprising that there is not a map on it either. There is an impression that instead of a real country there is an unsettled area - both a strange and frightening fact.

4. What is hidden in the Himalayas?

What can be hidden at the top of the famous mountains? At whom what assumptions? Probably the only way to find out what is hiding under the black area is to climb the mountain, well, or ask the one who was there. Many people are sure that there is something connected with a UFO or a meteor. Maybe the photo was accidentally captured something unknown and secret for the general review.

5. The prison must be classified

The structure of one of the prisons in New York is blurry and it may seem logical for security reasons. However, the general outlines of buildings are still visible, so the assumption seems pointless, and why other prisons can be well considered? Most likely, during the shooting, the shot got what should remain a secret.

6. A place with bad memories

In Google Maps, the house where a man named Ariel Castro lived, which for many years kept three women in captivity, was blurred. Captives managed to escape, and the maniac was put in prison, where he committed suicide. There are two explanations why this terrible house is blurred on the map. First, the picture was taken at a time when the captives were in the house, and secondly, at the moment the building no longer exists, because it was demolished. Most likely, the situation will change when the location is updated.

7. Ghost Island in the Pacific Ocean

Between Australia and New Caledonia is a sandy island - Sable. There are still doubts whether he really is or not. This is due to the fact that around 1770 he was discovered and mapped by James Cook, but modern researchers, no matter how hard they tried, could not confirm the existence of this piece of land. As a result, it was concluded that there is no island. November 26, 2012 from the map Google Maps mark of the island was removed.

8. The Mystery of the Garden of Gethsemane

Blurred on the map was the place where the allegedly spent the last night before the arrest of Jesus Christ. There is a version that on this territory is the grave of the Virgin. The blur of the Garden of Gethsemane may have something to do with the safety of this place, or maybe the picture contains something secret and inexplicable.

9. Test site in California

An unclear and blurred place is the Junction Ranch, and what happens here is not known to ordinary people. Most of the assumptions indicate that this territory is related to the military. For example, there is a version that the military drones are being tested here.

10. The Russian secret

There were also hidden places in the Russian Federation. In the photo you can see the forest and mountains, from which the conclusion follows that the area is deserted. Under the blurred area, most likely, there is some building, but what can be in such a wilderness is not clear.

11. The whims of the rich

The fact that rich people buy themselves islands is no longer a secret, but they can be viewed without special difficulties on Google Maps, except for some. The picture shows an island that supposedly belongs to one rich man and, apparently, he had enough money and influence to negotiate with Google about hiding the image of his possessions.

12. What kind of hotel is in a secret place?

There are many assumptions that can hide a huge black zone, and most of the issues are caused by the hotel, which is still indicated in the lower dark area. Many are confident that there is a hidden place for the rest of the rich, which should remain unknown to ordinary mortals.

13. Masking with Photoshop

At first glance it may seem that the photo is quite normal, since all the houses and streets are visible, without any painted areas. If you consider the photo more meticulously, it is clear that the image was corrected in Photoshop, and the houses were inserted over something secret. Interestingly, Google does not recognize the processing of the image and claims that it is a real image.

14. The Mysterious French Island

Photos of the island can be divided into two parts. So, on the right side you can see a beautiful sandy beach and blue water - just an ideal place to relax. What is on the left side, it is impossible to consider, because the photo is blurred. Versions, what there can be, a lot, but there is no real information, so you only have to guess.

15. Strange black stripe

Interesting, of course, the place, because you can hide under an almost perfectly flat black line. It is clear that without the versions about the aliens did not do, but there is a more realistic assumption: there is an illegal runway. Can someone have some more of their assumptions?
