But no other body of water evokes wonder and mystery more than lakes. Today we will be<br />looking at 10 of the most horrifyingly mysterious lakes in the world. Make sure to watch till the end,<br />number one’s mystery is literally at biblical proportions.<br /><br />Number 10. Taal Lake<br />Also called “The Lake Within a Lake”, Taal Lake is a sight to behold. Located in Tagaytay City, Philippines,<br />it’s the area’s most famous tourist attraction, attracting millions of visitors every year, both local and<br />foreign. But why would such a picturesque natural wonder be so horrifying?
