It might seem unlikely, but the world's many lakes are, in fact, some of the most unusual, unexplained, and deadly natural phenomena on the planet. From unheard-of yet natural events to countless human disappearances and even bodies of water which suddenly vanish and reappear again, here are 10 of the most mysterious lakes out there.  Number 10, Dead Lake.  The name of this one alone should be enough to tell you that this lake in Kazakhstan is far from your ordinary body of water. Otherwise, known as Lake Kaindy, this 1,300 foot-long lake near the southern city of Almaty is steeped in a long history of mystery, including human deaths, most of which were unlucky tourist drownings.  The corpses which lurk beneath its depths aren't the only reason for its haunting name and reputation, though, as the waters are believed to be totally incapable of sustaining any life, from small fish to frogs and other native amphibians.
