What is your most secretive community?
This question might surprise you. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. But there is an explanation for why this place exists, and it's not what you would expect.
It was known as the City of God to the ancient Greeks. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
It is called Kashi (Kashmir in India). It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
Here in America, however, it is called The Village That Disappeared.
One small community in western New York State with 1,200 residents vanished without a trace. No bodies, cars, houses, nothing was left behind except a road sign pointing to its former location.
This tiny community disappeared without leaving any clues as to where it went or when. Some believe the earth swallowed them up. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Some claim that it was destroyed by a meteorite strike. Others still believe it was stolen away by aliens.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They had just moved to another town.
There's even a website that tracks the disappearances and recoveries of Zugspitz.
So where is this town? It's in Switzerland.
Zugspitze lies on the border between Austria and Germany. A huge lake, Lake Zugspitze, is located just beyond the summit.
It's always fascinated me how so many towns disappear, yet others remain. Why is it that some disappear while others live on? I decided that I would investigate.
I wanted to learn more about mysteriously disappearing towns. What causes a community to disappear? How can one place vanish from existence?

What is the most surprising fact about your body?
There are two eyes, two ears. Two nostrils. Four limbs. A mouth, nose and penis. We have over 50 parts of our bodies. However, one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. Blood travels through the arteries and veins, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products.
Each minute, the heart pumps approximately 5 liters. This amount is equivalent to an adult drinking 2-3 cups of coffee daily.
Blood flows throughout the heart 24 hours per day, 365 Days a Year. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
You can tell whether someone is healthy or unhealthy because of the color of their skin. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels visible on the skin's surface. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
Red blood cells are not available to sickle cell patients. Patients with sickle cell disease have their blood become sticky and harden, leading to severe illness.
You can use a bandage to stop bleeding if your cut is severe. Blood must flow in order for the wound to heal properly. Doctors will insert a needle under the skin to access the vein near the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.
A doctor can also insert tubes (catheters), into an artery in the vicinity of where blood clots form. This keeps patients alive until the clot has broken up naturally.
