AMONGST seeping red water said to be guarded by a Loch Ness-esque monster, one volcanic crater is believed to have become a hub for alien spacecraft.
Hidden approximately 1,640 feet away from the public, this dormant volcano in Rincón de Parangueo, near Valle de Santiago, Mexico, can only be accessed by a winding tunnel – or “alien spacecraft”, locals claim.

Visitors have to crouch through the long, powdery white stone tunnel until they pop out in the realm of suspiciously red water and “alien activity”.
Locals have claimed that this crater is one of the Seven Luminarias – seven craters supposedly lying in the same configuration as the stars of the Big Dipper.
They believe that this configuration means it is the center of the world, the birthplace of the Aztecs, and a great place to see UFOs.
Locals have also reported spotting a creature living in the crater that can only be compared to the Loch Ness Monster.
After walking through the long tunnel, visitors arrive at a large white expanse surrounded by mountains and green vegetation.
The crater holds water that can be as much as a lake or as little as a puddle, depending on the levels of rainfall.
At certain times of the year, the water can appear red in colour, standing out markedly against the crater’s white soil.
The reddish water is also explained by local legend, which suggests that the water is an omen for an impending tragedy.
According to some locals, a young boy was sent to the crater by his boss to see if the water could be used to irrigate crops.
Legend says the boy collected a sample to be tested later, but, having gotten drunk on his way back, he lost the water and gave his boss a fake sample.
When his boss discovered he had been lied to and that the water could not be used to irrigate his crops, the boy was so ashamed that he eventually committed suicide.
Allegedly, he took his life in the tunnel, and his blood eventually mixed with the water – which is why the water turns red.
While others believe that a criminal died in the tunnel after committing treason and that it was his blood that mixed with the water.
However, the phenomenon is actually caused by a lack of oxygenation in the water.
Although the red water can be explained scientifically, somewhat ironically it has been used to determine impending tragedies.
In September 2017, the volcanic crater was able to predict the earthquake that shook several locations in Mexico.
Oscar Arredondo Ramírez, an Astroarcheology expert, said that the waters in the Rincón de Parangueo volcano turned red and smelled rancid a few days before these earthquakes occurred.
Ramírez revealed that in Rincón de Parangueo, there is a micro organism in the tectonic plates days before an earthquake occurs.
He explained that this organism is what causes a reddish colour to appear in volcanic waters, and that it hints at tremors that could either be due to a volcanic eruption or an earthquake.
In recent years Mexico has been at the forefront of claims regarding paranormal activity.
2016 saw claims that at least 10 UFOs had been spotted flying over Popocatepetl volcano.
Just a year later there was a separate claim that UFOs had been spotted, this time flying over Colima volcano in the west of the country.
And last year a line-up of Mexican doctors asserted that they had found alien mummies.
