The Devil's Kettle waterfall empties into a sinkhole. Nobody knows where that sinkhole leads to!
Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes. It's also home to some other bodies of water, some of them rather odd. One such odd formation is the Devil's Kettle, which stems off of the Brule River.
About 1.5 miles from the river's mouth, it split into two over a mass of rock. The eastern part flows over a 50 foot waterfall and continues on. The western flow falls 10 feet into a hole and then disappears into the ground. The source of this has yet to be found.
Some believe the water rejoins the river later or has a separate outlet to Lake Superior, but this has not been confirmed. Researchers have tried to locate the outlet by putting colored dyes and ping pong balls into the Devil's Kettle but to no avail. There is even a legend that a car disappeared into the sink hole but this is highly unlikely.

Tales From the Vault - England Fans Stranded In One-Way Street
Tales From the Vault - England Fans Stranded In One-Way Street
Two England football fans who travelled to Cologne, Germany, for a match in 2006 lost their car after thinking they had parked it on a road called "One Way Street". So as not to forget where they had left their vehicle, the pair looked for a street sign and wrote down "Einbahn Strasse" in the belief that it was the name of the road...blissfully unaware that it means "One-Way Street" in German. It was only when they returned to the area after the match that they discovered that every other street in the inner city had a sign saying "Einbahn Strasse". With the help of German police, they managed to track down their car several hours later.
