Few things provoke man the way mystery does. Every unknown pushes us to the search of its truth, its reason, and origin. It is in mystery (this fantastic dimension) where the most interesting fantasies, the most gruesome hypotheses take place. Sometimes we don't have to go too far to enter worlds full of enigmas.
