Since January 24, 2004, mysterious things that are said to have happened from this place have been reported:
- Fuse boxes and household appliances go up in flames even though the power is off.
- Remote controls for car doors change their radio code by themselves.
- A chair went up in flames.
- A rail barrier on the Messina-Palermo line no longer reacts. Therefore the crossing was closed.
Scientists from the national research institute CNR are investigating the incidents, and they have recently been supported by physicists from NASA . At present (November 2007) it is assumed that the phenomena are caused by electromagnetic emissions, which only become active at certain moments; However, there are no more detailed explanations yet.
