Eerie ‘Blood Rain’ As Beach Turns Bright Red In Biblical Scenes

[maximus otter]

The popular Silver and Red Beach on Hormuz Island saw scenes of horror, as its mineral-rich coast was soaked by heavy rainfall which caused a bizarre phenomenon.

Millions of viewers watched the Biblical scenes on “rainbow island” - a largely uninhabited and quiet island which is miles away from Iran’s mainland.

The frightening yet unique scenes are a year-round attraction at the coast, caused by the high iron oxide content in the volcanic soil.

These minerals mix with the heavy tide to give the shoreline a bright red colour, which looks as if someone has dropped a large bucket or red paint in the sea.

The rich volcanic soil is also known as “gelack” soil, and has industrial purposes, as it is used in dyeing, cosmetics, glass and ceramics.

It also plays an important role in local cuisine, with natives using it in sauces and jams.

Excellent. I have a friend who's compiling a sort of 'life imitating art' video view to the fictional Evil Dead films. So far, I've found him genuine cases of books bound in human skin, genuine medieval era metal 'robotic' hands and real examples of people's hair suddenly turning white with shock (canitise subita) so this blood red looking sea phenomena should fit in nicely in his fun video thanks.
