On the Kenyan Rudolf Lake there is Envaitenet Island, which translates as "no-return" from the language of the local tribe. The island is just several kilometers wide and long. Local people do not live on the island, because they consider it a cursed place.

English explorer Vivian Fush's expedition was working in Kenya in 1935. His two colleagues - Martin Sheflis and Bill Dayson - left for the mysterious island. Fifteen days passed, but the two scientists did not return. Fush sent a rescue team to the island, but they found no trace of their friends - just a deserted aboriginal village. The island looked totally abandoned. They called out a plane to survey the island, but found nothing.
Local residents told Fush that people used to live on the island many years ago; they fished, hunted, traded with their relatives on the mainland. However, the island residents suddenly stopped coming to the mainland at all. Then several men from the waterside village came to the island to see what happened. When they reached the island, they were struck dumb: they saw a deserted village with huts full of various things, and fish was rotting near extinguished fire. Where were people? "Scouts" left the island very quickly, and decided not to try their fate. Nobody except for birds ventured to go there again.
People sometimes disappear in front of other people's eyes. On August 23 1915 near Constantinople military units witnessed apparition and disappearance of an enemy regiment in strange dense clouds. The same phenomenon occurred in October 1943. According to famous American researcher of anomalous phenomena Charles Berlitz, the US Navy performed an experiment during which a warship disappeared from the Philadelphian dock and in an instant appeared in the Norfolk-Newport dock near Portsmouth. It is several hundred miles. Then the ship disappeared again and returned to Philadelphia. The crew that was on board all the time could not help to investigate this phenomenon: half of sailors went mad, others were found dead. This mysterious event became the plot for the film called The Philadelphia Experiment. What was it – mass hallucinations or something else?
American weekly History of Scientist described an incident in Picton, Ontario, when a 13-year-old boy disappeared in his relatives and neighbours' presence on July 30 1969, but then was found on the same place several days later.
