Chapter 232: The Tsar's Tomb 11
The mystery of the ghost train
In eastern Europe and Russia, one of the most peculiar mysterious phenomena is the mystery of the "ghost" train, there have been many reports about the "ghost train" in history, the grotesque "ghost train" incident has been reported many times in some Russian newspapers and media, and scientists from Moscow University have also investigated and studied the phenomenon of "ghost train". However, due to the general reluctance of the railway authorities to publicize such unexplained phenomena, there are also incidents related to the "ghost train" that go unnoticed.
In January 2009, in Ukraine, someone reported in horror: "I saw a train coming towards me, but it disappeared in an instant, what is it?" Soon, the phenomenon caught the attention of "ghost train" fans around the world. In fact, as early as 1933, the ghost train has become an unsolved case, and since then from 1951 to the present, the "ghost train" has appeared many times in Eurasia, it is elusive, can ignore the conventional laws of physics, break through time and space, quietly appear and mysteriously disappear. Some people say that the people who sit on this ghost train are more than lucky. It's not, it's real......
One of them is the disappearance of the train in connection with the missing skull of the famous Russian writer Gogol, who was once called the "Dickens of Russia" by many. Gogol died in 1852. In 1931, Gogol's cemetery was moved to the Danilov Cemetery in Moscow, which later became a prison for juvenile offenders, and when his body was exhumed, it was discovered that his head was missing. After many twists and turns, Gogol's relative, a naval officer, Janowski, obtained the skull and brought it back to Italy, where he was stationed. Shortly thereafter, Janoski took the skull box to an Italian officer to a Russian lawyer.
In the spring of 1933, the Italian officer set off on a long journey with Gogol's skull box, and his younger brother boarded the train with several friends and began a happy journey. When the train enters a long tunnel, the officer's younger brother tries to scare his friends by playing a joke on them, and he secretly uses Gogol's skull box as a prop for his prank. But just before the train entered the tunnel, the passenger on the train suddenly panicked for no apparent reason, and the student immediately decided to jump off the pedal outside the train car door. He later told reporters that a strange, sticky white mist had engulfed the unfortunate train entirely, and he described the indescribable fear and panic of the passengers, who he admitted had stolen from his brother and that only two of the train's 106 passengers had survived by jumping off the train before it inexplicably disappeared. Local authorities carefully inspected and searched the tunnel afterwards, but they found no trace of soot left by the train, and the entrance to the tunnel that engulfed the train was sealed, which was destroyed by a bomb during the Second World War. It was later confirmed that the train had indeed disappeared in 1933. It was a three-car train chartered by a tourist from an Italian company, and a model of the train is said to be preserved in the Railway Museum in Milan. Investigators tried to find out what caused the train to go missing, but nothing came of it.
When the "Gogol Ghost Train" reappeared in Poltava in 1991, it received newspaper media attention, and two Ukrainian newspapers published the incident. A railway employee working at the railway crossing determined that the day the train appeared was September 25, 1991, and on that day, a scientist from the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in Kyiv who studies paranormal phenomena waited at the fork in the road, waiting for the "ghost" train to reappear. When it came out of nowhere again, he jumped into the last carriage under the watchful eyes of several witnesses, and the train quickly disappeared, along with the scientist who wanted to solve the mystery of the mysterious "ghost" train, and was never heard from again. According to newspaper reports, the "ghost" train appeared at this fork in the road more than once after the disappearance of the scientist, but no one dared to jump on this ghostly train again. The newspaper also reported on the appearance of the "ghost" train on the Crimean peninsula in 1955, where the train passed through an old embankment. Oddly enough, the railroad tracks there have long been demolished. According to newspaper reports, the "ghost" train appeared at this fork in the road more than once after the disappearance of the scientist, but no one dared to jump on this ghostly train again. The newspaper also reported on the appearance of the "ghost" train in the Crimean peninsula in 1955, where the train passed through an old embankment, where, oddly enough, the tracks had long since been removed.
On January 17, 2009, Schuster, a police officer in Poltava, Ukraine, drove after a thief car, and when he rushed to a fork in the railroad with a flat tire, Schuster immediately got out of the car and approached the car thief, but at this moment, a train whistle suddenly sounded, and a train appeared on the track less than ten meters away from the car thief, rushing towards the car stuck on the track. Schuster and the car thief were dumbfounded: where did this train come from? It's so short that it only has three cars, like an antique train that has been used to make up the numbers. It's so old that it's a steam locomotive that has long been obsolete, swaying and smashing off the high-end cars on the tracks at a speed similar to that of a bicycle. The car thief took the opportunity to climb onto the train and get into the second carriage. When Schuster chased after him, the car thief waved triumphantly at him. At this time, a middle-aged woman appeared in one of the windows of the third carriage, wearing an old-fashioned floral dress, looking out of the window blankly.
Just as Schuster was briskly running to the back of the train to get on the train, "Don't get in!" A scream made Shuster shudder, and when he turned around, he saw a railroad worker waving not far away, looking anxious. When he turned around, he gasped even more: the environment around the train rippled like pebbles thrown into a pond, the air distorted as if it could be seen with the naked eye, and the train was gone. Bolt, the old railroadman, said with a look of horror: "You are so lucky! If you get on that train, you'll never get off again. That's the 'Gogol Ghost Train'! The people on the URO Russian Railways refer to the "ghost train" as URO, which means "unidentified object on the railway." According to rumors, URO has repeatedly appeared in the Moscow region and in Moscow City, in 1975, 1981, 1986, 1992, and in 2009.
Ivan Patsey, a physicist and mathematician and lecturer at Moscow University, is the leader of a group of scientists interested in ghost trains, including railway specialists, philosophers, and scientists of other specialties, who have conducted several field studies at train crossings in areas where "ghost" trains have appeared. Patse's theory is that the rail network that crisscrosses Eurasia is the largest global project built by humans on the planet, and that this vast rail network could have an impact on the passage of time.
Patser argues that any change in space that reaches a considerable degree will cause instantaneous anomalies, and that time and space with electromagnetic properties are inseparable, and there is a connection between them. Patsey's theory is that time is also conserved and that time that has passed does not disappear. There are two unsolved mysteries about the "ghost train", that is, why does the train keep moving forward without stopping, and why no one on the train gets off? There are many supernatural events of the "ghost train", and there are many witnesses, this mysterious phenomenon has aroused great interest, and scientists have tried to explain this mystery with various theories, but the sudden appearance and mysterious disappearance of the "ghost" train is still a difficult mystery to this day.
