Extra-book (Strange Tales)

The supernatural is a human interpretation of the unknown. Just as thousands of years ago, when people couldn't know what was going on with a cold, they went to God and worship God, so people's exploration of the supernatural is also to find a new theory to temporarily replace the unexplained aspects of science; In the new century, people not only use the supernatural as one of the above explanations, but also some people pursue the supernatural in search of sensory or psychological stimulation.

Of course, we don't want to see some immature teenagers pursuing the supernatural excessively and falling into discordant supernatural beings, and scientific exploration is still the solution.

Spirits but don't be overly obsessed with the supernatural, which refers to the soul as a "ghost". A psychic medium is a person who has the ability to summon the undead, also known as a psychic person.

The medium summons the spirits of the deceased into their bodies, so that the spirits of the deceased, such as good spirits and evil spirits, follow behind the deceased, affecting the person's life. Psionically they are collectively referred to as "spirits behind the scenes".

Paranormal events refer to all kinds of unnatural, unexplained strange things like "ghosts".

In life, there have been many supernatural events known as shijie, but in order to prove that his ability is strong, the "supernatural" will obviously not let go of any opportunity to show himself. Even in the virtual shijie, supernatural events are being staged one after another.

However, psychologists have confirmed that most of the paranormal events occur in small spaces, in which the air flow through the human body is very rapid, and most of those who find the so-called supernatural creatures have psychological "hints" due to their understanding of past history.

Hampton Court Palace has always had a "haunted" tradition. by psychologist Richard at the University of Hertfordshire? A team of researchers led by Dr. Wiseman investigated the "haunting" of Hampton Court Palace in 2000. Psychologists have found that people who report seeing ghosts or feeling ghosts are saying what they have experienced, but these can be explained by natural phenomena. Cold drafts, dim or fluctuating lighting, KB claustrophobia, and magnetic fields can all create a feeling of unease. Some people will interpret this feeling as a ghost.

Because such environmental factors constantly affect the same area, these areas quickly gain a reputation as "haunted". There are also many things on shijie that cannot be explained by science.

For example, there is a "charming lake" in the primeval forest of Gaoligong Mountain in Yunnan, where it will rain when people talk loudly on the shore, and the louder the sound, the heavier the rain; Chen Jun, the longest-lived person recorded in Fujian, was born in 881 and died in 1324 at the age of 443; Year 1626. The city of Beijing was razed to the ground by an unexplained explosion, killing and injuring countless people, and the mystery remained unsolved for hundreds of years; Year 1782. A boatman in Nanpi County, Hebei Province, was carried into the sky by 2 unknown men and woke up 70 miles away, there are many cases similar to Huang Yanqiu; 1872, during the Qing Dynasty. A zombie attack occurred in Guangxi. more than 20 villagers were killed and wounded; In 1907, a foreigner discovered a savage in Zungar, and then Russia sent experts to China to investigate; In 1910, British explorers went to the jungle of China and Burma to explore, and saw the body of an old monk sitting cross-legged slowly rising into the air, floating in a circle over the jungle, and then slowly falling to the ground; In 1921, eight 3-meter-tall prehistoric human skeletons were found in Xicheng, Beijing; 1933 year. A French research ship found a small island in the South China Sea that it had never seen before, and disappeared half a month later. Rediscovered 3 months later 50 km away; In 1934, after a torrential rainstorm in Yingkou, the villagers found the body of a dragon in the reed pond with two horns growing on its head. In 1936, a giant snake was discovered in Sheyang, Jiangsu, with a letter 2 meters long, with its head higher than a telephone pole and a head thicker than a large water tank. In 1937, the monk Yankong stopped the believers from making noise for fear of alarming Sanxiao Niangniang, but the believers did not listen, and a huge flame suddenly exploded from the cave, killing 72 people on the spot. In December 1937, in the Battle of Nanjing, more than 2,000 people of the Sichuan Army were lost in the Qinglongshan area southeast of Nanjing; In 1938, hundreds of stone butterflies were discovered in Qinghai, and after testing, it was found to be 12,000 years old, which was later called the Duliba stone butterfly.

Whether in the heavens, on the earth, or in the water, there are gods, and everything in the world obeys these gods. In the course of human development, people constantly fantasized about being able to control and influence objective things and some natural phenomena, so there were rituals and witchcraft activities, and wizards also appeared. However, as time passed, we knew almost nothing about the various circumstances of shamans, such as names, lineages, costumes, ritual weapons, altars, incantations, witchcraft, divination, etc. Perhaps in some remote place, some of the faces of wizards that are closer to primitive religion have been retained, waiting for us to investigate further. And divination, fortune-telling and channeling, most people dare not play, after playing for fear of their own unexpected supernatural events, they sometimes make people convinced, because many of the things he hints at are consistent with reality, people don't know whether to believe in divination, or science.

Intuition, whether we call it intuition or the "sixth sense" or whatever, we have all experienced intuition at one or two intervals. Of course, intuition is often wrong, but they sometimes seem right. Psychologists point out that people subconsciously take information from the shijie around us, making it seem that we can perceive or know some information without knowing much about how or why we know it. But intuitive cases are hard to prove, and psychology is only part of the answer.

Déjà vu, after experiencing a scene, people will suddenly feel that they have experienced the same scene in a certain place and a certain time period, and they are deeply impressed; Or even if it's the first time you've been to a place, you feel as if you've already been there, and you feel very familiar, etc., which is a psychological phenomenon that many people encounter. People have given different interpretations: some say it's a reappearance of a dream, while others say it's a so-called 'sixth sense'. There is also an explanation given by the scientific community that there is a temporary inconsistency between the speed of the part of the human brain that is responsible for controlling emotions and the part that controls logic, and that the part that controls emotions is faster than the part that controls logic. Although there are a lot of explanations. But the cause and nature of this phenomenon remain a mystery to this day.

Let's talk about the top 10 examples of supernatural spirits:

No. 10: The "tears" of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem reveal the premonition of the future

In July 2002, the holy city of Jerusalem in Israel had a very unusual vision, when a stone from the famous Wailing Wall was stained with tears. Rabbis say some pilgrims found water dripping from the stones of the Wailing Wall. The droplets of water flowing from the Wailing Wall have so far soaked the 10 cm by 40 cm wall. The droplets were emanated from a stone in the middle of the right side of the Wailing Wall Men's Pilgrimage area. Its location is close to the dividing line of the Ladies pilgrimage area. The droplets of water from the Wailing Wall continued to flow, known to the Administrators of the Temple Mount, and that the drops may have flowed from a pipe installed by the Administrators. However, some experts point out that if it is a normal drip, it will not be evaporated, and it will not spread, which is really a mystery! Some of the mystical sects of Judaism even refer to prophesies in their texts. If the crying wall sheds tears, it is a harbinger of the end of Shijie. A team of archaeologists investigated the situation and said, "It doesn't look like a water trail. It appears to be the secretion of the plant". However, there is no explanation for why there are no traces of water on the stone walls of other plants in the same way, nor do they know why the water traces do not evaporate and remain rectangular, etc., experts have no answer!

Ninth place: The curse of Genghis Khan's tomb appears

Legend has it that a curse that has been protecting Genghis Khan's tomb from discovery for nearly 800 years was in August 2002 when an American archaeological team claimed to have found Genghis Khan's tomb.

In June 2002, a U.S. historical and geoarchaeological team obtained permission from the Outer Mongolian government to excavate what they believed might be Genghis Khan's tomb, 200 miles north of the Mongolian capital, Ulaanbaatar. However, the archaeological team, which consisted of University of Chicago historian Woods and gold trader Kraviz, abruptly decided to abandon the excavation after a series of unfortunate events. The archaeological expedition found that the site of the tomb was protected by a 2-mile-long wall from which many poisonous snakes suddenly emerged. Some of the staff of the archaeological team were bitten by snakes. In addition, their vehicle parked on the side of the mountain slipped down the hillside for no apparent reason. Afterwards. A former prime minister of Outer Mongolia blamed the excavation of the archaeological team for disturbing the Mongols' ancestors and desecrating their holy resting place. After this series of blows, the archaeological team decided to immediately stop the excavation. It is said that before his death in 1227, Genghis Khan ordered that no one should know where his tomb was. There is a legend that thousands of soldiers were killed after the tomb was completed to prevent them from divulging the location of the tomb; Another 800 soldiers were slaughtered on their return to Mongolia, and thousands of horses were then driven away, completely flattening the graveyard's tracks.

According to the report, Diana's rival Camilla and Crown Prince Charles were staying overnight at Maye Castle in Scotland in July 2002 when they saw Princess Diana's ghost in their sleep in front of the bed, and their spirits fell into a nervous breakdown. Camilla felt deeply guilty about the harm caused to Princess Diana because of her affair with Charles, and cried uncontrollably and begged Princess Diana for forgiveness. In addition, Diana has been rumored to haunt her haunting the ghost of her childhood home and incense mound, the mansion of the Spencer Stuart family fiefdom, and the cemetery by the nearby lake. Many visitors claim to have seen her apparitions in various places such as on the lake, and some have even seen her standing by the lake, crying and talking, as if she still has something on her mind. Fox, a spokesman for Princess Diana's younger brother, Earl Spencer Stinger, admitted: "People are witnessing strange things happening in the Olthorp fiefdom. "It is reported that the island where Concubine Dai's incense mound is located was one of Concubine Dai's favorite places during her lifetime. The staff member said that he had also seen the ghost of Dai Fei, and that Dai seemed to want to talk to him. "She was standing by the lake and crying," he said. She was talking, trying to tell me something, but I couldn't understand what she meant. I think she's very unhappy because she still has a lot on her mind. ”

Mr. Dong, who runs a rental telescope at the top of the mountain, said that the "water monster" was out of the water on the North Korean side, about 100 meters from the shore. I saw it leap up and down, like a seal playing in the water. The first impression is that the fish is leaping. From the telescope, it looks black and not very big. I couldn't see what it was, some said it looked like a dinosaur, some said it looked like a big iron pot, some said it looked like a buffalo, but it was definitely not a fish. It swam in the water for more than ten minutes before disappearing. The one or two hundred tourists who were on the mountain at that time also saw it. For nearly 100 years, the "water monster" has been a mystery in this mountain lake. However, from the detailed records of local documents at the beginning of the last century to the dozens of sightings of thousands of people in recent decades, the existence of "water monsters" in Tianchi has become an undeniable fact.

In July 2002, members of the Preparatory Committee of the Chinese Society of Underwater Archaeology discovered the remains of an underwater ancient stone wall in the waters near Dongji Island in Penghu, which became the most high-profile suspected ancient stone wall site near the waters of Taiwan after the Hujing Sinking City. The age of this underwater stone wall, which is suspected to be a man-made structure, the original shape and function of the overall building are unknown, and whether it is a man-made structure or a natural product of the sea is still a mystery. After the discovery of the stone wall, some speculated that it was 6,000 years ago, and some speculated that it was 10,000 years ago. These archaeological problems need to be further studied and judged by the academic community, especially the archaeological site experts. This stone wall, which is suspected to be made of artificial structure, is on the northwest side of Dongjiyu Island, with a water depth of between 25 and 30 meters. The average height of the stone wall is about 1 meter, the width is about 50 centimeters, and the length is about 100 meters. According to sonar scans, there are about four to five identical walls. Divers explored the site and found that the small hollows in the wall were also mixed with small pebbles. Divers have found this result, and some experts speculate that it is an artificial stone wall, or it may be part of an ancient city wall. In particular, the first sunken city site in the waters near Taiwan, the Hujing sunken city discovered in 1976, is only about 100 miles away from this new underwater discovery, and the connection between the two ruins is reverie. It has been speculated that the age of the sinking of Hujing may be 7,000 to 10,000 years ago.

Third place: The British Ministry of Defense has made public the UFO archives

The Department of Defense archives will make public information on UFOs, including the Lundelsham Archive, which was the case between the Department of Defense and the public about the discovery of a mysterious flash near Suffolk Air Force Base in December 1980. "There is no evidence that these unidentified flashes pose a threat to British defences, and the Ministry of Defence has not conducted further investigations," an internal Ministry of Defence reportedly wrote. Defense Department officials said they didn't find anything on radar that night, and they thought the flashes were because the pilots had mistaken the lights from a nearby lighthouse or seen a meteor. But letters of inquiry from the public and members of Parliament flew in like snowflakes.

Second place: The mystery of the American "Bigfoot" is accused of being a hoax

After the famous "Bigfoot" in the United States was first reported by the media in 1958, it set off a "Bigfoot" craze in the United States.

According to Willes' family, at that time, Willes asked a friend to carve a model of Big Wooden Feet, and together with his brother Wilbur, he wore "Big Feet" to make those footprints, thus creating a homegrown version of the "terrible monster" for Americans who were fascinated by the "Himalayan Yeti." Later, the film clip of "Bigfoot" walking into the forest, not to mention that his wife put on an orangutan fur suit and pretended to be, but did not take out an orangutan suit to testify, and then pointed out that many people had found "Bigfoot" before him, and the incident caused controversy among all parties.

No. 1: China Airlines' bizarre incident never stopped from May to December 2002

Taiwan's China Airlines civil aircraft crashed into the waters of Penghu in May 2002, more than 200 people died, and then a "voice message of the victims of China Airlines CI611" was circulated on the Internet, in which low cries and intermittent waves were heard, and many people who heard it said: "It's terrible!" Mr. Zhang, who sent the letter out, said that it was only passed on to two people at first, but he did not expect it to spread all over Taiwan. In order to find out the source of the messager, Mr. Zhang once turned to "Far EasTone telecommunications company", but could not find the answer. For the sake of prudence, he also went to the Pingtung City Police Station to report the case, but unfortunately the police could not help much. The message begins with a message in the mailbox: "Delivered, Thursday, 5:21", followed by a 10-second cry that sounds like a man, but the words are inarticulate, and only a series of "woo woo" can be heard, followed by 10 seconds of crying. Zuihou continued in a very indistinct male voice for ten seconds, hearing "Don't, I don't want to die, don't die here". When the minute is up, the voice is automatically cut off. The recording took place on May 30, 2002, the day before the first seven days of the China Airlines victims. Later, it was discovered that China Airlines had transported the deceased of the Qiandao Lake incident back to Taiwan, and the plane crashed into Nagoya, and then China Airlines sent another plane to transport the body back to Taiwan, and that plane was China Airlines CI611! On 22 December 2002, a French ATR72 propeller cargo plane of Taiwan Renaissance Airlines crashed at 1:56 a.m. in the sea southwest of Penghu while en route to Macao, carrying seven tons of general cargo and two captains and co-pilots. The wrecked cargo plane was responsible for carrying the remains of more than 200 victims back to Taipei in the China Airlines crash in May 2002! The event was too coincidental! The crash site is only about 10 miles away from the crash of Taiwan's China Airlines passenger plane in May. Some Taiwanese media reported that nearly 100 silly twilight in the southwest of Penghu? In the past 35 years, there have been 10 air disasters in the waters of Penghu, and 5 planes have crashed in the past 16 years, which is known as "Penghu Bermuda". (To be continued......)
