In 1877, Edison invented the phonograph, and the world's first device that could record sounds from the outside world was born. Aside from phonographs, does nature have a unique way of recording sound? Sound is temporal and spatial, fleeting, and the words spoken in the last second can no longer be heard, but in 1951, such a strange thing happened, the "natural phonograph" records the sound of 9 years ago! What's going on here?
On July 26, 1951, Mrs. Norton and 4 good girlfriends went to France for a vacation, and on the 9th day of play, that is, their last day in France, the 5 people could not hide their loss at the thought of returning to London at dawn. They played until after 1 a.m. on August 4, when they gradually went to sleep. Suddenly, Mrs. Norton was awakened in her sleep, and the 2 wives in the same room woke her up in a panic, as if something big had happened.
It was then that Mrs. Norton heard a terrible sound coming from outside the window. In the time that followed, they heard gunshots, shouts, bombs, and the roar of airplanes, so vivid that they thought they had returned to the war years. However, when Mrs. Norton got up to check it out, it was pitch black outside the inn, and there was no movement.
Even more surprised by this, Mrs. Norton hurriedly picked up a pen and paper and recorded these strange sounds. It was around 4 a.m. when the sounds began to be heard, during which there were gunshots and louder and louder bombardments, as well as other shouts, gunshots, etc., and this series of sounds lasted for more than 3 hours before it ended. Scientists studied this phenomenon and found that Mrs. Norton heard the sound of fierce fighting from World War II 9 years ago. Mrs. Norton's beach inn, near the northern French town of Dieppe, was the place where the Allied landings were most intense nine years earlier in the early hours of 1942. In other words, the fierce fighting heard by the Norton ladies in the hotel room came from the Allied landing in Dieppe in 1942, 9 years ago. And all the sounds they heard in those three hours were actually a re-enactment of the battle, because their accounts at that time were almost identical to those recorded in military records.
The sound of "fierce battle" 9 years ago, 68 years ago, is still an unsolved mystery, has not been solved, how did these sounds come from? Why can't anyone else hear it, only in Mrs. Norton's room? In this regard, people have been talking about it and arguing about it, but there has been no unified and reasonable explanation, and to this day, the reason for the emergence of this voice is still the unsolved mystery of the world.
