Hello everyone, I'm Brother Guan. Are there really ghosts in the world? Why do some people say they will bump into "ghosts"? What is the scientific basis behind this? Why do more than 18% of Americans claim to have interacted with ghosts? How is the existence of "ghosts" explained in traditional Chinese culture?
Do you believe there are ghosts?
According to statistics, about five percent of Americans believe that ghosts exist, and even about eighteen percent of people claim that they have communicated with ghosts, animals can see something that people can't see, and if one day a pet dog is barking at a corner of the room, it may be something weird. In fact, in the pre-Qin period, the ghost culture of the mainland has had a great impact on the living customs and rituals at that time, and the early ancients also believed that sun tzu was the reincarnation of the grandfather, and the earliest mythological novel "Shan Hai Jing" mentioned many stories and legends of ghosts and chaotic gods. The earliest record of ghosts is in the Neolithic Age, there are small holes in the bottom of the sarcophagus or elsewhere, which is currently believed to be the place where the ghosts of the deceased enter and exit, and can also be clearly seen in the ancient text of the word "ghost". When the child was born shortly after birth, the place of the fontanelle was very soft, and the ancients believed that the place where the fontanelle above the head was the place where the soul came in and out.
Do ghosts really exist?
We often encounter the phenomenon of "ghost press" in our lives, and "ghost press" refers to the situation that we can hear the sounds in reality, want to move and cannot move in a state of sleep, which is called a ghost press. The phenomenon of ghost presses is very common, most people will experience ghost presses at least once in their lives, and the probability of ghost presses will be higher in groups such as mentally ill people or students in stress periods. Ghost press bed refers to people in a state of half sleep and half awake, then your nerves temporarily appear paralyzed, it will take a while to return to normal, but for some people, this situation will make people panic, such as a strong feeling that there are ghosts around, even if you can't see or hear, you still feel where something is, even if you have hallucinations, you feel that there is a black shadow in the room, there may also be tactile hallucinations, someone holding or something touching themselves and so on.
At this time, it is often impossible to move, is it really hell? In fact, in medicine known as sleep paralysis phenomenon, that is, when people sleep, the muscles also belong to a dormant state, and at this time, if people are dreaming, they are in a state of nervous tension, if they can move, it is what we call sleepwalking, it is easy to hurt themselves, so when people are in deep sleep, because they are usually or recently in a tight state, the brain may have awakened, but the muscles are still in a dormant state, resulting in a feeling of wanting to move but cannot move and what to hear or see. This phenomenon generally lasts from a few seconds to a few minutes, but it will not cause any serious damage to the body, but it will only have a certain impact on the spirit, and the nervous tension caused by high pressure will be caused. So ghost presses have nothing to do with ghosts at all
Ghosts and monsters cause trouble
One day in 2009, the protagonist of the story, Kerry, and two dogs lived together in a new home in Los Angeles, but this new home is a little weird, not only because of the dilapidation of the house, but also because of the fact that someone is staring at him in the dark of the house, at first Carey always feels that it is his own delusion, may be too tired, but this situation is more and more frequent, Kerry even began to feel dizzy chest pain, suffocation, and gradually Carey began to believe that there are some invisible things in the home in addition to himself and the dog. I often hear some other sounds, and even the doors and windows are closed and you can hear the blowing sound of "exhaling". This made the newcomer Carey terrified, she told her good friend that she felt that there was something invisible in her home, And Carey told these things to her good friend to listen to and talk about her troubles, and the good friend thought of a way for her, and the most common thought was to use sage to carry out evil.
So Kerry immediately bought sage according to what her friend said, and began to perform the exorcism ceremony according to the process, throughout the process, Kerry's movements were like a godmother, both strange and crazy, she waved sage with her hands and feet, waving and saying unrelated words! After finishing, Kerry finally relaxed, thinking that this tossed for a while, is it a ghost or a monster that should have left long ago, right? But this matter is far less simple than Kerry thought, this "exorcism ceremony" did not drive away the ghost as desired, but provoked the "ghost" in general, so that after Kerry's chest more and more painful, the pain was accompanied by some strange whispers in the ear, lingering around, as if the ghost came back to retaliate, uncomfortable, but also dizzy, Kerry completely collapsed, she had to see a psychiatrist and asked to prescribe medicine to herself, wanting to comfort herself.
But what upset her was that because nothing had been detected, the doctor refused to prescribe the medicine. Kerry had no choice but to ask the public on the Internet, but the masses did not feel that there was a ghost in Kerry's home, but some people felt that she was carbon monoxide poisoning, because carbon monoxide poisoning was pressure in the chest, suffocation, hallucinations, etc., and these phenomena were exactly the same as Kerry, Kerry decided to listen to the words of netizens to try, that night called the gas company people, gas workers tested and said, because the house is old, and there is no overhaul of the pipeline, fortunately called us tonight, otherwise it will be carbon monoxide poisoning and die.
And such an oolong incident is not a case, in one of the top ten eye hospitals in the United States, William published an article in the American Eye Journal "The Effect of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning on the Eyes", which mentioned the story of a ghost house, this room is inhabited by a family of four, adults and children in the family will always have some hallucinations, when sleeping, they feel that someone is standing by the bedside, and someone in a corner of the latter is staring at themselves, and the family is deeply disturbed. Until one day, the hostess found that the plants in the house began to die inexplicably, only to find that there was a problem with the fireplace at home, other people's chimneys were straight, and their own chimneys were broken and had not been repaired, resulting in smoke not being discharged, all poured back into the house, resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning.
The ghost appears
In fact, in addition to carbon monoxide poisoning, there is also a situation that will also give us the illusion of seeing ghosts. It is infrasound, infrasound waves are also called "Hertz", human beings can hear sound waves in 20 ~ 20000 Hertz, which is harmless to the human body, but when certain frequencies resonate with human organs, there will be strong damage, and may even lead to human death. And the moment we can see the ghost, it is because the infrasound wave below 20 hertz vibrates the eyeball so that we can see things that we usually can't see, which we also call hallucinations. In fact, there are many low-hertz sounds around us, such as diesel engines, honeycomb wheels or some amplifiers. Including small animals, their senses are much more sensitive than those of humans, so animals can hear sound waves that humans can't hear, so that we feel that animals can see something.
And sometimes we look at the hanging clothes as a human shadow, or see something as a human face, and see something that is not a face as a face, which is called the illusion of facial utopianism. The first condition "face" is square and symmetrical, and the second condition is that there must be a pair of "eyes" on the face, that is, two holes or balls, but this ball is different from the other parts of the face to distinguish and symmetrical. There is a nose and a mouth, which makes up what we call a face, but whether we can see whether the "face" is also in the brain whether there is a "face template". Above the temporal cortex of the brain, there is a part called "fusiform ileophyllum area", the most important thing is to identify the human face, when the eye sees the face, the nerves of this part will become highly active, and the role of the fusiform ileophyllum area is to extract the information of the "face", and also to receive the face information imagined by the prefrontal cortex, which together becomes the face we imagine.
Well, today we will talk about this, do you think there are really "ghosts" in the world? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area, and finally like the words of the brother, don't forget to like the attention.
