Was the American President frightened by the Tennessee incident?
In the United States, there are many rumors about terrifying supernatural events, but most of them are just rumors. However, the Tennessee incident is different because it is the only officially recognized case in American history where a ghost caused someone's death. A ghost haunting that has been acknowledged by the rigorous American legal system, the Tennessee incident is worth exploring regardless of its authenticity.
In theory, the Tennessee incident in the United States should be real, because it is the only officially recognized case in American history where a ghost caused someone's death, and there are already over 20 books dedicated to describing this incident. However, in today's era of scientific education, it is difficult to be convinced by the Tennessee incident, and the fact that it occurred in 1817 makes it somewhat distant. Therefore, the answer is that it's hard to distinguish whether it's true or false. The specific details of the incident are as follows, and everyone can feel it for themselves.
On a day in 1817, an evil spirit descended upon a small town called Adams in Red River, Tennessee, in the United States. The protagonist of the incident was a farmer named John Bell. One day, while he was in his cornfield, he saw a strangely shaped dog and shot at it, but when he went to pick up the dog, he found nothing there. Several days later, Bell saw a strange bird perched high up in an oak tree and shot at it again, but when his two sons ran to the tree, they found nothing there as well.
One night, the Bell family's house became the source of noise: knocking on windows, scratching at doors, footsteps on the floor, and even the bedposts showed signs of being gnawed by mice. Later on, John Bell's young daughter, Betsy, was suddenly attacked by an unknown force in her bedroom. She was lifted into the air by an invisible force, her hair being pulled, and she screamed in agony. Seeing his daughter in such a terrible state, Bell and his wife were helpless to do anything.
The haunting of the Bell family drew public attention. Exorcists and spiritualists from Tennessee and neighboring Kentucky flocked to the town of Adams. Even the future President of the United States, then General Andrew Jackson (the 7th US President, while Trump was the 45th President), came to the Bell house, but he was reportedly chased out of the house by the evil spirit, running and crawling for his life.
As the investigation deepened, the source of the haunting in the Bell home was traced to their neighbor, a reputed witch named Kate Batts. Bell had a falling out with Batts over some business matters, and the witch cursed John and his family as a result. While Bell did not suffer the same torment as his daughter, his previously healthy body deteriorated rapidly after being attacked by the malevolent spirit, and he passed away four years later.
After the Tennessee event, the town of Adams quickly returned to calm until 135 years later when the evil spirit returned and never left, even attacking many tourists who came here. However, what the editor wants to say is that it was difficult to distinguish the truth of the past Tennessee event, but nowadays, the haunting here is basically just a publicity stunt to attract tourists!
The prototype of the movie "The Conjuring": The Enfield Haunting.
The Enfield haunting, the most famous haunting event in 20th century Britain, is about a single mother and her four children moving into a house in the town of Enfield, where a series of unexplainable phenomena occurred. The American horror movie "The Conjuring" was adapted from the Enfield haunting, which makes it difficult to distinguish whether the event is true or false.
In 1977, Peggy Hodgson, a single mother, moved into a house at 284 Green Street in the town of Enfield (near London) with her four children: 12-year-old Margaret, 11-year-old Janet, 10-year-old Johnny, and 7-year-old Billy. After moving into the house, unexplainable phenomena began to occur, such as loud knocking sounds on the walls, furniture moving by itself, and mysterious stones appearing in the house. It was very eerie.
At the beginning, although Peggy and her family were terrified, they were able to endure it. However, on August 30, 1977, they broke down! One night, while Peggy was putting her youngest son to bed, Janet suddenly screamed upstairs, claiming that her brother's bed was moving. Peggy didn't see it, so she thought it was Janet's prank and scolded her. But when Peggy went downstairs, she heard furniture moving upstairs again. Angry, she ran upstairs, only to find Janet and her brother trembling together, and the cabinet beside the bed was shaking uncontrollably.
Peggy was instantly stunned, and the terrified family ran out crying and screaming. With the help of their neighbors, they called the police, and the police arrived soon after. However, according to available information, the first group of police officers who arrived on the scene also witnessed some strange things with their own eyes. Female police officer Caroline Sims, who was sent to investigate, reported that she witnessed an armchair fly up and move to the other end of the room without any external force.
The arrival of the police was of no help to the haunted house. Afterward, the haunting phenomenon in the house became more and more intense, even developing to the point where Janet was "possessed" and claimed to be the true owner of the house, named Bill Wilkins. According to the recorded evidence left at the time, Janet described "Bill's" death experience in a creepy, elderly male voice: "Before I died, I couldn't see, and then I started bleeding, and then I went into a coma, and then I was in a chair in the corner downstairs."
After the haunting of Enfield was made public by the media, someone called the newspaper claiming that their father was a previous owner of the house, indeed named Bill, and did die of a sudden illness while living there. The Daily Mail's coverage of the family's ordeal generated a great deal of attention. After being possessed, Janet underwent a variety of medical tests for a month and a half, all of which proved that she was no different from an ordinary person.
Later, researchers installed cameras in the house and captured some controversial footage. On December 15, 1977, the strange phenomena in the house reached a climax. On that day, researchers had already moved all the furniture out of the house. However, in the evening, after a loud noise, the people who rushed into the house found that the fireplace embedded in the wall had been completely dragged out.
Throughout the whole event, we can find a lot of "first-hand evidence" from the parties involved, investigators, police, neighbors, and passersby, all of which suggest that the haunting is real; but the editor still believes that the entire event is a hoax, with the purpose of attracting public attention and media coverage for profit. It is understood that Janet, as an adult, admitted in an interview with the Daily Mail that she had fabricated a small part of the events. However, whether the whole event is true or false depends on how people interpret it.
The authenticity of the Enfield haunting is now unclear, but its influence is significant. The well-known American horror film "The Conjuring 2" is based on it. The movie tells the story of the Perron family moving into their dream home in Rhode Island in 1971. The house is located in a picturesque countryside setting, but a series of terrifying events occur one after another. Ten years later, everyone becomes restless and they ultimately decide to leave Rhode Island.
Is the truth behind the Sewol ferry incident a maritime burial? Did the officials' obstruction of the rescue efforts lead to the sinking of the ship and the death of 300 people?
Although disasters are something that none of us want to see, they are accidents that cannot be completely avoided. Especially when it comes to accidents and disasters involving students, it is even more heartbreaking. This is the case with the Sewol ferry disaster in South Korea. This incident ultimately led to the death of 296 people, and some even believe that it was a man-made disaster. Let's take a closer look at the truth below.
The Sewol ferry incident can be said to be one of the most significant accidents in South Korea. The incident occurred on April 16, 2014, when the Sewol ferry was carrying a total of 476 people departing from Incheon Port in South Korea. However, the Sewol ferry unexpectedly sank in the sea after departure, and the accident ultimately resulted in 296 deaths, 142 injuries, and eight people missing.
The sinking of the Sewol ferry initially appeared to be an accident, but the incident had many suspicious points. First of all, the ship had 44 life rafts, but only two of them could be inflated and floated. None of the other life rafts were able to be used, even though they should have been inspected and deemed qualified. Furthermore, it was a foggy day, and generally ships would not choose to sail under such conditions, but only the Sewol ferry departed on that day.
Furthermore, before the Sewol ferry departed, the captain on board was replaced at the last minute. What is even more eerie is that the day the Sewol ferry sank was exactly March 21, 1994, on the lunar calendar, which was the day of the death of former South Korean President Park Geun-hye's father. Park Geun-hye had a significant relationship with a South Korean cult, and the government intentionally delayed the rescue efforts during the critical time. Therefore, many people believe that this incident was a man-made cult ritual, and the sacrificed students were possibly "offerings".
This is not just a simple speculation or guesswork by the public. In fact, from many perspectives, it seems like a poisonous hand from the South Korean government collaborating with some kind of power, because at that time, the official search and rescue teams remained indifferent and even prevented civilian search and rescue efforts. It was not until the fourth day after the incident that civilian ships were successfully involved in the search and rescue, but by then the critical time had completely passed.
Moreover, there were still students who sent text messages for help during the sinking of the Sewol ferry. Survivors of the accident recalled that a poisonous gas had been released inside the cabin. Even Park Geun-hye had given a speech on this, saying that we should remember the noble sacrifice of these students. It is really difficult not to question the incident.
The Portuguese paranormal incident car accident: Is it true or false? The female ghost seeks revenge, and it's hard to tell the truth from the lies
The Portuguese paranormal event car accident occurred in 2006, involving three young Portuguese people who encountered a paranormal car accident while driving, resulting in the destruction of the car and the death of its occupants.
The incident was widely circulated on various paranormal websites in Hong Kong in 2006, sparking a series of discussions among netizens. However, there is still no consensus on whether the Portuguese paranormal event car accident is true or false. Some believe it is real, while others believe it is fake. Let's explore and find out.
I. The Portuguese paranormal event car accident Date: April 29, 2006
Location: A highway in the suburbs of Sintra, Portugal
Victims: 2 males and 1 female, all 19 years old
Incident: A traffic accident, in which a female ghost seeks revenge.
A sedan car was driving with three young people inside, and the atmosphere was lively. One of them was recording a video with a camera. After over four minutes, the car entered a remote road, and a woman in white got into the car from the side of the road. At seven minutes, the pretty face of the woman in white suddenly turned into a terrifying look with glass sticking out of it. Then the short video ended with a burst of screams and the car flipping and shaking.
After the woman in white got into the car, she looked sad and kept talking. Later, she suddenly said that she had died in a car accident in 1982. The people in the car thought she was joking and ignored her, but the girl became more and more upset. Suddenly, her face changed from a normal appearance to a terrifying one, covered in broken glass. This surprised the two men and one woman in the car, and led to the accident.
2.Is the Portuguese paranormal event car crash real or fake?
A.All the protagonists in this film are dead. The police found the DV in the crashed car and discovered this footage. Who would be so bored as to play such a prank at the cost of their own lives? Therefore, this paranormal event is true.
B.Afterward, the local police investigated a village and confirmed the existence of the girl who had already passed away for several days. The film also had a date display, so it can be confirmed that this incident is true.
C.From a normal analysis, in the seconds before the female ghost transformed, a woman can be heard screaming, and the scream came from the girl in the front passenger seat.
Only after the girl screamed did the person in the back who was filming become aware and turn the DV around. By the time the DV was turned around, the car had already hit the side of the road. Therefore, such details, which are so realistic, cannot be seen in movies according to common sense.
The video of the car accident circulated on the internet is suspected to have been edited, so many people believe that the supernatural event is fake.
In the 5 seconds before the ghost girl transforms and in the portion of the video that was cut off, the ghost girl never appears in the frame. When she appears later, she has already transformed, so it is likely that someone was doing makeup or it was a body double.
At 3 minutes and 52 seconds in the video, the rev counter in the car shows the unit of X100rpm as 0-10-20, and the video shows the meter at around 1700 rpm, indicating that the car was not driving very fast. Such a speed would not easily cause a fatal accident. However, this event occurred 15 years ago, so it is difficult to determine the truth of the matter.
There is a tomb in China that was buried with strange and sinister events, and even to this day, science cannot explain it
In China, people have always been superstitious about ghosts and gods. In traditional Chinese culture, ghosts and gods are seen as different states of being, with ghosts being phenomena that arise after the death of various creatures.
Thus, stories about eerie happenings at tombs are always abundant, and if even the tombs of common people are restless, it is natural that the tombs of emperors would be even more mysterious.
Today, we're going to talk about the tomb of the first emperor of the Han dynasty, Liu Bang. This tomb was originally built as a place to pay respects to Liu's ancestors and has some very interesting stories.
In the beginning, Liu Bang was just a small village head in Pei County. Who would have thought that such a small person could become the emperor of the Han dynasty, wielding immense power? When he was young, people didn't take him seriously and he received a lot of contempt from his fellow villagers.
But when he became successful, he naturally wanted to return to his hometown in glory, showing off in front of those who had previously looked down on him. Liu Bang, who had already become an emperor, was exactly like this. However, Liu Bang was not content with just his own glory, he also wanted his deceased ancestors to have some glory as well.
By doing this, he hoped that the spirits of his ancestors in heaven would feel proud of this upstart and that people could see Liu Bang's filial piety. But what should be given to the dead?
A magnificent tomb emerged, and thus the Han Imperial Ancestral Mausoleum was born. After four hundred years of continuous maintenance by the descendants of the Han Dynasty, the Han Imperial Ancestral Mausoleum has expanded from the tomb of Liu Qing, the great-grandfather of Liu Bang and the founder of the Liu clan, and has become a complex of tombs and exhibition halls at Feng County.
There are many supernatural legends about Liu Qing in folklore, the most classic of which are "the phoenix perching on the wutong tree" and "the ants building the tomb".
Legend has it that there was a lush wutong tree in front of Liu Qing's home. One day, during a violent storm, a phoenix flew against the wind and perched on the wutong tree in front of Liu Qing's house. People believed that Liu Qing was about to have good luck.
Soon after, Liu Qing died, and his family fell into poverty for a long time. They could not even afford a coffin, so they had to cut down the wutong tree and use it as a coffin.
During the funeral, thunder and lightning suddenly struck, and heavy rain poured down. The rain was so heavy that people could not open their eyes, so they hastily buried the coffin in the pit where the wutong tree used to stand, and then each went back home.
The next day was sunny and clear, and people came to build the tomb, but they found that the grave had already been built into a large mound by the ants. The auspicious phoenix dug the grave for Liu Qing, and the hardworking ants built the tomb for him, implying that Liu's family was blessed by heaven.
After this event, Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor and became the founding emperor of the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty.
The common people were very superstitious about these two events. Such supernatural events cannot be verified or explained by science today, but these stories are not entirely unreasonable or purely superstitious. There are still many things that science cannot explain.
Did German soldiers who sat on the Dragon Throne during the invasion of China die of an alleged curse and sudden illness?
Since ancient times, everyone has dreamed of becoming an emperor.
The emperor is the supreme ruler in the feudal society. The Dragon Throne represents the highest imperial power, and anyone who sits on the throne without authorization will be punished severely, up to the ninth generation of their family.
Therefore, only the emperor is allowed to sit on the Dragon Throne since ancient times. However, during modern times when China suffered invasions, there were soldiers who went to sit on the Dragon Throne. What happened to those who sat on the Dragon Throne in the end?
After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, cultural relic expert Zhu Jiakin found the Dragon Throne and restored it before returning it to its original place in the Forbidden City.
Although he had the opportunity to sit on the throne during the restoration process, he never dared to do so. Zhu Jiakin believed that unexpected things would happen if an ordinary person sat on the Dragon Throne.
This is not an unfounded claim, as Li Zicheng, who sat on the throne, eventually met an unknown fate after losing the war. In modern times, during the German invasion of China, a German soldier sat on the Dragon Throne, but soon after returning to Germany, he fell seriously ill and died, with the authorities revealing no details about his illness.
This inevitably led people to believe that he had fallen under the curse of the Dragon Throne.
After Waldersee led the invasion of China, he visited the Forbidden City in Beijing. Upon seeing the majestic Dragon Throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he couldn't resist the temptation to sit on it and even twisted around on it while accompanying journalists took photos of him.
After the invasion of China, the Japanese emperor invited Waldersee to visit Japan, which suggests that Waldersee was still in good health. However, upon returning to Germany, Waldersee suddenly retired and passed away four years later.
The German government claimed that he died of an illness, but they were very secretive about the details, leaving his retirement and death somewhat of a mystery.
So it triggered people's speculation about Waldersee, saying that he died because he was cursed for sitting on the dragon chair, and eventually died after suffering from the torment of the curse.
