Is there really a ghost in this world?

Do ghosts exist? British scientists give the answer [reprint]

Xinhua News: The British "Times" reported a few days ago that according to a large-scale scientific investigation of supernatural phenomena by British scientists, there are no ghosts and supernatural phenomena in the world, but they are not all imaginary, but caused by the environment.

According to the study of the two most haunted places in Britain, those creepy "haunted houses" are often worthy of the name; But it is not so much ghost activity as airflow and lighting equipment. Psychologists have found that those who report seeing or feeling ghosts are talking about their personal feelings, but these can be explained by natural phenomena. Cold air currents, dim or variable lights, claustrophobia and magnetic fields can all cause uneasy feelings, and some people will interpret them as ghosts. As this environmental factor constantly affects the same area, these areas will soon get the reputation of being haunted.

The research team led by richard wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire investigated the anomalies of Hampton Palace and Edinburgh South Bridge Dome in southwest London. It is said that catherine howard, who was beheaded in 1542, was haunted in Hampton Palace, which once belonged to Henry VIII. The Nanqiao Dome, built in the late18th century, has a boy who tugs at other people's clothes, and a "Mr. Boots" who can push people and say some dirty words in people's ears.

The findings of Wiseman's team were published in the British Journal of Psychology. Dr. Wiseman said that no authoritative scientific magazine had ever published an article investigating ghosts before. He said: "This is the first time that someone has proposed and proved with evidence that such things are caused by the environment." At Hampton Palace, a janitor pointed out the places where supernatural phenomena often occur. Dr Wiseman's team asked 462 tourists to walk around and then reported whether they had seen or experienced anything unusual. To scientists' great surprise, there is a strong correlation between the "haunted" places pointed out by the janitor and the areas where people report finding strange phenomena.

These "haunted" places are often located at the mouth where the airflow passes or where the local magnetic field becomes obvious. "It seems that Hampton Palace is really haunted," said Dr Wiseman. "People who walk in do have a feeling of seeing a ghost. However, the real reason for this phenomenon is to follow the laws of nature. People don't encounter ghosts, they just interpret what they feel as ghosts. "

In Edinburgh, a tour guide selected 10 domes, and arranged them according to the rumors of supernatural activities in the past, according to the severity of haunted. More than 200 volunteers stayed in the randomly selected dome for 10 minutes, and then reported the anomalies they saw. This time, the places where people report ghosts, ghosts and strange feelings are consistent with the "haunted order". In this regard, environmental clues also play a role. The magnetic field has nothing to do with the haunted order, but the lighting condition, airflow and dome height are closely related to the haunted order. The most haunted dome is the narrowest and smallest, with a bright corridor outside.

Dr. Wiseman said that this study shows that the best explanation for things like ghosts is that they are the brain's explanation of real phenomena. He said: "creepy stairs, narrow and dark rooms ... these environments often remind us of ghosts." In addition, evolution may make people afraid of strange places. Another natural phenomenon related to trouble is low-frequency sound waves, called infrasound. Its vibration sounds like a buzzing sound, which makes people feel uneasy and makes the flame shake. Scientists at Coventry University have found that there are often a lot of infrasound in haunted places.

The so-called "ghost" is the illusion we see formed by complex chemical or physical changes, which is caused by our psychological problems or some diseases in the brain. But both cases are very rare.

Finally, I want to say that if there are ghosts in the world, we should be happy, because if someone really dies and becomes a ghost, we may become a ghost when we die. How cool it is to float in the sky! We can go to some places we haven't been to, enjoy the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, frighten the enemy, or peek at girls taking a bath. (Hehe ~ ~ I'm not such a ghost) So it doesn't matter whether there is a ghost or not! The important thing is that we still live in this world, and we should live a better life!

If you are still afraid, I want you to think of something exciting or important when you are afraid. For example, thinking about your lover, the person you like, your first love, lovelorn love, your wishes, your ideals, what you can do when you grow up, what kind of business you can do, etc., can distract your attention and make you stop thinking about things that don't exist.

But it's a pity for me. Why are there no ghosts in this world?
