When I was a child, my grandfather had encountered " ghost hitting the wall ". Later, after hearing what happened, I was so scared that I didn't dare to walk at night.
My grandfather encountered "ghostly hitting the wall" in the early 1990s. Although I can't remember exactly which year, I clearly remember that the incident happened on the second day of the Lunar New Year. We have a custom that we have to go to my father-in-law's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and my grandfather was no exception. At that time, he rode a bicycle from Dajinde to his father-in-law, which was 5 miles away from my house. Because he was poor in the past, he only drank some drinks during the holidays, so he drank a lot of wine that night.
On the way back to my house, there was a river. Both sides of the river were woods, and there were two open spaces in the woods. It was the location of the cemetery in the village. When my grandfather walked here, he suddenly fell down unsteadily. When he got up, it was pitch black all around. After that, he began to circle around the woods.
My father saw that it was almost midnight before his grandfather came back, so he went to find him with my grandmother and followed the path to find the woods over there. At that time, my father was holding an old-fashioned flashlight. The light was not very bright, but he still found his grandfather who was still spinning by the woods. When he found his grandfather, he was almost crying and he was completely drunk.
Since then, "Ghost Blasting the Wall", a "prop" that used to appear only in the bedtime story told by grandma, has become a reality. Therefore, for a long time, as long as it is not the moon and the sky is sparse, I dare not walk alone at night.
Previously people's explanation of "ghost hitting walls" is a barrier set up by ghosts to tease people. This barrier will make people spin on the spot or lead people to nearby cemeteries, which is much more terrifying than the "ghost fire" mentioned by the old man. Obviously, "ghosts" do not exist, so is there any scientific explanation for "ghosts hitting walls"? The answer is yes. In fact, there were relevant explanations as early as the 1920s. However, the positioning system was indeed unable to be confirmed at that time. It was not until the positioning system appeared that the mystery was completely revealed.
"Ghost hits the wall" Experiment Results 1: There is a problem with human legs
"Ghost hits the wall" is not a unique phenomenon in my country. It has relevant records all over the world, but it is called differently in different countries. As early as the 1920s, scientists conducted an experiment in order to find the truth about "ghost hitting the wall". Scientists first recruited a group of volunteers, then blindfolded them and walked straight in the woods. But they found that no one could walk straight, and most people began to spin.
However, due to the lack of a positioning system, it was impossible to accurately observe everyone's movement trajectory, so this experiment was not recognized at that time.
When GPS was invented, foreign scientists conducted another experiment. This time, the experimenters blindfolded their eyes and took the GPS, and walked out of a clearing along the straight line. It turned out that most people were winding forward in a straight line, and a few experimenters were spinning, and the radius of spinning was less than 20 meters. The most important thing was to interview the experimenters after the experiment, and they all insisted that they had walked in a straight line.
So, scientists raised several possibilities: First, these experimenters may be accustomed to turning left or right, and second, the two legs of the experimenters are not the same length. However, the first possibility was quickly ruled out, because there was no obvious tendency to turn left or right in the investigation of these experimenters' natural walking trajectory. After
, scientists put 1.2 cm high height increase pads on the left and right feet of the people who turned left and right in the experiment, and conducted another experiment. They found that the steering still did not change at all. Therefore, this early "ghost wall-breaking" experiment originally ended with the conclusion that "human legs are different" and was overturned again.
"Ghost-Based Wall" Experiment 2: Final Conclusion
Since the early "Ghost-Based Wall" experiments had no results, scientists were destined to not give up easily. Although the later "Ghost-Based Wall" gradually faded out of our sight, scientists still conducted new experiments in the early 21st century, and it was this experiment that found the reason for "Ghost-Based Wall".
This time the scientists chose a group of experimenters. The difference is that this time I didn’t blindfolded, and this time I chose a German forest and Sahara Desert . The experimenters were divided into two groups to conduct the experiments at the same time.
Let’s look at the results directly. As long as the two groups of experimenters in different environments have cloudy days, the experimenters will circle around in large circles. As long as there is a sun, they can walk straight for a long distance. Through the experiment, the researchers concluded that light plays an extremely important role in humans walking straight lines. After
, the researchers chose wild ducks again. Because they had a wide range of flight vision, scientists blindfolded them and found that wild ducks also had spinning.
Through further research, scientists found that there are faint differences in the left and right vestibule of the animal brain. This difference does not show any signs when a person’s vision is normal, but when a person cannot see the surrounding things and loses his goal, this difference appears, and its manifestation is that he can do circular motions.
At this time, the reason for "ghost hits the wall" appears. Because people usually encounter ghost hits the wall in the dark night when they are unable to see their fingers, people's vision is almost deprived. At this time, the difference between the left and right vestibule of the brain will cause people to move around, and then there will be a phenomenon of spinning according to a certain radius.
written at the end
"Ghost hits the wall" is actually a word that appears because people in the past do not understand science and at the same time do not understand this behavior of spinning in place. It is actually an instinctive circular motion that occurs after vision deprivation. Nowadays, the "ghost-killing wall" has almost disappeared. This is because the vegetation near our living area has been cut down on a large area, and people rarely have the opportunity to enter this extremely dark environment. At the same time, street lights are now everywhere in rural areas, and the light at night is also the main reason why people are not prone to "ghost-killing wall".
