ESL Blogs

    Hello dear friends, as I am an active member of English Club (^_^), and prefer to post at least one blog per a year, and as the current year (2015) is about to be over, I decided to write this blog.    

    I always try to be a logical and reasonable person and usually after encountering to an event or phenomenon, I used to look for its reasons. I believe that all occurrences around us, can be proved and described using the physical logic and rules. As an example, I have no fear of any sounds which might be heard in anywhere of a house in anytime (*_^). Many persons believe that, this kinda sounds are created by spirits and they are afraid of them. I have faith in that every phenomenon, sensed by our bodies' sensors, has its own physical reasons. As a matter of fact we live in a three-dimensional physical space and deal with materials, and also our sensors (related to five senses containing eyes, ears, skin, ...), can only sense the physical events.

    For better clarifying the topic, I continue with an instance. All sounds (i.e. sonar mechanical waves) are created by physical movements. A movement needs mechanical force. The magnitude and direction of the movement is associated to the magnitude and direction of the resultant of mechanical applied forces respectively. Some sudden sounds are made by expansions and contractions of substances because of changing the temperature, some of them are made due to permanent vibration of air molecules, like the sound of striking two washed cups, in the kitchen cupboard, which can be caused by permanent vibration of the air, due to tremble of refrigerator or cooler motor. Thus a result can be concluded that the origin of all sounds around us are physical (physical reasons).

    The ambiguities arise from unknowns or in the other word, they are results of the physical rules which have not been discovered yet. This part is considered as Supernatural. I always have some physical reasons to prove or describe all the occurrences took places near me. BUT, but, but,,, the only and only event occurred to me in my life, which I could never describe that with physical rules, (O_o) is mentioned in the following.

    This adventure goes back to several years ago, when I was 8 or 9 years old. At an autumn evening, when I came back home from school, my uncle called and asked me to go to their house. In fact they (my uncle and his family) were our neighbor. When I went there, I saw some persons of our family and some neighbors had gathered there. They didn't tell me directly but I caught from their speech that in that night, my uncle had invited one of his friends who claimed to be able to summon the dead person's spirit !! and they wanted to summon my grandmother spirit. she (my grandma) was so nice lady and had died several years earlier. Firstly I must let you know that I'm completely disagreed with this action and recommend all not to dare that. But on that time I was just a child, and my uncle also wasn't aware about that.   

    No one of them believed that it might be possible. Anyway my uncle's friend came and after greeting, he spread a quadrilateral cardboard which was his tool in order to summon spirits (Hooooo, :D , don't scare dear reader). That plate was like the Ouija board (i.e. lettered board which allegedly spells out answers to questions through supernatural contact with spirits) which I have put its image here.

    But mentioned plate had some differences with the board seen in the picture. That plate, had about 50 circles. Diameter of the circles was the same as the diameter of the outer circular edge of a cup. In each circle a Persian letter had been written and after them, in some of circles a number and in remaining some words (in Persian) such as Yes, No, Hello, Bye, ... had been written. My uncle's friend, wanted a cup and put it upside down on the plate. After that he said: "Three children, come here and put their index finger on the bottom of cup without any force",,, that's why my uncle had wanted me to go there. My neighbor's girls (with the ages same as me) and I accepted that dangerous task :D . He read something slowly and after a few minutes said: "now she is here !!, you may ask her what you want !!" ,,, Then all the persons were waiting to see what would be happened.

    If I don't mistake, the first question they asked her was: "In which year you have died ?", that's because my uncle's friend didn't know that year and they wanted to test him firstly somehow. After asking, OMG, Unbelievably The cup moved under our fingers !! It moved to circles of numbers and for example, it slid respectively to 1, 9, 8, and at the end 5, which means 1985 and it was right !! While asking the questions and her replying, we children were laughing because we didn't understand what we did, and it was so funny for us, suddenly the cup was stopped. He told us: "Don't laugh, she may get sad and go", then we tried to control ourselves which was so hard :D . The other questions were asked one by one and the answers were reasonable.         

    See dear friends, sometimes you hear some supernatural stories, it is never comparable with when you see a supernatural event by your eyes and I saw it with my eyes. Anyway, the event was forgotten with the passage of time and it left many unanswered questions in my mind for ever. The main questions are: 1- Why was the cup moved ?? ,,, 2- Who was pushing or pulling the cup (the spirit of my grandma or my uncle's friend) ?? ,,, 3- Why must some persons put their index finger on the bottom of the cup ?? ,,, 4- Why those persons must be three children ?? , in fact these are not kidding, we must think about them. But I think the power supply of those movements were our (we three children) muscles and not else. because someone must put their fingers on the cup, and it didn't have any motion without putting fingers. So this result can be gotten that one of them, the spirit or my uncle's friend was influencing on one the parts of our brain related to the motor unit. I have many thing to say, but I don't wanna continue. I always recommend members to write short blogs, but here as you see...  :D

    At the end, I would like to thank you all for reading this boring blog. Now please if you have any idea about the mentioned event or if you have any experience, Share it with us.

Thank you all
