Here is what I would like you to do: Research a mysterious phenomenon. It can be anything. Write your opinion about this mystery.
- Do you think it could be for real? If so, why do you believe it? What gives you faith in this phenomenon?
- If you don't believe it, why not? Then give a more rational explanation.
- Is it a hoax? If so, why do you think the people made it up?
Is it a delusion? If so, why would people delude themselves into believing?
Here is a partial list of mysterious phenomena to choose from:
aliens
Area 51
Crop Circles
ghosts
haunted houses (Check out the Whaley House in Old Town, San Diego)
haunted ships (Check out the Star of India, also in San Diego)

ReplyDeleteI'm going to talk about the Astrology which really happens in all countries (I guess) by people who are lying.
ReplyDeleteI'm 100% sure that there is no one who can know the future because we are human and humans can only remember what happened in the past.
If they are right, why can't they know our names or our past? I mean it is easier than looking for the future !! Why don't they work with the goverments to find the bad people around the world?
It's actually funny and I feel so sorry when I see people believe in these things.
And yes it is a hoax, they just do it to make money and the people who go to them, they don't have a good education.
I decided to look for some information about reading tealeaves.
ReplyDeleteTo do this, you have to put a pinch of tealeaves in the cup and pour boiling water over them. Then you have to drink the contents of the cup leaving tealeaves and a very small amount of liquid in the bottom. Now the "seer" receives the cup from the person who drunk the tea and proceeds to tell his or her fortune. The "seer" will observe that the tealeaves are scattered over the cup in apparent confusion but it will be noted after concentration that they form lines, circles, dots, small groups and figures. For example, the small tealeaves frequently form lines. A line means a journey, a long line a long journey, etc. and the direction of the journey may be determined by the direction of the line.
In my opinion the tealeaves reading is a very interesting art. It’s a very old science and if it’s still used and if many people believe in it, it could be because maybe at the end there’s something true. But I have to say that I’ve never had my tealeaves read, so I can’t give a real testimony about that. However I think that, as all these kind of mysterious phenomena, you cannot say certainly if they are real or not. You only have to decide if to trust in something or not.
I researched "Out of Body Experiences." I think it could be for real. I've never heard about this experiences from my friends,but I have seen many cases on TV. For example, the woman was in one picture but actually, she wasn't there. It was impossible that the woman was in the picture. Therefore, she had an
ReplyDelete"out of body experience." The picture might be a hoax but there are many cases like this. In some cases, someone can find something although he/she is sleeping. Moreover, he/she can't see it because it is far away from him/her.
I read about the Loch Ness Monster. It might to be a "monster" or probably a dinosaur who live in a lake in Schotland. People gave him a nickname, they call him Nassy... The story of this monster is very controversiasl: There are no scientific explanation for this phenomena and most of the picture of the monster are proved to be fake!! But in the past some people swears that saw a strange creature swimming in the lake! Actually research are in progress and scientist are studying this phenomenon.
ReplyDeleteI think that this being doesen't exist anymore, but maybe it was invented to attract tourism and people attention.
I choose to talk about the possession.
ReplyDeleteI searched for a definition of the word possession and I found this one :
"Possession it's the belief in the control of a person by the Devil or other spirits". This phenomenon is really amazing, it's like in the movie "Exorcist", with a young girl who is totally possessed by a spirit. When I watched this movie, I was thinking, it's unbelievable, it couldn't be real!!! Afterwards, I said, why not? Everything is possible because the world is full of weird events.
But now, to be rational, I think this kind of event is real, but no supernatural. In fact for me, people who believe they are possessed are mentaly ill. Nowadays, we know several diseases about mental health, like Schizophrenia. In this case, people change their behaviour in a few seconds and become like another person. For scientists and doctors, it's really difficult to explain this phenomenon. The medical research isn't able to find an explanation, because nowadays we don't have enough information about our brain. But, maybe in the future it will be the same, because this phenomenon is totally inexplicable.
I researched near death experiences. I think it could be real and I believe it. I read an article about near death experiences in which people went to heaven. I think maybe heaven is not a real place, but I belive there is a place full of happiness and peace after we die. If you did a lot of good things before you died, for example, helping poor people, raising a foundation ...etc, you could go to heaven. So I believe it could be true.
ReplyDeleteI would like to write about psychic.
ReplyDeleteBecause I absolutely believe it now. The reason I believe it is based on my experience. Before I came this country, I went to female pcychic who is recommended by one of my friend to ask about studying abroad. That friend had so many problems in the past such as anorexia, chaotic relationship and the tendency to get involved with people who do something illegal. But since she started to follow the advice of the pcychic, she get over all of them and became very happy after getting married to a perfect man. No one around her could expect that she would be happy like that. And that pcychic does no advertisment for herself. You can see her only when you have recommendation from someone who already know her. I think this is reliable fact to believe her. Because she must have done some advertisment if she wants to earn money before everybody notice she is fake. And I'm so surprised at she knowing me so much before I talk about myself. At the same time I'm so confused because she knew what I didn't tell anyone even my family. And she warn me of so many things that I'm afraid of.
At first I was just curious. But now I'm sure I should follow what she adviced to me.
I know it souds so strange, but you believe her if you meet her.
Area 51 and Aliens
ReplyDeleteArea 51 is a military base in the middle of the dessert in Nevada, far away from the civilization. The government of the United States says that they test in this area secret technology. Unfortunately they don’t say what kind of technology they test. A lot of people thinking, on this area they have some aliens or alien aircrafts and the USA search now for her technology. If somebody asks me what I think about this place, I would say the biggest part from Area 51 is in progress for human airplanes but I’m sure they have some unbelievable technology from Aliens on this secret place.
I researched Out-Of-Body experiences. It is called OBE for short. OBE is an experience that involves a sensation of floating outside of one's body. OBE is associated with a physical or mental trauma, use of psychedelic drugs, dissociative drugs, or a dream-like state.
ReplyDeleteI think OBE could be true, because I've heard a lot about the strange behavior of those who use drugs. For example, they jump into a driving car or walk into the railroad crossing when the train is coming. If their souls work ordinaly in their bodies, I think it cannot happen. So, I beliebe OBE could be caused when people use psychedelic drugs.
I researched about the Flying Dutchman. The Flying Dutchman is a legend. It's a ship and the people of this ship can't go to land.They have to stay on the ship. It's doomed to sail the oceans forever. The legend started in 1641 when the a Dutch ship sank off the coast of the Cape of Good Hope. At this time there were a lot of pirates. And the Seamen were afraid of other ships.
ReplyDeleteThere have been many reported sightings in the 19th and 20th cenuries. The witnesses told that they saw red lights at 4p.m.The Flying Dutchman came up on the port bow. But on arriving there was no vestige nor any sign whatever of any material ship was to be seen either near or right away to the horizon. The night was clear and calm. The most credible explanation might be a mirage seen at the sea. The Flying Duchtman was seen in the North Sea mostly. Its icy water is one of the best places to see a mirage.
I think the Flying Dutchman isn't real. It's only a legend. Some people thought they had seen the Dutchman but I think it was probably the refelction of their own ship like a mirage. They didn't know something about a mirage so they thought it was another ship.
I have watched a documentary about Area 51.
ReplyDeleteIn this documentary they speaking with Bob Lazars, this guy promised that he worked until 1989 on the Airbase Area 51. Lazar means that he saw some technology from another world. A lot of other people in this movie speak also about aliens and one guy said that he had spoken with an alien from another planet; this alien could speak a human language and adapt the voice from the people who he is speaking with.
All the eyewitnesses believe that they saw aliens or UFO’s. The problem is that the government doesn’t accept any information about Aliens so they use to avoid the answer and nobody knows what’s really happened on the Area 51.
