If you are one of those who believe in ghosts and other supernatural, then you are definitely not alone. About 18% of people do it, and some argue that even came in contact with them. But some unknown force makes us feel close, something incredible happens? And are there scientific explanations for this is not a scientific phenomenon?
In this article — five explanations “of the existence of signs”, which was discovered by scientists.
Infrasound
Sound above 20,000 Hz are too high for us, unlike, say, bats. But we have a problem with sounds below 20 Hz, known as infrasound, which generally go unnoticed. However, in the study of 2003 showed that 22% of participants in the concerts, which were exposed to sound at 17 Hz, reported that they suffer from “unexplained feeling of disgust and fear.”
Events such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, or lightning, also can produce infrasound. And from a more mundane, such as diesel engines, wind turbines and some speakers.
Mold
Inhalation of mold can be dangerous for our respiratory system, but not only. Scientists say that exposure to mold is sometimes accompanied by neurological symptoms, including anxiety, delusions and irrational fears. So is it a coincidence that the people often see ghosts in old houses and abandoned buildings, covered with mold? Scientists are working to establish a link between the presence of indoor mold and spectral observations, so perhaps very soon we will know something interesting about.
Carbon monoxide
Similarly, as the inhalation of mold can lead to the fact that people start to see hear and feel things that aren’t there, has similar effects and exposure to too much carbon monoxide. This colorless and highly toxic gas with no taste and smell slowly poisons the man, while he is nothing special to notice.
But while the gas leak is not detected, the compound can cause auditory and visual hallucinations, pressure in the chest and “inexplicable feeling of fear.” One popular history of the 1920-ies about the family who moved into a haunted house, had a rather dangerous solution: it turned out that the sound of footsteps, strange movement and a sense of presence due to the presence in dwellings of carbon dioxide which penetrated there from the broken stove.
The power of persuasion
Studies show that we are more likely going to believe in the paranormal experience, if someone else who was there at the time of the appearance of ghosts or anything else that can support our faith. For the same reason, psychologists say, people are more inclined to believe Ghost stories, in which some of the participants. Well, if we talk about large groups, mass consciousness and mass hysteria, complement scientists has not been canceled.
The lack of air
As soon As the climate is getting warmer, and the air conditioning is more expensive, we should most ventilated room so as not to meet ghosts. The doctors say that the lack of oxygen in some cases can cause dizziness, confusion, delirium and hallucinations, so do not write off this option.
Finally, don’t forget that we just like being afraid. Neurologists have found that at this time, the human brain releases dopamine — a hormone associated with pleasure. And the fact of how many dopamine receptors you have, can influence, are you a person who prefers Comedy to horror movies, or a man who believes in ghosts and is waiting to meet them.
