Ghost. Thailand

Strange news appeared on the pages of the Thai newspaper "The Nation" November 6, 2017. It was reported that the community of Nong Suang (Kalasin province) called for a serious delegation from the public health organization led by Director Dr. Payrat Songkram. In addition to officials, in the settlement arrived doctors and psychologists. The purpose of the visit investigation of unusual incidents.

It all started with the fact that on 29 October in one of the villages under mysterious circumstances died four men. According to rumors, the autopsies of the bodies showed that the victims lacked internal organs. Among the local population has started a real panic. People said that the inside was eaten by an evil spirit, who was deceased in the image of a female Ghost.

In the province of Kalasin is far not the first case. In 2007 the same under similar circumstances died four men, all in one day. And 10 years later, in July of this year, a mysterious disease took four cows. Shortly thereafter, became seriously ill four police officers. In Asian countries the number four is considered unlucky, it symbolizes death.

The belief in the supernatural in one way or another is typical for many inhabitants of the Earth. It is a feature of human nature: where there are no clear answers to the questions our mind comes up with fantastic images. And the collective consciousness makes the brightest of them are traditional for a particular area.

Historically, in the North-East of Thailand people believe in the bloodthirsty ghosts. These spirits (it is believed that they are female) choose their victims among men and pursue them, gradually destroying the insides. In the end, the man dies.

To protect yourself from a series of new deaths, 370 families from three villages have hired a monk-hermit – he and twenty of his assistants conducted a special ceremony, forbidding the demon to cross the borders of these settlements. The head of the community told reporters that a magical ritual to calm people down. Many returned after the ceremony with a smile on her face.

However, the head of the group of doctors, a specialist in preventive medicine Dr. Pirates Songkhram believes that early to rejoice. It was officially established that one of the victims died from leptospirosis (a bacterial disease that causes kidney problems and meningitis), and the other had problems with blood pressure. But the peasants official diagnoses was not convinced. The embodiment of the evil spirit they believe one of the local widows, and, if in the near future in the village will die with another man, her life will be threatened.

Officials are still investigating the real causes of death. And psychologists are currently working with the families of the deceased. The head of the investigation team forbade his subordinates laughing at local superstitions that the farmers have not stopped working.

Another question is whether these beliefs are fantastic, because there are still many unexplained phenomena that are beyond scientific comprehension. On the unfortunate day of October 29, there was a series no less mysterious deaths: several Pets and one bull were found dead. Mangled bodies were missing internal organs.
