Cellphones Spook Ghosts
Mobile phones are killing off ghosts, a British expert who has spent years researching the occult said on Sunday.
Tony Cornell, of the Society for Psychical Research, told the Sunday Express newspaper that reports of ghost sightings had started to decline when mobile phones were
introduced 15 years ago.
“Ghost sightings have remained consistent for centuries. Until three years ago we'd receive reports of two new ghosts every week,”said Cornell, of Cambridge in
Eastern England.
“But with the introduction of mobile phones 15 years ago, ghost sightings began to decline to the pointswheresnow we are receiving none.”
According to the paper, haunted tourist attractions in Britain could be under threat if the number of cellphones continues to grow from the present figure of 39
million
Apparently paranormal events, which some scientists put down to unusual electrical activity, could be drowned out by the electronic noise produced by phone calls and
text messages.
英国灵异专家说:手机能驱鬼
英国一名研究幽灵现象的专家日前表示,手机的出现正令幽灵逐渐灭绝。
英国心灵现象研究学会的托尼·康奈尔向《星期日快报》介绍说,自从15年前手机开始进入人们生活后,报告目击幽灵现象的个案就开始减少了。
康奈尔先生说:“好几个世纪以来,不断有人看到幽灵,直到3年前我们平均每个星期还能接到两起新的幽灵事件。但是自从15年前人们开始用手机之后,幽灵现象就开始减少,到现在我们已经接不到任何这方面的报告了。”
据《星期日快报》的报道称,英国全国现在共有3900万台手机,如果这个数字继续上升的话,英国那些以幽灵恐怖吸引旅游者的景点将受到威胁。
许多科学家将幽灵这种超自然现象解释为不寻常的电力活动,这种电力活动可能会被手机通话和传短信时发出的电子杂波驱散。
