Our reporter Liu Xinlian Gang
Strange things happened in September last year
At noon yesterday, the reporter arrived at Zhongjiang County, the birthplace of the "bizarre legend" Minzhu Township, Yongxin District. When the reporter asked where Chen Yinglin’s home was, the villagers who knew about it all told the reporter about the strange things about Chen’s family: “His house is haunted! Stones and tiles will fly up and hit people!” The township government went to see it and couldn’t find out the cause!” Under the guidance of the villagers, the reporter took a motorcycle taxi for more than 20 minutes and finally found Chen Yinglin’s home behind a bamboo forest.
Knocking on the door of Chen Yinglin's house, Chen Yinglin's family of three was having lunch. Many villagers heard about the reporter's arrival and rushed to Chen's house to watch the excitement. Chen Yinglin's home is very spacious and has a courtyard. Speaking of the strange things that happened at home, Chen Yinglin said in a very calm tone: "I have been the village party secretary for more than 20 years and I don't believe this." He said that since September last year, some abnormal phenomena have appeared in their family. On September 3 last year, his 80-year-old mother ( ) was cooking in the kitchen when she suddenly saw a piece of yellow mud falling into the kitchen. She thought it was her great-grandchildren who were naughty and playing with mud, so she scolded them, but the children It was innocent enough to say that they were not playing in the mud. Then, yellow mud flew in from time to time and hit his mother on the back. It lasted for more than two hours before stopping, frightening his mother. After 9 a.m. the next morning, his mother was hit again at home by some tiles and stones that came from nowhere. At first they were small tiles, and later they were tiles as big as a palm. "You couldn't see where the tiles flew from at all. You only found out when they hit you." Chen Yinglin said that they just felt strange about this at first, so they invited a "Feng Shui Mr." to take a look at their home. There are some paper charms posted on each door. After that, similar situations did not stop and became more and more serious. Sometimes a handful of firewood ashes suddenly appeared while cooking, and people could only watch the ashes fall into the pot and bowl.
"Flying objects" beat away his mother and beat his wife
What makes Chen Yinglin's family feel strange is that these "pranks" only target Chen Yinglin's ( ) kiss to one person, and not the rest of the family None of them, including two children aged eight or nine, had been "attacked" like this. Chen Yinglin said that because of his old age, his mother wore a hat all year round. "The hat was often lifted off by (unidentified objects) and flew to the roof. After a while, it automatically flew in front of people." In addition to the tiles, "attacks" His mother's and his family's old shoes that were kept under the bed. Once, while his mother was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the sun, a bamboo strip on the ground caught her neck and pulled her back for no apparent reason, scaring her so much that she cried. Chen Yinglin said that his mother is over 80 years old and has never encountered such a thing before. Considering his mother's safety, Chen Yinglin sent his mother to his sister's home in Deyang. Currently, his mother is doing well in Deyang.
After Chen Yinglin's mother left, a similar situation happened to Chen Yinglin's wife Wu Minshu: empty wine bottles placed under the cabinet would "fly" out and hit her, and she would be spilled when she was cooking in the kitchen. The firewood ashes on the upper end... During the interview, Wu Minshu lifted up her trouser leg, pointed to a looming bruise and said that it was hit by the "flying" tiles and bricks. According to her, the areas she was "attacked" included her buttocks, waist, and back of her head, and she was sometimes hit very painfully.
A family wears helmets to avoid "attacks"
Chen Yinglin said that the strange thing is that he and his two grandsons have not been attacked so far.
Moreover, the "attack" only occurs during the day, and calms down at night, and does not occur when there are many people around. Once it occurs, it will last for about a week, and then it will subside for a few days before relapsing.
Wu Minshu was very troubled by this. "This incident has made our family uneasy and unable to survive. We have to keep looking behind us when we walk," she said. Now even the kitchen knives and sickles at home are missing. They are about to "fly". They are "clearly placed on the top of the cupboard, but they are often seen lying outside the door or in the courtyard. Fortunately, they did not hurt anyone." In order to prevent being injured by "flying" things, his family had to buy several helmets. The family now wears helmets on their heads at all times except when sleeping.
According to Wu Minshu, there have been strange calls at home recently. “The sound is like a child’s cry, and it feels like it’s screaming in front of people.” However, no abnormality has been found. “At most, He barked hundreds of times a day." Wu Minshu said that she was not afraid of it. Every time the strange scream appeared, she would curse to herself: "You monster! Do you think you can scare me? Go away."
Wu Minshu She opened a snakeskin bag placed in the corner of her house and said: "It contains all the things that flew over to hit me. The people from the county public security bureau told me not to touch it." The reporter saw that she poured out the bag from the bag. They were all filled with beverage and wine bottles, as well as a heavy flashlight. She also took reporters to the door of the hall, pointed to a pile of old shoes and said: "These are also the ones that flew up and hit people."
Reporter's investigation: No "weird" phenomena were encountered
After listening to the above introduction, the reporter was doubtful. In order to experience whether there is really a "weird" phenomenon here, the reporter stayed at Chen Yinglin's house for an afternoon and walked around from time to time. Except for the voices of nearby people, he did not hear any strange sounds. After waiting for an afternoon, all the items in the Chen family's house stayed quietly in their places, and no abnormality was found. Onlookers thought it was because of the large number of people. When there are many people, strange phenomena will not appear.
College students say “weird things are true”
Apart from local villagers, who can prove that these so-called “weird things” are true? In this village, the reporter found a college student who came all the way from Chengdu to experience the "weird" phenomenon. He said that he saw this on TV and didn't believe it at all, so he came here to visit on the spot. On August 23, he came to Chen Yinglin's home and asked to try it out for himself in Chen's house, and asked everyone to stay away for the time being.
He recalled: "I just walked around the house, but there was no movement. I thought it was ridiculous. But when I was on the phone in the main room, something hit me in the butt. "I thought someone was doing something weird, but when I looked back, there was no one there, only the potatoes fell on the ground." He said nothing at the time, and then went to eat, but unexpectedly he was hit in the waist and thigh by "flying" stones. and the back of the head. Although he was frightened, he had to believe that the "weird" phenomenon was real. The college student also said that he had heard that fellow villagers had been hit by tiles when they visited Chen's house. After the incident spread, the township government came to investigate, and the county public security department also went to the scene to take the fingerprints of the person involved and collected some evidence, but no conclusion was ever drawn.
According to a Chengdu TV reporter who went to the scene to interview, they visited Chen’s house three times in one day, stayed at his house for two nights, and set up three cameras at his house from different angles. , hoping to record the "flying object" scene, but it was not recorded. On August 27, they were interviewing Chen Yinglin's daughter by the wall of Chenjiayuanba. Suddenly, a scream came from the wall, which lasted for about two seconds and then disappeared. They hurried outside the wall to see if someone was causing trouble, but Nothing was seen. Wu Minshu said with certainty that the sound was the strange scream they usually heard. At that time, a reporter from the TV station happened to record the "strange scream" and it was broadcast on the program on August 31. The reporter involved said that the things that "flyed" and hit people were all from Chen Yinglin's house. If someone was hiding in the dark to play a prank, they would never move so fast, and judging from the layout of the Chen family's room, there was no hiding place. place. Two experts from the Academy of Social Sciences who came to the scene with the TV reporter were also confused by the incident and said they could not explain it.
A staff member of the Minzhu Township Government said that they had heard about this a long time ago, but they had always thought that it was because Chen Yinglin had feudal superstitions and exaggerated the relevant situation, so they never paid attention to it. Later, everyone was talking about it, so they went to Chen's house to check, but so far they have never seen the strange things in the rumors with their own eyes.
He also confirmed that investigators from the Zhongjiang County Public Security Bureau did come to the scene to investigate, but there is no result yet. They will keep an eye on this matter and report any situation to their superiors immediately.
Experts: It is estimated to be man-made
Hu Guangwei, an expert from the Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences, went to the local area to investigate the matter at the end of August. He believes that although there are various opinions on this matter, they are not sure whether it is true, but it can be said with certainty that this matter cannot be caused by the so-called "gods" and "ghosts". He speculated that nothing could fly for no reason, and it must be caused by external forces. However, there were no earthquakes or strong winds in the area, so it was probably due to human factors. Now that the public security organs have intervened in the investigation, there will definitely be results.
