#7 Scientific basis for the phenomenon of ghosts: Carbon Monoxide Poisoning In 1921, ophthalmologist William Wilmer published a rather chilling note in the American Journal of Ophthalmology. It told the story of the H family and their haunted house. The article reported that people's homes were filled with all sorts of frightening creaks, the sounds of slamming doors, footsteps in an empty room, and moving furniture. One of the children felt that someone was sitting on him, the second child of the family was attacked by some mystical figure. At night, the mistress of the house was visited by a woman and a man who simply stood by her bed. Later, the owner said that unwanted visits were repeated. Over time, paranormal activity in the house intensified so much that all family members despaired and fell into deep depression. After which it was noticed that all the plants in the house began to die for no apparent reason. And this is what made it possible to find out the true history of the haunted house. The fact is that from the fireplace located in the house, the smoke did not go into the chimney, as it should, but spread throughout the entire house. It turned out that the whole family was suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. The bottom line is that carbon monoxide has no color or odor, making it very difficult to detect. The gas is very dangerous to humans because our red blood cells absorb CO (the formula for carbon monoxide) much more easily than they absorb oxygen. And the lack of oxygen in the body leads to symptoms such as weakness, nausea, confusion and ultimately death. But before you pass away due to carbon monoxide poisoning, you may experience various kinds of hallucinations, which all members of the “H” family suffered from. Another interesting case occurred in 2005, when a woman “frightened in spirit” called law enforcement. Police arrived on the scene and found that the cause of the paranormal activity was a broken water heater that was filling the house with carbon monoxide. The moral of the story is: stay away from carbon monoxide, otherwise you may see not only ghosts, but also a light at the end of the tunnel (or maybe not). To be continued...
