Urban legends and the strange folk stories

Urban legends and the strange folk stories

We are all heard strange stories, what is bothering our mind. some of those stories are funny, sometimes scary and in some cases utopistic. When we are thinking about those stories like the story of the family, who left their house or flat empty for holiday, and when they returned all the furniture was stolen.

They came in the empty house, and sometimes this case, what origin remains unknown is used as an example of the unusual crime, and in some versions that family washed money and set up the stealing. They just took illegal money, and then bought furniture. Then that family gave the furniture to bandits and took good profits from the insurance company. That thing could be a good way to wash money, but that thing could be done only once.

Another version of this kind of case, where the killer sits in the backseat and tells about murders. In that case, the person takes the cab, and then says to visit in some places and asks the driver to wait, and then the cab driver starts to hear the murders, what is happening in the addresses, where that cab has been visited. The origin of that kind of tales are probably taxi drivers, who are driving in the big cities, and in those cities lives many kinds of people, and some of those customers, who take a cab in the night time might used drugs, and the tale is very old. And maybe there is real origin in real life.

When we are thinking about urban legends, there is always some kind of source for those tales. That means that there could happen something strange in those areas. And have you heard one of the most famous urban legends in the world? The crocodiles, what are living in the sewer system of New York City.

The origin of that legend might be that those sewers are very long and complex network under the city. In those sewers might live many kinds of people, from the homeless to mentally ill. And maybe some people, who lived in those places would make some illegal stuff in those places.

Those things might be the drug laboratories or storages of illegal weapons. The list of possibilities is extremely long. There are rumors about the government recon robots, what are looking like crocodiles. The stories are telling that those robots are equipped with hydraulic clamps, what is looking like the jaws, and also there are stories of microwave and another kind of exotic weapons, what is installed in those robots.

One of the most horrifying urban legends is connected to nazi-concentration camps. The origin of that legend is basing the thing, that allied forces transferred captured German officials to Dachau concentration camp waiting for the Nurenberg trial. And in that case, the urban legend tells, that the extermination camps continued their work behind the allied lines or even in peacetime. The thing behind those stories is that some of the Nazi prison camps were used as prisons after the second world war, but the rumor that some fanatic SS-guards continued the gassing in the allied controlling areas is without evidence.

But there is another version of this very horrifying urban legend, and in this version of that quite little known story tells that some guards of those camps lost their mind and fell the cyanide to the homes of the people, who they didn't like. The story might be without counterpart in real life, and I certainly hope so, but the thing is that the world is full of legends and in the time of fake news we must realize, that everybody can make own urban legend and if right persons are delivering that thing. Those rumors and stories, what is straight from the imagination might become new urban legends like crocodiles in the sewer system, what people are telling each other.

What would be living underground?

What would be living underground?

1. Vril the coming race

There are many tales about secret laboratories, which are located underground below the surface of the Earth. In many stories, the Nazis have escaped in underground tunnels, and the thing, what is feeding those rumors is the thing, that many codes or code words, what was used by SS  were taken from the book, what was written by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, and it was named as "Vril, the coming race". That kind of stories was feed by books like "Les Misérables", what included the tales of the people, who are living in the sewer systems all around the world. H.G Wells have also mentioned the underground society in the book "Time Machine", so that kind of things are very influential for the imagination of the people.

Sewer system has offered safe places for the political refugees, anarchists, and artists, who were too brave to make their paintings and texts in public places. The underground resistance fighters in Warsaw hired in the sewer system when Nazis persecuted them, and the Soviet government created a massive tunnel network, what is known as "Metro 2".  Similar networks of tunnels are located in Area-51, and there are tales of similar places all around the world, and as an example the "Porton Down" complex contains the underground installations. The thing is that underground cities exist and one of them is Coober Pedy in Australia.

2. Could bioluminescence light transform to the electricity by using light-cells or solar panel that way, it effective to use? 

Could giant mushrooms or bacteria create enough bioluminescence light that it can use in electricity? If that light would conduct to the light cell, it would make the electricity. Of course, electricity can be stored to Leyden bottles, and when enough high level of the electricity it can be conducted to the quicksilver light. That system would make ultraviolet light for the entire system, what will use to grow things like potatoes and other vegetables. Quicksilver lights can be simple the bottles what are filled with quicksilver, and they can heat by using electric arc or normal fire.

3. Coober Pedy is the real world underground city

I got the idea of this writing in the film, what I saw on YouTube. The link to that film is above this character. The film is telling about the Australian underground city known as Coober Pedy, and it is known as the opal capital of Australia. Half of the population of this country is living underground, and sometimes I have thought, that there could be similar communities all around us. There are people living in the sewer systems of New York, and also there are similar communities in many other cities. So is there something, what somebody doesn't want us to know?

 When we are thinking about the fascinating life in underground societies, those people need of course D-vitamin and something to eat. There are stories of the drug laboratories what are located in the sewer systems, and the thing, what brought those people in the public knowledge is the book, what is written by Victor Huge. Those underground societies had a big role in the book "Les Misérables", and that book has given ideas about the stories of the giant underground laboratories and other kinds of things, what are living underground below the public knowledge.
