White River Monster
Arkansas ili ndi gawo lake lazilombo zomwe zimayendayenda m'mapiri ndi m'nyanja. Ulendo wathu wa cryptozoology umatengera kumpoto pa msewu wa 67 ku tawuni ya Newport, Arkansas. Newport ili ndi malemba a Loch Ness Monster omwe amavomerezedwa kwambiri ngati chochitika chenichenicho. Mtsinje wa White River ngakhale ali ndi masewera ake omwe amasungidwa.
Kuchokera cha 1915 mpaka 1924, anthu a Newport adanena kuti akuwona nyamayi ku White River.
Chilombochi, chotchedwanso "Whitey", chinkafotokozedwa kuti chinali ngati njoka ndi mamita makumi atatu. Whitey kwenikweni anali wokonzedweratu. Nzika zati zidzakwera madzulo ndikukhala ndi mphindi 10 kapena 15 zisanawonongeke. Anthu mazana adanena kuti amamuwona.
Mboni za m'ma 20 zapitazo zinanena kuti zikumveka phokoso lamkokomo ndipo zinkakhala ndi msana. Malipoti ambiri anapangidwa ndi nsodzi ndi ogwira ntchito pamtsinje.
Whitey anawoneka pang'ono, atangowoneka mwachidwi, koma anabweranso mu 1937 pamene mwini munda adanena kuti awona chilombocho. Anati adawona chinachake pamwamba pazitali mamita khumi ndi awiri ndi mamita anayi m'lifupi. Anati akuwona chilombochi katatu pambuyo pake, koma sakanatha kudziwa kukula kwake kapena chomwe chinali.
Pogwiritsa ntchito mawonekedwe atsopanowa, anthu ammudzi amamanga maukonde kuti apeze Whitey. Anthu ena amamufunafuna. Iwo sanapezepo chirichonse ndipo Whitey anafanso kachiwiri kwa zaka zambiri.
Mu 1971, amuna awiri adanena kuti adawona njira zitatu zamtsinje pamtsinje wa matope ndi malo omwe mitengo ndi zomera zinathyoledwa chifukwa cha kukula kwake kwa chilombocho. Cholengedwacho chinajambula ngakhale mu 1971 ndi Cloyce Warren wa White River Lumber Company . Ichi ndi chithunzi chokha chomwe tili nacho Whitey.
Kodi chithunzichi kwenikweni chinali cha chilombo? Asembe a Arkansas ankawoneka akuganiza choncho.
Mbali yosangalatsa kwambiri ya nthano iyi inachitikira mu 1973. Arkansas State Legislator, makamaka Senator State Senator Robert Harvey, adalenga White River Monster Refuge pafupi ndi White River yomwe ili pafupi ndi Jacksonport State Park. Iwo adakhazikitsa chigamulo chomwe chinapangitsa kuti "chisokonezo, kupha, kupondereza, kapena kuvulaza Monster White River pamene ali paulendo." Kodi ichi ndi umboni wakuti alipo kapena akuyesera kukopa alendo? Whitey ndi chimodzi mwa ziwerengero zochepa zomwe zimatetezedwa m'tawuni.
Popeza Whitey ankawonekera kawirikawiri poyamba, akatswiri ambiri amaganiza kuti pali zoona zenizeni ku nthano iyi. Kuwoneka koyambirira kunali mwinamwake nyama yodziwika yomwe siinali kawirikawiri ku Arkansas. Pambuyo pake amawonekedwewa mwina anali alligator akuwombera nkhanza (akhoza kukhala aakulu kwambiri) omwe anali okopa kwambiri m'maganizo a owona chifukwa cha nthano.
Akatswiri a sayansi ya zamoyo amakhulupirira kuti Whitey analidi chisindikizo cha njovu chomwe chinawonongeka kuti mwinamwake anasamukira molakwika ndipo anamaliza ku Newport. Anthu ena am'tawuni amakhulupirira kuti chinali chiwembu chodziwitsidwa ndi alimi amderalo. Palibe amene akudziwa motsimikiza.
Chirombochi sichinaoneke zaka zambiri koma anthu ambiri okhala pafupi ndi Mtsinje wa White akukhulupirirabe kuti alipo.
Ena amaganiza kuti wamwalira chifukwa mtsinjewo watha pang'ono. Mudzadzipezera nokha. Pali zinyama zambiri zomwe zimapezeka pafupi ndi White River (T-shirts, etc.) kotero ngati simukuwona chilombo chenicheni, mungapeze T-sheti yomwe imati muli olimba mtima kuti mum'peze.
Ngati mukufuna kutenga ulendo wochepa wa Little Rock, muyenera kupita ku Museum of Old Age House. Nyumba ya Old State inali nyumba yamakedzana ya Arkansas komanso nyumba yachikale yomwe ilipo kumadzulo kwa Mtsinje wa Mississippi. Zoonadi ndizowopsya! Zimanenedwa kuti zimasokonezedwa ndi mzimu umodzi. Mzimu wa funso. Ndale ya Arkansas inali yonyansa, choncho chiŵerengero chilichonse cha anthu chikanakhala ndi chiyanjano chosavomerezeka.
Tili ndi zifukwa zazikulu ziwiri.
Ndikofunika kuzindikira kuti mawu ovomerezeka ochokera ku Old State House ndi oti palibe mzimu. Ndalankhulana ndi anthu ambiri komanso anthu ena ogwira ntchito omwe amanena kuti mwina angathenso kuwonongeka. Izi zikunenedwa, simuyenera kuopa kupita ku Statehouse. Ndi nyumba yosungiramo zinthu zakale komanso kuyang'ana kosangalatsa ku mbiri yakale ya Arkansas. Izi ndizosangalatsa basi.
Chimodzi mwa zifukwa zomwe zikudandaula ndi John Wilson, yemwe kale anali Mkhalapule wa Nyumbayi komanso nkhani ya imodzi mwa mayina otchuka a Arkansas. Zina mwadongosolo la dubulo ndizobisika, koma, monga ambiri a duels anali, zotsatira za mkangano wa ndale.
Pamsonkhano mu 1837, Wilson analamulira nthumwi, Major Joseph J. Anthony kuti asakhale "wopanda dongosolo". Anthony ndi Wilson sanafanane. Awiriwa adasintha mawu asanachitike izi. Anthony anayamba kumenyana ndi Wilson ndi kumuopseza.
Amuna awiriwa adalowa kumenyana ndi mpeni ndipo Anthony anaphedwa ndi Wilson, ngakhale nthumwi ina inawaponyera mpando kuti awathe. Wilson anaweruzidwa chifukwa cha "kuphana". Ndale zinali zovuta.
Zimanenedwa kuti mzimu wa Wilson wawoneka akudumphadutsa pamakonzedwe a Old State House atavala chovala cha chisanu.
Ogwira ntchito mu nyumbayi adanena kuti akuwoneka.
Koma, kodi mzimu ndi Wilson kwenikweni? Antchito ena ali ndi lingaliro losiyana.
Mu 1872, Elisha Baxter adatchedwa Kazembe wa Arkansas pambuyo pa chisankho chotsutsana. Wotsutsana naye, Joseph Brooks, adanena kuti adanyozedwa kuchokera pachigonjetso. Patadutsa miyezi khumi ndi iwiri, Brooks adagwidwa ndi boma la State House. Anaponyera Baxter kunja kwa ntchito ndipo anakhazikitsa kanki pa udzu wa State House kuti awonetsere kuukira. Mankhwalawa amakhalabe pamenepo. Bwanamkubwa amene anathamangitsidwa anasamuka mumsewu ndipo anakhazikitsa ofesi ina, akuyesa boma lake motsutsana ndi Brooks. Iyo inali kanthawi kochepa kuti Pulezidenti Grant alowemo ndi kubwezeretsa dongosolo ku Arkansas. Baxter anatchulidwa kuti ndi bwanamkubwa woyenera ndipo Brooks anakakamizidwa kuchoka pantchito.
Antchito ena amakhulupirira kuti Brooks akadakhumudwa chifukwa chokakamizidwa ku ofesi yake. Ngakhale imfa, iye amadzikhulupirira yekha kukhala bwanamkubwa woyenera. Mwinamwake iye akupitirizabe kudana ndi Old State House.
Nkhondo ya Brooks-Baxter ndi imodzi mwa zochitika zotchuka ku Arkansas mbiri. Zingakhale zoyenera ngati Brooks adakana kukana nyumba yake.
Tangoganizani, mtsikana wamng'ono akupita ku chipatala akuphedwa mu ngozi ya galimoto yoopsa. Ndikuganiza kuti malo aliwonse ali ndi zolemba zawo zamtunduwu. Ndikuganiza tawuni iliyonse imalumbira kuti ndi yoona. N'chimodzimodzi ndi Arkansas. Kuwona kwa mzimu uku kumatitengera kumsewu waukulu 365 kumwera kwa Little Rock. Funsani aliyense amene akukhala pafupi ndi dera lino ndipo adzalumbira kuti amadziwa kuti wogula ndiwotheka.
Malingana ndi nkhaniyi, chaka chilichonse kuzungulira usiku, mtsikana wavala chovala choyera (nthawi zina madiresi amavulala ndipo mkazi wophimbidwa ndi magazi ndi kuvulazidwa) amasiya woyendetsa pa Highway 365.
Mayiyu awonetsedwa mbali yomwe ili kumwera kwa Little Rock ndipo amadutsa mumzinda wa Woodson, Redfield komanso mpaka Pine Bluff koma nthawi zambiri amapezeka pa mlatho. Amamuuza woyendetsa galimotoyo kuti asakumane ndi ngozi ndipo akufunikira ulendo wapita kwawo.
Wosasunthika, ena osauka amawaponyera kumka kwawo kuti akapeze kuti akafika kunyumba akupempha kuti agwetsedwe, iye sali m'galimoto. Iye wasokonezeka kwathunthu. Munthuyo amasokonezeka nthawi zonse kuti apite kukagogoda pakhomo la nyumba yomwe wapitidwa. Wokhalamo amatsegula pakhomo ndipo amamuuza kuti mwana wake wamkazi waphedwa usiku wa usiku komanso usiku uliwonse kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, amakhala ndi munthu wosiyana naye kumubweretsa kunyumba kwake. Kusiyana kwakukulu pa nkhaniyi kumati mtsikanayo anasiya malaya m'galimoto ya galimoto yosadziŵa ndipo pamene adagogoda pakhomo, atavala malaya, mayiyo adayamba kulira misozi akufuula, "Ichi chinali chovala cha mwana wanga".
Mumakhulupirira? Mwamunthu, zina za nkhani za Arkansas zimandilimbikitsa kwambiri. Msungwana uyu amapita ku nyumba yosiyana mumzinda wawung'ono uliwonse nthawi iliyonse ndikazimva. Nthawi zina amaphedwa nthawi zina, nthawi zina amawombera ndipo nthawi zina amangofika kunyumba ndi tsiku. Sindinapezepo chilichonse chokhudza aliyense yemwe amadzitcha kuti ndi mwana wa mtsikana kapena chilichonse chokhudza imfa yake.
Ngati muli ndi chidziwitso cholondola pankhaniyi, mundidziwitse. Kuyambira pano, sindikugula ndi mtima wonse. Zikuwoneka ngati makolo a mtsikanayo akanabwera kumalo osungirako uthenga pakali pano.
Komabe, sindikugwidwa kudutsa mlatho umenewo usiku wamdima ndi wamkuntho!
Ndikudziwa zomwe mukuganiza, kodi sizing'onozing'ono kuti pianist akunyansa pang'ono? Izi ndi zosiyana, ndikhulupirire ine. Pita ku US Highway 67 ndikupita ku Searcy kukayendera ku yunivesite ya Harding, ndi mzimu umene umayendetsa nyumba zawo zopatulika. Kuti muwone mzimu, mukuyenera kupita ku dipatimenti ya nyimbo ndi kumanga nyimbo.
Mbiri yakale, nthano iyi ikuwoneka kuti ndi yolondola. Mzimu umatchedwa "Galtie Gertie," chifukwa Harding anali adakali Galloway College kwa Akazi pamene Gertrude adapezeka.
Galloway inali imodzi mwa mabungwe abwino kwambiri kumwera, ndipo Gertrude anali nyimbo yaikulu.
Pali zolemba ziwiri zomwe ndamva. Chovomerezeka kwambiri ndi chomwe chimatsatira. Usiku wina Gertrude anali kubwerera ku dorm kuyambira tsiku. Anamuuza usiku wabwino ndikukwera pamwamba pa chipinda chake ku Gooden Hall. Iye anamva phokoso mkati mwa elevator ndipo anapita kukawona izo ndipo mwinamwake anagwa pa imfa yake. Zimanenedwa kuti kuthamanga kwa magazi kudandaula atsikana ena ndipo wina amawona mawonekedwe a mdima akuthamanga kuchokera kumalo, koma kusewera koyipa sikudali kutsimikiziridwa. Gertie anali kuvala chovala choyera, chovala chachabechabe, monga momwe akazi omwe nthawi zambiri ankachitira patsiku, atagwa. Nkhani zina zimati iye anaikidwa mu chovala ichi.
Sipanatenge nthawi yaitali kuti imfa ya Gertrude ifike kuti ophunzira ayambe kuwona chovala chachilendo chovala chokwera mumsasa kapena zipinda. Ena adawauza kuti amatha kumva kukwapula kwa chovala chake pamene amayenda kuholoyi pomwe ayesa kugona.
Kuvutikira kunapeza Galloway mu 1934. Gooden Hall anawonongedwa mu 1951. Nyumba ya Harding Administration ndi kumene Gooden Hall ankakhalira. Wopanga zida ndikuti adagwiritsa ntchito njerwa kuchokera ku Gooden Hall kuti amange nyumba ya amayi ya Pattie Cobb ndi Claude Rogers Lee Music Center.
Gertie ankakonda malo oimba.
Ophunzira adanena kuti amatha kumva piano yofooka akusewera mopepuka, kapena amavala zofunda za zovala zake zoyera ndikukumva atasambira akuyenda. Legend limati gulu la anyamata linasankha kuti likhale usiku ku malo oimba nyimbo kuti asonyeze kuti Gertie salipo. Iwo anali atatsekeredwa mwa chitetezo, ndipo chitetezo chinayang'ana nyumbayo kuti zitsimikizire kuti palibe wina aliyense amene anali mmenemo. Atangotsala okha, anayamba kumva piyano yodabwitsa. Atawopa, adatcha chitetezo, koma chisanakhale chitetezo chisanafike iwo anasonkhanitsa kulimba mtima kuti awone. Pamene adayandikira phokosolo, kusewera kunayima ndipo palibe wina adapezeka mnyumbayo.
Nyumba yachikale ya Lee siigwiritsidwanso ntchito ngati zomangamanga, popeza nyumba ya Reynolds inamangidwa. Mulibe pianos mu nyumbayi. Gertie kuwonerako kwacheperapo, koma iye akadali pafupi.
Mphunzitsi wina akufotokoza kuti:
Ndikuika zipangizo mu chipinda chakale kumbuyo, ndipo ndimamva nyimbo. Ndikumva kuthamanga kwa piyano ndipo ndi mawu okongola a mkazi uyu. Zomwe ndimaganiza zinali, 'munthu, wokongola kwambiri,' koma ndinakumbukira kuti palibe pianos m'nyumbayi, ndipo ndinali ndekha.
Zina, zosadalirika, nkhani ndi yakuti mu 1930, mtsikana yemwe ali ndi ntchito yodalirika anapita ku Harding.
Iye ankaimba nyimbo. Anayamba kukondana ndi wophunzira wina wovuta yemwe anaphedwa mwangozi m'galimoto ya galimoto pasanapite nthawi. Anali wopanikizika kwambiri ndipo ankakhala ola limodzi lokha la tsikulo pa phwando lachitatu la nyumba yomvetsera kusewera piyano. Pambuyo pake mu semester yemweyo anaphedwa, nayenso anamwalira. Legend amanena kuti anafa ndi mtima wosweka. Atangomwalira, ophunzira adaimba nyimbo za piano kumva kuchokera ku nyumba yachitatu ya nyumba yomanga. Nthawi iliyonse akapita kukafufuza, sakanapeza aliyense kumeneko. Ambiri amakhulupirira kuti mtsikanayo anali kumusangalatsa wokondedwa wake kuchokera kumanda.
Nkhaniyi inauzidwa mu Nyumba za Haunted za Ivy: Ghosts of Colleges and Southern Universities. Komabe, ku Harding akuluakulu omwe anakumana nawo anali atangomva za Gertie.
Katswiri wina wa koleji ku Arkansas ndi Henderson State University ku Arkadelphia. Henderson ndi yunivesite ya Ouachita Baptist nthawi zonse akhala akusukulu. Kupikisana ndiko chifukwa cha nthano za m'tauni. Ngakhale mumzinda wa Urban Legends, sukulu iliyonse imayankhula mosiyana.
Popeza Henderson ndi amene amanyansidwa, tiyambira ndi machitidwe awo.
Nkhaniyi imatibwezeretsa ku zaka za m'ma 1920, nthawi yomwe mpikisano wa mpira wachangu inali bizinesi yaikulu.
Nthanoyi imati wochita masewera a mpira wotchedwa Ouachita mpira, Joshua, anali kukondana ndi munthu watsopano ku Henderson, Jane. Iwo anali achikondi kwambiri, komabe mfundo yakuti Jane anali wochokera ku Henderson inali yotsutsana ndi Josh.
Mabaibulo ena amanena kuti abwenzi ake ankanyoza ndi kumunyengerera kuti alowe pansi. Pomalizira pake anaphwanya naye ndipo potsirizira pake adasunthira kupeza adakali ovomerezeka a Ouachita. Mabaibulo ena amanena kuti anakumana ndi mtsikana woyamba ndipo anaswa ndi Jane chifukwa cha izo. Mwanjira iliyonse, Ouachita ndi wotayika kwenikweni m'nkhaniyi. Amuna omwe amawachita ndi amodzi, molondola?
Kupatula, pamene Ouachita akuwuza, ndi Jane yemwe anali woyambitsa mabada a Ouachita ndi Joshua yemwe anali mchenga wa mpira wa Henderson. Anyamata awo a Henderson ndi enieni enieni.
Otsutsana enieni amatsutsana ngakhale pamene akunena nthano za m'tawuni.
Komabe, nkhaniyi (kapena mwina) imanena kuti pamene Jane adapeza kuti anali pachibwenzi ndi msungwana watsopano ndikumufikitsa kunyumba kwake, mtima wake unasweka.
Anapita ku chipinda cha dorm ndi kuvala chovala choda ndi chophimba, adayenderera mpaka kumtsinje wa Ouachita ndipo adakwera mpaka imfa yake.
Tsopano chaka chilichonse pa Sabata Yoyenda Kwambiri, mzimu wa Jane, wovala wakuda ndi chophimba, umatchedwa Henderson College. Iye wawonetsedwa akuyenda mkati ndi kunja kwa Smith Hall, holo ya azimayi atsopano komanso kuzungulira msasa.
Ochita nawo maphunziro akunena kuti ali kumeneko akufunafuna mkazi yemwe adamuba mwamuna yemwe amamukonda kutali ndi iye (atapanga atsikana a Henderson) ndi anyamata omwe amamuzunza ndi kumunyoza Yoswa. Ophunzira a Henderson
Ophunzira a Henderson akunena kuti akufunabe kupita kukacheza ndi Josh.
Iye samachita zochuluka. Ophunzira amapereka chiwonongeko chakuda chakuda, akumva kulira, kumva manja ozizira kapena madontho a kutentha mwadzidzidzi. Iye ndi wokongola kwambiri, pokhapokha atapeza kuti ndinu wosiyana ndi mtsikana yemwe adba Josh, ndikuganiza.
Amanena mozama za nkhaniyi kumayendedwe atsopano, kotero ophunzira ambiri ku Henderson amva.
Nkhani yosangalatsa pa webusaiti ya Henderson imati:
Nthano ya "Lady in Black" inayamba mu 1912, patatha sukulu ya wophunzira wa Henderson wotchedwa Nell Page, yemwe akutchedwa kulenga nkhaniyi. Malinga ndi nthano, Lady in Black adayendetsa maholo ku nyumba ya atsikana kuti adziwe yemwe adzagonjetse nkhondo ya nkhondo. Ngati iye atavala zakuda, izo zimasonyeza kupambana kwa Reddies; ngati atavala zoyera, chigonjetso cha Ouachita chinanenedweratu. Pambuyo pa imfa ya Nell ali wamng'ono, nkhaniyi ikupita kuti anali mzimu wake amene adayendayenda.
