神秘恐怖：揭秘肯尼亚火山口的“死尸之地”之谜

肯尼亚有一个名叫梅南加伊的火山口，坑里树木郁郁葱葱，是当地的自然奇观。可是，尽管梅南加伊火山拥有宁静而令人窒息的奇观，当地人却认为邪恶的精灵附在了它的上面，因为最近几年，坑里频频发生一些令人费解的事儿，被当地人越传越邪乎。那么，这个神秘的大坑里究竟有什么？

火山口名为“死尸之地”

　　当地人都知道这个大坑里面经常发生一些稀奇古怪的事情，在附近居住的男孩仍旧愿意冒这种被他们所说的“鬼怪”围住的风险而去这里探访游玩。有些人真的一去不复回。于是，传言四起，很多当地人说，如果有人进入坑内，邪恶精灵便在火山口四周拉起很多美丽的墙，这时人就会被他们困住而分不清东西南北。

　　有的人在此丢了性命，也有一些人神秘消失，至今活不见人，死不见尸。当然，也有一些人因意外事故而去世，还有一些则被证明是自杀身亡。然而，这座火山口仍旧持续不断地吸引着数百好奇的人们来这里探险。导游通过陪同游人参观并给他们讲述一些在这里发生的令游客十分震惊的奇怪事情，可以获得一定的收入。

　　发生在这个火山爆发形成的大坑里的奇事听起来非常可怕，当然这些故事也令人迷惑不解，真假难辨。有些人在坑里迷路，找不到回家的方向，即使在数小时之后他们被当地人找到，也不能解释自己当时究竟是如何迷路的。当地居民都说：这些事说起来很多人并不相信，但是这里的确发生了那么多奇怪的事情。

　　当地居民曾把这个地方称为“恶魔之地”，因为按他们的理解，这个地方受邪恶精灵的控制，否则如何解释这里发生的怪事？当然，没有人知道这座火山口名字的由来，但是当地人说，这个名字是坦桑尼亚语里的一个词语，意思为“死尸之地”。

　　有理由相信这个名字在坦桑尼亚语中的意思是死人之地，因为在19世纪非洲人自相残杀时，他们中的很多就死在这里。即使这个坑里发生过部落之间的战争可这仍然无法解释这里发生的怪事。
“梅南加伊”这个名字的第二个意思“魔鬼居住地”。与“死尸之地”相比，这个名字的由来更清楚一些，它涉及到曾经在这里居住的一个神秘部落的故事。

　　当地居民纳都说：“这个火山口的声音听起来有时像母牛发情的叫声。而且坑里仍有一些炽热的区域，坑里有动物，但它们显然不会生火，无当地人便据此推断说这里必定居住着恶魔，这里的火都是恶魔点燃的。”

　　去年，一个人曾火山口附近放牧，尽管很早他对那一带地形就非常熟悉，但是还是在那里迷了路。

大坑其实是一个宁静所地  

　　尽管有那么多耸人听闻的故事发生，火山洞却给那些宗教信徒们提供了一个有益于他们祈祷和斋戒的安静环境。当然，不时地传出信徒在这里自杀的消息，其中就有两位天主教牧师撞进这个休眠的死火山中一命归西。

　　纳都说，这个事件发生在去年11月，当时一位天主教牧师跳进他的汽车，冲向这个距他仅有900米的火山洞。他说：“他瞄准看到的一个点直直地冲了上去，其间没有任何停顿，几秒之后，剩下的仅仅是一堆扭曲的汽车外壳和他失去生气的身体。”

鬼怪也会保护环境？

　　然而朝圣者仍旧会聚到这里进行祈祷。当地《旗帜报》记者遇到了从卡卡梅加来的保罗·瓦林格，他呆在这个洞穴里面祈祷斋戒将近两个星期了。他说，这个地方简直太好了，在这里我可以把生活中的敌意淹没，从而接触到一个人内在的灵魂。

　　他还说：“每当我在此祈祷的时候，我都感觉自己离神非常近。这里的确是个映照和反思个人生活的好地方。”他并不相信这里有什么鬼怪，他把这些鬼怪故事看成是人们丰富想象力的产物。他说：“我经常在这里祈祷至晚上很晚的时候，从来没有看见当地人所谈论的东西。”

　　但是69岁的西蒙·卡木吉仍然认为这里坑里确有恶魔。他说，在播种期间，他们会朝着火山口的南端犁地，接下来种上小麦和玉米，但是庄稼不久就会被鬼怪没收。他还说：“事情发生太快了，你会看到一些庄稼和鬼怪收割的场景，但不久收割的慌张局面就结束了，而且土地也恢复到原来没种庄稼时的乱草丛生的状态，这时鬼怪也将会消失。”
卡木吉回忆说，这些鬼怪曾经在60年代还在火山口的底部从事大规模农业生产。他断言称：“我们现在看到的鬼怪从事的农业劳动规模很小，他们居住在火山口的底部，并没有像40年前那样疯狂劳动。”他说，这些鬼怪负责捉拿人类，然后在阴间把他们藏起来。然而，这些鬼怪却只捉拿了那些试图破坏火山口动物群的生态破坏分子。他补充道：“那些游荡在火山口的人在砍伐完洞穴里面的木材后，就会骚扰那里的动物。但是一旦他们丢下他们手中的木材，就会找到来时的路。”

鬼怪之说站不住脚

　　虽然这座火山进入休眠期，但是当地居民仍说，火山洞里面还有一些炽热区域，蒸汽喷嘴会不时给这些区域注满水蒸气。过有一个传说同样神乎其神：这座火山口的最新神秘之处是一把会飞行的伞，每当有雨时，这种伞就会出现。但是还没有人知道雨后这把伞的去处。卡木吉说：“下雨时，就有一个看起来像伞的巨大的不明物，它似乎想为火山口遮挡住雨水，但是一旦雨小的时候，它就会消失。”

　　由于这个地方困住了很多游客，当地居民十分担心他们的小孩。悬崖四周没有护栏，因此对在这个地方附近玩耍的孩子来说是个危险。撒拉·玛尼娅说：“我们担心我们孩子的安全，特别是没有人看管他们的时候。”

　　梅南加伊火山口发生的所谓“怪事”引起了一些社会学家和科学家的注意，但他们到当地调查后发现，这些“怪事”并没有什么特别之处，很多都是以诈传诈，经不起推敲。其实，非洲是一块古老的大陆，很多地方科技落后，鬼怪之说特别盛行，有些甚至成为当地文化重要组成部分。当地人相信这些鬼怪的故事情有可愿，外地游客不妨当作传说听一听，可是，如果也象当地人一样信以为真，那就未免太可笑了。

Kenya has a名叫梅南加伊the crater, pit lush trees, is the local natural wonders. However, despite the volcano has Meinanjiayi quiet and stifling the wonders of the local people think that the evil wizard attached to its top, because in recent years, frequent pit some of the puzzling thing, by the local More people-more Xiehu. Well, this mysterious What are the big pit »

Crater called "the dead"

Locals know that this often occurred inside the Tai Hang some bizarre things, living in the vicinity of the boys they still Yuanyi Mao said this was the "Phantom" surrounded the visit here to stop the risk of play. Some people really a return to no longer. Thus, rumors everywhere, many local people said that if someone entered the pit, the evil wizard in the crater have many beautiful around pulling up the wall, then people will be trapped and their confusion things north and south.

Some people lost their lives in this, there are also some people mysterious disappearance, but no one has been living, not dead body. Of course, some people die because of accidents, some were proved to be committed suicide. However, this crater is still continuing to attract hundreds of curious people came here to explore. Accompanied by tour guides and visitors to them on some of the tourists here very shocked by the strange things, get some income.

The volcanic eruption took place in a large pit of Wonders sounds very terrible, of course, is also puzzled by these stories, true or false difficile. Some people get lost in the pit, unable to find the direction to go home, even in a few hours after they were found the local people, we can not explain how he had actually lost. Local residents say: these things that many people do not believe it, but here really happened so many strange things.

Local residents brought the place known as "the devil", because according to their understanding of this place by the evil wizard's control, otherwise how to explain the strange things happened here » Of course, no one knows the name of this crater the origin, but local people said that Tanzania is the name of the language in a phrase, meaning "to the dead."

Have reason to believe that the name in Tanzania is the meaning of the words of the dead, as the fratricidal Africans in the 19th century, many of them to die here. Even if this pit in the war between the tribes can still unable to explain this the strange things happened here.

"Meinanjiayi" the name of the second meaning of "devils residence." And "the dead" compared to the origin of the name more clearly, it relates to have lived here a mysterious tribal stories.

Is satisfied that the local residents: "The crater's voice sometimes sounds like a cow in heat call. But there are still some hot pit area, pit animals, but they are obviously not the fire, according to non-local people will This must be inferred here that lived in the devil, here are the fire ignited the devil. "

Last year, a person has been grazing near the crater, although very early on that he is very familiar with the terrain along, but where the fans or the road.

Tai Hang is a quiet and by the

Although there are so many sensational stories in the fire cave presents religious believers who provides a benefit of their prayers and fasting quiet environment. Of course, from time to time and reported his followers committed suicide in the news here, including the two Catholic priests Zhuangjin this dormant extinct, submarine volcano in a life Guixi.

Is satisfied that this incident took place in November last year, when a Catholic priest jumped into his car, he dashed to the only 900 meters away from the fire caves. He said: "He aimed at that plummets to a point-a boost, during which there is no pause, after a few seconds, and the remaining is only a heap of twisted shell of the car and lost his life in the body."

Ghosts will be the protection of the environment »

But still pilgrims gathered here to pray. Local "banner" encountered a reporter from Kakameijia to Paul Wa Linge, he stayed inside the cave to pray for nearly two weeks of fasting. He said that this place is simply too good, and here I can live in the submerged hostility to come into contact with a person's inner soul.

He added: "Whenever I pray this time, I feel very close from God. Here indeed is a mapping and reflect on the personal life of a good place." He does not believe any ghosts here, he haunted them As a product of imagination of people rich. He said: "I often here late at night to pray to the time, never to see the local people are talking about things."

But 69-year-old Ximeng Ka-Kyrgyzstan continues to believe that here is a demon pit. He said that in the sowing period, they will be in the crater of the southern tip of ploughing, followed on the kinds of wheat and corn, but the crops will soon be ghosts confiscated. He added: "The things happened too fast, you will see some ghosts and harvest crops the scene, but the near panic situation on the harvest ended, and the land and did not return to the original species of crops Luancao the proliferation of state, Then ghosts will also disappear. "

Card-Kat recalled that these ghosts have in the 1960s are still at the bottom of the crater in large-scale agricultural production. He asserted: "We are now seeing the ghosts of the agricultural labor in small scale, they live in the bottom of the crater, and not as crazy 40 years ago as labor." He said that these ghosts responsible for the capture of mankind, and then in Hell They hid. However, these ghosts can only arrest those who seek to undermine the crater fauna of the ecological damage. He added: "Those loitering in the crater in the felling of timber inside the cave End, there would be harassment of animals. But once they left their hands of the wood, will find the road to."

Ghosts of that untenable

Although this into the dormant volcano, but local residents still said that the fire inside the caves there are still some hot regions, steam nozzle from time to time to fill these regional water vapor. The same Shenhuqishen a legend: The crater of the latest mystery of the flight will be an umbrella, whenever the rain, this umbrella will appear. But no one knows after the rain the umbrella of this place. Kyrgyzstan-card said: "When it rains, it looks like a huge umbrella of the unknown, it seems to want to crater blocked rain, but once the rain when the small, it will disappear."

Because this place a lot of trapped tourists, local residents are worried about their children. No barrier around the cliff, so to play in this place near the children is dangerous.撒拉玛尼娅said: "We worry about our children's safety, especially no one to look after their time."

Meinanjiayi crater in the so-called "strange things" led to some sociologists and scientists attention, but they went to the local investigation found that these "strange" and not what is special about, many of which are to bluff-bluff, Can not withstand scrutiny. In fact, Africa is an ancient continent, where many technological backwardness, ghosts of that particular prevalent, and some even become an important part of local culture. Ghosts of the local people believe that these stories may wish to have intelligence, foreign visitors may wish to listen to as a legend, but, if also the same as the locals believed, it would be too ridiculous.
