Sounds and monsters (Uwan, Betobeto-san, Azukiarai, etc.)

Since around Friday, June 26, 2020, there have been reports of mysterious noises being heard coming from a valley in a place called Jianqiang Village in Guizhou Province, China.

It sounds like a cow mooing, but it is not clear where it is coming from, and there is a local theory that it may be the roar of a dragon.

It's a mysterious sound that I don't know where it's coming from.Apocalyptic SoundIt seems like a kind of.

Apocalyptic Sound is a phenomenon that has occurred intermittently since around 2011 in various parts of the world, including Ukraine, Denmark, Belarus, Canada, the UK, Indonesia, and Japan, and its name comes from an apocalyptic myth recounted in the Book of Revelation in the New Testament.

The true nature of this mysterious sound is unclear, and some theories suggest it is the roar of aliens, UMA, monsters, or Godzilla. However, since earthquakes often occur in the areas where the sound is heard, it is also said to be a sign of impending natural disaster.

In fact, a magnitude 4.5 earthquake occurred in the same Guizhou province in China on July 2nd.

Sound-related monsters

There have been many mysterious sounds related to this phenomenon since ancient times.

There are many monsters that only make noise and never show their faces.

"Woah" is a monster that suddenly scares people by making a "Waaaah" noise when they pass near the old mansion.

It is a monster that only cries "Waaah!" and no one has ever seen it.

"Sticky" is a yokai that follows you when you walk down a street at night, making sticky footsteps.

Here too, you cannot see it, only hear its footsteps and sense its presence. It is said that if you say, "Mr. Sticky, come ahead," the sound of its footsteps following you will stop.

"Shizukamochi (Quiet rice cake)" is also a monster that makes only noise. In the middle of the night, a sound like a thumping sound like mochi flour being pounded can be heard from afar, and legend has it that anyone who hears this sound will become wealthy.

"Kaibukibo" is a monster that makes a sound like a conch shell and no one has ever seen it, and no one knows where it is.

"Furusoma" appears in the mountains and there is the sound of a tree falling, but when you go there, there is nothing there. It is said to be a monster that makes such strange voices and noises. Its true identity is said to be the spirit of a woodcutter who lost his life in the mountains.

"Azuki bean washing" is a yokai that appears with the sound of grinding azuki beans, "Shoki Shoki," and the song, "Shall we grind azuki beans, or should we grab people and eat them, shoki shoki..." Sometimes it will appear, but in most cases it can only be heard and not seen.

When I hear a song coming from nowhere, I can hear the overseas song "Siren"or"Lorelei" There may be something in common.

Sirens are creatures with the upper body of a human woman and the lower body of a bird or fish that lure sailors with song and music, luring them to their islands or pulling them into rocks or shallows, causing their ships to be wrecked.

Physics and monsters

PhysicistTorahiko Teradateeth,"Mysterious thoughts"The mysterious sound phenomenon that is said to occur in Urado Bay, Kochi Prefecture,Jean of Pregnancy" and speculates that the rumbling phenomenon may be "Jean," as the area is prone to earthquakes.

The strange sound heard in Guizhou Province, China, mentioned at the beginning of this article may have been a precursor to an earthquake, so it can be said that there is a strong connection between strange sounds and natural phenomena.

It is said that in Japan, a Nankai Trough earthquake or an earthquake directly beneath the capital could occur at any time.

If you hear a strange sound, it may be a sign of an earthquake.
