The White River Monster
Arkansas ine mugove wayo wezvisikwa zvipenyu zvinogara mumasango nemakungwa. Nzira yedu yekuchema inotitora ichienda kumusoro kuchamhembe kweGwenga 67 kusvika kuguta duku reNewport, Arkansas. Newport ine shanduro ye Loch Ness Monster iyo inogamuchirwa zvikuru sechinhu chaicho chaicho. IWhite River Monster kunyange ine mhuka yake yekuchengetedza.
Kubva munenge muna 1915 kusvika munenge muna 1924, vagari vemuNewport vakashuma vachiona imwe nyanga iri muWhite River.
Ichi chinyorwa, chakanzi "Whitey", chakatsanangurwa senyoka-yakafanana uye yakareba mamita makumi matatu pakureba. Whitey chaizvoizvo yakanga yakajeka. Vagari vati vanozopedza masikati uye vacharamba kwemaminitsi gumi kana gumi vasati vanyangarika zvakare. Mazana evanhu vaiti vanomuona.
Zvapupu mumakore makumi maviri nemasere zvakashuma kuti yakaita runyararo rukuru uye rune ruvara rutsvuku. Mishumo yakawanda yakaitwa nevabati vehove uye vanogara pamharadzano rwizi.
Whitey akanyangarika pane zvishoma, nekutarisa kwekuona, asi akadzoka muna 1937 apo muridzi weminda aiti aona chikara. Akati akaona chimwe chinhu pamusoro pepamusoro chakanga chakareba mamita gumi nemana uye chakafara mamita mana kana mashanu. Akafunga kuti akaona chikara kanoverengeka mushure meizvi, asi aisambogona kutarisa ukuru kana kuti chaiye chaiyo.
Nezviitiko izvi zvitsva, vagari vanovakwa nemambure ekubata Whitey. Vanhu vakatsvaga vakamutsvaga. Havana kumbowana chinhu uye Whitey akashaya zvakare kwemakumi emakore.
Muna 1971, varume vaviri vakataura kuti vakaona zvitatu zvitatu pamatope emvura ane matope uye nzvimbo apo miti nemiti zvakange zvavhuniwa nekuda kwekuraira kwechikara. Zvisikwa zvacho zvakatotorwa mifananidzo muna 1971 naClocece Warren weWhite River Lumber Company . Iyi ndiyo chete mifananidzo yatine Whitey.
Icho chinyorwa chaicho chaicho chemhuka here? Arkansas veparamende vakaita sevanofunga saizvozvo.
Chikamu chinonakidza chechirevo ichi chakaitika muna 1973. Arkansas State Legislator, kunyanya Arkansas State Senator Robert Harvey, yakasika White River Monster Refuge pedyo neWhite River iyo iri pedyo ne Jacksonport State Park. Vakagadzirisa chisarudzo chakaita kuti zvibvumirwe "kushungurudza, kuuraya, kutsika, kana kukuvadza White River Monster paanenge ari pamba." Icho ichi chiratidzo chokuvapo kwake kana kungoedza kuunganidza vatashanyi here? Whitey ndeimwe yezvishoma zvidziviriro dzenharaunda dzemaguta.
Sezvo Whitey akaonekwa saizvozvo nguva dzose pakutanga, nyanzvi dzakawanda dzinofunga kuti kune chokwadi chiripo kune rondedzero iyi. Kuonekwa kwekutanga kwakange kune imwe mhuka inozivikanwa iyo isingawaniki muA Arkansas. Gare gare kuonekwa kwave kwakangove kwakagadzirisa nyoka (vanogona kuwana yakakura zvikuru) iyo yakanga yakanyanyisa mumafungiro eaiona nekuda kwezvakaitika.
Biologist inotenda Whitey yakanga iri chisimbiso chejovu chakakanganisika kuti nenzira imwe neimwe yakasimuka zvisina kururama ndokuguma muNewport. Vamwe vanhu vemunharaunda vanofunga kuti yakanga iri chirongwa chakakosha chekucherechedzwa nevarimi munzvimbo. Hapana anoziva zvechokwadi.
Chikara hachina kuonekwa mumakore achangopfuura asi vazhinji vevanhu vanogara vakakomberedza White River vachiri kutenda kuti aripo.
Vamwe vanofunga kuti akafa nokuti rwizi rwacho rwakanyanyisa. Iwe unofanira kuzviwanira iwe pachako. Kune zvakawanda zvingangoyeuchidza mhiri kweWhite River (T-shirts, nezvimwewo) naizvozvo kunyange kana iwe usingaoni nyama chaiye, unogona kuwana T-shati inoti iwe une ushingi hwakakwana kumutsvaga.
Kana iwe uchida kutora rutsoka rweHed Rock, unofanirwa kushanyira Old State House Museum. The Old State House yaiva Arkansas yekutanga yekuvakwa kweguta uye yekare yekare capitol kumavirira kweMupata wa Mississippi. Ichokwadi kuti haunted! Zvinonzi zvinotinhwa nemweya mumwechete. Iyo mweya wekuti ndiani mubvunzo. Arkansas yezvematongerwe enyika yakasvibiswa kuva yakasviba, saka nhamba ipi neipi yevanhu inogona kunge isinganzwisisiki nechetemo.
Tine zviyeuchidzo zviviri.
Zvakakosha kucherechedza kuti chirevo chepamutemo kubva kuHarare State House ndechokuti hakuna mweya. Ndakataurira kune vakawanda vemuzinda uye kunyange vashomanana vashandi vanhu vanoti izvi zvingangove zvisingabvumirwi, kubva pane zvinyorwa. Izvo zvataurwa, iwe haufaniri hazvo iwe usingafaniri kutya kushanyira Statehouse. Iko musimamende huru uye kutarisa kunonakidza kuA Arkansas. Izvi zvinongonakidza chete.
Imwe yevanhu vanofungidzirwa kuti inonyadzisa ndeyeJohn Wilson, uyo aimbova Mutungamiriri weNzvimbo uye nyaya yeimwe yezvikwata zvakakurumbira zveA Arkansas. Zvimwe zvezvenhau zve duel zvakavharwa, asi zvaiva, sezvo vakawanda vaishushikana, mhedziso yezvematongerwe enyika.
Panguva yemusangano muna 1837, Wilson akatonga mumiririri, Major Joseph J. Anthony kuti ave "kunze kwekuita". Anthony naWilson havana kufambidzana. Vaya vaviri vakanga vachinjana mazwi vasati vamboitika. Anthony akatanga kumurwisa Wilson uye akamuvhundusa.
Varume vaviri vakapinda muhondo yekudzivirira uye Anthony akaurawa naWilson, kunyange zvazvo mumwe mumiriri akakanda chigaro kwavari kuti avasununguke. Wilson akaregererwa pamhosva dze "kuregererwa kuponda". Zvematongerwe enyika zvakanga zvakaoma.
Zvinonzi mweya waWilson wakaratidzwa kusuruvara achifamba-famba makoridhe eAle State State akapfekedza shati-jasi.
Vashandi vekuvaka vakave vachiona kuonekwa kwake.
Asi, mweya inonzi Wilson zvechokwadi here? Vamwe vashandi vane pfungwa yakasiyana.
Muna 1872, Erisha Baxter akaziviswa Gavhuna weA Arkansas mushure mekusarudzwa kusarudzo. Muvengi wake, Joseph Brooks, akataura kuti akanga atohwa kunze kwekukunda. Makore makumi manomwe nemanomwe gare gare, Brooks akaita sangano reHarare House. Akakanda Baxter kunze kwebasa uye akagadzira cannon pamusoro peHurumende House yakadonha kuti aodza mwoyo kurwiswa. Iko kanamoni ichiripo imomo. Gavhuna akadzingwa akatamira pasi mumugwagwa ndokugadzira imwe hofisi, achiita hurumende yake pachake achipikisana ne Brooks. Yakanga ichangopera nguva pfupi Mutungamiri Grant asati apinda uye akadzorerwa kuA Arkansas. Baxter akatumidzwa kuti gavhuna akakodzera uye Brooks akamanikidzwa kusiya basa.
Vamwe vashandi vanotenda kuti Brooks achiri kugumbuka pamusoro pokumanikidzwa kubva kuhofisi yake. Kunyangwe murufu, anozvitenda pachake mutongi akakodzera. Zvichida iye ndiye anoramba achitsvoda Old State House.
The Brooks-Baxter hondo ndeimwe yezvinoitika zvakakurumbira mu Arkansas. Zvingava zvakakodzera chaizvo kana Brooks akaramba achiramba kusiya imba yake muhomwe.
Fungidzira, musikana muduku ari munzira inoenda kune chikwata anourawa mune imwe njodzi inotyisa yemotokari. Ndinofunga kuti nzvimbo imwe neimwe ine shanduro yavo yeiyo nhoroondo yemuguta. Ndinofunga kuti guta rose rinopika ravo ndezvechokwadi. Ndizvo zvakafanana neA Arkansas. Iyi mweya yekuona inotiendesa kumugwagwa mukuru 365 kumaodzanyemba kwe Little Rock. Kumbira chero ani anogara kunharaunda iyi uye ivo vachapika kuti vanoziva mutengesi ndeyechokwadi.
Maererano nenyaya yacho, gore negore rakapoteredza husiku hwemusika musikana wechidiki mumucheka mutsvuku (dzimwe nguva jasi rinonzi rakasvibiswa uye mukadzi akavharwa neropa uye akarohwa) anomisa mutyairi we Highway 365.
Akaonekwa kune rumwe rutivi runoenda kumaodzanyemba kwe Little Rock ndokupfuura nemataundi eWatson, Redfield uye kunyange kusvika Pine Bluff asi nguva yakawanda yaakawana pane bhiriji. Anoudza mutyairi asingafungi kuti ave ari pangozi uye anoda kutasva kumba.
Muchidimbu, vamwe vashoma vemafu vanomuperekedza kuenda kumusha kuti vawane kuti pavanosvika kumba iye akakumbira kuti adzikwe, haasisiri mumotokari. Akanyangarika zvachose. Munhu wacho anogara achivhiringidzika kuti aende kugogodza pamusuo weimba yaakatorwa. Munhu anogara achizarura musuo uye anotaura kuti mwana wake / mwanasikana wake akaurayiwa usiku husiku uye usiku hwose hunobuda kubva ipapo, ave nemumwe munhu akasiyana naye achimuunza kumba. Imwe misiyano iri munyaya ino inotaura kuti musikana wacho akasiya jasi mumotokari yemotokari asingazivi uye paakagogodza pamukova, akapfeka mavoko, amai vakaputsika misodzi vachidanidzira, "Icho chaiva jasi remukunda wangu".
Anogutsikana? Pamwe, mamwe ehupenyu nyaya dzeA Arkansas anonyanya kutendesa kwandiri. Uyu musikana anoenda kune imwe imba mune imwe guta duku duku nguva dzose pandinonzwa. Dzimwe nguva anourawa pamusungo, dzimwe nguva achienda uye dzimwe nguva achingoenda kumba nezuva. Handina kumbobvira ndawana chero ruzivo pamusoro pemunhu wese anonyatsoti ndiye mhandara yemhuri yechidiki kana chimwe chinhu pamusoro pekufa kwake.
Kana iwe une rumwe ruzivo rwakajeka pamusoro penyaya iyi, rega ndizive. Sezvo zvakadaro, handisi kutenga nemwoyo wose. Zvinotaridzika sekuti vabereki vemusikana vangave vauya kunzvimbo yepamusoro iye zvino.
Kunyange zvakadaro, handisi kuzobatwa ndichikwira mubhiri iroro bhiriji usiku hunova nerima uye dutu!
Ndinoziva zvaunofunga, havasi vose vanoita pianist zvishoma zvishoma here? Uyu akasiyana, vimba neni. Tora uende kuU.S. Highway 67 uye uende kuSearcy kuti unoshanyira Harding University, uye mweya unopisa mahedheni ayo matsvene. Kuti uone mweya, iwe unofanirwa kuenda kumatare emimhanzi uye chivako chemimhanzi.
Nhoroondo, nhoroondo iyi inoita seyakarurama. Iyo mweya inonzi "Galloway Gertie," nokuti Harding yakanga ichiri Galloway College yevakadzi apo Gertrude akaenda.
Galloway yaiva imwe yenzvimbo dzakanakisisa muSouth, uye Gertrude waiva mhanzi mukuru.
Pane maBhaibheri maviri enyaya iyi yandakanzwa. Iyo yakagamuchirwa yakawanda inotevera. Humwe usiku Gertrude akanga achidzoka kwaari dorm kubva musi. Akamuudza usiku hwakanaka ndokuenda kukamuri yepamusoro kuimba yake muGooden Hall. Akanzwa ruzha mukati mefambisi ndokuenda kundozviona uye zvimwe akawira kurufu rwake. Zvinonzi ropa rinoputika rinomutsa vamwe vasikana uye rimwe rakaona rima rima rinomhanya richibva panzvimbo, asi kusvibiswa hakuna kumboonekwa. Gertie akanga akapfeka nguo chena, yakasakara, sevakadzi venguva iyo vaiwanzoita zuva, paakawa. Dzimwe nhau dzinoti akavigwa muchipfeko ichi.
Yakanga isiri nguva refu mushure mekufa kwaGertrude kuti vadzidzi vanotanga kuona blonde mumucheka weaishi mufambisi yefambisi kana muimba. Vamwe vakatotaurira kuti vaigona kunzwa kuputika kwemupfeko wake sezvaaifamba muimba iyo vachiedza kurara.
Kushungurudza kwakawana Galloway muna 1934. Gooden Hall yakaparadzwa muna 1951. Hurding Administration Building ndiyo ikozvino Gooden Hall yaimbova. Mukana wacho ndeyekuti vakashandisa zvidhina kubva kuGooden Hall kuvaka imba yekugara yevakadzi yaPattie Cobb uye Claude Rogers Lee Music Center.
Gertie akafarira nzvimbo yemimhanzi.
Vadzidzi vakadzoka kuti vanokwanisa kunzwa piano isina simba iri kutamba zvishoma, kana kubata zvidzitiro zvemupfeko wake mutsvuku uye kunzwa shanje yekufamba kwake mberi. Nhoroondo inotaura kuti boka revarume rakasarudza kupedza usiku muimba yemimhanzi kunoratidza kuti Gertie akanga asipo. Vakanga vakapfigirwa mukati mekuchengeteka, uye kuchengeteka zvakatarisa chivako kuti vaone kuti hakuna mumwe munhu akanga arimo. Nguva pfupi mushure mekunge vasara vari voga, vakatanga kutanga piano inoshamisa. Vakatya, ivo vakadana kuchengeteka, asi vasati vachengeteka vangauya vakaunganidza ushingi kuti vaone. Sezvavakaswedera pedyo nenzwi, kutamba kwakamira uye hakuna mumwe akawanikwa muimba.
Imba yekare yeLee haisisiri kushandiswa sechivako chemimhanzi, sezvo imba yeReynolds yakavakwa. Hakuchina pianos muimba. Gertie kuonekwa kwakaderera, asi iye achiri kumativi ose.
Mumwe mudzidzisi anorondedzera:
Ndiri kuisa zvigadzirwa mukarekare kumushure, uye ndinonzwa mimhanzi. Ndinonzwa kumhanyira kwepiyano uye iri inzwi rakanaka romukadzi uyu. Zvose zvandaifunga ndanga, 'munhu, iyo yakanaka kwazvo,' asi ipapo ndakarangarira kuti hapasisina pianos muimba, uye ini ndoga.
Imwe, isina kutendeka, nhau ndeyokuti muma1930, musikana wechidiki ane basa rinokurudzira akaenda kuHuring.
Akakurumbira mumimhanzi. Akadanana nomumwe mudzidzi akaoma uye akaoma akaurayiwa nenzira yakaipisisa mutsaona yemotokari nguva pfupi mushure mekunge vasangana. Akanga akaora mwoyo zvikuru uye aipedza nguva yega yega yezuva iri padhoro rechitatu reimba yemimhanzi ichidza piyano. Gare gare mune semester imwechete iye akaurayiwa, iyewo akafa. Nhoroondo inotaura kuti yakafa nemwoyo wakaputsika. Nguva pfupi mushure mekufa kwake, vadzidzi vakaudza mimhanzi yepiano yekunzwa kubva pasi rechitatu reimba yekuimba. Pose pavaienda kundobvunzisisa, vaisazowana munhu ipapo. Vazhinji vaidavira kuti ndiye musikana wechidiki akazodza mukadzi wake kubva kumakuva.
Iyi nyaya yakaudzwa muHaunted Halls yeYiv: Ghosts yeSouth Colleges neMayunivhesiti. Zvisinei, kuvhundusa vakuru vakuru vakange vambosangana vakange vanzwa chete nezvaGertie.
Imwe yunivhesiti inonyadzisa muA Arkansas ndiyo Henderson State University muArkadelphia. Henderson uye muvakidzani weOugatha Baptist University vave vari zvikoro zvinopesana. Izvo kukakavadzana ndicho chikonzero cheyi nhoroondo dzomuguta. Kunyangwe muRugan Legends, chikoro chimwe nechimwe chinouudza zvishoma zvakasiyana.
Kubva Henderson ndiyo iyo inofanirwa, tinozotanga nehurukuro yavo.
Nhau yacho inotidzorera kumashure e1920, nguva apo mhirizhonga dzebhora dzaive mabhizinesi makuru.
Nhoroondo yacho inotaura kuti mudhidhi weAbeachita, Joshua, akanga achifambidzana nemunhu mutsva muHenderson, Jane. Vakanga vachinyanyisa murudo, zvisinei nokuti chokwadi chakuti Jane aibva kuHenderson akazova mutengo wekutengesa kwaJosh.
Dzimwe shanduro dzenyaya dzinoti shamwari dzake dzinodheererwa uye dzinomunyengedza kuti zvive pasi. Akazopedzisira aputsa naye uye pakupedzisira akaenderera mberi kuti awane itsva, yakagamuchirwa yeAusachita girl. Dzimwe shanduro dzinoti akasangana nemusikana wacho uye akatanga kuputsa naJane nekuda kwayo. Chero nzira, Ouachita ndiye anonyatsoparara munyaya yacho. Vaya Ouachita varume vari jerks, vakarurama?
Kunze kwekuti, kana Ouachita ataura, ndiJane uyo akanga ari Ouachita freshman naJoshua uyo aiva mutambi webhola kubva kuHenderson. Vaya vaHenderson vakomana vechokwadi.
Vavengi vechokwadi vanokwikwidza kunyange kana vachiudza nhoroondo dzemaguta.
Chero zvazviri, nyaya yacho (chero inguva) inotaura kuti Jane paakaona kuti aifambidzana nemusikana mutsva uye achimuendesa kumusha, akanga ane mwoyo wakaputsika.
Akaenda kwaari akapfeka doro uye akapfekedza chigadziko chakapfeka uye chifukidziro, akafamba achienda kunzvimbo yakanyura pamusoro peWorachita River ndokukwira kusvika pakufa kwake.
Iye zvino gore rimwe nerimwe panguva yeHome Homecoming Week, mweya waJane, akapfekedzwa mumasikati ane chifukidziro, zvinonzi kune Hunterson College. Akave achionekwa achifamba nekubuda kwaSmith Hall, imba itsva yevakadzi yekugara uye nechepakati pekambani.
Kana unoita vadzidzi vanoti aripo ari kutsvaga mukadzi akaba murume waaida kubva kwaari (vanasikana vaHenderson) nevakomana vakadheerera uye vakaseka Joshua. Henderson vadzidzi
Vadzidzi veHenderson vanoti achiri kutarisira kuenda kunogara naJosh.
Haaiti zvakawanda. Vadzidzi vanodaro vachiona kushaya simba kwakasviba, kunzwa kuchema, kunzwa maziso anoti kana kutonhora kunononoka. Haana chakanaka, kunze kwekuti aona kuti iwe unofanana nemusikana akabata Josh, ndinofungidzira.
Vanonyatsotaurira shanduko yenyaya yacho kune vatsva, saka vadzidzi vakawanda paHenderson vakanzwa.
Nhau inonakidza pawebsite yeHenderson inoti:
Nhoroondo ye "Lady in Black" yakatanga muna 1912, ichitevera kubata kwevadzidzi veHenderson rinonzi Nell Page, uyo anonzi akasika nyaya yacho. Maererano nenyaya, Lady muBlack akafamba-famba maimba muimba yevasikana vachifanotaura kuti ndiani aizokunda Hondo yeRavine. Kana iye akapfeka rima, raireva kukunda kweReddies; kana akapfekedzwa muchena, kukunda kwaOriachita kwakagara kwafanotaurwa. Mushure mekufa kwaNell achiri muduku, nyaya yacho inofunga kuti yaiva mweya wake uyo aifamba muimba.
