What are the secrets of the unassailable top of the world, and what is known only to tourists who visited it?
The most desirable place for desperate travelers is the summit of Mount Everest, which only few of those who decided to do so can conquer. And some daredevils, having gone into this dangerous campaign, will never return.
From all over the world come to the foot of Everest adventurers. Someone decides to climb only a hundred meters, and someone is ready to overcome all 8848, that from the height of the clouds to admire our Earth and write your name on the short list of conquerors of this mysterious and alluring summit.
The Mystery of the Unbelievers and the Misconceptions of the Conquerors
Beginning the path to the heights, many are attracted by romanticism and the essence of the unknown, but already very fast uninvited guests of the Top of the World understand that romance remains in dreams, and the severe and unfriendly climate of this area makes you tense and focus on a complex and dangerous route.
The truth is that the Everest who are unfaithful and forever left in the snows are many times more numerous than those who managed to reach the summit and come down back victorious. According to the latest data, there are 200 people missing on the route to the highest peak of our Earth, and we will never know the secret of their death.
Ghosts
Many of those who managed to return unscathed from the mysterious Everest, talk about phenomena from the field of fantasy, with which they had to meet in real life.
On the way to the top of the conquerors and tourists, the requests and whispers of otherworldly beings were repeatedly heard in the ringing silence, and ghosts and flickering human shadows came across the snow-white spaces, which horrified the living people. The inhabitants of Nepal, who live in the vicinity of Everest, as well as people participating in expeditions from different countries, have repeatedly confirmed the presence of these mysterious phenomena on the highest mountain of the world.
So, one of the travelers named Pemba Dorje tells that on the way back, at a stop at an altitude of 8 thousand meters, he saw human shadows coming towards him, and more surprising and at the same time frightening were their requests for food. According to the experts of parapsychologists, these undisturbed souls wander the slopes of Everest - their bodies were not found and buried, as expected.
Such stories are not rare. They say that if you listen to the requests of spirits and go to their aid, you can never go back. Nepal's association of climbers is also familiar with these phenomena, so its members scatter rice on the slopes of the mountain, read prayers and set fire to the juniper branches, in order to satisfy and soothe the wandering ghosts.
Moving in time
There is also the assumption that during the passage of the path some climbers move in time. For example, in the mid-seventies of the twentieth century, one of the members of the British expedition, Nick Ascot, claimed that on the way from the fourth to the fifth camp he saw the man following him on the entire route, but no one came after him to the camp after him. In that transition, the terrain was very well seen and, if a person turned in the other direction and went back, it would be visible. However, looking closely, Nick did not see even the traces of another person.
Specialists suggest that this case indicates a possible movement in time, and the British mountaineer saw the conqueror of Sherbo Djanbo, who ascended to the summit of Mount Everest along the identical route, but two years earlier.
Theft of clothes by ghosts
Two more conquerors who went together to the summit of Everest, told how a ghostly shadow stole their things. According to their statements, at an altitude of about 5000 meters at halt, they put their belongings on a rock, and when one of the climbers saw a flashing human shadow, then they both paid attention to their clothes and were shocked: their gloves and sweater were gone.
Skeptics, it is true, argue that all stories with ghosts and strange temporary travelers are but hallucinations as a result of the action of rarefied air and manifestations of mountain sickness. But only those who have visited Everest can confirm or deny everything that happens to a person at the top of the world.
