Some people believe that there are houses which are haunted by ghosts(闹鬼). Perhaps there are, perhaps there aren’t – it’s hard to say. Today we are going to tell you a scientific experiment during which a “ghost”(鬼) is seen. The “ghost” is really an after-image(视觉残留). It is called “Swindle’s Ghost” because the experiment was first done by an American doctor called Swindle. This is how our own experiment was done.

A dark, moonless night was chosen and the curtains were drawn so that no light could enter from outside. Half a dozen people were asked to sit round a table in the middle of a room. A table-lamp was placed in the center of the table. When everyone was seated, the lamp was turned off for ten minutes. Everyone sat in complete darkness and looked towards the lamp till they got quite used to the darkness. They sat perfectly still and kept looking in the same direction. Then the lamp was turned on for exactly one second and then off again. Soon, the whole scene became visible in the darkness. It was a very clear “ghost” which lasted for a few seconds.
