Activate:Discussing:The Most Mysterious thing I've ever known Have a discussion with your group members and share with each other the most mysterious thing you've ever known or met. Sample 1: I've heard about a mysterious story about the ghost in the Tower of London.On the 12th February 1957 a guardsman came face to face with one of the ghostly residents at the foot of the Salt Tower. It was 3 a.m.when something struck the roof of the sentry-box in which he was sheltering from the rain.Stepping out,he looked up to see what it was,and saw a shapeless white ghost on the top of the tower.He shouted,bringing out the guard captain and the duty warder.They both searched the Tower,but could find nothing. One of the best known ghosts is that of Anne Boleyn,who also lost her head on Tower Green.She is now said to carry her head under her arm on the eve of a death.A sergeant serving with the Artist's Rifles was on duty the night before several spies were due to be executed during the First World War.He claimed that the night before Carl Lody was executed,he saw the ghost of Anne Boleyn in a silk dress and a white ruff. Sample 2: Do people commit suicide listening to music or song This is the story of a song that causes people to commit suicide. Hungarian composer Reszo Seress wrote the song called "Gloomy Sunday",apparently while depressed and during an actual gloomy Sunday,and soon after people started turning up dead. There have been several urban legends regarding the song over the years,mostly involving it being allegedly connected with various numbers of suicides,and radio networks reacting by purportedly banning the song.It is also rumored the music played without lyrics will put the listener into a deep sleep and induce vivid dreams and nightmares.The nightmares usually consist of falling or flying sensations. Activate:Listening:Reincarnation Pre-question: Have you ever had that feeling like deja vu(似曾相识)？How do you explain that?Do you believe in reincarnation(转世)？ Sample 1: Yes,I occasionally have the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced has been experienced in the past.I think,maybe,it is cause by my experience in my past life. Reincarnation is what Hindu's believe in.They believe that their soul has to keep repeating life over and over again until they earn salvation with God. I don't know what other people think but I believe that what you saw in your dream is real and that's how we are living in this world now. Sample 2: According to psychologist,deja vu is caused by a person getting a brief glimpse of an object or situation prior to full conscious perception,resulting in a false sense of familiarity.That's why sometimes we have such feelings. As for the concept of reincarnation,I think it is absurd.There is no proof whatsoever that soul exists or prevails after death and recycles itself by getting into another body
