+ Once all the information described above began to write history. Initially a draft that was made slowly and after several readings was polished to be the definitive work that is posted on the blog.
all started just two years ago. The story got media course from the first images captured by a video amateur who was wandering around the area of \u200b\u200bthe event.
On the morning of July 28, 2007, a young firmatense, which today no one knows their identity, who from about 70 meters away could capture the movement of the mysterious hammock, which swung not only alone, but moved as if someone was playing.
The story goes that the place is visited by the spirit of a boy who died twenty years ago ... No wind, not even a slight breeze, however, the swing moves. Beside him, two hammocks are adamant in their places. But the tip moves in a clear, almost as if someone was rocking it. But there is nobody there. The mystery, which keeps people in suspense Firmat, going from just over two years with some interruptions in the middle.
The novelty beyond the borders of the city, state, and even the country, becoming a story with international scope. Seen and considering this situation did not hesitate to quickly get in contact with a resident of that city to tell me their experience.
July 27, 2009, 10:00 hours. Agree to meet at the home of Carolina Pérez, a psychology student currently living in the city of Rosario, but is originally from Firmat. The meeting took place in Rosario in the apartment he shares with several friends. Carolina, a girl half texture and somewhat introverted personality does the interview start something stuck and without much data. After a while you have been talking, which I think she already stopped thinking of the recorder that lay our conversation began to emerge some interesting data for my research. Carolina tells me that he witnessed the phenomenon over the weekend after the first images were captured. She had gone to visit his family as they normally did every weekend, but with the difference that this time, decided to go with several friends at the Plaza Manuel Belgrano, located in the south of Firmat, more specifically on Columbus Boulevard in Antarctica Argentina and Route 93 in the La Patria, to verify with their own eyes the phenomenon that talked the whole country. My interviewee noted that arriving at the site was impressed to see the swing to move from zero. The other stopped again and again, but this began to move alone. Arguably, had her own life. She states clearly that the phenomenon is inexplicable to the naked eye. When telling your story rubs her hands, suggesting a degree of nervousness.
10:40 pm the same day, come home to continue gathering information from the Internet as the archive of the city of Rosario is closed due to national health emergency. "Firmat touches the mystery of a hammock that moves one" ... "The craziest Firmat hammocks than ever" ... "The spirit of a baby's hammock moves the square." "The mystery of the hammock moves alone" are some of the many titles that I am in different media in their online versions.
When this phenomenon started the explanations given by the witnesses were closer to scientific issues, such as: magnetic fields, wind speed and direction. Even the plot of a curious neighbor made that comes close to the square with a compass to detect any nearby magnetic field. Over the days began to emerge over other hypotheses may close to the mystical and paranormal. History says that the spirit of a child who had died near the place during the 80's, wandered by and played with the swings. According to the study by Dr. Jorge Bustamante, Argentina University professional Parapsychology and alternative therapies, the mysterious hammocks would move alone because of magic. Carlos Torres, mayor of the city, this is not an accurate result.
While this phenomenon has been started, the hammock was suddenly stolen to be sold later through a website. City staff is responsible for replacing it in the square. Everyone thought I would never move, but suddenly returned to the ring.
What really struck me interviewed, Carolina Perez, was to see that despite the hammocks swinging so fast in no time touching. This would fit, according to experts, in what is called "floating."
Meanwhile, Belgrano Square is transformed into a kind of walking tour of different places where curious, come to register the hammock in motion.
July 28, 2009, marks two years of the phenomenon. For my part I decided to meet the Psychic Julieta Rodriguez as he had agreed a week ago. I went by bus to the north of the city of Rosario. She waited in a bungalow in the neighborhood Alberdi. Just entered the house I saw a lot of objects from a Santeria. Few developments provided the parapsychologist. He spoke of spirits and paranormal powers ... nothing that we had not heard before.
More than two years after the initiation of this phenomenon, the hammock is still moving, although it suffered some interruptions in between.
A new research by the group says Vision Ovni not moved by supernatural or paranormal reasons. For its part a group of researchers from the Technical University of Rosario, arrived on the scene for several studies. She felt the movement of the swing was due to changes in soil structure, while recognizing that it was a long shot. Unfortunately did not have the fate of thousands of tourists who visited the city of Firmat. During his stay, the swing did not budge. Rosario had to become one with some soil samples.
After several days of gathering information and interviewing people soaked in the case had not yet enough information to bring closure to my research. For this reason I contacted Diego Vázquez, a journalist from the city of Rosario, who could meet and see about this phenomenon. Perhaps he could help solve the mystery.
July 30, 2009, another cold afternoon in the city. We agreed to meet in a bar in downtown Rosario. Arrived on the scene with some anticipation, and a time to enter another look Diego, wearing an overcoat, scarf and a hat which made it very difficult to recognize. I made a sign to place me away so easily. As it was a great childhood friend, we greet with a quick hug and I asked the waiter to bring us two large coffees and croissants to recover the heat and be comfortable at the time of the interview. Diego told me he was fortunate to travel to Firmat and bring out the swing in motion. I said clearly: "... beyond what you can say or not, the motion of the hammock is real ..." "... the total explanation I have none, I have personally achieved with the hammock moves after each draw its own conclusions .... " We talked long and hard for a while, where no shortage memories of our childhood and high school. After a couple of hours we greet, we agreed to get together next week and no more to say I left the bar thinking about what I had said.
July 31, 2009. I am writing the last lines of my research. Having read dozens of articles, research, and have interviewed some people involved in the phenomenon, yet it remains a mystery. I think that basically are the same Firmat residents who want this to remain in the nebula and that the real causes are not brought to light. I think I made a mistake when trying to find out more, on a phenomenon that from the beginning was listed as a "mystery." I let each of you my writing to take and continue my research, if you are interested. For my part has been completed.
