My name is Professor Boris Kamara Rakoczy. Professor Boris for short. I am head of Supernatural Studies at the Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary. A prestigious Paranormal
Research University based in Budapest since 1635. Being a non-believer
of the supernatural myself and studying the phenomenon of the paranormal
is a double edge sword, even in today's world. You would think by now
that even the most rural of Hungarian would be educated enough to stop
believing in such fantasy creatures like Vampires, Witches, or Ghosts.
But then I would be out of a job.
I no longer teach the history and folklore of the old Hungarian culture
at the school. My job now consists mostly of debunking what people
believe are haunting them. My grant money is paid directly to the
University by the Hungarian Government to finally put an end to Witch
burning, ritual Vampire burials, and Ghostly visitations. Bringing the
Hungarian people into the 19th Century instead of our countrymen
believing in the 16th Century folklore.
It is easy to stop a village from burning a suspected Witch if I reach
the crime scene in time. I can prove that the mass hysteria the
villagers are experiencing over seeing flying creatures is due to the
town's Baker. Scrapping off the mold from his old bread does not
completely clean the bread. What the Baker does not know is,
the colorful mold he sees on the surface of food is just the tip of
what is going on inside. He is trying to make a profit and the
villagers pay by their hallucinations.
When one of the many elderly secluded backwoodsmen apparently die
suddenly and there is a rash of children waking up in the morning with
small looking bite marks afterwards, it is not because the woodsman is
rising from the grave in the middle of the night to feed on sleeping
kids. I can prove that bed bugs are passed along through the school
system from one child to the next.
As far as phantom spirits go, it could be something as simple as having
great eyesight on a very clear and bright day and a person sees for the
first time the little microbes swimming on the fluid covering their
eyes. Before microscopes, people were actually executed for seeing these
microbes on their eyeballs.
Ghost are usually the easiest to debunk with the local villagers.
But not this time.
I saw one myself!
I am in the town of Kiskunfélegyháza where I have witnessed my first true sighting.
My mentor, Professor Liechtenstein, told me he witnessed a ghost
phenomenon back when he first started. He said the only way someone has
ever seen a real ghost is by the lack of clothing on the specter.
We have all seen the pictures of supposed ghost, the way movies depict
ghost, and the way writers describe a ghost to their readers. But
according to Professor Liechtenstein, the clothing a person dies in does
not pass on to the next realm with the deceased. When we die, our
spirit leaves behind all worldly possessions.
So it was quite the shock when I saw a female strolling along the river in her birthday suite.
I do not know what I am going to say to my superiors. They will think I have gone mad.
My next step is to track the specter the first chance I get and see where it leads me.
I will continue this correspondence once I have further evidence.
