Lightning As A 'Photographer' - Mysterious Appearance Of Ghostly Images On Windowpanes Explained
Online, June 8, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Nature has always played marvellous tricks on humankind. Imprints of photograph-like images on human skin, window-panes, glasses etc have been reported in many places across the globe, but the cause of such imprints has been a mystery till now. Chidambaram Ramesh has finally revealed the mystery behind it. He demonstrates with more than fifty instances where it happened that when men or animals have been struck by lightning, peculiar impressions have been left upon their bodies, which are exact impression of some adjacent objects, persons, paintings etc in the vicinity of the stroke. The imprint is so accurate, and sometimes the exact colours of the original object are also imprinted in such a way, that it makes any common observer believe it to be a photographic replica. Amazing as it may seem, lightning sometimes turns out to be a good photographer!
His book revisits this curious phenomenon, known as "keraunography," after more than a century - especially at a time when science is perplexed to explain the causes of spontaneous appearance of ghostly images occasionally found on window panes, or the recent miraculous appearance of Virgin Mary's image on the window of a hospital in Malaysia. Crosses imprinted on human bodies, picture of crucification on a man's back, Chinese inscription on the arm of a girl, image of a cow, pug dog, black cat on the body of the lightning victims, etc are some of the very interesting instances cited in the book. This is a thorough study of the subject, written in non-technical language for the layman with a scientific inclination or just curiosity about nature.
The book is available for sale on Amazon.com (USA & Europe), Lulu.com, and wherever e-books are sold online. A Kindle edition of it is also available. Paperback edition of the book in India is soon to be released by Partridge India, a Penguin Company.
