Why are there so many stories of "people turning into tigers" in ancient notebooks? What is the truth behind the Di'anmen Temple murder incident?

What is the truth about the "Dry Well Murder Incident" during the reign of Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty? During the locust plague in 1644, locusts actually "encircled people and ate them up"? How did photography become the so-called "spiritualism" in the late Qing Dynasty? Creepy things are not ghosts, all clever tricks will eventually be solved; don't be confused by the riddles, read all the thousands of sails and the road is ordinary. My country's vast ancient notebooks contain a large number of mysterious and strange stories. However, due to the lack of science in ancient times, the ancients often used "ghosts and spirits" as explanations. Beginning in 2015, Beijing Evening News and The Paper have successively launched the column "Notes on Strange Tales", written by the famous scholar Hu Yanyun, who uses modern science combined with historical textual research to make new interpretations of various strange stories in ancient notes. This book selects thirty-two of the articles to reveal for readers the secrets and inside stories that have been concealed for thousands of years, and restore the truth.
