Funny Holidays - Haunted Dance Day

Esotericists are convinced that the essences of the infernal world are invisibly present in people's lives. The appearance of some of them, for example ghosts in ancient castles and estates, strikes terror into the inhabitants and guests of the estates. A young ghost named Casper and other friendly creatures who have become cartoon characters, on the contrary, evoke sympathy and gratitude, because... sometimes they help people. Carlson from the book by Astrid Lindgren, due to his resourcefulness and wit, drives away the thieves who climbed into the attic of the house. A fairy-tale hero with a motor on his back pretends to be a ghost, causing panic and horror among robbers. The adventures of a ghost from a 16th-century castle located in Tennessee formed the basis of the plot of a grotesque comic fairy tale written by Oscar Wilde in 1887. Several films and musicals were made based on the English writer’s work “The Canterville Ghost”. In them, the ghost of Sir Simon and other inhabitants of the castle dance and sing merrily. In the 1990 film Ghost, Demi Moore's character dances with her dead lover, played by Wig Swayze. According to one version, a scene from a mystical melodrama with elements of comedy became the reason for the appearance of an unusual holiday. May 16th is the romantic and mysterious Ghost Dance Day. In honor of the holiday, they turn on any slow music and begin to move to the beat with an imaginary partner. It is believed that at this moment the soul of a person to whom you are very dear may be nearby. May 16 is dedicated to watching mystical TV series and melodramas with love stories whose characters are ghosts: “Between Heaven and Earth” with Reese Witherspoon, “Camilla’s Honeymoon” with Senna Miller and James Franco, “The Bride from Beyond” with the charming Eva Longoria and "Meet Joe Black" with young Brad Pitt. The day of "Dancing with Ghosts" is a reason to plunge not only into the world of art, but also science. Associations with the rhythmic movements of infernal entities prompted researchers to give an unusual name to one astronomical object. In 2021, scientists used the ultra-powerful ASKAP telescope to see radio galaxies located approximately a billion light years from Earth. At the center of each of them there is a black hole that shoots beams of electrons into space. The intergalactic wind gives these particles a bizarre cloud shape, reminiscent of two dancing ghosts. Thanks to EMU, a project for space exploration through radio continuum imaging, it is planned to create a "Map of the Evolution of the Universe." One of its objects has already become galaxies called Dancing Ghosts. Spinning in the rhythm of a waltz, not with a flow of electrons in space, but with an invisible partner in earthly conditions, is offered by Ghost Dance Day.
