Mysterious house: Sockets and lightbulbs burn without switching connection

November 2009

The citizens of Strašice wonder if a UFO has visited a family in their town. The Mráčková family resides in a house that was once considered a typical house until light sockets caught fire and glass thermometers and light bulbs exploded. The family sought answers from scientific researchers but they could not explain this case.

The truth is that the interior of the house is like a microwave. There is radiation throughout the house and this does not make for a comfortable atmosphere. The owner, Jiří Mráček, claims that the radiation and electrical discharges happened even when he switched off the electricity: his own son was injured by one such electrical discharge.

The discharges destroy bulbs, glass, and CDs. Jiří has witnessed these extraordinary occurrences with his own eyes. The family is so disturbed by the events that the wife and son are staying with their relatives, while the owner is guarding the house in the hope that it will not burn down. He states, “I  have a headache and a whistle in my ear.”  According to the expert from ČEZ (electricity concern), this phenomenon isn‘t described in any scientific book. The other houses in the neighbourhood are not affected by a similar phenomenon.

Although a couple of months have passed, mysterious events in the house in Strašice (near Rokycany) are still unexplained. Local people connect these events with the name of their village itself (Strašice is derived from the Czech word which means to haunt). Someone even said that these events occur as there are dead people who want to escape from the house.

Whatever the cause, the family of Mr. Mráček still hopes that everything will be explained as soon as possible so they can return to their house and their everyday lives.
