According to Vu The Khanh, General Director of the Union of Science, Technology and Application IT Associations, Vietnam has nearly 100 people who have special abilities and over ten of them can find lost tombs.
Scientists define four paths to becoming a telepath: inborn ability, becoming a telepath after experiencing a great upheaval, veteran monks, being trained.
According to Mr Khanh, it is very rare to have inborn telepaths; monk-telepaths are the most prevalent. However, monk-telepaths often don’t disclose their ability to focus on religious life.
A typical example about a monk-telepath is a man named Nguyen Van Nha, who is living in HCM City. This man has helped thousands of people find lost tombs of their family members.
Mr Nha has never met tomb finders directly but given them instructions via telephones. He does so because he doesn’t want to get a bad reputation of seeking money from tomb finders.
There are some people who have special abilities through training and those cases are under research so scientists have not released any information about them.
Most of the telepaths in Vietnam gain their special ability after experiencing a great change in their lives. There is one who became a telepath after getting an electric shock, one after a temperature, and another after a serious sickness.
The most special case of this form is Phan Thi Bich Hang.
Hang was born and grew up in a small, needy village in Khanh Hoa commune, Yen Khanh district, the northern province of Ninh Binh. In 1990, at the age of 17, after returning from her university entrace exam, Hang and a female friend were bitten by a dog while they were walking.
It is very normal for rural people to be bitten by dogs so Hang and her friend quickly forgot the event. Several days after that, Hang received the news that she had passed the university entrance exam.
Around one month later, Hang’s friend suddenly lost her voice and and her jaw became rigid. Dentists said that this was not the symptom of toothache. Hang and her friend went to Ninh Binh Military Hospital 5.
Doctors at Ninh Binh Military Hospital 5 said that Hang’s friend had the symptoms of rabies. After that Hang lost consciousness and her friend died.
Hang’s family brought her everywhere to seek treatment, using both Oriental and Western medicines, but all doctors and healers said that this disease couldn’t be treated.
Finally, Hang was brought to a healer who is a Catholic. The healer carefully checked her body and said: “God will protect you”.
The healer told his son to go to a cemetery to collect a piece of coffin that had been exhumed the day before to use as a medicament, mixed with some other medicines. There was no choice; Hang’s family fed the girl this terrible medicine.
After taking this medicine, the healer told Hang’s parents that after three hours the girl would have a temperature, she could speak in her sleep and even could have a fit of madness. If those symptoms ended after three days, she would live, otherwise she would die.
Like what the healer said, Hang had a fit of madness three hours later, and nothing on the first and the second days thereafter. On the third day, while walking with the elder brother of her friend who had died because of rabies, to the girl’s tomb, Hang suddenly felt a jet of cold air running along her spine. She immediately told the man to take her back home as she knew that she was about to have a fit of madness. She lost conscioness then.
At 1am the next day, Hang’s family lost their hope because Hang breathed her last breath. Normally, in Hang’s home area, young people are often quickly enshrouded and buried, without funeral ceremonies. However, an old man in Hang’s village who is very good at horoscopes came to Hang’s house and told the family to not enshroud and bury her as the good hour hadn’t come yet and to not burn incence as well.
At that time, a doctor asked the old man why he advised the family to do strange things like this, and the old man answered: “You have modern medical technology while I have only incence and holy water, but I’m sure that she won’t die.”
The family was very confused but they still prepared a coffin while waiting to find out whether the old man’s words were true or not.
At the time when Hang was waiting for death, she asked her father, who was a soldier, why people shoot seven battery salvos when a leader dies. The father said that it was to help the leader’s soul quickly be free. Hang told her father: “When I die, please shoot seven battery salvos to help my soul quickly be free and return to our family.”
Hang’s father returned home at 7am the next day. Looking at his dead daughter, the father cried and suddenly remembered his promise to the girl. He pulled out his short gun and fired seven times. Hang suddenly sat up like a spring, ran to her father and called, “Daddy”.
She tripped on bullet casings and fell down to the ground. After 30 minutes, she regained her senses. At that time, a strange feeling came to the girl. She felt she had lost all her weight, was flying and looking at others from a different world. Hang came to life against and it is considered a legend in her home town.
Several months later, she totally regained her strength and often wandered everywhere. It is very strange that looking into the face of anybody, Hang knows whether they will live long or are about to die. Some people have been very healthy but she knew they were about to die. Hang told them that they were about to die. Sometimes she was beaten for being ‘viperish-tongued’. But what Hang told them became the truth, which scared the villagers.
They believed that Hang was possessed by ghosts and they kept a safe distance from her. Hang tried to pursuade the villagers that she was not mad and she could forsee the dead in advance but nobody believed in her. Hang’s father brought her to many hospitals and sorcerers.
Though at that time Hang could forsee the health and even the thinking of others, she was very pained and only wanted to lose that ability.
She said that one day, in desperation, she wished to see her paternal and maternal grandmothers, whom she loved very much. Very strangely, on the death anniversary of her paternal grandmother, she saw the paternal grandmother (who died when Hang was 10 years old) holding another child and leading another.
Hang related her meeting with the dead to her family. Hang’s paternal grandfather said that the children that Hang saw were his children who died at the age of 8 months old and 3 years old. At that time, people knew that Hang had a special ability.
The village where Hang lives has a very old pagoda. Hang’s uncle is located near the pagoda. One day Hang visited her uncle and told him that there was human being in his garden. Hang and her uncle digged up the garden and found a wooden coffin with the body of a man. According to archaeologists, the tomb was 700 years old.
Hang’s family lost the tomb of their ancestors of four generations ago. They had tried to find the tomb for years but they couldn’t. On the death anniversary of the ancestors, Hang attempted to find the tomb and she saw the tomb on a road. Hang told her brothers to dig up the road to find the tomb.
Some local guards prevented them from digging up the road but Hang confirmed that there was a tomb under the road bed. They continued digging and finally found the tomb.
At that time Hang’s special ability was proved. However, her father, a soldier, still didn’t believe in her. He quit his job to stay at home to take care of his daughter. To prove to her father that she was not mad and not under a delusion, Hang committed to pass the university entrance exam.
To make her father completely believe that she was normal, Hang registered for the National Economics University, where she had to attend maths, physics and chemistry exams while she previously registered to attend literature, history and geography exams. After only 15 days of reviewing lessons, she passed the univeristy entrance exams with high points.
At that time, Hang was a collaborator of the Sports and Physical Training Institute. Some experts of the Ministry of Culture and Information researched her special ability in seeking lost tombs. Hang asked those experts to help her survey the history of the ancient pagoda in her village, which has existed for centuries.
Hang talked with the pagoda builders, who of course died 700 years ago, to know about the construction of the pagoda, which was then verified to be true by related State agencies. The pagoda was then recognised as a historical site.
Hang has also helped thousands of families find the lost tombs of their family members, incuding thousands of remains of martyrs.
