Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the Internet I am your host Rebecca
Felgate and once again I am joined by the lovely host of our Top 10 Hindi Channel – Ayman!
Rebecca: Ayman and I are talking about the Top 10 Scary Afghanistan Urban Legends – I’ve
actually really enjoyed researching this video, I feel like I have learned a lot about the
county ! Ayman, have you talked about Urban Legends on Top 10 Hindi?
Ayman:
Rebecca… leave us a comment letting us know where you guys are from and if you would like
an urban legends video for your country or city… but for now, lets get in to this!
Rebecca 10 - 39 In Afghanistan, a large number of people believe
that the number 39 is heavily cursed.
A quick shout out to my friend Alex Lewis here - he also has a weird thing with the
number 39…Alex….did you know about the curse.
SO it seems for some reason that the number is linked with pimping and prostitution.
The number 39 is said to translate into Morda Gow which means dead cow….whiiich in Afghani
is a term for a pimp.
Right.
Basically nobody in Kabul and other parts of Afghanistan want to be associated with
the number and will not be seen with vehicles with 39 in their number plates for fear of
being smitted by the dirty curse of 39!
How strange!
The issue is so bad that people will doctor car registration plates to turn 9s into 8s
and if someone is 39 years old, they will refer to themselves as one less than 40!
They don’t even like saying the word!
An Afghan with the number 39 in their telephone number says they get calls asking for prostitutes
– which is deeply sinful in the Islamic country.
In the 2010 elections, the 39th candidate on the ballot invoked a strong response from
civilians and two people were killed in the chaos.
39….who knew!
Ayman: 9 Ghul-I-Beaban The Ghul – I -Beaban is said to mean Ghoul
of the Waste and refers to a horrible ghost that lives in the mountains and deserts, the
barren waste lands of the country.
The Ghul I beaban is rumoured to be a human eater, having devoured many men straight off
their horses back in the olden days.
A lot of the information I have found on the ghoul has been written in Afghan so it is
hard to understand.
Most of the translated accounts describe it being very very big and living amid cold shadow
areas.
Apparently it is afraid of fire.
Ayman continued – 8 Kabul University After the Taliban had fallen, work was done
physically and emotionally to rebuild Kabul university.
It is rumoured that the Taliban used to torture and murder hostages in dorm rooms and class
rooms in the building.
Obviously the ins and outs of it aren’t totally known, but from what we know of the
Taliban it seems entirely possible.
Aid workers and construction workers tasked with rebuilding and repairing the university
reported smelling foul smells like rotting flesh at random times while in seemingly sterile
environments.
Some also reported hearing screams or even seeing the victims of the Taliban out of the
corner of their eyes.
A lot of paranormal believers say that ghosts tend to imprint on places of high emotional
intensity…so perhaps this is the case.
Rebecca 7 - A Dragon Defeated the Red Army This is a weird one, I have to admit….
But this really is what some people in Afghanistan are going with!
So it seems that some people believe the reason the Soviet Union failed in the war they started
against Afghanistan was partly thanks to a dragon.
Outside the town of Bulola, Mujahideen fighters were battling the red Army and it seems the
ruckus awoke a long slumbering dragon who was dormant in a mountain.
The dragon was said to have incinerated the entire soviet army in the town before heading
back to bed.
He eats Bolsheviks for breakfast.
6 - The Ghosts of the Soviets Marines in Afghanistan’s Helmand Province
reported some very unnerving goings on at a small base called Observation Point Rock.
It seems that Russian soldiers had been executed here by Afghan militants back during the long
occupation of the country.
The Marine’s found graves there and locals in a nearby village told them that the location
was heavily cursed.
Before the Marine’s got there, the base was inhabited by a unit of the Welsh guard
and the two teams of military shared stories – both claim that the base was very creepy
and nearly unbearable at night, Between the hours of midnight and 4am, unexplained lights
were seen through military night vision goggles.
5 - MH370 Like many urban and ancient legends, this
story is most likely not true…but it seems there is a very popular conspiracy theory
that the aircraft missing from flight MH370 was hijacked and flown to Afghanistan.
As we know, Russia and Afghanistan have historical beef – so could this be the reason a Russian
newspaper started this crazy rumour?
The Moskovsky Komsomolets publication claimed that The plane was hijacked by terrorists
and is in Afghanistan not far from Kandahar near the border with Pakistan and the passengers
are alive but being held hostage and forced to live in mud hut.
Ayman 4 - Djinn Rebecca talked about the Desert Djinn in the
Egyptian urban legends, and it seems that in Afghanistan there are legends of Djinn
too.
It seems to very much be a Middle Eastern - Islam belief – they’re even mention
in the Quran as beings formed by Allah.
The Djinn in Afghanistan are mischievous spirits.
While their legends originated in places of nature, modern day Afghan’s believe they
live in gardens, under stairs or in the u-bends of kitchen sinks.
Most Djinns are neither good nor bad, just chaotic and love to mess with humans.
I came across the account of a soldier in Kabul who claimed to have experienced a Djinn
when items went missing or moved without explanation in his locked room.
Some say it is Djinn who whisper in the ears of terrorists.
Rebecca 3 - The Ail The Ail are an urban legend from the Tajikistan
boarder.
They are said to be beautiful female looking ghosts or spectres with milky white eyes that
float around the Kush Mountains at high noon and twilight.
Despite being beautiful, they are said to be hostile and violent and could cause you
harm if you come across them.
For this reason, locals are known to stay away from the mountains during these times
of day for fear of incurring the Ail’s wrath.
2 - Khary Kot Castle In the frozen mountains of Afghanistan’s
Paktika province there is an old castle that was built by the British in the 1800s.
Good old brits.
We loved building a castle.
It seems it was built when the British forces were fighting the Anglo Afghan Wars – a
series of wars which ultimately the Afghan’s won.
Anyway, wherever we are, we need a castle, so the Brits made it happen.
After the wars it fell into disrepair – look at it – it is creepy.
It seems that it was inhabited AGAIN by the soviet army when they bust up into the country,
too.
Nobody is totally sure what went down at the castle, other than death and despair from
two losing armies.
Locals will not go near the abandoned building as they say it is absolutely filled to the
brim with ghosts.
Those brave enough to venture nearby say that the castle emits an evil aurora and strange
noises.
Ayman – 1 The Giants In Afghanistan many people believe in giants.
Some believe they walked the earth of their country just 80 years ago!
A writer for the business insider retold an exchange with himself and a police officer
who was adamant that 30-meter-tall humanoids lived in Kabul.
This may sound strange but in 2002 a weird rumour surfaced that American military officials
killed a 12 to 18 ft red haired giant in Kandahar while troops were on patrol and were involved
in a cover up.
Two so called former special ops soldiers spoke in a video posted on youtube about the
encounter.
They said that they came across a giant three times the size of a normal man with extra
digits on his hands and feet – and was carrying a huge sword.
They said one of their fellow soldiers, a man named Dan, was killed by the giant, which
they believe to be a Nephilim – basically a biblical offspring between gods and humans.
Like…
I don’t really know what to make of this.
So there we have it - that was the Top 10 Scary Afghanistan Urban Legends!
