It is known that the construction of the Forbidden City began under the reign of Minh Thanh Patriarch - Zhu De, who was the son of emperor Chu Nguyen Chuong. Zhu De is famous for his outstanding talent and leadership. He usurped the throne of his nephew Doan Van to become emperor. He wanted to build an extremely magnificent palace to consolidate his power and leave a great legacy for posterity. This construction must reach a level that makes others respect and admire it.

Some old people who lived in the Forbidden City previously believed that this place was a "park" of souls. From stories between the emperor and his concubine, bloody wars, or the hatred, sadness and loneliness of the palace maids... all take place here. And perhaps because of their untimely death, they still linger in this world. Among them, the thrilling story about the palace maids strangely appearing in the Forbidden City is the most mentioned.

According to ETToday, in 1992, a group of tourists visited the Forbidden City. For unknown reasons, it suddenly started raining heavily. Everyone was hastily looking for shelter when a bolt of lightning struck, causing everyone to panic.

At that moment, a group of palace maids wearing ancient costumes suddenly appeared and walked along the Forbidden City corridor. After a few seconds of panic, some people in this tour group regained their composure and used cameras to capture the scene.

After this story was widely spread, many people asked why only this group of tourists saw the images of these palace maids.

Later, some scientists gave an explanation, possibly due to the red walls of the Forbidden City, which contain iron oxide (Fe3O4). It is iron oxide that causes this phenomenon to occur.

It can be understood that the camera contains an iron oxide component, thanks to this component, when an electric current flows through, the camera can record images. Scientists believe that electricity from lightning can pass through the walls of the Forbidden City, turning it into a giant camera.

Perhaps, more than 100 years ago, a group of palace maids also walked in this corridor during a very heavy rainstorm. At that time, the lightning and the red wall acted like a camera, recording the scene of the group of palace maids moving here. And more than 100 years later, coincidentally during a similar storm, the "giant camera" once again worked, but this time instead of recording images, it emitted images.

However, some architects have vehemently opposed this speculation by scientists. Because the walls of the Forbidden City have been painted many times, if iron oxide was present, they would have been covered up a long time ago, making it difficult to create that "giant camera". After all, up to now, the ghostly event in 1992 in the Forbidden City is still a mystery that makes many people curious.
