Auschwitz

We have all heard or read about this so so tragic place and the atrocities that went on there.We all know it was a concentration camp where millions of Jews, Poles, Gypsies and Soviets prisoners of war lost their life.The camp was in operation from May1940 until its liberation in January 1945 by the Soviet forces. Jews were forced by the SS to work and help in the killing of their own kind, which I don't think any one could possibly imagine what that must been like.Auschwitz is now a museum and memorial to those who lost their lives there and every year it is visited by many. some of the visitors have reported cold spots, clothes being tugged and there was even a report of a voice saying "please leave" which infact is hardly surprising is it if these reports are accurate, surely the spirits of these unfortunate people wouldn't want people being there.This reported phenomenon is reported to have taken place in the underground bunkers where the gassings and cremation of the bodies took place. All told there were five underground cremation ovens, before these were added bodies were were burned in very large deep pits near by.As it stands as a reminder to us all of the atrocities that went on, would it really be right to investigate paranormal phenomena there as in morally right, though groups have been in Auschwitz but their findings have not been released.Photographs taken over the years have had what look light anomalies, apparitions on them, are these the manifestation of spirit, who really knows, and given the history of Auschwitz and not forgetting the sister camp Birkenau, which was built to cope with the over flow of Hilters mass destruction, would it really surprise us if this place was haunted ? or is it, could it not just be that because of the terrible things that went on in there it is our own human imaginations and thoughts of these poor souls and the natural ability to be able to imagine what it must have been like, that makes us think it is haunted.Personally I think the place should be left as it is, and that's a memorial and a reminder to those that died there and that these tragic events like this should never be allowed to happen again !!
