Interesting Beliefs and Events in Kilis According to Folk Narratives

Abstract

Kilis is a town in Turkey's border with Syria. This city, which is 10 km from the border, is a mysterious place. Here are some events that have been believed by the people and have survived to the present day. These events are both interesting and extraordinary. Some people claim that these events are completely real. These events also appear in verbal narrative types transmitted from the old generation to the new generation. The deceased doctor who treats the patient, the shrine whose walls are leaning, people who travel in the place and change places at once, mysterious structures and magical events are part of Kilis culture. Cultural values that have been going on for centuries in Kilis combine with legends and emerge as a new system of values. These beliefs are interconnected and consistent. It is understood from people who say they are not imaginary. It is seen that the people living these things do not engage in any gain. For this reason, the credibility of the narratives seems to be quite high. A serious research on these events and places may perhaps solve the mystery of these places.
