ZHANGZHOU, CHINA -- Two young girls have reportedly committed suicide in an attempt to travel back in time.
According to a report by state-owned China Daily, the suicides may have been inspired by a television series about traveling back into the Qing Dynasty.
The girls, both 12, left behind a suicide note in which one girl indicated her death was motivated by dreams of traveling to space and of shooting a film with the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
According to the newspaper the other girl feared telling her parents that she lost a remote control to the garage door.
"I often provoke my mother's unhappiness, and I'm sorry", the China Daily's Chinese version reported the girl as having written in her suicide note.
Both girls drowned themselves in a pond near their homes.
A newspaper in Southeast China conducted an informal survey of elementary school students, finding that 14 of 16 children believed that time travel was possible.
It did not say whether it asked the students if they believed death was the only method through which they could travel in time, according to the Wall Street Journal.
