When the bonfire went out and the old man lowered his voice, those taboos buried by time quietly awakened in the darkness...
This is not a palace secret, nor a legend of the world, but a folk ghost that is deeply rooted in the soil and circulated in the streets. They come from the vague warnings in the mouth of the old man, the inexplicable scratches on the window lattice late at night, the flickering lights in the abandoned old house, and the awe of the unknown in everyone's heart.
Opening this "Collection of Chinese Folk Ghost Stories", you will step into a corner forgotten by modern lights:
Listen, the water ghost whispers in the deep river bottom, tempting the substitute who has lost his footing;
Look, the beautiful woman transformed into a fox fairy tells the story of thousands of years of love and hatred under the moonlight;
Touch, the dusty bronze mirror in the ancient house reflects a pale face that does not belong to this world;
Smell, the strange fragrance wafting next to the deserted tomb, attracting the lost night travelers...
Collected here are mysterious stories that have been passed down orally and from generation to generation. They may be sad and sad, some may be eerie, or some may be absurd, but all of them bear the simple imagination and deep fear of our ancestors towards nature, life, death and the unknown.
Be careful, there are some stories that you will never forget once you hear them; there are some secrets that you will be entangled in if you know them...
Do you dare to listen to those whispers swallowed up by the night?
