Rural ghost stories + urban paranormal tales + folk secrets + episodic stories (each volume has different content!)
Some say there are no ghosts in this world. You just haven't encountered anything that can't be explained.
My name is Wo Canmei. I've traveled through desolate villages and wilderness, and investigated strange rumors in the corners of cities.
Over the years, I've recorded one eerie incident after another, all but forgotten by the people involved:
The village opera troupe's final performance, with the seats filled by the dead;
In the elevator of an old apartment complex, there are clearly only three people, yet another figure appears, one that shouldn't exist;
A mysterious old man found in a trunk leads to a secret buried for decades...
Every story comes from a ghost tale passed down among the people;
Every investigation brings me one step closer to the truth.
Some people enter a deserted village in search of missing loved ones. Some open a door in the dead of night that should never have been opened. And some, after experiencing a strange incident, discover that the truly frightening thing isn't the unknown.
From rural rumors to urban taboos;
From strange happenings in old houses to secrets hidden in people's hearts.
This is a firsthand record of strange tales and unusual events from among the people.
After night falls, don't open this book alone.
Because you'll never know
who the person standing behind you in the next story really is.
