Next Stop for Short Ghost Stories

Okay, so at the heart of this ghost story is a terrifying cycle of imitation and return. Here's a succinct introduction: In a mountain village where there is an ancient taboo of "no sound at night", the girl "I" was led to the entrance of the village by her "mother"'s painful cry for help late at night when she was eighteen years old. At the critical moment, the real mother covered her mouth from behind. The real mother revealed the horrifying truth to her in extreme fear: at this time every year, "things" imitate the voices of relatives to lure their children, and they have succeeded seven times. The elder brother who disappeared eight years ago died because of this. The deepest fear is - the thing outside the door that just called "me" in a mother's voice sadly... The sound it made was exactly my brother's voice. This is not a simple imitation, but the relatives killed by the taboo eventually become the taboo itself, returning year after year, on the same night, in the same way, looking for the next replacement. The rules protect the living, but also curse the dead souls, forming a terrifying reincarnation that cannot be broken out of.
