A young Chinese-American woman moves to Taiwan, later getting an apartment. Unknown to her, the entity of a deceased young girl resides in a bedroom. She soon moves.
I received the following account:
"I've lived in Taiwan for over a decade. I moved here from the United States when I was in high school because my parents wanted to move back to their homeland. Taiwan is heavily Taoist and places a huge emphasis on respecting (and fearing) the dead.
A few years after we moved I graduated from school and went out on my own. I located a nice 3-bedroom apartment in a nice area of town for a very reasonable price. The third bedroom was down a short hall adjacent to the family room and had a window that opened to the building draft shaft, which was pitch black all the time. The room always sort of creeped me out and I didn't know why. When I'd sit at the computer, the room was on my left and I could always see it out of the corner of my eye.
Well, one night the light just flips on in there. Thought that was weird, but I couldn't tell if the switch had physically flipped or not because I didn't know its location or off/on it due to the shape.
Fast forward a month and I decided to get a "mini" pig, which turned out to be a massive 200 lbs sow which I still have. I took her for walks every day down to the local park and let her graze while I studied Chinese. One day a very friendly, but odd old woman came up to me giving me the Chinese gesture of service (hand on a fist in front of you as you bow), and rambled on to me in Chinese about what I couldn't understand at the time. I smile, don't know what else to do.
A week later, there she is again. She takes my Chinese textbook and pencil. She goes to a blank page in the back and proceeds to draw something then writes in Chinese. She smiles politely and gives it back to me. The picture is what looks to be a doll of a girl in a dress with very large hole-like black eyes. I'm sort of shocked and creeped out. The picture was quite well drawn by the way.
I didn't know what it said, so I took it to my Chinese teacher. She takes one look at it and her face goes white. She says, "There is a bedroom in your house with the ghost of a young girl in it. She likes you and your pig. She is friendly." I kind of swallowed hard. Back at home, I looked at a note on the door of the room that had been there since the day I moved in. I assumed it was saying something about the electrical in the room or something. I take it to my Chinese teacher the next week who unhappily tells me, "That is the room the girl lives in." I go home and tell the "girl" politely that I can't handle that sort of thing but her space is her space, then proceed to move a month later. It was just too creepy for me!" H
