I don't know if you will believe this story, but I can guarantee you that it is true because I'm the one who witnessed it...

At the time the incident happened, I was only 5 years old. But I can remember very clearly how it happened. I was with my maid ready to go home from my kindergarten school. It was at the ghost festival period, and I could see many black pieces of paper flying around the ground. It was the hell money that people used to burn. As I was very young and did not know what it was, I stepped on it. I always have the habit of stepping on dried leaves that fell on the floor. It would always give out a crunchy sound and I liked that. So, as I was saying, I stepped on those papers on purpose. My maid did not see what I was doing so she did stop me. I knew that she would stop me if I stepped on those because she is kind of superstitious.

Nothing happened the rest of the day. When it was bedtime, I went to sleep with my maid as I always did. In the middle of the night, I woke suddenly. Something was in the room. I looked towards the room door and there it was. I always thought that the ghost was floating on the window, but my mum told me it was at the door. The ghost just stood there and stared at me. I cried when I saw it. It had such and ugly face. It's face was mutated like it had been squashed. I could not tell whether it was a male or a female. Even if I could, I wouldn’t give a damn! It was too frightening and I was just a little girl.

My maid woke up when I cried and she tried to comfort me. I kept pointing at the door and crying. I knew that my maid could not see the ghost as she was asking me what’s wrong. I quickly turned away from the gruesome looking ghost. But as soon as I turn back to look at it again, it had disappeared. My maid took me to my mum’s room and my mum gave me a card that has a picture of Jesus and I held on to that card the whole night. My maid and my mum must have understood what was wrong, as after all it was the ghost festival.

I will never forget the sight of that grotesque looking ghost. I hope you would not do the same mistake as me to step on those burnt hell money or even step on joss sticks.
