On June 25, 2003, Tong Ranran’s father, Tong Yun, was contacted. Audio file 02020030625.wav.
"Hello, Mr. Tong. We have some questions to ask you about your daughter, Miss Tong Ranran."
"Well. Ran Ran's matter... I actually didn't want to mention this matter."
"We understand how you feel. It's a pity that Miss Tong passed away like this."
"Oh, I have thought of such a day for a long time... Sooner or later..."
"Is that so? We thought Miss Tong was suddenly hit and couldn't think about it for a while."
"No, she... her mother is a bit... how should I put it..."
"Don't be impatient. Speak slowly. You can say whatever comes to your mind."
"Huh... Actually, her mother and I have a lot of responsibility for this matter. She is our old daughter, and we were very old when we gave birth to her. She was not in good health before, and her mother had been seeing doctors and taking medicine. I suffered a lot when I was pregnant with her and gave birth to her. I don’t agree with that. If you don’t have a child, you won’t have one... She wanted a child... When she was giving birth, she almost died in the hospital. Now that I think about it, Very scared. Fortunately, both mother and daughter are safe... Ranran is a little weak, but we took good care of her and she was fine. When I was a child, I often had colds and fevers, which got better when I got older. Because of this... we doted on her a little bit. She. I love her so much. My mother, as well as my mother-in-law, Ran Ran’s mother used to worry that she wouldn’t live to adulthood. She was really sick when she was a child. Her mother even regretted giving birth to her. She suffered... These women are a bit superstitious. They still go to see doctors, and they also do things like praying to gods and Buddhas. This is just a sincere intention, and it is not too much. They don't let the children suffer, and they have nothing to do with it. I went to temples everywhere, donated money for sesame oil and so on... I really didn't take it seriously, and our family didn't think much about it... "
"Hmm. So, your family has always believed this?"
"No. Just for psychological comfort. After Ranran got better, they stopped doing this. They used to worship Bodhisattva at home, but later they stopped doing it. They returned it to the temple, which is a wish. After my mother-in-law passed away, My wife doesn’t do these things anymore. I saw Ran Ran doing those things... I was scared. I never thought of it... "
"Can you tell me more specifically?"
"... Once in high school, that was probably the first time. They were kids playing, with several girls together, and I didn't understand that. She later explained to me about Pen Fairy and so on, but I actually didn't understand it either. It seemed like It's like asking a god to get on top of you, dancing with a master or something... She said that after playing, something happened, and one of her classmates died. Her mother and I were really scared. We are not superstitious, or Ran Ran suddenly said She was crying and shaking at the same time. We were also afraid that something bad might happen. Her mother took her to a temple to pray, and took a bath with grapefruit leaves, mugwort, etc., and she went through a lot of trouble. I asked someone to go I asked, and the teacher at school also asked. In fact, it was not the case at all. One of her classmates, her father was transferred to another job, and their family moved, so she transferred to another school. After transferring, she had a car accident. It was an accident. None of their family members People talk about encountering ghosts and evil spirits, and a few classmates they play with spread the word, and it turns into encountering ghosts, and people are killed by ghosts. It's also... It's a bit funny... I think it's the truth It's good to be clear about it. It also teaches them a lesson. It's better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it doesn't exist. There is a god at the top of your head. In the end, it's better not to mess around. She should have listened at that time, After that, she stopped playing with those things. Her mother was still worried, so she took her to worship God for a while, and invited Bodhisattvas to her home to worship for a while. Later, she was admitted to college and usually lived on campus from Monday to Friday. Inside, the Bodhisattva doesn’t have much to offer.”
"Um."
"This time... Last year, it was the second time... It was almost the same as last time. I was crying and shaking at the same time. They said they went out to play and encountered a ghost on the way back. They said they saw a female ghost and bumped into the female ghost's body. . She took out the newspaper and showed it to us. The only news was that someone was hit and killed on the highway. Her mother was also scared. We were afraid that they would cause a traffic accident... She was not the one driving the car. Things should be okay. She was a little bit ... Some of them couldn't listen. I don't know what's wrong with her. She found the Bodhisattva herself, burned incense, went to the temple to burn incense, and made a lot of things. Her mother said that it's good for her to feel at ease like this. I am She felt that she was getting more and more wrong. She seemed... crazy. She frightened herself, and she couldn't listen to what others said. This incident was not reported in the news anymore. I don't know the reporter or the traffic police. Something like that... After a lot of twists and turns, I found someone and asked about this matter. I told her that it wasn't them who killed someone... "
"What was Miss Tong's reaction?"
"... She... She has that expression, very serious, the way she looks at people... She said, she told me that she saw a ghost, and that woman came to her... She was alone at home, and sometimes She screamed suddenly, that kind of scream, very scary. She kept screaming and stared at one place. Her mother and I didn't see anything, but she seemed to see something. Her mother started to panic. She looked for all kinds of things. The solution is to take her to see those masters. They are all lies. I want to take her to see a doctor. She may be scared... We tried various methods. She... Later, her mother and I were both a little confused She couldn't stand it. Do you understand? She couldn't do anything... She couldn't be obedient, she couldn't act like a normal person... I took her to the doctor, and the doctor prescribed sedatives and medicine. After taking the medicine, she felt a little better. Once the effect has passed, it won't work... The doctor also taught me not to be spoiled and follow her in her mischief. There is no ghost. We can't let her continue to think like that... Her mother said, what if she really encounters a ghost? ? We just... I really regret it now. At that time, we were hesitant, we were very hesitant, watching both sides, giving her medicine, and buying her incense, candles, talismans and so on... Her symptoms were getting worse and worse... We were I can't even stay at home... I can't... um... "
"Did she attack you?"
"No, there was no attack... She just said that she saw a female ghost sometimes, and sometimes... Sometimes she sat there and kept talking... I went to listen, but I couldn't hear clearly... It seemed like she was reading someone's name, it seemed. She was swearing... She was crazy... Sometimes she looked at me and her mother, staring. Her mother cried and begged her, but she didn't respond at all. Later... Later when we came back from work, when we came back, I saw her lying on the floor... She... Her body was stiff, and there was something spitted out next to her mouth... Her eyes were still open... I can see her look like this when I close my eyes now... Woo…”
"Mr. Tong, my next question may be a little offensive. I would like to ask, did you see your daughter after her death?"
"I see it every day, every night..."
"No, I don't mean you saw it in your dream, or recalled your daughter. Have you ever seen your daughter's ghost? Have you ever seen anything unusual in your home?"
