Mysterious Creatures: Ghosts
by Noah Zhu from 6B
A ghost is an invisible creature that kills people at midnight. There are many kinds of ghosts and rituals to summon them. In this article I will show you some of the craziest and scariest ghosts. Beware!
Chinese Ghosts
Hua Pi Gui
History: Came from Pusongling’s 18th-century collection: Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. The hua pi gui is extremely dangerous and must be avoided at all costs. The ghost will transform into a beautiful homeless girl and lure you to take her to your house. If you take it home, you will get killed and have your heart eaten. The ghost will also peel your skin off and wear it to lure other humans.
Class: Extremely dangerous. Must avoid at all costs!
European Ghosts
Bloody Mary
History: An English queen that burnt 300 people in the fire. A kind of ghost that you can summon with a ritual by saying 'Bloody Mary' three times to a mirror in a dark room, or saying 'Bloody Mary' 47 times to the bathroom mirror. Bloody Mary could be friendly, evil or a demonic spirit [mostly evil]. It sometimes is covered in blood. It would rip your eyes off, suck your souls, strangle you, drink your blood or curse you.
Bloody Mary was queen when alive. Too bloody to show the real face, I suppose. I believe you are not that stupid to summon one, so I wrote how to summon it. Don’t try.
Class: Extremely dangerous. It will kill you in really bloody ways.
Japanese Ghosts
Hua Zi
History: A girl was killed in the second war when the bombs dropped down.
You can summon her by knocking on the door three times and asking, “Huazi, are you here?” in Chinese in the third restroom door in the third-floor girls’ toilet. The ghost will either slide her hand out of the door or answer, “Yes, I am here.” It will also pull the victim to hell, or a three-headed lizard will eat the victim.
Class: Dangerous
These are some very bloody ghosts and there are three things you should do if you see them:
Run away as fast as you can.
Do not summon spirits.
Pray to God before you die so you can go to heaven.
One more sentence for warning: don’t try to find one or summon one.
