Why were there so many ghost stories in the countryside in the 1980s and 1990s? Even every village has a place that is rumored to be more evil and scary, and the elderly always tell people not to get close. The story happened in 1992 in a village in Funingji Township, Yuanyang County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province. At that time, I was only seven or eight years old. Every day after school, I would go home and play crazy with several friends from the same village. We were playing hide-and-seek, and it was getting dark. We agreed to go home after the last game, but I didn’t have enough fun at the time and didn’t want to go home, so I wanted to find a hidden place and let them look for it for a while. I had already thought of a place in my mind. At the beginning of the game, I ran there desperately. It was an old house behind the village. I observed for many days and found that no one lived there. It had been empty for a long time. They would definitely not think of hiding here. Later, it was completely dark. The friends who played with me looked for me for a long time and couldn’t find me. They thought I went home and dispersed. In fact, I didn’t go home. My parents searched for me for a long time. Later, they found a few children who played with me and asked about my whereabouts. One of the children told my mother that they saw me running to the back of the village and might have entered this old house, but they didn't see me. My parents were panicked when they heard that I went into the old house, because they knew that an old widowed lady used to live in the old house. Since the old lady died, the house has always been haunted, so it has been empty. But they were eager to find me, so they ran to the old house to see. When they got closer, they found that the old house was locked, as if no one had opened it for many years, and there were some spider webs hanging on the lock. My mother was afraid that I would be naughty and climb in from another place, so she leaned on the window to look into the house, but she found that the house was empty. Apart from being a little gloomy, there was no place to hide.
There was no furniture in the room, only a table in the middle of the main room, on which there was a portrait of an old lady, which made people feel creepy. Seeing that there was no trace of me in the room, the two of them wanted to find me somewhere else, but just when they left the old house, they heard me calling them from behind. I walked out of that old house, which made them feel very strange. In fact, my memory of that time period is also very vague. I only remember that I felt very uncomfortable at that time, and when I saw my mother, I threw myself into her arms. My mother saw that my face was very bad. I had a severe stomachache at that time, the kind of pain that was like a knife twisting. My parents thought that I just drank cold air while playing, and didn't care too much. They took me home and thought that drinking some hot water would be fine. But after returning home, my pain became more and more severe, and then my whole stomach swelled up. My parents felt that I might have eaten something unclean, so they asked me to recall what I had eaten. I told my parents about my experience in that old house. After I ran to the old house, I thought no one lived there, but I saw an old lady standing at the door. The old lady said she liked me very much. After letting me in, she brought me a big plate of meat buns. I was really hungry at that time, and the meat buns were so delicious. I felt that I had never eaten such delicious food before, so I ate a lot. The old lady didn't feel sorry for me and kept passing them to me. My grandmother listened to my description and experience and said that the old lady had been dead for many years. I was eating the ghost food she made. Because I didn't know what I was eating, it would be very dangerous and I had to vomit it out immediately. I asked my mother to prepare a bowl of clean water, and then she picked out some dirt from her fingernails and sprinkled it in it for me to drink. My mother drank the whole bowl of water. I don't know if the bowl of things really worked or it was too disgusting. Anyway, after drinking it, I started to vomit a lot. What I vomited out were some undigested frogs, geckos, snakes, and dirt. It was very disgusting. I vomited a whole bucket. I really don't know how I ate so many disgusting things. After vomiting those things, my stomach hurt no more, but I still got a serious illness. I stayed at home for more than a month and didn’t go to school, let alone go out to play.
From then on, that old house became a forbidden place for us children, and no one dared to approach it.
