Jiang pretended to be drunk to seduce the ghost to appear, but again, he could see none of them at all. 02br 02br 00One night, having caught sight of phosphorescence through a few trees, Jiang ran desperately toward it, but which, disappeared when he arrived. Then he felt disappointed so much. He gave up as it lasted one month odd without any finding. 02br 02br 00Usually ghosts can frighten off(scare away) human beings because they take advantage of panic of human beings.
