"I...um...the thing, the thing is...it should have happened 3 months ago. I mean, the beginning of it should've began 3 months ago. ...On the weekends, three months ago, I took my family to the park to play. On the outskirts of the Forest Park. My little girl wanted to row a boat, so we rented out a boat with an electric motor and a paddle at the park. We drove to the middle of the lake and she wanted to paddle, so I went with her. We rowed and rowed...Ss——hu——We rowed and I saw something. Hu...hu…"
"Mr. Fang, what did you see?"
"I-I-I thought it was garbage at first. We were in the park, so there must be people who litter in the lake, right? There must be relatively heavy garbage, too, right? Uh, uh, uh...I really thought it was garbage and just looked at it…."
"Mr. Fang, you can continue."
"Oh...oh, continue...garbage...I thought it was garbage and took a look at it, I took a look...And in the water next to my paddle there was a head...At that time, I didn't know that it was a human head! The long black hair floating on the water with a pale face and I didn't come to my senses! With the bright sun and the whole lake reflecting the light, I simply couldn't see! It just looked like a piece of garbage! I even used my paddle to nudge it and it didn't budge like it was very heavy. I, I...I…"
"Mr. Fang, you can drink some tea, relax, and talk slowly."
"Tea? No! I don't want it! I don't want it, I don't want water!"
"Mr. Fang, stay calm. Take deep breath first and relax."
"Ss...hu——hu——"
"Can you continue talking about it?"
"Yes, yes I can. That time I wanted to take a closer look, but there were other people coming over. They drove the motor which made a loud sound and a wave. I looked up and waited for the wave to pass, but when I looked down, it was gone. It was really gone! I was just rowing the boat and did not touch anything! You think about it, can you really blame me for this? I really don't know! The thing was gone and I'm not at ease, too! Who would be at ease right now?"
"Well, you are right."
"Then, I saw it…"
"Mr. Fang, what did you see?"
"..."
"Mr. Fang?"
"I… I saw the head again… It was in the water reflection, underneath was black hair, a pale face… Oh… oh, oh."
"You still couldn't see the facial parts?"
"...I couldn't see clearly… I still can't see it clearly… I… When I saw it, I just threw the kettle into the water. The water inside came out, I, I saw the face… that face, it just flowed out! It really looked like that kind of… the kind of shampoo or body wash, that kind of thickness. It just came out like that!"
"What happened after it flowed out?"
"It went down the sewer and disappeared."
"Did you see the face again, later?"
"..."
"Mr. Fang?"
"I can still see it! At first, I saw it for a longer time like around once or twice per week. Sometimes it's when I shower. When the water goes on the floor tiles, I see… I see the face on the tile."
"Still can't see the facial features?"
"Yeah."
"Other times? Do you always see it when there is water?"
"Yes. I always see it in the water. In the toilet, when I flush it, I saw that face getting flushed down the toilet! Also, in my goldfish bowl! When I was feeding the fish and I saw that face just floating on the surface of the water. I was so scared, I fell down! I looked again and it disappeared…"
"Did you see in your home?"
"When it started, I would only see at home, but not anymore! I was washing my hands during work and there was something coming from the water…"
"The face?"
"No, it wasn't. It was hair!"
"Did you see it that time, or did you touch it?"
"..."
"Mr. Fang, you didn't touch it that time, right?"
"I… I touched… the hair… I… I, I…"
"Mr. Fang, please use the tissue. Relax, our place is very safe. If you want to solve this problem, please let us know what happen and we can solve it for you."
"Yes, yes. Thank you. … I will continue now."
"Yes, continue."
"That time, I was able to touch that thing. Washing my hands, showering, and whenever I touch water, I was always able to touch the hair. I also see it more often! Before I can only see it in the water and not in my drinks. And then why I was drinking my coffee, I all of a sudden was able to see that face!"
"So, it's still a pale face with black hair and no facial features?"
"Yes! Very clear! Coffee is a brownish color and I was drinking those ordinary coffee which is brown, but in the cup, there was a black and white… It was very clear that it was a human head!"
"Yes, I understand now. What you said before is the problem, right?"
"Yeah, it's like that."
"If it's rude of me to ask, but do you have a history of mental illness? Or when everything happened, did you go to a psychiatrist or asked help from someone?"
"No! I am not crazy! I really saw that face! I've also thought about if I was really crazy or not… But I really saw it! And I see it more and more frequently! I even touched it! That hair… sticky and wet…" He then vomited at the thought of it.
"Please calm down. This is a routine issue. Many times, people think that supernatural problems are caused by illusions or other such reasons. If we're going to investigate, then we must need to find all the certain possibilities."
Mr. Fang took a deep breath. "Ok then… I really am not crazy… But I have not seen a therapist either."
"Then, have you went to a temple and other places for help?"
"I have. I talked about it with my wife and she accompanied me for incense."
"How was the result?"
"That day… That day nothing happened but afterwards it started to happen again. We went to get a prayer from the prayer beads but…"
"But what?"
"My daughter broke the thread…"
"Did you go to the temple again?"
"My wife brought me with her and we asked for some beads, but it's useless. I went back there myself and looked for a monk and it was better for a few days, but it started to happen again. I really can't stand it anymore… I always see it… I told my wife already and we even went to the park's lake and burned incense, but it was useless!"
"I understand. We will go to Forest Park to investigate first and meanwhile you can use our talisman made by us."
"What? What! Thank you! Thank you!"
"You're welcome. I just need to confirm with you that the first time you saw the head it was at the lake at Forest Park, right?"
"Yes! It started from there!"
"And the face you saw only had black hair and a pale face and no facial features. You weren't able to tell the gender or looks by it, right?"
"Yes."
"Besides you, your family members haven't encountered the same situation?"
"They haven't."
"Ok, we will start the investigation as soon as possible and we will keep in touch with you. Please contact us if anything happens."
"Ok!"
