Image extracted from Turbo photo. (This looks like my "moth")I spotted it clinging to the wall above my bed. It is medium-sized with brown wings. A year has lapsed since I saw a moth. They usually appear during the Hungry Ghost Festival or All Souls Day. Taoists believe the dead come back to visit the living in the form of insects.
Seeing the moth did not bring fear to me. Spirits wander everywhere. They are not new to me. I saw them often. Usually they allowed me a view of their backs, except one. It was terrifying not the face but the appearance and her boldness. Her hair untidily flowed down below her waist, falling forward hiding her face. She was tall probably 5’ 5”. She stood silently at the foot of my bed with both hands by her sides, staring down at me. Instinctively I gasped, covered my head with my blanket. After the shock, I lowered it. She was gone. I do not know who she was but I would like to think it was my sister and that she is harmless.
I do not intend to communicate with spirits. I do not want them to cling to me, using me as a host. I felt their presence behind me. It was only when their forces were strong that fear overcame me and I fled. Whenever I saw them and they were silent and calm, I did not leave the room. Since moving into this house, I have seen them six times, thrice the male and thrice the female. I do not know whether they are two or six of them.
I am suspicious of their presence. Who were they? Do they have bad intentions?
