  • Thai man returns temple toy after son sees ghosts

    Thai man returns temple toy after son sees ghosts

    News emerged that a 31 year old man returned a toy to a temple in Nakhon Nayok province after his son began to see ghosts. The boy’s father, Phonchai, and his family had visited the temple to pay respects and inadvertently took home a Hulk action figure which they believe triggered unusual happenings.

    The temple, Lam Bua Loi Temple in Tha Ruea, Pak Phli district, is a common pilgrimage site with a stream of devotees visiting to pay respects and request blessings from the revered monk, Luang Por Sanit Yasintharo, former abbot of the temple. Also known for its belief in the fulfilment of wishes after a crocodile bath, many devotees return to offer thanks once their wishes are met.

    But, in a turn of events, Phonchai who hails from the Sa Kaeo province, came with his family and son carrying the Hulk toy, flowers, and a set of offerings to pay respect to Luang Por Sanit. On probing, Phonchai revealed that he had visited the temple once before and his son had picked up the Hulk toy during that visit. Consequently, his son began experiencing health issues, even a severe one resulting in a dislocated arm.

    Furthermore, the family began to witness a large male figure wandering around their house and the child would repeatedly utter “ghost, ghost, ghost.” Believing these incidents to be linked to the taken toy, Phonchai decided to return it to the temple. Today, he lit incense sticks and prayed to Luang Por Sanit.

    “We didn’t intend to take it. We have returned it. Please bless our family with peace.”

    Temple officials were initially under the impression that Phonchai had brought something to offer or to fulfil a vow. They were surprised to learn that he had come to return something instead.

    He shared that his son was constantly crying, claiming to see ghosts, and many people in their household including his mother and girlfriend had seen a large figure roaming around their house almost every night, causing them sleepless nights. He concluded, Don’t underestimate what we can’t see or believe, reported Sanook.

    Boo in Nong Bon: Local grandma spooks community with twilight tales of ghostly bamboo antics

    Rumours have spread throughout the Nong Bon community that an older woman known as Grandma Prapong is a local ghost, reportedly seen lurking in the bamboo forest and exhibiting peculiar behaviour at dusk. The intrigue escalated to such an extent that it frightened children into feverish states, leading local paranormal investigator, Prasert, to intervene and verify the validity of these ghostly claims.

    The whispers began to circulate in the Nong Bon community, in Nikhom Pattana district, Rayong province, yesterday, around 3pm. locals were adamant that they had seen an old woman, assumed to be a ghost, scavenging for food at twilight. The rumours reached Prasert, who is known for his spiritual sensitivity, prompting him to examine whether the ghostly claims were human or supernatural.

    Accompanied by his trusty snake Gigi, Prasert ventured to the outskirts of the village where Grandma Prapong was said to emerge from the bamboo grove at dusk. Upon arrival, they encountered, 65 years old Prapong Rarum, with sparse white hair, stepping out from the bamboo. When asked, whether she was a ghost, the elderly woman responded in a faint voice, “No.”

    Prapong explained that she liked to venture into the forest to look for bees, forage for wild goods, and collect rubbish to sell old items. She denied being a ghost or a ghoul. Her fondness for scaring the local children, she explained, was due to their unruly behaviour, as they would not go home even after dusk. Some were so frightened that they fell sick.

    Prapong further advised that people should not be afraid of ghosts, but rather, they should fear humans, as some can be much more terrifying.

    After interacting with Prapong, Prasert concluded that she was merely a pitiable woman trying to make ends meet. He then kindly offered her a sum of money to buy rice, reported Sanook.
