"Who would have known," he mused, "that his concubines, one after another, said they saw ghosts in the house. Eventually, each one of them hanged themselves. Even Ministry Councillor Gao claimed to have seen ghosts in the house, and afterward, the Gao Family was so frightened they moved away from here. The house has been vacant ever since, and it's been ten years. I guess the weeds in the yard have grown taller than a person by now."
Xiao Yuchuan continued, "I've also heard that in the ten years since the Gao Family left, they've been trying to sell the house. But occasionally people in town hear ghastly wails of spirits at midnight within these walls. There have even been children playing pranks, sneaking into the house at night, who saw a female ghost in red with blood oozing out of her seven orifices. No one wants to buy a haunted house like this."
