I'd be making the buster sword out of the sumac branch

best thread in all of PH!!!  yeah!!

Funny you mention that. A couple of my npawgs are really into learning and hais txiv xaiv. One day I got a call from one of them asking if I can send them a good size sumac branch. I asked what they needed for, and he told me to make swords. First I was thinking to myself why they needed sumac to make swords, then I recall the old people saying poj ntxoog ntshai ntaj huab txhib.

My brother came to visit, and I sent along with him two good size sumac branch.

On our (g-pa & I) return flight fm back east, my g-pa made a bundle of cov ntaj huab txhib.  I thought I gave him all of them when we arrived, but as I unpacked, there were two at the bottom of the cooler.  I kept it in my car for a wk, but I didn't have the chance to drop it off, so I tossed it.  I knew it was to prevent spirits fm entering their home, but I wasn't aware of the puj ntxoog.  It gives me an eerie feeling dropping by their apt complex (Summerset in Fresno) after dark.
 
OMG......the night before our departure, my mom told me to go get the frozen goods fm the red house (my parents built a storage house and placed at least 4/500ft fm the house) so I can pack. Being ascary cat that I am, I asked my sil to go w/me.  Ugggghhh....sh e didn't keep it to herself and stated, "Oh, I can't blame you for the uneasy feeling, because your brother have seen a little girl standing in front of the red house several times as he fix his cars into the late night".  Oouuuuu....giv e me the chills thinking about it (0340).  Man, I went to bed around 0200 and boy-o-boy....i couldn't fall asleep and my imagination went wild, because the guest bedroom is facing the red shouse and my sil decorated the window w/ a pink sheer and see-through girly curtain.  I got so scared, tossing and turning.  Thank God g-pa was sleeping in the living room (more like 2hr naps), so i grabbed the blanket and pillow, went to sleep on one of the couch.  

I haven't seen (thank God i'm not privileged enough to see/hear or experience anything in our village),because my parents have and iD heard stories fm my siblings after I got married.

Anyways, I have never been sat on by FAT until we were resting at my mil's house.  Fat is scared when you called God/Vaajstwv or Hallelujyaj.  For those couple of times, kuv has Halleluyaj, more like scream, then i'm set free.  Damn, at my mil's house, if you think about it or sense it's presence, damn.......koj maag nug sit on you. 

Anyways, I ntshai ntshai lawm, I no type lawm os......

JKL, your story about the rest area reminded me of a story my friend shared with me.

It was close to 3 in the morning and my friend's family was traveling from Charlotte, NC back to Morganton, NC.  It's not a long drive---about 1.5 hour or so---but the kids had to use the restroom so they stopped at a rest stop.  It was deserted but they went and did their business then continued their drive back home. 

That night when they got home, one of the family members got sat on.  The next night, another member got sat on.  This cycle continued for a few nights until they confronted a shaman about the re-occurring experience.  Turns out, while they were at the rest stop, something followed them home.

OGs always say to never stop at deserted places because spirits that linger in that area will follow you and such.  I never stop at rest areas after sunset; heard too many stories.

summer set apartments in Fresno are haunted as hell. back in the 90s before the complex got dozed over, it was full of Hmong and laos people, so you can imagine all the dead old folks and jingle bell and gang related deaths.

Thought I'll share this weird story. I'll let you judge if it was a fluke or a coincident.

 Anyways, Me and the wife we were driving on Larpenteur heading towards Rice St. to caribou coffee. Right before the railroad track. I asked if the wifey, if she remembers the white house that sat next to the track. She said "no", so I told her that the old lady that lived there died, and the city tore the house down. So we droved pass the track and I made a right turn just before BK. And all of a sudden my car smelled like meeka candle. I thought.. HMmmm W T hell. I asked if the wife could smell wat I smell.
She said "yea" it does smell like candle in here... I wasn't scary or anything. Cuz it was like 2-3 in the afternoon.

So as I turned into the drive through at the coffee shop. I said it out loud, like this (Okay lady.. You need to get out of my car.)
And all of a sudden the smell went away.. My wife was LOL.

Scary shit Shampoo. Yea Friant Road is freakin haunted. Now it's better but back then the casino used to serve alcohol and the road used to only have one lane for each side. People will drink n drive on that long curvy road or casino workers would drive back sleepy from overtime. Now it's better no more alcohol and the road is now two lanes.

My cousin used to work there and one day after work he stopped by to help a lady's dead car on the road. While getting out of his car to help, he got struck by an old lady and his body flew far into the fields killing him instantly. Reports of dead officers giving tickets. Also the road borders Lost Lake, where lots of Hmong peps drown and die

OMG......no wonder why I always have eerie feelings going there after 10pm, and it explains why majority of the doors have red corn peach tree, wooden swords and whatever to ware off spirit.  The small gates are locked after dark and if I go visit usually drop off something, I had to drive to the main entrance gate, which my g-pa lives across FIRM on Weldon Ave.  On the long drive tl his apartment, I'm alert and scared.  I'll try not to go there late anymore.

Thanks

Your wife laughed it off? Funny. Is she Hmong? Usually, Caucasian laugh it off when they think we are superstitious.

haha 

Reminds me of one of my husband's aunt.

It was 2am when she came knocking at our door, asking us if she could come inside. She looked weird and acted differently than she usually would. It was such an odd feeling. Well, my dad, before he passed, had put a wooden statue at my wall facing the door. It's suppose to protect you and the house and bring luck to the family. Btw, When she placed her foot on the rim of the doorstep, she stopped. Blocked her face as if something so bright had shone on her and backed away. Mind you, this was like 2am and pitch dark.

My hubb looked at her and asked, if she was ok. She looked down and whispered that we should take down the wooden statue because it was placed wronged. My hubb told her to come in and that he will take it off cause he doesn't really know where it belonged. I stared at the statue and back at my hubb's aunt. She was just so different, more scary. So i stopped my hubb and said "Stop".

I told my hubb he can't touch anything my father put up and I told his aunt to leave. It was already so late and that she should just go home before her family worry. I held onto the door and as if going to close it a little, we saw her lick her lips and all of a sudden, his aunt shook, her eyes rolled back and she fell forward. I screamed at my hubb to move away and moved infront of him to block him. His aunt fell towards me and into the house. She stood up and said "Nyab, cas kuv nyob ntawd no?" in english, "Daughter in law, how come I am here?"

My hubb thought we were both crazy and ushered her in. She told us, one minute she was driving home from work, but this time, she took a different route cause she was dropping one of her co-worker home in the country side near table mountain casino in fresno, ca. The next thing she remenbered was that, something else came into her car and she told it to go away.

She said she knew it was somebody dead, but she didn't know why it was in her car. Next thing she know, she was at our door. Weird thing is, we just moved. She and the rest of the relatives don't even know where we live.

So she must have been possessed then?

[yajmafia]

This was told from my mil's tais hluas:

During my fil's burial, our aunt went over to a fresh grave site, saying "O, tug neeg tuag no tseem hlua heev tag".  That night, that person came into her dream.
