back in laos, in the late 60's my dad had a uncle who was very sick. It was said that a girl ghost wanted to marry him. Some days he would see her and go "there she is" to his wife and kids. One day he got really sick and was about to pass to the other realm, so my grandpa and his other brothers and cousins decided to use peach branches, and an other type of tree "forgot what its call" to beat the ghost up. As they sat around his bed, he saw the ghost up in his ceiling. He yelled out in a breathless voice "there she is" pointing to the ceiling. all of a sudden everybody started swinging and whacking their branches around. Out of no where they heard a lady's voice screaming towards the door and out the house. After that day my dad's uncle got better and lived a long life.
when my pops told me this story i was like are you sure. He was like "yep, i was a kid when that happen i heard the ghost screaming out the door but no one saw anything" I was like Woo...!
