Tshaus.
A young girl named Tshaus died in a remote village in far northern Laos. But she kept coming back for her handsome boyfriend, making him shiver and scared every night and day. He wouldn't leave the house for anything and was becoming someone with special needs.
His family summoned a shaman to block Tshaus off.
The shaman and his assistant--you know, the guy who carries the drum and all equipment, plus any rewards like the big head or the big head and a quarter--they put black chicken poops on all the walls to shield Tshaus off. They succeeded.
They had traveled far from home, of course, and were now returning.
From our village, my dad and other villagers saw them coming down the opening path on the side of hill that was sliding down towards the stream before climbing up to our village.
The shaman hopped to the side of the road like he had been pushed there. He fell onto some shrubs there.
The assistant's equipment were thrown around him and the pig head and quarter came off his back. He struggled to be on his feet but just leaned real fast onto the shrubs, too.
Both fell down and were rolling down the hill and to the sides of the path.
The villagers were able to read what was going on already.
"Let's take soybean seeds to cover IT! Bring soybean seeds and let's go cover IT!" the villagers screamed to one another.
After awhile, the other villagers and my dad made it there and threw soybeans all over the area and the two were able to get up. The villagers didn't see anything. But the shaman said Tshaus had attacked them.
