Trouble in China: Vampires & Ghosts
By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager/Ghostwriter

Case # 0352093834. But, with this case, I need to do a follow-up, so henceforth the case number. Only the cases that I need to look back upon with a follow-up, get case numbers and this is one of them. The date is January 31, 2009, Saturday. This morning I get an urgent call from a mid twenties Asian girl that calls herself Sonye. Sonye is a science major at UC Davis and a foreign exchange student. She was born and raised in Shang-hai. Before, I talk about Sonye, let me tell you how my Friday went.

This has been a busy weekend, Gina De La Rosa (HPI Scout), met with me at Fanny Anns in Old Sacramento on Friday, where I tried to do some EVP work, then she showed me another haunted location in Old Sacramento, a nightclub called 2nd Grand Saloon - 200 K Street. My EVP work was unsuccessful this night, due to all of the human traffic in and around these areas. Izus Lohcins, a patron outside of 2nd Grand Saloon tells me that I need to check the place out late at night. Because around 4am, there are sounds of dancing and laughter. The sounds of a possible residual haunting. I left Old Sacramento and headed over to Strikes (a new bowling alley) in Elk Grove to go over my recordings using Audacity on my laptop. I found a quiet spot in the lounge to try and analyse any strange phenomenon that I may have recorded. No such luck. Friday was a disappointing night for ghosthunting.

Now that it is Saturday, I am hoping my urgent call will be something of interest. I meet with Sonye at Starbucks in Davis. Before Sonye begins the interview, she asks to talk with Valerie Rankin. She has heard about Valerie in my articles. I call Valerie and Valerie gives Sonye a reading over the phone. Sonye comes back after the phone conversation and begins her story. She tells me about the paranormal con artists of China. She tells me that on the streets of Shang-hai there are many people that claim to be psychics and can channel the deceased into their bodies. This allows the deceased to talk through their bodies. They of course have an expensive fee for the person that wants to talk to their deceased grandmother. Another paranormal con artist is the fortune teller that uses an assortment of coins to predict your future. Another fee is charged to the misfortunate and misinformed.

Besides the paranormal con-artists, I now wanted to know what was troubling this young lady. She tells me that her uncle is haunted by the Kuei. The Kuei are ghosts in China that have either died a violent death or committed suicide. These type of ghosts are evil. Her uncle encountered a Kuei one day in his apartment. The candle that was lit on his desk started burning green, this is a strong indication that the Kuei are nearby. He looked in the bedroom mirror and saw an apparition with a red hankerchief over it's face. After encountering this entity, her uncle had 3 years of misfortune fall upon him.

Another incident that happened in her family is when a Chiang-Shih (Chinese Vampire) attacked her young female first cousin. She tells me that a Chiang-Shih is usually a violent vampire that died a violent death during the commission of a crime. Her cousin one night was walking down an alley and a hopping corpse chased her down the alley. I asked Sonye why does this vampire hop? She tells me that a newly dead vampire is set in rigor mortis, so therefore it hops, because it cannot move it's limbs properly. Later on as a vampire, it will become more agile. She tells me that this type of vampire has a strong blood lust and is seen with large talons and fangs. It has such fetid breath. The breath of this vampire is so ghastly, it can make you pass out. To avoid this kind of vampire, she has learned that if you hold your breath, it may walk right past you, because it seeks out its victims by smelling the victim's breath. She goes on to tell me that the vampire that was following her cousin was attacked by this vampire. The attack was sexual.

The reason Sonye wanted to meet with me is to find out the results of my investigation in San Francisco, when I interviewed vampires. She wanted to know if I believe in ghosts and vampires and she wanted to know my encounters with ghosts and vampires. I told her that the vampires I interviewed in San Francisco believe they are vampires and it may all be a mental delusion that they are having. I truly did not think they are real vampires. Do I actually believe in real vampires? Perhaps, but I have never encountered one. Are there ghosts? From my experience as a paranormal investigator, I would have to say that there appears to be life after death. I have encountered many ghostly activities since I have been a paranormal investigator.

After I fully explained my answers to Sonye and told her about some of my paranormal adventures, she felt satisfied knowing that perhaps her uncle and cousin did encounter something truly paranormal and that they are not losing their minds.

After my meeting with Sonye and as I walked alone into the Davis twilight night, I thought I glimpsed a pale young man. Someone yelled...Edward...Edward Cullen! I thought to myself, this couldn't be THE Edward Anthony Mason Cullen, bio: DOB: June 20, 1901. Status: Vampire. Date of Transformation: 1918. Special Abilities: Ming Reading, Super-Speed and Extraordinary Strength. Nah...just my mind playing tricks on me. I've been watching too many movies.
