Story 1: Who Do You Believe?
In a certain year, a university mountaineering club organized a climbing activity. The members included a couple. As everyone was preparing to climb the mountain at the foot of the hill, the weather suddenly changed drastically. However, they still decided to set off, leaving the girl of the couple to stay at the camp. After three days without seeing them return, the girl started to worry, thinking that the weather might have delayed them. On the seventh day, everyone finally returned, but her boyfriend was the only one missing. They told her that her boyfriend had unfortunately died in a mountain accident on the first day of departure. They rushed back before the seventh day, intending to accompany her to wait for her boyfriend to return.
Just before midnight, her boyfriend suddenly appeared! Covered in blood, he grabbed her and ran. The girl screamed in fear and struggled fiercely.

Story 2:Dad Carrying Mom on His Back
A couple frequently had disagreements in their daily life. One day, during an argument, the husband acted impulsively and tragically killed his wife. He buried her body in the backyard. After a few days, he noticed that his children hadn't seen their mother but didn't ask him about it. So he asked one of them, "Have you seen your mom lately?" The child replied innocently, "Nope!

Story 3hy Are There So Many People?
One day, Ah Ming returned home from work and pressed the elevator to go to his home on the sixth floor. Fortunately, the elevator quickly came up from the basement to the first floor. When he entered the elevator, he didn't encounter any neighbors, but when the elevator reached the fourth floor, the elevator doors opened, and there were two people outside who wanted to get in but didn't step in. When the elevator doors closed, Ah Ming clearly heard them say, "Strange? Why are there so many people?"

Story 4: The Red Ribbon
A doctor finished his shift at midnight and was preparing to go home. As he approached the elevator, he encountered a nurse from the neighboring department, and they took the elevator downstairs together. Strangely, the elevator did not stop at the first floor but continued to descend. When it reached the third floor underground, the elevator door opened, and a little girl appeared in front of them, lowering her head and saying she wanted to take the elevator.
Seeing this, the doctor hurriedly closed the elevator door. The nurse asked him, "Why don't you let her come up?" The doctor slowly said, "This is the hospital's morgue! Each corpse's right hand is tied with a red ribbon, and she has a red ribbon on her right hand." After listening, the nurse slowly extended her right hand and said with a smile, "Like this one?"
Story 5: Two Sons
One evening, a father was preparing to put his son to bed. However, his son said to him, "Daddy, can you check under my bed for monsters? I'm a bit scared."

Everyone shouted, "Of course we would be scared! What kind of joke is that!"
