"Deadly Curve, Ghosts of Husband and Wife Who Died Violently"

Crying from the Curve

An old wooden house is located near a sharp curve outside the village. No one dares to stay near that point after the sun sets because everyone in the neighborhood has told each other that... The cries of a pregnant woman and the sound of a man groaning in pain still ring out every night without a source.

Five years ago...

John and his wife, Dessy, were a couple who loved each other very much. Even though they were poor, they endured and built a life together. Dessy was seven months pregnant. john rode a motorcycle to take his wife to see a doctor in the city. But on the way back at night, it rained heavily. The road was slippery and pitch back. At the curve in front of his house. John tried to swerve to avoid a dog that ran in front of him.

The car lost control and hit a large tree. Dessy was hit hard and died. John was lying there breathing faintly, but no one found her immediately... Until the next morning, the bodies of both were found in a horrifying state.

After the funeral, everything should have ended...

But it didn't.

The spirits waited to return home.

Several months later, people in the village began to experience strange events.

Some nights, people saw the shadow of a pregnant woman standing on the side of the road at the curve. Bowing his head and crying

Some nights, he saw a man staggering, blood flowing all over his body, dragging his legs as if they were broken, standing in the middle of the road.

Any motorcyclist who did not stop or was disrespectful would have an accident every time.

Uncle Bobby, an ice delivery driver, said that that night, he was driving through a curve and saw a young woman standing on the side of the road, waving and crying. He braked just in time. When he got out to look, he found that no one was there... but the sound of a baby crying softly came from the grass on the side of the road.

Secret under the tree roots

One day, a wandering monk passed by and took refuge under the large tree where the accident happened. He said that the two spirits did not want to go anywhere because ''Dessy'' died as a baby. The spirit of the baby in her womb was still attached to the mother. As for John, he still felt guilty for causing the deaths of his wife and child.

So he performed a ceremony to invite the spirits to come and talk.. Suddenly, there was a strong wind. leaves were flying, and the smell of blood filled the air, So the monk lit incense in the middle of the night and prayed to the spiritsThe two of them really appeared in front of him.

Dessy cried and sobbed.

''We do not want to go anywhere. We will wait for our child to be born. Will wait until someone accepts to be the new parents of that child…''

The curve is still waiting for someone

Even though merit-making has been made over and over again, the cries and the shadows of the two still circle the same curve every night.

An old woman believes that ''If there is no one to be a surrogate mother or adopt the spirit of the child in the womb, the spirits of the two will never be at peace.''

Until today, when it is dark and the rain starts to fall…

Whoever rides through the curve outside the village, do not turn on the high beams.

Because the lights will reflect the shadows of a pregnant woman and a blood-soaked man, standing and staring at you…

Waiting to see… whether you are the right person for his child…
