So everyone took her

to be a witch...

and always chased her away

when they saw her.

The children treated

her like a monster.

Even I threw stones at her

when I was a kid...

Because none of you could believe

that she foresaw death?

Maybe it was because of fear.

So, do you believe it now?

This is it.

Mrs. Chui, these two friends

are from Hong Kong.

Nobody welcomed Ling.

So she hardly ever set foot

in the village

Yet, on the night of the fire,

many saw her running around

shouting hysterically...

as if talking to herself.

Since everyone detested Ling,

no one paid any attention to her

Some villagers threw water on her

to drive her away.

Around midnight,

a big fire erupted...

and kept burning till noon

the next day.

Among the deceased

300 were burnt beyond recognition.

How exactly did Ling die?

She hanged herself.

Ling killed herself the day

after the big fire.

Is Mrs. Chui all right?

She's fine.

So you too believed that

she wasn't insane,

but that she only saw things

no one else could.

She foresaw a big disaster

and tried to warn everyone,

but no one listened to her.

I don't understand any of this

spiritual stuff.

I just want you two to know that

Ling was a very kind person...

and she had a tough life.

Can I take a look at Ling's room?

Tonight...

...I want to stay here.

I'll take you to Ling's grave

tomorrow morning.

You've been very kind to us,

thank you.

You should go to bed now.

Alright, I'll stay next door.

Shout if anything happens.

I know you've wanted me

to come here all this time.

Well, here I am now.

What do you want to tell me?

... ill-fated... ill-fated...

Hurry... take her to the hospital!

Get lost...

You should be ashamed of yourself...

You are a curse!

Told you not to come here!

She's evil! Don't ever play with her!

Go save him! Save my boy...

Help him... Make him breathe...

What have you done to my boy...

You little b*tch! Go to hell...

She's evil!

Stay away from my house! Get lost!

Be reasonable!

My daughter is only trying to help...

Go away!

Mrs. Chui, I know how to help Ling

let's go upstairs to see her.

Her most painful time was not

in the past,

it's right now!

Since she killed herself,

she's been trapped in a time warp...

constantly repeating her suicide.

She was dead.

How can someone who's dead

die again?

Listen to me,

very soon she'll appear upstairs.

Let's go up to see her!

I won't see her!

I spent my whole life protecting her,

I never once gave up on her,

but she gave up on herself!

For that I can never forgive her!

Just listen,

I'm sure you hear this sound

every night.

Ling died at 3'o clock,

didn't she?

Mrs. Chui, come with me and
