"I... uh... the thing, the thing is... it should have happened about three months ago. I mean, the beginning of it should have been about three months ago... Three months ago, on a weekend, I took my family to the park. You know, the forest park on the outskirts of the city. My little girl insisted on rowing, so we rented a boat from the park, one of those small boats with an electric motor, but it also had oars. We rowed to the middle of the lake, she wanted to row, so I rowed with her. As we were rowing... hiss... puff... while rowing, I hit something. Puff... puff..."

"Mr. Fang, what did you hit?"

"Uh, I, I thought it was trash at first. In a park, right? People throw trash in the lake, don't they? There's heavy trash, right? Heh, hehe... I really thought it was trash, so I casually turned my head to look..."

"Mr. Fang, please continue."

"Oh... oh, continue... trash... I thought it was trash, so I looked... I looked, and I saw in the water... right next to my oar, there was a head... I didn't know it was a head at first! Long, dark hair floating, the face was deathly pale, I couldn't see any features! It was broad daylight, the whole lake was reflecting the sun, I couldn't see clearly at all! It just looked like trash! I even poked it with my oar, it just swayed, seemed heavy, and didn't move. I, I... I..."

"Mr. Fang, have some tea, relax, take your time."

"Tea? No! Don't! Gulp... Don't, don't give me water!"

"Mr. Fang, please calm down. Take a deep breath, relax."

"Mmm... puff-- puff--"

"Can you continue?"

"Okay, okay. At that time, I wanted to get a closer look, but another boat came over. They were using their motor, there was noise, and waves, so I looked up, and by the time I looked down again, the thing was gone. It was really gone! I rowed again, and didn't hit anything! Tell me, can you blame me? I really didn't know! The thing was gone, so I didn't think anything of it! Who would think anything of it?"

"Mmm, you're right."

"But that thing latched onto me! It latched onto me! After we went home, maybe two or three days later, when I was boiling water... you know those electric kettles? Ours, about this big, stainless steel interior, the silver kind, doesn't reflect. And the kitchen sink is like this, a long faucet in an inverted U-shape. When I fill it like this, I see the upper half of the interior. Just this much, you usually can't see much, right? Just a silver surface, right?"

"Yes, I understand."

"Then I saw..."

"Mr. Fang, what did you see?"

"..."

"Mr. Fang?"

"I... I saw that head again... upside down, it looked like the reflection of the water being filled in the interior, black hair below, white face above... Mmm... woo, hiss..."

"Still couldn't see the features?"

"Puff... Mmm... couldn't see... still couldn't see... I... I smashed the kettle when I saw it, right into the sink. The water flowed out, and I, I saw that face... that face flowed out with it! Really, it was like that... like shampoo or body wash, that thick kind, it just flowed out like that!"

"What happened after it flowed out?"

"It flowed into the drain, and then it was gone."

"After that, did you see the face again?"

"..."

"Mr. Fang?"

"I saw it again! At first, there were long intervals, maybe once or twice a week. Sometimes when I was showering. We have a shower, and when the water hit the tiles, I saw... I saw that face on the tiles."

"Still couldn't see the features?"

"Mmm."

"Anything else? Was it always when there was water?"

"Mmm. Always saw it in water. In the toilet, when flushing, I saw the face being sucked down! And in the fish tank! When I was feeding the fish, I saw the face floating on the surface of the water. I was so scared I fell! When I looked again, it disappeared..."

"Did you only see it at home?"

"At first, only at home, but later it wasn't! When I washed my hands at the company, something flowed out of the faucet..."

"That face?"

"No, not, not that, just, just hair!"

"Did you just see it like before, or did you touch it this time?"

"..."

"Mr. Fang, did you touch it this time?"

"I... I touched it... it was hair... woo, woo woo..."

"Mr. Fang, please use these tissues. Rest assured, you are safe here. If you wish to resolve this issue, please tell us your experiences in detail so we can help you."

"Okay, okay. Thank you. Huuu... I'll continue."

"Please do."

"After that incident, I started being able to touch that thing. Washing my hands, showering, anything involving water, I could touch that hair. And I saw it more often! Before, I only saw it in water; if it was like a drink, I wouldn't see it. Then, while drinking coffee, I suddenly saw that face!"

"Still the same pale face with no features and black hair?"

"Yes! It was very clear! Coffee is brown, I was drinking regular brown coffee, but inside the cup, black and white... it was clearly a person's head!"

"Mmm, I understand. Are these all the situations?"

"That's it."

"Forgive me for asking, do you have a history of mental illness? Or, after these things started happening, did you see a psychologist or seek help from others?"

"No! I'm not crazy! I really saw those things! I did wonder if I was going crazy... but I really saw it! And it's happening more and more frequently! I even touched it! That hair... it was sticky, damp... Ugh!"

"Please calm down, this is a routine question. Often, what people perceive as supernatural events are illusions or caused by other factors. When we investigate, we need to rule out all possibilities."

"Huuu... Okay... I'm really not crazy... but I haven't seen a psychologist."

"Then, have you sought help at temples or similar places?"

"Yes. I told my wife, and she went with me to offer incense."

"What was the result?"

"That day... nothing happened that day, but it started again afterward. We asked for blessed prayer beads, but..."

"But what?"

"My daughter broke the string..."

"Did you not go back to the temple to pray?"

"My wife went on my behalf and got more prayer beads, but they didn't work. I went back myself later and asked a master to perform a ritual. It was better for a few days, then I started seeing it again. I really can't take it anymore... I keep, keep seeing it... I told my wife, and we even went to the park lake to burn incense and pray, but none of it helped!"

"I understand. We will investigate the forest park first. In the meantime, you can use this protective charm made by our agency."

"Ah? Ah! Thank you! Thank you!"

"You're welcome. I just need to confirm, the first appearance of this head you saw was in the lake at the forest park, correct?"

"Yes! That's when it all started!"

"The head you saw only had black hair and a white face, no features, so you couldn't determine its appearance or gender, correct?"

"Correct."

"Besides you, your family members have not encountered the same situation?"

"No, they haven't."

"Alright, we will begin our investigation as soon as possible and keep you updated. Please also contact us immediately if anything happens."

"Okay!"
