Yinan

Biodata

Background / History

Yinan began suffering recurring nightmares during a trip. Even after changing rooms, she could not sleep and reported hearing children laughing; she subsequently insisted on returning home early. On the train, she violently lashed out at two children in the aisle, screaming at them, attempting to strike them, and arguing with their parents until the conductor separated her from the situation 13.

Her condition continued after returning home. She said children were laughing beside her and calling her “Mommy,” despite there being no children in nearby homes. Sleeping pills allowed her to rest, but she later became withdrawn at work, asked coworkers whether they heard children’s voices, and chased a coworker’s child before fighting with the coworker 13.

Yinan later jumped to her death. Witnesses, including her husband, reported that after she landed on her stomach, a full-term infant crawled from her ruptured abdomen while crying. The child vanished before police and medical personnel could investigate it; many later dismissed the event as a mass hallucination 14.
