If you hear a woman screaming for help, and the sound seems to be coming from inside your walls, what’s your first instinct? Is it: There’s a woman trapped in the walls? Or, OH MY GOD IT’S A GHOST!
In China, apparently the answer is . . . OH MY GOD IT’S A GHOST!
Late on Saturday, a woman was walking home in Anhui, in eastern China, and tried to take a shortcut through a narrow passage between buildings. It got narrower, and she ended up getting stuck . . . so she started screaming for help.
But no one in the buildings helped her . . . because they apparently all believed they were hearing a shrieking ghost. Seriously. And she was trapped there for 7 hours.
Finally, someone walking by heard the screams, and thought they might be coming from a non-ghost human. So he called for help.
Firefighters got the woman out of the wall in about 20 minutes, and she was okay.
Here’s a video . . . in Chinese . . . that shows the firefighters chipping away at the wall to rescue the woman.
