Some people think they're immune from consequences. Then they are surprised when the consequences appear. I think it is ironic that Liu begged Buddha for relief, when Buddha taught the Eightfold Path plainly to tell people how to end their suffering and dissipate consequences. Liu could have been happy by his own actions instead of relying on prayer. I think even Amitabha Buddha doesn't take murderers to the Pure Land.

It is hilariously tragic that this man was apparently enough of a believer in the Buddha's teachings to beg for help, yet completely glossed over the first 5 precepts. Then later in Ghatva Sutta, it was explicitly warned against as well, word for word: Having killed what do you sleep in ease? Having killed what do you not grieve? Of the slaying of what one thing does Gotama approve? [The Buddha:] Having killed anger you sleep in ease. Having killed anger you do not grieve. The noble ones praise the slaying of anger - with its honeyed crest & poison root - for having killed it you do not grieve.

Life will never be the same. I thought I'd feel better when I got his ashes home but I still talk to him everyday & cry. I'm old so that is my last pet. Don't want them to outlive us do we. There are still places that I can not vacuum up his fur. I have a paw print I'm getting it tattooed on my shoulder where he would put his paw every morning to wake me up. I don't have any tats so it will be my only ink. Thank god there are more animal lovers in the world than those who are cruel to them. And before the trolls turn out in force, no I don't eat meat at all ever.

It must be a ghost because no respectable crossbow wielding psychopath murderer could possibly be dishonest about his actions leading up to this discovery." Yep, got it.

The police had a body, a weapon, a motive, a suspect, and a confession. That would be enough to secure a conviction. The bit about the murderer claiming the victim's head was haunting him... yeah, I wouldn't argue the scientific validity of that to a judge. That information might be used as psychological evidence of the murderer's guilt haunting him, but an actual decapitated head missing from a grave haunting him? I would check the guy's fridge first.

She made sure he wouldn’t forget her or get away with it.
When I was 5-years-old, immediately after my grandmother died (I attended her Open Casket funeral), I used to regularly get telephone calls from her, whenever I walked past the beige, landline telephone in our dining room. The year was 1970. On the last time she called, my whole family was in the dining room, and when she asked how I was doing, I told her I was doing fine, and that everyone in the family was present, and also doing fine. The next time the phone rang (as I walked past), when I picked-up the receiver I heard, through the ear piece, a musical aria, as if it were sung by angels.

This story reminds me of both Edgar Allen Poe’s ‘The Telltale Heart’ and Fyodor Dostoevsky’s ‘Crime and Punishment’ (and also a little bit of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’). All of them deal with how guilt haunts a person who takes the life of another.

If you are NOT listening to Bedtime Stories, Run Fool!, and MrBallen's Medical Mysteries... you are missing out! If you love MrB, you'll love them. The medical mysteries is definitely my favorite but by a very small margin. They're all that good. Thanks MrB ❤❤

Why is that? Because a mentally unwell murderer told a fanciful story and one officer claimed to have felt a push? That's some very shaky evidence. I wouldn't want to present it to a court and attempt to convince them that it's proof of a real paranormal event. It's much too easy to poke holes in claims that aren't verifiable.

I just want to say R.I.P to this young girl who died so savagely. I find it sad that ppl are so excited to hear a story that every comment is about a cool story and not about the fact a sweet innocent young lady lost her life so horrifically and her poor parents can't even bury her as a whole because this freak won't tell them where her head is. I love Mr Ballen too and his story telling abilities but the lack of sensitivity leaves me shocked at everyone. Her family may be reading these comments because someone has finally told her story and all they are seeing is praise to the story teller. Come on ppl have a little heart here the least you could do is acknowledge the fact someone lost their life for no reason. I just needed to say that. Thank you John for telling her story and maybe warning ppl that staying with cab drivers in these places is not such a good idea.

I just stumbled upon your channel and I love your story telling! I’m originally from Taiwan, I remember this story… I don’t remember/know that cab drivers offered lodging to passengers. I know that Liu saw that she was alone, so he started formulating devious thoughts and ended up inviting her to stay with him to save money. Unfortunately, she agreed. A famous forensic scientist at that time worked on this case. His name is Yang Jih-Song. He worked on many high profile cases in Taiwan and had many interesting (some paranormal) stories. He worked this case alongside Dr. Henry Lee, another renowned forensic scientist, who has a cadaver farm in the US.

Well, depends on religion. I cannot recall the specific one, but in it there is the belief that humans do not become ghosts. Nevertheless, if a person dies with a deep grudge, it can cause an evil, vengeful spirit to remain. So, with that concept, if you are being haunted by a spirit, it is automatically "evil".
