Author: 不懂杀人游戏 Time: 2011-05-18 22:43:00 Has anyone seen or heard of experiences with "little white figures"? 2011-04-04 18:36:53 From: 灿僧(Don't ask me if I'm a monk, because I'm Li Canseng) I often hear the older generation or friends mention it - a kind of thing that only appears at night. I don't know if it's a ghost or an unknown creature. It's about the height of a thermos, all white, seems afraid of people, and doesn't harm people either. Has anyone heard anything about the little white figures? Let's discuss it. 2011-04-04 18:42:51 灿僧 (Don't ask me if I'm a monk, because I'm Li Canseng) I'm from the north. . Maybe this little white figure thing only exists in the north. I heard from a childhood friend before that when he was in first grade of elementary school, he was sleeping at his grandma's house. Around 11 at night, he woke up and saw a row of little white figures walking back and forth in the outer room. Actually, thinking about it now, it wasn't that scary, just felt very strange. He didn't dare to look and quickly covered his head and went back to sleep. That was that one time. > Delete 2011-04-04 18:47:50 灿僧 (Don't ask me if I'm a monk, because I'm Li Canseng) Another time, I heard it from my great-aunt. My grandfather was bold and used to work night shifts. Once, on his way home from work, he felt someone following behind him. Later, he turned his head to look and saw two white figures following him on the left and right. He got scared and hurried away. Then he ran into an acquaintance on the way and greeted him, and the little white figures disappeared. After a while, the little white figures appeared again, so he quickened his pace and went home. When he got back, he told my great-aunt, who is my grandfather's sister. I heard that my grandfather described his body hair standing on end. Well, the story is short, and I'm not good at telling it, but that's about it. It's absolutely true. My great-aunt wouldn't just make something like this up to fool me for no reason.   Author: 不懂杀人游戏 Time: 2011-05-18 22:48:00 2011-04-05 03:27:01 一期一会 (Butterflies can't fly across the sea, no one has the heart to blame) You're talking about little white figures But I encountered something similar to a white figure once - not a small one, but one like a normal person Here's what happened. At that time, my grandfather had a fish pond, and all the children and their spouses went to dig for fish. We younger kids stayed home to play. There was also an aunt who had just given birth and was at home taking care of the baby while also watching me and a few other kids. My uncle drove a bus at the time, and we kids were playing on the bus. When it got dark, we turned on the lights inside the bus. There were 5 or 6 kids, all in elementary school. But as we were playing, I saw several rows of figures coming from the front, and they were white. I don't know if it was white clothes or just something white. We were leaning against the window watching them walk past in rows, and there was no sound. We all saw it at the time and thought it was someone we knew... After they passed, we continued playing. A little while later, they came again, andIt was them, the same team, the same colors, walking over. At that time, the older kid among us said, "guiah!" We were all so scared that we each ran home to our own mothers. As soon as my cousin and I entered the house, we saw our aunt casually lighting candles and burning white paper for fun. Afterwards, I mentioned this encounter to my family several times, wondering if there was some funeral ritual or sacrifice in the village where Grandpa lived, but no one could give me an answer.   Author: Doesn't know the murder game Time: 2011-05-18 23:11:00 Author: wjssym Reply date:2011-5-5 21:20:00 http://www.tianya.cn/techforum/content/16/607576.shtml It is said that the author of that post knew all the secrets of the little people, but due to warnings, the author stopped updating. What a pity. Original post by the author — 『Lotus Ghost Talk』[Experience]Bizarre things encountered in childhood Visits:4075 Replies:26 OP reply Author: Absurd Half Life Date: 2007-11-6 16:23:17 I was born in 73, and spent my childhood in the countryside. What I'm about to tell you is something I personally experienced, and every word is true. In the late70sto80s, there wasn't much entertainment in rural areas, but many traveling performers would come to the village to put on shows like magic, martial arts, and folk performances. They didn't seem to charge money; mostly they accepted donations of rice, flour, or local specialties from the villagers. When I was 7years old, two puppeteers from out of town came. It was morning, and my grandfather was very hospitable, so he invited them to perform a show in front of our house, and our family would provide their lunch. So they brought out their equipment. Calling it a puppet show is just my current way of describing it; I can't remember exactly what it was called back then. The stage was very small, just the size of a woman's dressing table, and the puppets performed inside a wooden shrine box. I didn't understand what play was being performed, but I remember countless little figures coming out one after another inside the shrine, talking and singing, very lively. The strangest thing was that these two puppeteers didn't perform by pulling strings like modern puppeteers do, but instead sat behind the stage with their eyes closed, muttering incantations. Many people in the village found this strange, and my grandfather asked about it. The answer was that the puppets were wound up like clockwork. The show ended, and as luck would have it, it started pouring rain right after. The villagers who had been watching went home, and it was time for lunch. My grandmother prepared food for them and also some wine. I was very curious about the little figures inside the shrine, so while they were eating and drinking, I secretly peeked at them. Through the small window of the shrine, I could see a small table, small chairs, and many colorful little clothes, but I didn't see any little figures inside. I was puzzled, so I pushed open the small door of the shrine and found that it was a multi-layered structure, like a modern duplex, with stairs connecting each level. I knew the little figures must be at the bottom. I was too curious about these little puppets; I had to see why they moved on their own. So I braced myself, rolled up my sleeves, and reached my hand into the bottom layer. Ha, that stirred up a hornet's nest! Inside was chaos, with little figures running around wildly, squealing, like I had poked a rat's nest. My heart leaped with excitement. I quickly grabbed one and pulled it out. Looking closely, I saw it was a woman dressed in white like Bai Suzhen from "Legend of the White Snake." It was kicking and flailing in my hand. Finally, I could see a little figure up close. Calling it a wooden puppet, it actually wasn't made of wood at all. From what I remember now, it felt like it was made of rubber, or even a miniature real person. It had a nose, eyes, and even teeth in its mouth, exactly like a real person. It was about 12cmtall, because when I held it in one hand, its head and feet stuck out. I'm tired, going to rest now.  Author: Miao Zhi Su Time: 2011-05-19 16:46:00 To corroborate the original poster, I'll join in the fun and paste what I replied before: Author: Miaozhisu Reply date: 2010-8-6 11:29:00 This is very possible. When my mother was in her 20s, she was walking side by side with a classmate along a river. It was around noon and very hot. My mother saw a person sitting cross-legged on a large rock in the river: wearing a red square scarf on the head, a yellow Taoist robe, bright red pants, a fair and rosy face, and long black beard. He was looking at my mother. My mother thought it was an opera performer, turned her head to call her companion to look, and when she turned back, there was only a bare large rock. Author: Miaozhisu Reply date: 2010-8-6 11:36:00 Also, still my mother. When she was in her 50s, she went to a rural area and was walking on a road between two mountains. The sky was clear of clouds, except for one large cloud floating leisurely in the sky above the gap between the two mountains. It was quite strange, so she took a few more looks. After a while, it appeared: on that cloud there were many heavenly soldiers and generals. In my mother's words, they were just like the heavenly soldiers and generals attacking Flower Fruit Mountain in the TV drama Journey to the West, but they were very tall, so they could be seen clearly from the ground. If ordinary people were at that height, they would basically be invisible. My mother continued walking forward, and that cloud and those people retreated backward, and then all at once, the cloud and the people disappeared.   Author: Xuefangqun Time: 2011-05-22 14:53:00 Author: Ejinghua yixian276 Reply date: 2010-1-12 15:22:00 Thank you all for replying and sharing your thoughts. Everything I mentioned above is entirely my personal experience. Although our generation received orthodox atheist education, we were also influenced by the traditional teachings of the older generation in folk society. Many things remain mysteries. At this age, I still want to try to clarify some things. Tianya has many young people, but also many experts. Welcome anyone interested to join the discussion. Below I'll share another story from my childhood, which is a bit strange. Five Little Saints Earlier I mentioned that the house we rented was long and narrow, housing four families in total. Among them, Uncle Chen and his wife worked at a knitting factory and had a son a few years older than me. Sometimes when our family had guests, my father and mother would say to Uncle Chen, let me go sleep with Uncle Chen's son. Once a guest came from the countryside, and I slept in the same bed as Uncle Chen's son. I remember it was winter. Uncle Chen and his wife left early for work, and his son also went to school with them, leaving me alone sleeping in their house. That kind of old house had no skylight, only a small old window that could be propped open. During the day it was opened to let in a little light, and at night it was closed to keep out the cold. Now the window was closed, and since it was winter, the room was basically dark. Normally, old people and children would sleep until eight or even nine o'clock before getting up, so I continued sleeping. Although I was sleeping, after all, I was in someone else's room, and with them getting up and turning on the light making a fuss, I wasn't particularly sleepy, in a half-asleep, half-awake state. It was at this moment that the strange thing happened. Through a sliver of light coming through the old wooden wall, I actually saw some little figures, like people on an opera stage, some holding swords and spears, some seemingly riding horses, singing in a murmuring voice, but not loud, like the buzzing of mosquitoes. They were performing right beside my pillow. I wasn't scared at the time. As daylight increased, these little figures disappeared. The whole thing lasted maybe a few minutes. I never told anyone about this. Perhaps as a child I didn't think it was anything strange. When I was a bit older, I heard Grandma Yun say that this house was bought by her husband's grandfather's generation and should have over a hundred years of history. During that time, there were old tales of foxes enchanting people, weasels enchanting people, and raising little saints. Maybe what I saw were little saints. When I got even older, I read Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and saw the story of "Little Hunting Dogs," and I came to believe such things truly exist, but ordinary people rarely see them. Only children might accidentally see them.     Author: Xuefangqun Time: 2011-05-22 15:02:00 Original poster: ABren brother 2008-04-20 14:25 Quote Edit Report When I was little, in the old house at my grandmother's place, I saw two little figures in opera costumes on the wall beam! They were holding hands, walking and laughing! I was 7 or 8 years old then! Both little figures were about 10 centimeters tall, with clear facial features and expressions!It is absolutely true! And I also know that many people have seen it! If anyone has seen it, please contact me! QQ:541615708 From:Club Sofa Bi Ling 2008-04-20 14:56 Quote Reply Edit I heard from my grandmother that she saw it when she was young. 6F Liu Yan 2008-04-20 18:32 Quote Reply Edit I saw it when I was a child, on the mosquito net, making a "squeak squeak" sound from its mouth, I didn't know what it was. I was young then, about 3years old, and didn't know to be afraid. But it never left, so I thought I should cry a little, to show something, and that woke my mother up, and she scolded me quite a bit. 9F kind2007 2008-04-25 15:41 Quote Reply Edit It is a spirit, a creature that lives in four-dimensional space,with a body shape similar to humans,can change,some big and some small, some good and some bad.Like humans, they generally live under eaves,on big trees,in old houses,and in caves,they can change into various faces to scare people and play pranks, and are usually considered ghosts by people.But they generally do not attack people. They are afraid of humans,before humans came to the earthThe ball was once their world, later God created humans to replace them.  61Floors: Wandering Scholar of Ease 2008-06-21 18:11 Quote Reply Edit This might be the legendary golden boy and jade girl. My ancestors said that in the late Qing Dynasty, such a pair of little people appeared in the house, no more than three inches tall, and from then on the family became suddenly wealthy. Has anyone seen little people? My mother and my classmate have both seen them. I wonder if more people have seen them? Views: 1226Reward points: 0 | Resolution time: 2008-5-20 14:35 | Asked by: shufelhy My classmate, while studying at a university in Xi'an, saw two little people. The smaller one was only as tall as a normal person's palm, and the larger one was as tall as a calf. But he said it was a long time ago, and it was very dark at night, so he couldn't see clearly. He only remembered they were human-shaped. Both little people made three consecutive forward-falling movements, just like the requirement during military training, falling straight down. Later, he also saw a huge hand, as thin as a stick, pressing against the window vent of his dormitory, and then he fainted. The next morning he thought it was a dream, but there were obvious huge five-finger marks on the dusty window vent. This happened in a dormitory of a 1950s Russian-style building at a university in Xi'an. My mother was a female oil worker working in the field. Once, during a routine inspection with another colleague, she saw a little person. Her colleague saw it first and screamed in fright. Because my mother is nearsighted and couldn't see clearly, she initially thought it was two chopsticks standing upright, so she moved closer to look. It turned out to be a humanoid little monster, very thin, with long legs standing straight, skin and bones, no hair, and no clothes. It stared at my mother for a moment, then suddenly its eyeballs moved and its body shifted. Only then did my mother realize it was a living creature. She screamed and ran away. When she called others to come look, the little person was nowhere to be seen. This happened during the day......at the edge of the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang I want to know if anyone else has seen such little people. Are they a kind of creature, or an illusion? Is it related to the region? Both my classmate's and my mother's birthdays are on August 28. Could it be related to their birth dates? That forward-falling movement, to me, looks very much like a ritual, a way of bowing or prostrating...... If you have seen them too, please describe in detail what happened at the time...   Author: Chiffon Skirt Time: 2011-05-22 15:25:00 1#Reply Author: dingo123 Reply date: 2010-9-14 23:28:00 For example, what about these two cases below? Does anyone with similar experiences have any thoughts? Author: Lonely in the Sky Reply date: 2010-5-21 14:00:00 54# Then how do I explain that when I was little, I saw a very, very small peacock or phoenix? About the size of a hard...Coin-sized, but by the time I went to catch it, it was gone. ================================================= Damn, after all these years, I finally found someone who has seen something similar. When I was a kid, I saw very tiny people living in the cracks and crevices of the walls in my house. They were about the size of a peanut, completely blue, and had their own carts and stuff—tools, anyway. I saw them and even squashed one or two. The others threw things at me, I got scared and ran away, and after that I never saw them again. This has been bothering me for 20 years. No one believes me when I tell them. Has anyone had a similar experience???????????????????? Author: danliren Reply date:2010-9-15 16:35:00 We called them seven-inch people. 35#Reply Author:JPobscure Reply date:2010-9-17 12:43:00 I heard this from a friend. Before they moved, every night when they went to sleep, they would see little people walking on the blanket, like at a market fair—adults holding children's hands, some carrying shoulder poles... They didn't find it strange. Finally, out of curiosity, they reached out and grabbed one of the little people. In an instant, the little person seemed to grow much bigger, and my friend felt like they were thrown from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed. After that, the little people stopped coming around often. My friend said they only saw them occasionally after that, and then they moved, and never saw those little people again. 36#Reply Author: Dancing Little Fox Reply date:2010-9-17 12:46:00 In my old hometown of Gulangyu, little people appeared too. When I stayed at my relative's Gold Pumpkin Tower, I saw little people, but they were much bigger than what you described—about a foot tall. Their faces were green and wrinkled like old people. My grandmother said they were tree spirits or vine monsters. Later, I heard from my mom that on a street called Zhonghua Road in Gulangyu, a family had the same thing happen. Many people who rented there would move out after a while, all saying they had seen little people, but they wouldn't say exactly what they looked like. 42#Reply Author: Deep Ravine Hidden Dragon888 Reply date:2010-9-18 0:14:00 When I was a kid, I saw a little person poke his head out from under the mattress. Blue face, black beard, head the size of a ping-pong ball, clear facial features, but he immediately went back in. I flipped over the mattress and found nothing. I don't know what it was. 44#Reply Author: Qianxiang, why haven't you gone bankrupt yet Reply date:2010-9-18 0:24:00 Hei That's my strangest one. Who can tell me what I saw? That so-called person was probably less than a meter tall. The clothes seemed to be black. He walked extremely fast, otherwise I wouldn't have failed to see his face every time. He could walk through walls, and sometimes he would emerge from the ground. Anyway, he was really fast. I saw him when I was three or four years old, and never saw him again after that. I also told my parents about it. My mother was very scared, and my father was very calm.     Author: Chiffon Skirt Time: 2011-05-22 15:30:00 48#Reply Author:momo1031 Reply Date:2010-9-18 1:41:00 I actually started a dedicated post about this before. I've seen the mummified corpse of a little person, about the size of an elementary school student's palm~~ 53#Reply Author:simpleheihei Reply Date:2010-9-18 9:49:00 There was a childhood playmate from the countryside. One night, his parents were playing mahjong in the outer room, and he was playing on the bed in the inner room. Then he saw several little black figures jumping around on his quilt. He cried and called for his mother, but when she came, she couldn't see anything.

Could you please elaborate a bit more? ------------------------------------------------------ I started a dedicated post about it. Those who are interestedtxcan go check it out themselves~ I was only in second or third grade back then. There was a river next to our school, and we dug it up right by that river. We were planning to roast sweet potatoes at the time. But instead, we dug this up. This mummy was even smaller than our palms at the time, but the facial features were quite clear. The arms and legs were all there, very complete. The skin color was very dark, dry and wrinkled, and it was lying straight and stiff. (Don't say it was an aborted baby — absolutely not. It definitely wasn't a fake doll either, and absolutely, absolutely not.) We were truly fearless young calves back then. We weren't scared at all at the time. We just thought it was fun, and we were passing it around and comparing it in our hands. I even touched it, and it felt weird. In the end, the boy who dug it up, who was my neighbor, snatched it from our hands, threw it onto the ground beside us, then picked up the shovel we were using to dig the hole and smashed it to pieces with one hit. Then he buried it with dirt. We were all stunned, not knowing what he was doing. He told us it was the corpse of a little baby. We weren't scared before, but after hearing him say that, we got a bit frightened. We ran home without even taking the sweet potatoes and potatoes. When I got back, I told my parents about it, and they said I was talking nonsense. After that, I never mentioned it again. Author: jedarpon Reply Date:2010-9-20 21:29:00 They really do exist. I have a cousin who saw one on her way home from evening self-study in the 1970s, and she was so scared she fell ill afterwards. 86#Reply Author:hijackChuan Reply date:2010-9-21 0:14:00 Ah!!! I remember seeing a very small airplane circling above a newly built house when I was a child. It seemed to be made of aluminum, and behind it trailed a thin line of white smoke. Another time, a tiny white airplane kept flying right in front of me. My grandmother called me to catch it, but just as I was about to grab it, the airplane disappeared.   Author: chiffon skirt Time: 2011-05-22 15:34:00 91#Reply Author: ruthless person, crude trick Reply date:2010-9-21 22:15:00 My grandmother saw it. She was seriously ill at the time and saw a bunch of little people going in and out on the windowsill. She thought she was going to die, but in the end she gradually recovered. 94#Reply Author: luck about to turn Reply date:2010-9-21 22:42:00 I remember a guy also saw one in the train restroom. It was an old man with a white beard, about the size of a finger, clinging to the window....He was so scared he couldn't pee. That day it was rainy and lightning, and his grandmother said that those who did many bad deeds in their previous life were punished by heaven, struck by lightning.... 101#Reply Author: open a hilltop to plant trees Reply date:2010-9-22 23:44:00 I also saw it once when I was little. There were 7 or 8 of them on a jujube tree in my yard, seemingly performing an opera. They were all wearing stage costumes. I could even faintly hear the sound of gongs and drums... At the time, when my mom called me, after I answered and turned back around, they were gone... 102#Reply Author:ck_009 Reply date:2010-9-22 23:56:00 I've seen a flying little airplane!!!! It was 92, I was six years old, eating breakfast in the yard when it flew past. At that time, everything around was single-story houses, so it couldn't have been a remote-controlled plane. It even circled around our parasol tree once and immediately flew away. Over a decade has passed, and I still remember it vividly!!! 115#Reply Author:YOlittle grass Reply date:2010-9-25 14:23:00 When I was little, I only saw an old lady with bound feet, wearing old-style clothes and her hair coiled in a bun at the back of her head, holding a child's hand. The two of them walked along the top of the wall, strolling slowly as if taking a walk. The old lady kept looking down at the road, just like that... At the time, I had just started kindergarten. I didn't think it was strange when I saw it. I just found it novel and pointed at it for my family to see, but I couldn't explain it clearly, and I don't know if anyone in my family saw it either... This childhood memory is incomplete, haha... 127#Reply Author:rt626 Reply date:2010-9-27 0:12:00 Here in our area (you all know Wenchuan, right?) there are many small people's graves and stone coffins, all exposed by the earthquake. I remember before the earthquake, Chengdu TV station even broadcast local legends about small people. I wonder if they'd be interested in doing a follow-up investigation report now that physical evidence has come out? If you're interested in going to see them, reply to me here, and I'll tell you the specific address, or I can even accompany you to take a look when I have time.........
