    This story reminds me of that Edgar Allen Poe story where the character killed someone and then buried the body under his floorboard. Then kept hearing a heart beating before he finally told the police what happened. It was his heartbeat that drove him mad and to confess.

      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.

      I’m only five min in and I already have all that I need
      Like AS SOON as I heard “he really hated the stray cats and dogs everywhere/in the area” I immediately paused to audibly go:
      “Oh no- I can already see where this is going and I don’t like it PLEASE don’t tell me he’s one of those Murder-y types, because they always start with killing animals- especially stray cats and dogs-“
      ….
      then when I heard abt the crossbow and animal killing, I was like- “y’know what….maybe if a co-worker confessed that to me I might not so secretly shoot them with a crossbow too- 👀”
      --
      Ballen: “He really obsessed over these stray cats and dogs and how much he considered them a nuisance and wanted them GONE from his area”
      “god- CANT imagine how he’d feel about homeless people 😒”

      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.

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.

    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.

      She might like stories for kids too ?
      If the voice is important try to listen and find out some she maybe like ?
      Murder blood ghosts and dead bodies are very common in MrBallen stories.
      It’s only a suggestion, do as you want. It is your own kid, not mine. And do not think I am rude or anything like that it was not my intention.

    So the dude killed her, beheaded her, and said he buried her whole body in the same place. Authorities check it out and can't find the head, pyscho dude says her spirit is using her head to haunt him and the authorities are like, "Yep, that sounds plausible and quite practical coming from you. 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.

      There’s no proof or any type of evidence in this story other than a police officer claiming to have been pushed. This guy was already crazy, so it’s not farfetched to think he imagined all of this

    • @MarioGoatse
      @MarioGoatse 7 місяців тому +3

      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.

      ​@@MarioGoatseproof in court is and should be a much more stringent standard. But just think about it more locally to you. If you knew someone who was an honest guy, never really said anything about supernatural stuff, doesn't really have a reason to lie. I certainly have people I know that I wouldn't believe and people that I 100% would believe. I guess it would be on his colleagues they probably know his character best.

      @@Ben-iz9ud That's not how proof or evidence works. That's just an anecdote. If I just "took their word for it" nobody would ever go to jail cause they'd just say they didn't do it. People lie. They exaggerate. They get mistaken. They forget. They get coerced. They get influenced. A person's word is not enough to prove such a massive claim.

      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".
