The moment Madam Lau’s son sat down in front of Grandmaster Chew, he frowned and told them, ”There is a teenager girl spirit with long hair wearing a blue school uniform behind you. Do you know of any deceased persons like this?”

Upon hearing Grandmaster’s words, Madam Lau’s son went silent and looked at the floor with shame and started crying. Madam Lau then explained to Grandmaster Chew that when her son was in secondary school, he had an admirer who professed her feelings for her son. However her love was unreciprocated and she subsequently committed suicide in a moment of folly.

What they did not know is that the spirit of the teenage girl will come back to haunt their son, causing him to experience mental breakdowns all these time.
