One Dark night in Japan, there lived a girl named Ping she was
The princess of a hidden city under a mountain where most people believed she died at. You’re
Probably wondering why I would start a scary story with information like this well if you have
Patience I will get to my point. Ping a long time ago lived in a normal village with her family
Her mother Pan died in the valley below the village where Ping would visit every day, she
Missed her mother very much. One day Ping as usual went down to the valley where her mother
Had died and she took something out of her pocket it was a necklace, the necklace that her
Mother had given her just before she died ping every once in a while would go to the water
Fountain to clean the dirt off of the shiny silver angel shaped locket. While Ping was cleaning
Her dead mother beautiful keepsake she suddenly stopped because she heard a voice screaming
PING!!! Ping quickly stood up and looked around, but nothing was there so when Ping couldn’t
See anyone she turned around and saw a sight that she knew wasn’t real. “mom?” Ping looked
Looked into the fountain closer to see her mother Pan screaming she was yelling for HELP
“Ping help, help me!” Ping screaming fell to the ground and the water from the fountain rose up
to form her mother reaching out to her and screaming “PING HELP ME PLEASE!!!” Ping got
up off of the ground and ran up to her father she told him what happened. Her father drunk with
a bottle in his hand smacked her and told her to go to her room and to never come back out Ping
being obedient went to her room and closed the door. (later on that night) Ping on tip toes snuck
out of her room and onto the out side patio. Thinking about what happened Ping was confused
she thought to herself ‘maybe it was my mother but how she’s dead! A few seconds later Ping
wished she hadn’t said that because she started hearing the voice again ‘PING!!’ Ping in fear
turned around and froze at the sight of her mother’s dead body walking very slowly from the
valley “Ping don’t be afraid I’m your mother I wouldn’t hurt you” swallowing hard Ping watched
the slow moving carcass as it walked closer and closer to her and when she finally caught her
breath she ran thinking only of her brothers and sisters she thought if she could get it away
someone heard it coming she could then trap it somewhere. Ping being tired looked around to see
where she could go to trap the imposter and she kept running until she found a castle which was
built into a mountain it looked as if the mountain swallowed it half way Ping ran inside not
caring who was there and she hid inside of a cabinet in one of the rooms and sat down and stayed
quiet. (the next day) Ping woke up to find herself in a place where she didn’t hide and thought to
herself ‘how’d I get here?’ “you’re home Ping” said a women’s voice coming from the other side
of the room Ping quickly got up and turned around to find a women sitting down in a rocking
chair “who are you?” Ping asked, “I’m your mother Ping don’t you remember?” Ping took a step
back towards the door “mom? No it cant be true my mother’s dead” Pan laughed in a loud voice
and said I’m not dead silly I’m right here” Ping stopped and started walking towards the women
“mom!” Ping started running then and hugged the figure then everything turned dark and the
figure she was hugging turned ugly again to a corpse with maggots coming out of the eyes and
the stench of forty thousand years. Ping was never seen again after the day she ran to her father
and although everybody searched for her for 3 months she was never found but one day her
brother long after went down to the fountain and found a note and it read:
