So I hope you guys enjoy some of these episodes.
Maybe you might not have heard. I went through the archives here, and today's episode is a re-broadcast of the drop-head people of Ancient China, a little bit of a spooky story on this flashback Friday. This is Source from TaoistSourcery.blogspot.com. I'm telling you guys, this is my very favorite website. It has so much cool stuff.
It's my go to, when I am out of ideas for podcasts. It always gives me something new to think about. So today I'm covering the flying head goes of Ancient China. Apparently, this is said to these flying head ghosts, which just looks like a head with apparently like the spine and the entrails and everything still attached to it pretty creepy, right? These are generally thought of to be a Southeast Asian sort of folklore or ghost, but apparently they are also found in Ancient China.
So this is TaoistSourcery.blogspot.com reads that actually about a few thousand years ago, flying head ghosts were already recorded in several ancient Chinese literature in the book, So Shanji, and Search of Supernatural. They were written in the four-century it reads, during the Shan Dynasty, there was a tribe of people in the south known as Drophead People. Loud to mean. They hold a kind of ritual ceremony known as Chonglu. Bug and Wormdropping.
As such its name apparently Chonglu Min actually needs Bug and Wormdropping. During the three kingdoms period in Eastern Wu General, Zhu Hong employed a female maid from the southern part of China. Every night before she went to bed, her head would separate from her body and fly away. Sometimes it would go in and out of building via the dog shelter and sometimes through a window using her ears in wings. And she would arrive back just before dawn.
After a few nights of the same incident, the servant who slept near her gruesome fishes, one night they brought the lamp into the room and saw only her body with no head. The body was slightly cold and it's breathing was faint and the other servants covered it with the blanket and waited. As Zan approached the head came back, both her blanket and the way of her body it could not go back together. She had to hit the ground a few times, groaning and grinding its teeth and looking pretty unhappy. Breathing grew, ragged and she looked very close to death.
So they pulled the blanket away where upon her head, locked up again and reattached itself to the neck and everything was calm again. General Zuhan felt this was very uncanny, obviously. It adnurved him so much that he sent her away. It wasn't until later he investigated the matter a bit, the he learned it was just a natural ability. Other generals who went far to the south often captured drop heads, one covered the neck of a drop head with a bronze plate pervading the head from joining back to the body and killing it.
Records of Tai Ping, Guangji, extensive records from the Tai Ping era, a collection of stories compiled early in the song Dynasty, Reed in the east of Yushan, southwest of Dragon City. There is a wide land of 1000 miles covered with saline soil or salt soil. People would pass here to take a rest and their cows and horses need to rest on carpet. At the southern side of the mountain stream, often there are people with heads that can fly, therefore they are called flying head for bearings. There is one person, one day before the flight of his head, that would be a scar around his neck like a piece of red thread.
His wife and children would look at him at night. This person would seem sick and his head would suddenly separate for his body and fly away. His head land at the sand of the riverbank and search of crabs and worms to eat. Before dawn his head would fly back to join his body and he felt as if it just woke up from a dream and a stomach was full from his meal. Uncle also said that over at Shi Pu Huo, currently an Indian Indian country, that was probably ancient Jawa and Suu Matra.
There are people that's heads can pose head can fly. There are people that have eyes without people to one flying head happen to drop on the ground in a weird incidence with being recorded by person. In the book Bo Wu Xi, the record of diverse matters it reads, at the southern side there are drop head people whose heads can fly with ears as wings. Before dawn their heads return during eastern Wu period always happen to see such people. There's also a count of flying head people in different parts of the world.
So apparently there are accounts from China, Japan, South America, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Bali, and Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. So these are again a lot of Southeast Asian countries who also account these strange tales of flying head people. For a free energy mapping of your floor plan please check the link in the show notes.
