About this episode
Dennis Chew aka Mr. Zhou opens with a chilling real account from a Japanese mountain-valley hot-spring inn, where a man staying in a quiet, old wooden room is awakened by gentle knocking; when he opens the door, the corridor is empty, yet he soon sees a distorted shadow with long, wet hair projected on a wall near the women’s bath, and watches in terror as the shadow slowly approaches and appears right at his doorway, leaving him frozen until morning. The next day, the innkeeper reveals that a woman had hanged herself in that very room three years before, and CCTV footage confirmed the shadow’s unnerving proximity—causing the man to swear off isolated inns forever. The program then transitions to additional stories from the hosts: an encounter in a Hong Kong hotel with a half-transparent elderly figure; a wedding-hotel incident where everyone suffered unexplained insomnia, irritability, and even the newlyweds’ sudden personality changes, later linked to a tragic past event in the building; and a dramatic tale of playing “dish spirit” (Die Xian), where a summoned “nineteen-year-old girl” spirit allegedly caused whispered voices at night and even flung a metal bucket at someone during a cleansing ritual. Listeners also submit military-camp stories, including one soldier being pushed down a staircase by an unseen force after playing Die Xian, and another who fell ill after a teammate saw a semi-transparent shadow standing behind him “absorbing something.” The episode concludes with the full team giving heartfelt year-end messages and announcing that Zhou Gong Jiang Gui will pause for three weeks before returning in 2026. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????“???”???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????“???????”????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????“????”?????????????????????????? 2025 ???????????????????? 2026 ????See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
