Sister Zhang then told us that it was not just that. At first, the management thought that it might be a mechanical failure. Since no one was injured and the cause could not be found out, they could only make do with it. It cannot be because of some owners.
They were dissatisfied and spent a lot of money to re-equip the elevator, right? But later, some elderly people living in this building also said that when they took the elevator upstairs, they would occasionally hear women crying.
Neither Hu Zongren nor I spoke, so Sister Zhang explained that this building is a single-family building built by a small developer, so although the floors are relatively high, there are only two elevators. The businesses in the podium, such as
Car sales stores or supermarkets do not occupy this high-rise elevator. At most, customers park their cars in the garage and go up from the garage on the second floor to the street level on the LG floor. And the complaints they have received here are:
There were no people from the podium below, they were all from the households upstairs. When the old people talked about the woman’s cry, this attracted Sister Zhang’s attention. So she did it without disturbing other employees.
I retrieved a lot of surveillance footage from the elevator to check.
Hu Zongren interrupted Sister Zhang and said, but the elevator monitoring only has images and no sound. How can you find out who is crying? Sister Zhang nodded and said that she also thought of this at first, because the monitoring equipment in this community is a flash memory.
type, that is to say, it can record about a week of video, and then if there is no theft or serious accident after a week, the system will automatically delete the previous video, so as to save space in a loop, something like this
I guess that makes sense, but coincidentally, when she started to look through the video, there were incidents where several owners had their hair sucked, and the situation was exactly the same as what the first owner on the 17th floor complained.
Sister Zhang said that when she looked through the video of that day, she was very surprised to find that at the moment when one of the owners' hair was pulled up, several long and thin hair appeared in a corner of the surveillance camera, as if
It was something like a finger, flashing past. Hu Zongren said, so you suspect that this house is haunted, and this ghost is lying on the top of the elevator car, and pulls people's hair when they don't like it, right?
Sister Zhang was noncommittal and just went on to say that because the surveillance camera of the elevator was installed on the rear left side, the angle of view included all positions except the blind spot of the top of the elevator and the rear left corner. And precisely because the top could not be photographed, the top was inexplicable.
The few finger-like things that pop out will look particularly strange. If there is really something hidden in the blind spot of the surveillance, then there should be no reason for finger-like things to pop out from the top.
Sister Zhang said that she then repeatedly froze and checked the moment when the finger appeared. In less than a second, the owner's hair was floating upward when it appeared. When it disappeared, it seemed as if it was grabbed by something. So.
At first, Sister Zhang began to believe what the old man in the building said about the woman crying in the elevator.
Hu Zongren asked Sister Zhang, do you still have that video here? Sister Zhang said yes, she had prepared it long ago when she knew he was coming. Hu Zongren said, okay, please show it to us.
The surveillance picture is indeed what Sister Zhang said. If you don't pause or slow down to watch it, it really looks like your hair is being pulled by hands. Then we slow down the speed, or even stop and take a closer look. There is no doubt that
I discovered that it was just a few fingers.
In this way, the matter was already finalized. That meant that Hu Zongren had definitely earned the money. So Hu Zongren proposed that he wanted to take a look in the elevator and ask Sister Zhang to give her all the money she currently had.
We have to make a copy of all the weird videos. We have to study them carefully. Sister Zhang said a little embarrassedly, this elevator is at the end of the office. When you came just now, I took you to the stairs. That’s because
, I really don’t have the courage to take the elevator.
After saying that, Sister Zhang took us towards the elevator, but judging from her intentions, she was unwilling to follow us into the elevator. We carefully observed the terrain and found that the entire negative first floor was occupied by property management offices and
In the security guard's lounge, there is an open space at the end of the corridor. The doors of the two elevators are juxtaposed in the middle, and surrounding the elevator shaft is an arc-shaped driveway, presumably for outsiders to come in.
The vehicle went down to the second floor and was prepared. After sending us to the elevator door, Sister Zhang pointed to the elevator on the left and said, this is the elevator that had the accident, the other one is completely fine. Please, please take this elevator.
We have found out the matter clearly.
Hu Zongren asked Sister Zhang if the elevator can also be used on the second floor below, right? Sister Zhang said yes. Owners with cars in the building usually get into the elevator directly from the second floor after parking their cars. Hu Zongren also said, this
The second floor below is the bottom floor of this building, right? Sister Zhang said yes, further down, there are foundation septic tanks and the like. Hu Zongren nodded and said, okay, let’s go sit on the second floor
.
So Hu Zongren pulled me down the driveway and asked me for a cigarette on the way. As he smoked, he told me that there was no ashtray in my mother's office, which was really suffocating me.
When we walked to the second floor below, there were densely packed cars parked there. There was an old man at the elevator entrance who specialized in issuing cards to collect fees. He was probably still wondering why these two young people came down here to take the elevator. Hu Zongren and I were pressing the button for the elevator.
Finally, I put out my cigarette butts, and as soon as the elevator arrived, I immediately got in.
It was a weekend, and it was almost noon, so there was basically no one there. So after entering the elevator, Hu Zongren started pressing the buttons from the LG floor all the way to the 22nd floor. It seemed that this building had a 22nd floor. After pressing the buttons
, he shamelessly made a V-shaped hand gesture to the surveillance camera, which looked a lot like a lobster. I observed the car carefully. The inner wall was covered with various small advertisements to unclog the car.
Mainly for unlocking pipelines and applying for certificates. There is something similar to a radio hung on the side of the elevator near the screen. As soon as the elevator runs, the radio will start to play some advertising information, such as emotional intelligence education or English training. The floor of the elevator
It is made of stone and is surrounded by frosted stainless steel plates. There is no reflection, which greatly reduces the possibility of this type of elevator being haunted. The top of the elevator is relatively dilapidated, and the lampshade used for lighting has completely disappeared, revealing the naked
Surrounding the fluorescent tube, there is a "mouth"-shaped ventilation hole with a small fence. Presumably this is the hole that sucked the owner's hair.
When we got to the LG floor, no one got on the elevator, so after closing the door, Hu Zongren said to me, use your compass to see what is wrong. So I took out the compass and started looking around, but the strange thing was
, but I didn’t find any trace of ghosts at all.
This shouldn't have been done. If the video Sister Zhang showed us at that time was not faked, even if the ghost was not in the elevator at this moment, then at least it had appeared here. Since it had appeared, then I
It shouldn't be impossible to find traces of it. The elevator drove all the way to the top floor, but there was still nothing wrong. So we took the top floor back to the negative first floor. During this period, other owners got on the elevator, and we
Don't use compass nails to scare people. After returning to Sister Zhang's office, Hu Zongren said that we had carefully inspected the elevator. Not only did there not be any hair-sucking phenomena as you mentioned, we even had ghosts in it.
No traces were found. Hu Zongren said this was strange, but he still couldn't figure out why.
So Hu Zongren said to Sister Zhang, let’s borrow your computer and let’s watch the video again. So for almost an hour, Hu Zongren and I squatted in front of the computer and repeatedly compared the numbers.
After watching the video, we all seemed to see something wrong, because we found several common points in the existing videos.
The first thing in common is that the hair-pulling phenomenon occurred. The owners who were sued were all women, and they were all relatively young women who looked less than 30 years old. Among them, there were many who were in Hu Zongren's taste.
I can see the smacking look on his face. Secondly, these women who were recruited all have long, black, straight hair. At least the hair can be long enough to be tall enough with the height of the owner.
Looking at the top of the elevator. The third thing is that whether it was these female owners or the old people who noticed the crying as mentioned by Sister Zhang later, the hair-pulling incident and the time when the crying appeared all happened at 7:48 p.m.
.
In addition, Hu Zongren and I also noticed that one of the nights at around 7:48, someone also got on the elevator, but it was a middle-aged man with a child who looked like a primary school student. The man was very tall and stood tall.
The location is exactly the place where his hair is most likely to be sucked, but he was completely fine and got off by himself after reaching the floor. The fourth point in common, which we think is the most critical point, is that all of these tricks or
The residents who heard the crying all live above the 10th floor of this building.
It must be said that this greatly narrowed the scope of our investigation. So Hu Zongren and I made a relatively reliable guess, that is, this ghost specifically targets women, and they are all young and look pretty.
Not a bad woman. Secondly, since it allows the old people to hear her cry, if it is not to hurt and scare the old people, then it is to attract their attention.
And why choose the elderly? There are many possibilities. So far, Hu Zongren and I really have no idea about this. Although children and the elderly belong to two ends of the life trajectory, they are also the group most likely to see ghosts, but if
To jump to a conclusion like that seems to lack persuasiveness.
I looked at the time and saw that it was only around 1 noon. It was still quite a long time before 7:48 pm, because Hu Zongren and I both thought that if we wanted to explore the traces of this ghost, we would have to wait until
Only at night. After being silent for a while, Hu Zongren touched me and said he would go out with me.
After saying that, he stood up and said to Sister Zhang, "Sister Zhang, let's go out and prepare some necessary things now. Don't be busy leaving after get off work today. Wait for us in the office. We will be back around 5 o'clock. By then we may I need your cooperation. Sister Zhang said puzzledly, what do you want me to cooperate with? Why would I invite you if I knew better? Hu Zongren said, you just need to put the elevator maintenance fence on the ground floor, and then put the wire control Just change it so that people can't press the elevator.
Hu Zongren and I walked out of the office and walked to the street level. He asked me for a cigarette again and lit it. I asked him, you have everything you carry with you, what else do you need to prepare? Hu Zongren said, you
Do you know where in Chongqing they sell costumes and props? I was still puzzled, so I answered him that I know. There are a lot of them in the area where these two intersections go to Loquat Mountain. Why go there? He still didn’t answer me, and then he thought about it.
Say, how much money do you have on you? I touched my butt, not because I was satisfied with the shape of my butt, but because I habitually put my wallet in my bag on my butt. I said it was only a few hundred yuan.
Let me first say, there is no way I can lend you money! He said with a smile, haha, no need for that, a few hundred yuan is enough.
I continued to ask him, what on earth are you going to do?
He blew out a puff of smoke, then reached out and picked his nose, and said casually, "We are going to buy wigs and pretend to be women."
