THE SPIRIT WATCHES
IN SMALL VILLAGES OF THAILAND, IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE SPIRIT
OF SOME NATIVE OF THAT TOWN STILL WATCHES OVER IT, PROTECTING
THE TOWN FROM EVIL, THE SPIRIT MAKES HIMSELF KNOWN BY
APPEARING TO A FEW OF THE VILLAGERS, MAKING HIS AUTHENTICITY BY
TELLING THE VILLAGERS THEIR LIFE HISTORY IN ITS' ENTIRETY.
THIS HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN MANY CASES, AND NO EXPLANATION
CAN BE GIVEN OF A NATURAL SORT.
