The story-painted skin actually continues. The wife finds out about her husbands death and begs the priest to help her,he then tells her to go to a place where there will be a beggar and he will be able to help her. The place is very far away and she travels across mountains and finally arrives at a village where she finds the beggar. The people there tell her that he is mental and tells the wife not to listen to the beggar. But the wife is very desperate and pleads the beggar to help her. The beggar turns out to actually be the priest who put the wife on a test to see if her love was true for her husband. The priest grants her wish and when she returns home, her husband came back to life.
uhh... it's actually much more disgusting than this: When the wife went to the marketplace to find the beggar, she found the beggar all dirty and smelly. The wife then begged him to bring her husband back to life, but he refused, saying that he is just a regular guy. The wife then “kowtowed” to the beggar and he finally agreed, telling her to *swallow his spit* and she did that. When the wife went back home, she saw that her husband was still dead as ever. She felt that she did all this for nothing, only to be tricked and humilated, so she cried in misery. Suddenly she felt a lump in her throat and spit it out. It was her husband's beating heart. She then immediately put the heart in her husband's body and pressed hard to stop the heart from escaping. The husband then return to life and they lived happily ever after since.
From the version of painted skin I heard, after the dude's heart was stol- ripped out, his wife went to see a priest. The priest made the wife swallow his spit and went to the dude's house. The wife, pissed that she swallowed the priest's spit persevered since she wanted to save her husband. When both the priest and wife got to the house, the priest opened the dudes's body like a book. The wife, upon seeing the inside of her husband's body, is disgusted and spits up the priest's spit which magically transforms into a human heart. Dude revives and happily ever after.
Once I think I read in a book about a Japanese horror story about this school girl's ghost haunting a school in one of the bathroom stalls. The only way to get rid of her is to show her a perfect straight a test.
ghosts in china are normally described as kind and innocent in the late dynasty. chinese ghost stories always try to tell people that the living ones who hast evil thoughts are scarier than those who are dead. and the dead became ghosts because they died of injustice. they want retribution or a new trial to bring the murderer into justice.
Can you do ghost superstitions? E.g. Today my mother told me that Chinese people don't want to live in houses where people have committed suicide because the spirit will drive someone else to commit suicide in order to replace them so they can move on.
Watching this really late at night with a storm outside... Also going out later on... Good time to watch this video and crap my pants during the night... Smart idea right?
There's one about a cave where you can see your past or your future. As in the past, you can see what you were in your past life before you were reincarnated into the person you are now, and the future can tell you what your greatest achievement in this life will be. A man who's a famous author walks into the cave and wishes to see his future. His wish is granted and he was them allowed to see his last successful work before he falls from grace, where his works are no longer prized. When he leaves the cave the man goes home and starts on the final project that he was shown in the cave, and when he was finished, he committed suicide because he did not want to live his life only admiring one work that he would never surpass. (I guess it's not that scary, but I thought so when I was young.)
Instead of finding these scary I found these funny because you guys are too damn funny! omg I love you guys and those drawings are awesome and the sound effects added on to me laughing more.
You guys are awesome. I love all the stories and information you guys give. I highly appreciate it. Does OTGW have a vine account? That could get you guys a lot of publicity.
Lol I saw this vid and the creepy stories vid 2 and I wasn't as scared cuz u guys were narrating :) I'm chinese as well, cantonese 2 be precise :D AWESOME VID!
Uhmm hehehe, I watched this at night, just before I went to bed. I like the first story the best, it reminds me of a Bengali scary story I heard about when I was little. It was about a man marrying a beautiful woman he met, but I can't remember what happens lol. All I remember is that she's not human and she eats people from the neighbourhood. Dun dun dun!!! I really enjoy the scary topic you do :P.
All the stories are awesome! Funny thing is i saw all these before hearing about them. TVB use to play this TV Shows called Dark Tales where some of the episodes where based on Tales from a Chinese Studio.
Can't stop watching them time n again! u guys should definitely do more..:D totally love them,especially the way of telling story n Mike's tome.." do u think im going to give up....or AM I PRETTY.."..:D
Can you do stories that connect the history of kung fu and Shaolin. I love history and especially your videos, I've been bewitched for the past week and have even gone over my entire month's data just by watching all your videos. Shaolin history and their daily modern lifes are always a subject i bring up at school and even involve my daily life . Your videos are full of knowledge and the drawings are very creative, it would be amazing to see some Shaolin history come to life.
But the story about the Painted Skin ends with the guy getting his heart back! I know a bit different version of that - the start is the same, he gets heart ripped out and the lady/demon runs off with it. But - in the town center and on a pile of garbage and filth there was a man and people were afraid of him but also knew that when in really deep trouble he could help you if you were humble enough. So the wife of the heart ripped out man goes to the garbage-guy, kneels before him and endures the townfolks tauntings til he tells her to go home. When she gets back, she starts coughing and spits out a huge ball of goo (a booger basically :D) that turns into a living, beating heart. She quickly puts it back in his husbands torn open chest and after couple of days he is fine again.
You should check out the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" by Leslie Cheung and Joey Wang. It was made in 1987 and also loosely based on a story from the book Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. It is awesome. In my opinion the new remake of the movie cannot beat it.
I think there are quite a few stories around the world where someone is beautiful or who makes you want to approach them (e.g. are friendly, look like they need help etc) turns out to be a monster, it makes sense really because it is in their incentive to get you close as it will be easier for them to eat you or whatever it is they want to do, similar things happen in nature when predators look appealing so prey approaches and get eaten, like angler fish for example.
All these 3 stories are cliffhangers! I want to know the ending! Please do more, my chinese suck and i have difficulty reading it, even though im chinese XP
Asian Scary stories and legends are scariest honestly... xD Like DAYum, I watched this at noon and was still scared as crap, nearly peed my pants! xD, anyways great vid! Keep up the great work!
I really like your "history lessons" about Ancient China, and they're all so cool! Since you guys are on the topic of Ghost Stories, can you guys please discuss the origins of many common Chinese superstitions?
Another great video, though I have to say that these stories may be 'weird' I don't necessarily think they are spooky. Keep up the wonderful videos. :)

what a wonderful disney ending
I thought it would be like... she suddenly wakes up and realize it's just a dream.
BEAUTIFUL STORY good person

kathy valdez I'd prefer some grizzly pics. I don't find myself in this part of youtube at 3AM looking for non-fucked-up videos.
Off the Great Wall Who is the one who does the drawing for these videos? I really like the art style. :) What software do you use as well to draw it?
I just feel bad for the girl in the painting. I mean she loves him enough to hide him and he never went back to see her.
True
"mr chu yeah ah mr chu" Apink- Chu 😂😂😂😂
I started to think the same thing 😁😂😂😂😂
Jeon Jungkookie I thought of that too 😂😂😂
I was singing that song too

Damn it’s interesting
Once I think I read in a book about a Japanese horror story about this school girl's ghost haunting a school in one of the bathroom stalls. The only way to get rid of her is to show her a perfect straight a test.
Can I get a link to this story please!?
BWAHAHA
Lmfao sounds like what parents would tell their kids
what is the perfect straight test?
I mean a test with a pefect grade, nothing wrong~
ghosts in china are normally described as kind and innocent in the late dynasty. chinese ghost stories always try to tell people that the living ones who hast evil thoughts are scarier than those who are dead. and the dead became ghosts because they died of injustice. they want retribution or a new trial to bring the murderer into justice.
normally I wouldn't listen to ghost stories at all but when you guys tell it, I don't get as scared haha
zoebelle16 yea we too non intimidating looking
Me too. My feel the same way.
Can you do ghost superstitions? E.g. Today my mother told me that Chinese people don't want to live in houses where people have committed suicide because the spirit will drive someone else to commit suicide in order to replace them so they can move on.
I'm not Chinese but my parents believe that too.
Orly? What's your cultural background?
Yeah I'm my mom believe that too but I'm laos cause when my dad pass away in my old apartment we move to a new apartment

These stories are cool as heck.
