List of supernatural beings in Chinese folklore : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of supernatural beings in Chinese folklore The following is a list of supernatural beings in Chinese folklore and fiction originating from traditional folk culture and contemporary literature such as Pu Songling's ''Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio''. This list contains only common supernatural beings who are inherently "evil" in nature, such as ghosts and demons, and beings who are lesser than deities. There are also ghosts with other characteristics. They are classified in some Chinese Buddhist texts.〔The novel ''Zhan Gui Zhuan'' (斬鬼傳; ''Story of Slaying Demons'') by the Qing dynasty writer Liu Zhang (劉璋). See ''Zhan Gui Zhuan'' on Chinese Wikisource.〕 ==Ba jiao gui==
''Ba jiao gui'' () is a female ghost which dwells in a banana tree and appears wailing under the tree at night, sometimes carrying a baby. In some folktales from Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, greedy people ask for lottery numbers from the ghost in the hope of winning money. They tie a red string around the tree trunk, stick sharp needles into the tree, and tie the other end of the string to their beds. At night, the ghost appears and begs the person to set her free. In return, she will give him/her a set of winning numbers. If the person does not fulfil his/her promise to set the ghost free after winning, he/she will meet with a horrible death. This ghost is similar in some aspects to the Pontianak/Kuntilanak in Malay and Indonesian folklore.
