This true incident is from a small village in Vietnam. It was a long ago when in that village people used to build houses very near to one another and a wooden fence five to six feet high was built to separate the backyards of their houses. During that time there was no refrigerator in which meat could be safely stored from spoilage, so people there used to store raw meat inside a shelf by applying salt to it. Everything was going peacefully in the village until something strange happened to a family.
A woman from a family noticed one morning that the leftover meat she had kept in the shelf at night is missing. When she asked the family members about what they did with the meat, no one exactly knew where the meat was. As a result, the woman went to the market and brought more meat. At night everyone sat together and had dinner and the woman keeps the remaining meat in a different shelf so that no one can steal it this time. But the next morning the same happened as the meat was missing again. Seeing this, now the woman tells her husband that meat is being stolen regularly from their house.
Both husband and wife decide that they will quietly wake up at night and check who is the culprit. After the children fall asleep, they turned off the lights to make sure that no one can see them from outside. The night in the village is often very dark, but it was a full moon night, with the only sounds of cricket and owls howling all around. Around 1 o'clock in the night, the couple saw a shadow of a person in the bright moonlight and shortly they guessed it was a woman. As that woman comes near the kitchen to steal the meat, the couple slowly moves towards her. The couple was stunned to see that the woman is none other than an old lady living in their neighborhood who was looking quite weird and scary as if she was possessed by a devil.
She was holding on to the meat and eating it raw. She was taking huge bites and was tearing the meat with her sharp teeth. After finishing her meal, she jumped over a six-foot fence like a strong youth and ran away. The very next morning, the couple went to their neighbor's house and revealed what had happened last night. But the neighbor didn't believe their words as he told them that it was impossible for the old lady to walk properly as she had been very ill for the past few days. The news of this incident spread rapidly in the entire area.
The next day the couple has to go out of the village for some important work, so they left their one-year-old baby at home with a babysitter. But due to some reasons, they got delayed in returning home at night. That night, there was no meat in the house, and when they returned, they first checked the kitchen and found that the old lady had not yet come to their house. But then all of a sudden they heard the agonizing cry of their one-year-old son, and as they entered the room, the same old lady was there gnawing at the baby's arm.
Seeing such a terrible scene, the baby's mother gave out a loud scream and his father rushed toward the old lady to push her away. This caused the old lady to fall off the bed and jump out through the window. Immediately the baby was taken to the doctor and the husband explained everything that happened to the baby. Now hearing this noise all the neighbors gathered there and saw that the old lady was standing on the roof of her house and laughing wickedly. It could be clearly seen that the old lady was completely in possession of a demon.
All the people present there decided that it would be okay to set this house on fire and in fact, they did the same when they found no one else in the house. The next morning they searched the burnt-down house but couldn't find any ashes. No one knows what happened to that old lady and her family whether she survived or not. But many people believed that they had left the village on the same day when that couple narrated the whole incident to them for the first time and the old lady had already died before that night.
