The world never lacks strange things and this ghost bride story below from China is one of the latest. According to reports, Kang CuiCui killed herself 12 years ago after having an argument with her husband Li Zhong. She was first buried in the Li’s family graves but then Mr. Li had moved all the graves without Kang’s to another place.

Family sold daughter's corpse to avoid her being lonely

Believing their daughter was lonely, Kang’s parents decided to dig up her tomb and sell her corpse to another family whose son was dead unmarried so that they could arrange a ghost marriage for the two deceased.

On November 14, when Mr. Li visited the tomb, he was shocked that his wife’s body and all jewelry buried with her went missing. He contacted the police who found that it’s Kang’s parents that altered the tomb.

To be specific, Kang’s body was performed a ritual as a ghost bride to a ghost groom. The man was dead in a car crash when he hadn’t got married. The two families believed by holding a marriage and burying them together, their daughter and son would become wife and husband in their after-life.

As the ritual relates to religious belief in certain areas in China, the local police refused to investigate the case further on Mr. Li’s request.

Responding to the local media, Kang’s mother felt she was angry when knowing Li had moved all his family graves but let her daughter there alone.

'You moved your family graves and left my daughter's grave there. If I can't move her grave, I have to get her out of there. I can't let her be a lonely ghost in the wild.'
