長山李公，大司寇之侄也。宅多妖異。嘗見廈有春凳，肉紅色，甚修潤。李以故無此物，近撫按之，隨手而曲，殆如肉耎。駭而卻走。旋回視，則四足移動，漸入壁中。又見壁間倚白梃，潔澤修長。近扶之，膩然而倒，委蛇入壁，移時始沒。

Mr. Li of Changshan was the nephew of a Minister of Justice. His house was full of uncanny things. Once he saw a long bench in the hall, flesh-pink in colour, very long and smooth. Li knew there had never been any such thing in the house. He went up and pressed it with his hand. It bent under his touch, soft as flesh. He drew back and fled in fright. When he turned to look, its four legs were moving, and little by little it went into the wall. Another time he saw a white staff leaning against the wall, clean, glossy and long. He went up to steady it. It slid over, slick to the touch, and wriggled like a snake into the wall. Only after a while was it gone.
康熙十七年，王生浚升設帳其家。日暮，燈火初張，生著履臥榻上。忽見小人，長三寸許，自外入，略一盤旋，即復去。少頃，二小人舁一棺入，長四寸許，停置凳上。安厝未已，一女子率厮婢數人來，率細小如前狀。女子衰衣，麻綆束腰際，布裹首；以袖掩口，嚶嚶而哭，聲類巨蠅。生睥睨良久，毛髮森立，如霜被于體。因大呼，遽走，顛床下，搖戰莫能起。館中人聞聲畢集，堂中人物杳然矣。

In the seventeenth year of the Kangxi reign, a scholar named Wang Junsheng was teaching school in Li's house. One evening, when the lamps had just been lit, Wang was lying on his couch with his shoes on. Suddenly he saw a tiny man, about three inches tall, come in from outside. It circled once and went straight out again. A moment later two tiny men carried in a coffin about four inches long and set it down on a bench. Before they had finished laying it in place, a woman came in with several menservants and maids, all as small as the others. The woman wore mourning dress, with a hemp cord tied round her waist and a cloth wrapped about her head. She hid her mouth behind her sleeve and wept in a thin whine, like the buzzing of a big fly. Wang watched from the corner of his eye for a long time. His hair stood on end, as if his whole body were covered in frost. Then he gave a great shout and ran, tumbled down under the bed, and lay there shaking, unable to get up. Everyone in the school heard him and came running. The figures in the hall had vanished.
