It was frustrating to witness. My parents were willing to believe that my sister was possessed by a ghost rather than accept that her paralysis was fake. They refused to accept what they saw with their own eyes and preferred to cling to their preconceived notions.
My parents, deeply worried about their youngest daughter, spent a considerable sum to hire the most renowned spirit medium in the village. The medium, with her sharp intuition, immediately identified a "healthy ghost" that could walk as being attached to my sister.
She claimed that removing this ghost would be challenging and would require a larger altar and even more money. My father, already terrified by seeing my sister suddenly stand up, dared not protest and agreed without hesitation.
The medium conducted an elaborate ritual. After it was over, my sister quickly claimed that she felt much lighter, as if something had crawled off her body. Watching her performance, I couldn't help but feel a cold sneer inside.
She revealed her first hint of deceit and there would likely be more to come. Just wait and see.
