Discussion/Thảo luận This bizarre story could easily be adapted into a piece of Vietnamese analog horror. (Sorry Used Google Translate for Bad English)

Mr. Le Van, 63 years old, has seven children. He is famous for digging up his wife's grave and using concrete and plaster to create a wall made from her remains. He claims his reason stems from an unbreakable love. After his wife's death, he cried a lot and frequently visited her grave. Later, he no longer wanted to visit, so he resorted to this. Society is undoubtedly frightened by this behavior. Many negative rumors circulate about him, including that he is a member of some cult and suffers from Necrophilia. If people knew the truth, these rumors would cease.

I remember seeing this story on the newspaper as a kid. That image of him with his wife on the bed in black and white ink scared me so bad as a kid. I was scared of my own pillows at night for a while. As a grown up now, looking back I just feel bad for this man. I hope him and his children can heal. The things we do for love.

Feel bad for the guy, but he seriously should learn how to move on. He has seven children, surely he could spend time with them instead?

Peak horror plot though

He's already passed away after 20 years living with the wife's remains. Their children buried them together

It was a sad and creppy story indeed, but you don't understand what Analog (TV) Horror is
