Note: This is tale #8 in Pu Songling's collection of Strange Tales from a Chatterbox's Studio (聊齋誌異, Liáozhāi zhìyì), usually known as Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio or Strange Tales from Liaozhai.
The original Chinese title of this story, 咬鬼, is transcribed as Yǎo guǐ in the pinyin notation, and means literally "biting a ghost"; it also appears as 咬鬼 in simplified Chinese characters. It is composed of 咬, yǎo, "to bite" and 鬼 guǐ, "ghost, spirit, apparition" (among other meanings).
Synopsis: The story tells of an elderly man who, while napping, thought he saw a strange woman come into his room. After walking about, she climbed into bed and starting sniffing at him and rubbing herself against him. Scared by her great strength and hard body, he bit her to the blood, then opend his jaws to call his wife, allowing the ghost to escape. The wife put all this down to a nightmare, but on the bed was now a wet stinking puddle of liquid that made him vomit, and the foul taste of the ghost's blood stayed in his mouth for days.
