When You Think It’s a Ghost… but It’s Actually Constipation?

When You Think It’s a Ghost… but It’s Actually Constipation?

Many people ask if they’ve been followed by something dark — a ghost, a spirit, some unknown entity.

Sometimes, they’re right.

But surprisingly, at least 30% of the cases I review are purely physical — misread by the body, misunderstood by the mind.

Let me share a real story.

😨 A Haunting That Wasn’t

Last month, I received a message from a woman who believed she was being haunted.

• Constant nightmares
• Extreme fatigue
• No medical explanation

She said she felt like “something” was attached to her.

I checked her remotely — and felt nothing.
No yin interference. No spirit trail. No energetic residue.

I asked if she had visited any unusual places lately.

“No,” she replied.

So I suggested something basic:

“Take walks in the park. Get more sunlight.”

She thanked me and disappeared for a while.

📞 Then She Asked to Meet

A week later, she messaged again — this time saying she was in my city and desperate to meet.

“I’m getting married soon. But I feel like I won’t make it to the wedding. My body is breaking down.”

We met at a quiet teahouse.
She looked pale, her hands shook holding the cup.
Dark circles, yellow eyes, sunken spirit.

Still… no ghost.

I asked a strange question:

“How often do you poop?”

She froze.

“Once every 3–4 days…”

Then I asked if she had recently been suddenly frightened.

She thought, then said yes —
During a tense visit to her fiancé’s grandmother’s rural home, a large yellow dog barked at her from behind. She dropped the gift she was holding and trembled all over.

I smiled.

“Go to the pharmacy. Get a mild colon-cleansing tea.”

🧠 The Gut–Liver–Soul Connection

Here’s a Taoist anatomy tip:

There’s a narrow “shortcut” between your large intestine and your liver.
It has no valve.

When you’re constipated, the toxic gas builds up.
If you get scared during that buildup, that pressure shoots directly into the liver.

This results in:

• Yellowing of the eyes
• Brain fog and nightmares
• Disturbed sleep
• Emotional collapse

And in Taoism, the liver holds your hun (魂) — your wandering soul.
The heart holds the shen (神) — your conscious spirit.

When both are clouded, people start to think they’re seeing ghosts…
but really, they’re seeing their own confusion.

🧭 Final Thought from Wuyu

If your friend thinks they’ve been haunted,
tap their bellybutton gently.

If it pulses strangely — the cause might be internal, not spiritual.

Give them tea.
Let them rest.
Sometimes, the ghost is just in the gut.
