One night, however, there was a sudden knock at the doors of all the missing people’s homes, accompanied by their voices. But when the doors were opened, there was no human figure outside—only dismembered human hands. The voices coming from these bloody limbs were those of their loved ones, begging for food. A panic spread through the valley. Doors were slammed shut as those grotesque hands kept knocking. Every time someone opened a door to check, the hands would scuttle on their fingers, begging for food, and the door would be slammed shut again. All night long, this continued, and people remained huddled inside, terrified.
