7.61

廬江腕摐陽二縣境上有大青小青黑。居山野之中。時聞有哭聲。多者至數十人。男女大小如始喪者。隣人驚駭至彼奔赴。常不見人。然於哭地必有死喪。率聲若多則為大家。聲若小者則為小家(右二怪出搜神傳記)。

On the border between the two counties of Wan and Chongyang in Lujiang, there are [mounds named] Daqing, Xiaoqing, and Hei, situated in the midst of the mountains and wilds. From time to time, wailing voices are heard there, at most reaching several tens of people, men and women, old and young, sounding as if in recent bereavement. Neighbors, alarmed and startled, would rush there, but never saw anyone. Yet in the place where the wailing occurred, there was sure to be a death and mourning: generally, if the voices were numerous, it would be a great family; if the voices were few, it would be a small family. (The above two anomalies are from the Soushen ji.)
