We sometimes come across stories involving the use of black magic - usually for love or out of jealousy, but what if it is used simply for spite? 

In the first story, a netizen shares a tale about his father, a former registration officer, who came across a strange man and a young boy at work one day. The strange man claimed that the young boy was his son, and that his registration documents had been burned in a fire. Suspicious, the netizen's father asked the strange man to swear upon the truth, but the strange man denied, and threatened the netizen's father in return. Shortly after, the netizen's father began to fall ill, and face the ramifications of the strange man's curse.

In the second story, listener W shares an odd encounter at work. While taking a smoke break with some colleagues early in the morning, the group begin to hear whispers coming from behind them. A little creeped out by the experience, they decide to quickly finish and return to work, except the whispers continued to follow them.
