Taiwan wife gets protection order over bedtime stories

A domestic dispute in Taiwan has taken a spooky twist that seems more bizarre than true.

According to Apple Daily Taiwan, a Taiwanese woman has just taken a personal protection order (PPO) against her husband for telling her ghost stories.

The paper reported that the distressed woman, identified only as Mrs Chen, filed a complaint with the Taichung police, claiming that her husband was giving her constant nightmares with his insistence on telling her ghost stories at bedtime.

In her complaint, Mrs Chen claimed that her husband often returned home in the dead of the night in a drunken stupor, and would start yelling for no reason.

He would then go on to tell her ghost stories for at least an hour. Her repeated pleas for him to stop fell on deaf ears.

In his defence, Mr Chen claimed that he was only sharing work stories with his wife.
