I haven't think of a name yet so here goes...

Xing's girlfriend just committed suicide hours ago because he cheated and he have the reason to be afraid, partly due to his mother used to tell him a lot of ghost story of Asian origin. One such notable story was the dead would come back to life searching for the person who responsible in his/her death but due to the stiffness of the corpse, a vengeful spirit can only hope to move by hopping his/her entire body.

Xing was told by a Taoist priest whom he visited at the temple that his girlfriend would come back as a vengeful spirit and search for him.

He was given a talisman to hide his presence from the spirit and was told to hide under his bed.

That very midnight, Xing heard stomping around the house and he quickly hide under the bed, talisman on hand. The stomping sounds more like someone has picked up a stone and drop it repeatedly and Xing can only wait till the sun rise.

He was found dead under his bed 3 days later when his mother visited him.

The priest couldn't understand the nature of his death as the spirit are unable to bend down to find him and decided to tell Xing's mother of what happen to her son in order to uncover the truth.

He was shocked to find that Xing's girlfriend committed suicide by jumping off a building as the person who commit suicide in such fashion are doomed to move or rather hop upside down in the afterlife.
