Thai Woman's Invisible Attack Story Highlights Mental Health Needs

In Bangkok's Bueng Kum District, police are grappling with an unusual case involving a 52-year-old Thai woman named Ning. She claims to have endured sexual assaults from a gang of "invisible" men over the past two years. This perplexing tale, blending the supernatural and reality, has drawn attention from both authorities and mental health advocates.

 

Ning asserts that these phantom attackers possess mystical powers, making her life a continuous nightmare. Despite numerous visits to the police and over ten complaints, no physical evidence has been found to support her story. The Police General Hospital's examinations yielded no biological proof of assault, leaving a gap between Ning’s claims and tangible findings.

 

Her vivid narrative describes her attackers as co-workers using their otherworldly abilities to torment her. Ning maintains that only Kan Jom Phalang, an investigator, can perceive the mysterious offenders. Within her home, strange happenings—such as eerie noises and moving objects—stand as her evidence of their presence.

 

 

Investigators, however, suspect a deeper issue. A psychological evaluation in October 2023 diagnosed Ning with schizophrenia, highlighting her need for critical care. Authorities, including Thanakrit Jitareerat, advisor to the Minister of Public Health, and Doctor Pla urge urgent mental health intervention to prevent potential incidents.

 

The woman’s home, filled with sacred objects and burning candles forms a dangerous fire risk, adding urgency to the situation. Yet Ning’s normal demeanor at times complicates the decision to take action without her consent.

 

This unusual case underscores the challenges faced by law enforcement and health professionals. It’s a call to address mental health issues and encourage open conversations about psychiatric care. While Ning's story may seem extraordinary, it highlights the urgent need for empathy and support for those in mental distress, urging society to replace stigma with compassion, reported The Thaiger.

what if it's both though?

 

what if she is schizophrenic, but what if schizophrenics can also see/feel/hear spirits from the otherwordly realm? 

 

 

Invisible men wouldn't leave any physical evidence so maybe her story is true. I've seen and heard noises and moving objects before so the ghost story has possibilities.

Sad but true. Ning is only one of millions of thais needing psychiatric care but the Thai Government does not provide enough.
