Voices of the Dead...

You hear and read about people and their stories, and then, well, everything you think you know sort of melts into the ether...

Phan Thi Bich Hang is the "official psychic" of Vietnam.  When she was 5 years old she was bitten by a rabid dog, and when she came out of her coma, she could hear the voices of the dead. The government uses her to locate the bodies of those who went missing during the Vietnam war.

Sounds like fiction. But isn't. It was the inspiration for a novel by a poet named Quan Barry. What can you say...?
