《太平广记·卷三百五十一·鬼三十》
到了早上王坤造访那小官员家，见他家门边有一堆烧纸钱的痕迹，我就立刻找他，问他为什么烧纸钱，小吏说：昨晚和朋友们会餐时，忽然有个丫环中了邪，当即请来了巫师，巫师说是鬼在作怪，于是在院中进行了祭祀，又在门边烧了纸钱。
至晓，过小吏，则有焚纸钱迹，即立召小吏，讯其事。小吏曰：某昨夕方会食，忽有婢中恶。巫云，鬼为祟。由是设祭于庭，焚纸于此。
Wang Kun paid a visit to the petty official's house in the morning and found some signs of burning paper money. He asked him about it right away, and the official said that there had been a gathering with friends the night before, when suddenly a servant girl fell ill from an evil spirit, so they had called in a sorcerer. The sorcerer said that a ghost was causing the problem, so they laid out food and worshipped it in the courtyard, and burned paper money at the door.
