For example, popular legend has it that the wood in coffin shops emits sounds, which are the souls of the deceased coming to choose their own coffins. Lin explains, with scientific basis, that the sound comes from the wood drying and splitting under the northeast seasonal winds, and is completely unrelated to spirits.
譬如台灣民間傳說，棺木店的棺材會發出聲音，是亡者靈魂自己來挑選棺木，李榮霖的解釋相當有科學根據，他認為這個現象是因為東北季風吹起，棺木乾燥裂開發出的聲音，與鬼神完全無關。
