Tell me some Khmer Rouge horror stories.

The mass executions in the 'killing fields' are very well - known. Tens of thousands of people were brutally murdered there. The Khmer Rouge would take people to these fields, often blindfolded, and kill them with crude weapons like axes and clubs.

Some stories in Khmer Rouge books that are significant might revolve around the cultural destruction that took place. For instance, the educated were targeted, and this led to the loss of a lot of the country's intellectual and cultural heritage. The stories of those who tried to secretly preserve some aspects of the culture are both sad and inspiring.

There was a Khmer princess. She was very beautiful but also very proud. One day, a mysterious old woman gave her a beautiful but cursed necklace.

She was left alone in the room with the terrifying spirit getting nearer.

There is a story of a Khmer farmer who was very forgetful. One day, he went to the market to sell his chickens. But he left the chickens at home!

One famous Khmer ghost story is about the Arak. It is said to be a female spirit. Legend has it that she often haunts lonely places, especially near old temples or in the forest at night.
