宅妖
長山李公，大司寇之侄也。宅多妖異。嚐見廈有春凳，肉紅色，甚修潤。李以故無此物，近撫按之，隨手而曲，殆如肉軟，駭而卻走。鏇回視則四足移動，漸入壁中。又見壁間倚白梃，潔澤修長。近扶之，膩然而倒，委蛇入壁，移時始沒。
康熙十七年，王生浚升設帳其家。日暮燈火初張，生着履臥榻上。忽見小人長三寸許，自外入。略一盤鏇，即複去。少頃，荷二小凳來，設堂中，宛如小兒輩用梁黠心所制者。又頃之，二小人舁一棺入，長四寸許，停置凳上。安厝未已，一女子率廝婢數人來，率細小如前狀。女子衰衣，麻練束腰際，布裹首。以袖掩口，嚶嚶而哭，聲類巨蠅。生睥睨良久，毛發森立，如箱被於體。因大呼，遽走，顛床下，搖戰莫能起。館中人聞聲異，集堂中，人物杳然矣。

Topics
In a corpus of ca. 3100 stories from the strange tales collections Zibuyu, Xu Zibuyu, Yuewei caotangbiji, Liaozhai zhiyi, Yetan suilu, Ershilu and Xieduo an LDA-based topic modeling algorithm was asked to identify exactly 50 topics.
