My Ghost Daddy

The story begins with a girl, Hsiao-Lin, who is able to see the ghost while she was born. One night, she met a strange ghost with a fishnet wrapped around his head, asking for her help to find his daughter. She thereby decided to help him out with the primal rear car (it was originally for fisherman’s usage) and the catch bucket to carry him walk through various streets, temples, and alleys across the Donggang Township, and started a journey to find his daughter.
