A Chinese woman says she has been howling like a wolf for 26 years - but can't help it. Hong (42), of Ganzhashan Qian village, Fuzhou,u00a0said, "My howls are like sneezes or yawns, they can't be controlled.

"Sometimes I can't help howling on the streets. Passers-by jump far away staring at me, thinking I am a psycho."She says it all began when she began to suffer from back pains when she was 16: "Then I accidentally found when I howl the pain goes away."
