Inventory: Hong Kong’s Haunted Places

Introduction: If you have never been to Hong Kong, then you must have at least seen Hong Kong ghost movies. Have you heard of the top ten "haunted places" in Hong Kong? Not only are these places often featured in Hong Kong ghost movies, but they also have supernatural stories passed down by word of mouth! Let’s take a look.

1. Bridge Street

This street is located in the middle of Sheung Wan, opposite Caine Road. It was once a Japanese military camp. When the Japanese were defeated and the imperial army surrendered unconditionally, many Japanese soldiers felt that defeat was a very humiliating thing, so they would rather die than surrender and committed collective suicide in the military camp. After this incident, many nearby residents would always hear the sound of marching, clapping, and even the conversations of Japanese soldiers late at night. Some people even saw the street in the middle of the night, full of Japanese military flags.

2. High Street

Before the war, it was a leprosy hospital. At that time, the disease was extremely contagious and the patients needed to be completely isolated. Once inside, they had to wait. Death, so there is a kind of resentment accumulated. Rumor has it that a mental patient committed suicide by banging his head in the basement, so the tragic sound of banging was often heard. Later, during World War II, the Japanese army took over Hong Kong and used this place as a execution ground, killing countless Chinese. After the restoration, it was rumored to be haunted. Many young people go to the border to explore. At that time, the attic was a place where prisoners were hanged. Although it has been dismantled, it is said that those who venture in if they are unlucky will always find this attic that does not exist in the first place, and the hanging scene will be reenacted. So High Street can be regarded as the most popular haunted place in Hong Kong.

3. Yuntoutang Village, Tai Po

During the Japanese colonial period, many innocent Chinese were sent to the execution ground to be beheaded, but because the heads were too large There are too many to store in the execution ground, so every day there are always workers transporting the heads in wooden carts to the distant wilderness for burial. Yuntoutang Village is the place that must be passed through during the transportation process. Perhaps too many Chinese people died in mysterious circumstances, and their souls had nowhere to go after death but could only follow their own heads. Over time, this road gathered many souls of the dead. Although it happened decades ago, many residents still hear the sound of wooden carts passing by at night, and some have even seen rows of headless ghosts following the wooden carts, like zombies.

4. The Golden Barracks

Now the predecessor of Pacific Place, the location of the Golden Barracks is a haunted resort. The elevator in the basement is the most haunted, and the security personnel even Japanese soldiers can be seen performing exercises in groups through closed-circuit television.

5. Cheung Chau East Embankment

This is a popular haunted spot in recent times. Rumor has it that many years ago, a woman and her daughter committed suicide in a holiday home in Tung Causeway. In the past two years, people have even come from far away to commit suicide in that vacation home. It adds countless mysterious colors to Dongdi. Funny note: On the beach opposite the East Embankment of Cheung Chau, a group of young people were playing nearby one day. They found a flower growing out of an old stone. The young people felt very strange. They worked together to remove the stone and found a flower. A female body was buried here, thus revealing a murder case. Another group of young people going on vacation met a pair of mothers and grandsons on the road from Dongdi to Dongwan Coast. They were walking down the memorial park. The mother-in-law and grandson actually fell into the sea as they moved forward, which frightened several young people and stunned them.

6. Menggui Bridge

It is also the Hung Shui Bridge. Back then, students from a school were traveling there and were swept away by flash floods. Later, some people passing by the bridge saw a group of children waving to him under the bridge, or they were pushed into the river for no apparent reason. Drivers who drive at night still often see Bai's figure moving by the bridge when passing by. The most intriguing thing happened to a female singer. When she was a child, she passed by this place with her father and saw a brother and sister on the roadside who seemed lost. The female singer's father kindly picked them up in the car and took them back to their home in the city. Since the brother and sister got along very well with the female singer, the three of them even took a photo together as a souvenir. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, when the female singer looked at that photo again, the brother and sister in the photo had grown up.
