Abandoned old houses always have endless stories to tell. When the past prosperity has gone through the wind and frost, it is mottled and withered, and various supernatural legends have spread like wildfire. It's so dark and the night is so quiet. Lying in bed alone on a hot summer day, let's cool down by reading the legends of these eight ruins in Taipei.
Abandoned clinic on Youya Road, Beitou
In the early days, Beitou was a prosperous town. As it declined over the years, there were more than a dozen ruins in the small Beitou that people could venture into. The most famous of them was the nameless abandoned clinic on Youya Road. Because it had been abandoned for a long time, its appearance had long been ruined. Covered by grass and trees, only the peeling red cross paint on the exterior wall of the second floor is particularly obvious.
Netizens shared that there is a ghost in my bed . Electronic products always malfunction inexplicably here, and it is difficult to focus when taking photos. When you enter the registration counter on the first floor, you will feel a strong chill, as if the air conditioner is on. The stairs to the second floor are very narrow. People can only go up one by one, and finally they will find a ward full of medicine jars, and there are leather shoes left next to the hospital bed.
There was once a supernatural program recorded here, where they were challenged to light candles and look in the mirror to peel an apple. When they came to their senses, they discovered that the mirror had a pair of yellow eyes, leaning back and staring at the host. When the host returned home, he discovered that his back felt like burns. Peeling…
Zheng Chenggong Temple, Jiannan Road
The Zheng Chenggong Temple on Jiannan Road is on the mountain behind Soochow University. It looks like a smaller version of the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. It was designed by architect Zhu Zuming. Due to unknown reasons, it was stopped several times and abandoned for many years. According to legend, Zheng Chenggong’s spirit never entered the statue and was buried by a man. A "pig spirit" took it away, and unidentified corpses were discovered during the years when work was suspended, so some people were possessed by ghosts while worshiping.
Netizens once said that when passing by the temple gate, the expression of the stone lion at the gate will become ferocious and ferocious. Riding a bicycle there at night on a hot summer day will feel very cool, and you will also hear the sound of "blowing dog snails" nearby… However, after all, in this city It’s reasonable to feel cool on the mountain, right?
Nantianmu Forest Amusement Park
The Nantianmu Forest Amusement Park next to Chengtian Temple in Tucheng was once very popular and was a childhood memory for many people. However, due to an unknown fire that burned down the entire park, the once happy paradise became a forbidden place for ghosts.
It is said that a child had an accident while riding a roller coaster. After being abandoned for many years, it was reported that a staff member was dismembered in the toilet. For fear of the ghosts, the place where the crime occurred was locked, but it was still clearly visible through the cracks in the toilet. The floor was a dark red blood stain. The Zongzong tragedy caused people passing by at night to encounter incredible phenomena, such as encountering ghosts punching walls, or hearing the sound of children playing in a quiet amusement park…
Tucheng Haishan Mine
In 1973, a big explosion occurred in the Haishan coal mine. Nearly a hundred miners died almost instantly. Only an old man who survived by eating the corpses of his companions survived. In the past, the surrounding residents would regularly comfort the spirits of the dead, but the tragedy was gradually forgotten over time. In addition, with the popularity of ruin exploration in recent years, noisy tourists "awakened" the spirits of the dead, and some rumors began to appear here.
It is said that every evening, workers would gather under the banyan trees in the mining area to enjoy the cool air and make tea. This routine was the same as before they were alive, because the workers died instantly after inhaling carbon monoxide. They did not know that they were dead and were still waiting under the trees for work to start…
Ruifang Yin Yang Haitai Golden Theater
The small town of Ruifang once prospered due to mining, but as the mining area ceased production, the once prosperous cinema attached to Taijin Mining has been abandoned for many years. Local people say that the movie theater was set up to give back to the local people. However, a major work safety accident occurred during the construction. A worker accidentally slipped and fell downstairs . There was a ghost in my bed and died on the spot in the movie theater. At that time, for In a hurry, they hurriedly placed the body behind the curtain. It took a long time before someone was asked to deal with the aftermath.
Perhaps because of disrespect for the deceased, it is said that whenever a movie is shown in the theater, a person without a lower body will appear and wander backstage with the white curtain shimmering.
With the changes of the times, the theater was abandoned and turned into ruins. When you walk into the theater from the entrance, you can find thousands of wooden chairs neatly arranged facing the stage, as well as holes in the ceiling, damp and decaying wooden walls, and many mottled portraits of human heads. The most frightening thing is that the escape door slogan of that era is still preserved at the exit, which reads "Taiping Gate"…
Keelung Linkaiqun Western-style Building
In the busy area next to Keelung Railway Station, there is an unexpected ancient Western-style building near the intersection. Although this 80-year-old European-style building is dilapidated, its past elegance can still be seen.
It is said that a "Maiki Bar" opened here before. At that time, many American troops stationed in Taiwan came here to drink and have fun. One of the dancers, "Nana", was dumped by the American soldiers. In order to retaliate against the betrayal, she set fire to death, along with other dancers. , dozens of drunkards were buried in the fire cave. Since then, some people have seen Nana waving at the window with half of her burnt face, and some people passing by heard dance hall music coming from inside…
However, according to locals who have lived nearby since childhood, there were fires in Lin Kaiqun's foreign-style building before, and they often heard many strange stories when they were young. However, in fact, the foreign-style building has not been renovated mainly because of property rights disputes. It's as scary as the rumors outside.
Xindian Happy Paradise
Xindian Xingfu Paradise, which was once a hit in the 1970s, closed down and fell into disrepair due to poor management. It has become a favorite place for young people to go out and have adventures at night.
The Skyride and Ferris Wheel, which were popular all over Taiwan at that time, were reportedly killed in an accident during the construction process. A series of accidents and supernatural legends also continued to spread. For example, a peeing boy smiles at you on an abandoned pool, but his eyes are gouged out; when crossing a culvert, he waves to you with a hammer and calls your name, but his figure is translucent; he wants to treat abandoned objects When taking pictures, the afterimage of the old lady pops up and stares at you…
