On the 14th day of the seventh month, the Yulan Festival, commonly known as the Ghost Festival, means that the gates of the ghosts are closed, and the souls without masters come to the world to accept donations from the world. Although it is said that “people don’t commit ghosts, ghosts don’t commit people”, but traditional taboos still need to be observed, and some forbidden places should always be avoided. In particular, I consciously overcame the decline of people in the neighborhood, and I don’t want to meet “friends” in the seventh month of the lunar calendar. Listen to Little Red Riding Hood, who has many years of experience in contact with spirits, and count 10 urban ghost legends and 10 Yu Lan festivals in the 19 local areas. Taboo.

From time to time, Little Red Riding Hood tells regarding the famous places in Hong Kong with many “friends” in the column “Fate Together”. She did not forget to remind her that it is better to go less this month.

Founded in 1931, Yuen Long Ping Shan Dade Primary School has been abandoned since 1988. There have been many haunted incidents, and it is also the location of many Hong Kong-made ghost films. It is said that many villagers in Yuen Long were killed when they resisted the Japanese army, and it was a mass burial mound, and the most terrifying school was surrounded by graves.
It was in 2011 that 12 men and women came to explore the ghosts of Dade Primary School, causing a woman to go mad, and many people saw a red-clothed long-haired girl “friend”.
②Pacific Place Day Regiment March
The Pacific Place in Admiralty was formerly called the Victoria Barracks, and it is said that the Japanese army once interrogated war criminals here. It was also reported that following the mall was closed, security guards had seen groups of Japanese soldiers marching and patrolling around on CCTV. When going to the toilet, the security guards encountered a water hose opening and closing for no reason, and a gray silhouette of a human head appeared in the mirror.
③Tai Po Pine Garden Ghost Bridge
It is rumored that in the 1940s, there were a lot of traffic accidents at the “Monster Bridge”. On the eve of the Ghost Festival on August 8, 1955, a group of primary school teachers and students and relatives of employees of the Kowloon-Canton Railway went to the bottom of the bridge to take shelter from the rain and were washed away by the flood. Afterwards, rescuers found 28 bodies at the bottom of the bridge. There were rumors of ghosts from time to time, and many people who drove by said that they encountered the spirits of a group of students, and the name “Ghost Bridge” spread. It is recommended to avoid crossing the bridge if it is not necessary this month.
④Moxingling big-headed monster
Mount Davis Fortress was built in 1906. It was the headquarters of the British defense on the west side of Hong Kong Island and an important stronghold in the defense of Hong Kong during the war. After the fall of World War II, it was occupied by the Japanese army. Due to the bunker complex, many war game fans love to fight here, but it is reported that they often encounter “friends” dressed up by the Japanese and British troops, and that there are monsters with big heads in the barracks. 3 times that of a normal person, the sound is like a pig but not a human, which is very scary.
⑤ Saigon Barrier Devil Triangle
The Saigon Barrier story began in 2005. Ding Lihua, an off-duty anti-gang agent, once visited the so-called Devil’s Triangle when he was hiking alone. The result was unknown. The police and the public mobilized more than 2,000 people to search, but so far they have not been able to find the agent. In October of the same year, Yuan Zhiyong, a civil servant, and three girl scouts set off from Changshan Mountain in Saigon. They lost contact on the way up the mountain. Two days later, their bodies were found in a dense forest at Tiger Riding Rock. In 2016, the mountain friend Zhang Shanpeng also disappeared in Saigon Barrier for 4 days, and finally met the police on the beach and was recovered. It has been pointed out that this area used to be a volcano and contained huge magnetite, and the released energy might easily affect the connection between the hikers and the “friends” channel, so it is better to come here less in July.
⑥ Stanley Murray House’s grudge “friend”
Murray House in Stanley, with a history of more than 170 years, was used as the headquarters of the military police when the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong. It is rumored that more than 4,000 Hong Kongers were tortured and executed here, causing the accumulation of grievances here. After the end of World War II, in the 1960s and 1970s, the British Hong Kong government used Murray House as the headquarters of the Rating and Valuation Department. Although the Murray Building is a hot spot for check-in, the lunar calendar is heavy in July, so it is better to visit following the fall!
⑦Polytechnic University Crawling Kids
The location of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University was once a mass grave during the Japanese occupation. It has been pointed out that the tennis courts and swimming pools in the school were once used as public mortuaries, as well as the funeral pavilion for funerals. Therefore, there have been frequent reports of ghosts here for many years. One of the most famous is the school professor’s young child who drowned in the swimming pool. After that, many students said that they would see a child crawling when they looked out of the swimming pool in the dining hall, and then disappeared suddenly, so that PolyU had to put frosting on the glass of the dining hall. Adhesive tape to avoid scaring students.
It is said that a worker was buried alive by concrete when the PolyU campus was established. Afterwards, students were on the grass where the incident happened, and they often saw a “friend” covered in concrete wandering on the grass.
⑧ Supernatural events at MTR Choi Hung Station
Regarding the supernatural incidents of the MTR, the most widely circulated is the Rainbow Station with three rails on the platform. It is rumored that one rail in the middle can lead to the gate of hell.
It is said that the ghost gate was opened during the construction of Rainbow Station, which caused frequent breakdowns of trains passing through it, and there were even stories regarding the identity of the staff. There are also rumors that there are long-haired women and elders walking into the tunnel on the rails. Among the residents of Caihong Village and Pingshi Village, there are also all kinds of supernatural stories regarding the occurrence of Caihong Station.
⑨Lei Shengchun headless child
Lui Seng Chun in Mong Kok is the most famous haunted building in the city. The three-storey Lei Shengchun was built in 1931. It is the mansion of KMB founder Lei Liang. It has a history of more than 90 years. It is said that family regulations prohibit sale or demolition. In the 1980s, following the descendants of the family moved out, people saw the upper floors of the mansion brightly lit in the middle of the night.
⑩ Oil Street Art Center
Oil Street Arts Centre in North Point, the original site was the warehouse of the Hong Kong Government Supplies Department. It has been vacant since 1998. Due to its proximity to the Hong Kong Funeral Home, it is rumored that it was used to temporarily store the remains. Nearby residents have seen ghost fires wafting from the windows of the building, and the residents of the opposite building looked at the open space following dark. They often saw a large group of people gathered, making strange noises intermittently, and then suddenly disappearing. Therefore, the neighbors sealed it as a haunted house on Oil Street.
