One after the other, developers wanting to demolish the hospital has passed away, resulting in Tainan's old hospital being well and truly left alone today. It's no wonder then that wailing spirits have been reportedly heard inside the old hospital's walls.Īnother key factor in what makes Tainan's Xinglin Hospital so haunted is the untimely deaths that have met prospective developers. There was also a significant fire that took place during its operation, resulting in a number of deaths and casualties. This is in part related to what it is: a hospital. Whatever the reason, the building's continued abandonment has made it the most haunted building in Taiwan. Officially shut down in 1994 due to bankruptcy, several other issues like medical malpractice and falsifying of medical records ailed the failing hospital and led to its demise. Located smack bang in the center of old Tainan, the ancient capital of Taiwan, is the giant abandoned Xinglin hospital. Explorers should be careful of what follows them home. The film focuses on the Taiwanese folklore of The Little Girl in the Red Dress, an evil spirit that follows people (or 'tags along'), and it can get up to some pretty spooky stuff. However, whether the haunted amusement park's origins are legitimate or not, with this abandoned amusement park playing a significant role in the Taiwanese horror film 'Tag Along 2', Katoris World Amusement Park is certified spooky now. No one can really say since the company in charge of the Katoris World Amusement Park has failed to comment on any events in the past. Did 60 people really perish on one of the rides or is this a baseless rumor? In other words, was the closure linked to more than just bankruptcy? Due to its quick abandonment and association with rollercoaster deaths, much speculation has arisen over the years as to the actual cause of the park's closure. Opened in 1983 to much fanfare, Katoris World Amusement Park was one of Taiwan's most famous amusement parks until its abrupt closure in 1994. Visitors to Minxiong Haunted House have reported hearing wailing coming from inside the well and seeing a lady in a white dress crossing the grounds. Even putting rumors aside, it's easy to see why the soldiers of the past were uncomfortable staying the night near the house with the current state of Minxiong Haunted House being in ruins compared to its once stately appearance, it's clearly a very spooky place.įrom vines intertwining with the outer facade and the entire inside gutted out, there may not be much left of the house, but it still makes itself known. Other rumors attribute the murders and suicides of Japanese and KMT soldiers, respectively to the vengeful spirit lurking in the well. That's not the only story attached to the house, either. Whatever the reason, the Liu family vacated the house after a short time residing there, leading some to cite the dead servant's haunting spirit as the cause. Liu had fallen in love with her (the servant). Rumor has it that the haunting began after a servant girl committed suicide in the family well, a result caused by repeated abuse from Mrs. Originally constructed for the wealthy Liu family in Chiayi County in 1929, Minxiong Haunted House hasn't always been haunted. When a friend (not inside the bunker) yelled at the other not to go down, the voice giggled and said, "Too late!" At another point, the same voice asked the group of friends what their names were.Īs much as it could have been the dark playing tricks or, indeed, a made-up story, a big dark bunker has the perfect recipe for a haunted house/construction. A story that exploded on Taiwanese social media recounts how when a group of friends decided to enter the bunker, they heard a voice asking them to come to play with her. This is in part due to the depth and complexity of the tunnels, leading to rumors about who or what lives down in its depths. The No.13 bunker was built in 1945 and is considered one of the most forbidden places in Taichung. Nowadays, the area is a popular nighttime viewing spot, however it is still home to its fair share of ghost stories. In the case of Donghai Sea Castle, it also led to the construction of myriads of underground tunnels and bunkers along the coast of Taichung to act as a defense against potential Allied invaders. The Japanese occupation of Taiwan didn't just mean the conversion of buildings into prisons or military barracks.
