2011 Mystery Sketch Bong-Cheon-Dong Ghost
The story is based on true personal accounts.
It was probably around 11:20 at night. I was heading home after long, tiring night-study sessions. But I didn't see anybody around that day, which was weird, since the apartment complex is pretty big and I usually see a lot of people even at night.
Anyways, I was a little scared so I was just walking while looking down on the ground,
when I saw a shadow stretching towards me. Even though there had been no one around just a moment ago.
When I looked up..
I saw a woman walking in front of me. But it just didn't look right.
I could say she looked slightly indisposed.. She was limping pretty hard.
She was walking very slow, and I soon caught up with her. I was able to see her even better up close.
She was wearing dirty pink pajamas.. and it looked like every joint in her body was twisted. Her hair was a mess and sticking out in every direction.
It seemed really weird, so I stopped walking.
I felt like I shouldn't get any closer to her, and I didn't have the guts to pass by her.
[The ghost turns around.]
They say when you're really surprised, you can't even scream. I couldn't move, and just froze there.
"Where's my baby?"
Her question made my thoughts race..
I don't even know why I did it then.. And it still scares me.
I pointed as far as I could and answered.. "O, over there."
I just wanted her to get away from me.
She limped towards the direction I pointed to..
And I couldn't see her anymore.
I didn't want to risk running into her again, so I tried to turn around quickly and leave the apartment complex.
I couldn't think of anything but to get to some place where there'd be people around.
Then
"She is not there!" [The ghost runs towards you.]
I don't remember anything afterwards. I heard that my neighbor found me passed out on the ground and took me home.
In 2007, at an apartment in Boncheon-Dong, Gwna-Ak-Gu, Seoul, a 33-year-old woman jumped off the apartment and died on the spot. Jo, who was divorced due to her affair, had lost the custody of her daughter and decided to kill herself.
She was seen walking around the apartment complex many times after her suicide. She was barefoot and wore the pajamas she was wearing when she died; every join in her body was twisted, and she was an awful sight.

Mate it is a cartoon - not scary, after you see the cartoon let me know the reaction you had to it though, I felt a proper weird tingle sensation down my whole body, like from head to toe, looked it up and everyone else felt the same as me, never felt it before was weird

Fuck me. That really caught me off guard.

Redcap · « **Reply #6 on:** August 24, 2011, 11:02:55 am »

I wonder if this is actually scarier if you didn't know Korean to begin with. The pictures speak for themselves.. more or less, and the legend itself is nothing special.

That pretty good, except for the fact that the female ghost looks like a male anime character.

SMD.
I had a heart attack when I watched this. I have just got out of hospital. The doctor tells me I cannot put myself under any stress or strain, and this includes having sex and working. So my life is fucked. No earnings, no family, nothing.
I want £1,000,000 compensation by the end of the week or I'm calling a lawyer.
Thanks
