Tomorrow is Halloween, the day when spirits of the dead are said to walk the earth. If you get easily spooked, don't read any further!
Lai Chi Chong
This popular hiking and camping site in Sai Kung is widely known to be haunted. The location's name reveals its tragic past. During the second world war, inhabitants of the village were killed by Japanese soldiers who impaled their heads on trees. When fishermen passed the coastal town, they looked up at the trees and thought they saw red lychee fruit on the branches - in fact they were looking at bloodied heads. Be careful not to get lost in this area. A number of hikers have been unable to get a compass reading because the needle spins out of control. Others have reported seeing a wizened old woman chasing away spirits with a red rope.
East Town Building
This building on Lockhart Road was originally used as a funeral parlour. Then, in the early 1950s, it housed a popular theatre - it was popular with everyone, including some pretty scary ghosts! Theatre staff once reported seeing a packed house in the cinema. Nothing unusual about that, except that only a few tickets had been sold for the show. And another staff member saw a woman's head rolling on the floor of the toilets. It's no surprise that the building was torn down in the late 1960s. Today's East Town Building takes the theatre's old name - and hopefully nothing more.
