Mystery of ghosts in palaces and palaces in Beijing

The palaces of kings and mandarins in Beijing contain many mysterious and ghostly stories that make many tourists tremble with fear.

Beijing was the capital of many Chinese emperors. This city is full of historical relics that were once the forbidden palaces of emperors, the residences and palaces of high-ranking officials. Besides attracting a huge number of tourists every year, these culturally rich structures also contain many unsolved ghostly mysteries. Although all of these are just speculations and have not been scientifically proven, they still make many tourists curious.

Forbidden City - Rumors of the Absent Palace Maid

Located in the heart of Beijing, the Forbidden City was the imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty for 600 years. In addition to the royal family, it was also home to tens of thousands of concubines and servants from the emperors. Due to conflicts and power struggles, many bloody murders occurred inside the Forbidden City, which has been the subject of many familiar films. Therefore, this mysterious city inevitably has rumors of being "haunted".

The Forbidden City is also known as the Imperial Palace.

A soldier working in the citadel recounted that on an October afternoon in 1995, his patrol encountered a long-haired woman wearing a black robe in the palace. Thinking she was a thief, the group chased her and cornered her in a locked room. When they asked her to turn around, they were so shocked that they dropped their flashlights when the person who appeared before them had no face but was covered in black hair.

In 1992, after a thunderclap in the rain, the red wall of the Forbidden City suddenly revealed the image of a palace maid passing by. Many tourists quickly took pictures of this image, further reinforcing the ghostly rumor.

The rumors of ghosts continued. They mainly happened to the gatekeepers. At night, while on duty, they would hear music coming from somewhere around the palace and then groups of maids and eunuchs would appear and pass by.

Ho Than's Palace - the white-robed ghost of his prematurely dead wife

In addition to the Forbidden City, the Heshen Palace is very majestic and grand. It is also one of the famous haunted tourist attractions in Beijing. The relic site is located on Liuyin Street, Xicheng District.

Ho Than was once the favorite of Emperor Qianlong.

Ho Than also had a large harem with more than 80 concubines. In the palace, there was an elaborately built place that Ho Than reserved for a concubine, named Phung Thi, whom he loved very much. After Phung Thi's son died at a young age, she was saddened, fell ill, and soon passed away.

From then on, people began to rumor that the Palace of the Prince was also haunted by the "ghost" of Phung Thi. At night, people in the palace often heard women crying, and some even claimed that they had seen the shadow of a woman in white walking in the garden.

The Library of Wu Sangui - Soul of a Disgraced Concubine

The story of this general was also made into a movie.

Tung Pha Do Library, located at 7 Thach Ho Alley, Tay Thanh District. This place was once left by General Ngo Tam Que. He was a military officer under the Ming Dynasty, then followed the Qing army and established a new dynasty.

Wu Sangui had a concubine named Chen Yuanyuan. After he achieved a high position in the Qing Dynasty, he gradually forgot about her, causing Chen Yuanyuan to hang herself in frustration. Since then, it has been rumored that the young girl's spirit has haunted the small alley of Shihu and the Songpo residence, scaring both locals and tourists.

Ho Quang Assembly Hall - throw stones into the garden and you will hear curses

Many of the stories rumored around the guild hall also involve a steward here.

The Ho Quang Assembly Hall is rumored to be haunted because it was built on land that was once a cemetery. The assembly hall was built to house homeless people, but today it has become a popular destination for those who love Peking Opera.

The project is located next to Ho Phuong bridge, Tuyen Vu district. It is rumored that when passing by here, if you try to throw a stone into the garden, there will definitely be a loud curse even if there is no one inside.

Beijing residents also pass on other creepy spots such as the Chao Noi Church - where screams are often heard echoing down the hallway at night, after the wife of an official who used to live here lost her mind and committed suicide.

Or the tomb of Yuan Chonghuan, a talented and loyal general of the Ming Dynasty who was framed and sentenced to death by slow slicing. After his unjust death, it is believed that the owner's soul always lingers around the tomb at 52 Huashi Street, Chongwenmen, Dongcheng District.
