Ghost-Hunting Notes: A Night Visit to Suolong Ridge

Come read my latest work on a website under Yuewen!

Suo Long Ridge lies deep in the mountains of Sichuan. Just hearing the name is enough to send a chill down your spine. People say the place is haunted, and that a woman's sobs can often be heard at night. Thirty kilometers from Yunpan City, it was once an execution ground, where people were shot. Later, a funeral home was built on a clearing beside the ridge, but it was abandoned in the 1990s. They say the place is haunted, that fires break out for no reason, or that the sky suddenly darkens and torrential rain pours down despite having been clear moments before. More terrifying still, legend has it that a corpse already pushed into the cremation furnace suddenly reached out, climbed out of the furnace, and escaped. The stories are so uncanny that no one who enters Suo Long Ridge is ever seen coming back out. One after another, people vanish without a trace, leaving everyone shaken with fear. They say that in the 1960s, more than a dozen members of a provincial geological survey team disappeared there, adding yet another layer of mystery and terror to the ridge. People are afraid even to speak of it.
