Tat Tak School

        A lot of places have the reputation as "the most haunted place ever in [insert location here]." Still, it's always fun when they manage to live up to that reputation. But also, like, what exactly qualifies something as 'the most haunted?' Are there tournaments or competitions? Like, America's Got Goblins, or something?     But every so often, there's that little place that people unanimously agree is one of the most haunted. And it's not from a show, or from a Life article that never existed, or even monopolizing on creepy islands. Sometimes, it's just word of mouth.     Of course, it's up to the beholder to determine if these words are true or not.     Take the Tat Tak School, for instance. Just the name is enough to scare the pants off of anyone.     Settled in Hong Kong's New Territories' district of Yuen Long, the Tat Tak school first opened up in 1931. First, it wasn't exactly in the current location. No, that's no...

Aradale Asylum

      When you think of stereotypical haunted places, what's the first thing that comes to mind?     I'll start first (though it's not like anyone is actually co-writing this blog with me)- houses, health institutions, schools, graveyards. That kind of stuff.      I will say, though, that forests are exceptionally creepy. But that's just me.      It's always the really big and spacious places that are haunted too. Like, do ghosts need a certain minimum of square feet to spawn? Like, I'm assuming ghosts aren't like the Sims, but it's very much giving "you can't place this object because something else is in the way." Like a ghost will be like "oh darn, there's a desk in this room...Bye."     But seriously, it's always the big and inherently ominous places. And maybe that's the mass hysteria of society. It could also be, though, that the big and inherently ominous places are...well, ominous. Like, hospitals don't exa...

Haunted Forest Park Cemetery

       Arguably, cemeteries are one of the least pleasant places to be. For both parties involved.       I mean, unless you're like, one of those people that goes there just to chill, or try to commune with the dead. But we don't have time to unpack all of that.      But, you know, some cemeteries are more 'famous' than others. Whether that's good or bad is really up to the inhabitants. If you think about it, cemeteries are kind of like free retirement homes. If you're annoying enough, you're going to wake something up, and it's gonna be angry. Or confused. Or hungry. But I think that's more about zombies than ghosts (unless we're talking about hungry ghosts of folklore from literally all around the world, and I think I'd run out of time trying to unpack that).     We have a lot of unpacked suitcases.      Well, laying that to rest (laugh right now) let's dive into another famous New York hotspot for the pa...
