Taiwanese ghost culture is vivid enough to have its own tourist infrastructure: the abandoned UFO-house village of Sanzhi drew legend-trippers for decades before demolition, and Keelung’s Ghost Month festival is among the largest in the Chinese-speaking world. The mosien (mountain spirits) said to lure hikers off trails in Taiwan’s high country — often described as a child-like figure called the mo-sin-a — remain a live belief among trail communities. Red envelopes left on roadsides propose ghost marriages to whoever picks them up. This archive gathers Taiwanese urban legends, hauntings, and folklore: haunted tunnels and hotels, the Xindian Bitan drownings, campus ghost stories, and the traditions of the seventh lunar month.
