Whether or not you believe in traditional deities<\/a> and Chinese superstitions<\/a>, we think it\u2019s better to beware when you\u2019re wandering around the university campuses in the 852. Because with all these urban legends<\/a> in Hong Kong, you should probably watch your back! We know that all the Hong Kong university graduates will be checking our list to see if their uni ghost stories made the cut \u2013 although it may be better that they haven\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The most infamous urban legends and ghost stories from Hong Kong universities<\/h2>\n

1. The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK): The Tale of the Oxtail Soup<\/h3>\n

Traditional Cantonese soups<\/a> are hearty, delicious, and a great remedy for late nights. But the infamous ghost story about a certain oxtail soup at the Chinese University may make you take a good look at your bowl of soup next time you have one\u2026<\/p>\n

The creepy tale of the oxtail soup goes a little something like this: Once upon a time, there was a male student who lived on the first floor of a certain dormitory building at CUHK\u2019s New Asia College, while his girlfriend lived on the floor above. To express her care for her boyfriend who was studying hard everyday, the girl would hang a bowl of oxtail soup down from her window to her boyfriend. However, the two had an argument and since then, the boy rejected the soup. Feeling distraught, the girl eventually stopped sending soup to her lover. Yet one evening, the boy saw the familiar bowl of oxtail soup again, dangling outside his window. Curious, the boy reached out to receive it. Alas, when he looked into the bowl, there was no soup \u2013 instead, it held the head of his now ex-lover. Apparently, the heartbroken girl committed suicide in her dorm room when her boyfriend refused her. Would you dare to spend a night in either of these rooms? We certainly wouldn\u2019t!<\/p>\n

2. City University of Hong Kong (CityU): Myth of the 3M Toilets<\/h3>\n

Did you think the city centre would be less creepy than the countryside of CUHK? Think again. This ghost story is set in CityU\u2019s 3M toilets in the Yellow Zone. There are several versions of the myth, but they revolve around the theme that some kind of ghostly entity used to haunt the ladies\u2019 bathroom. One version claims that the ghost is that of a female student who committed suicide in the bathroom; another alleges that the spirit is that of a male worker who tragically passed away in an accident during the building\u2019s construction. The latter could be seen laying bricks using his bloody hands. It is said that this ladies\u2019 bathroom was therefore transformed into a men\u2019s bathroom to increase the yang qi<\/em> (a spiritual force in traditional Chinese beliefs) of the site and deter malevolent entities. Is this a creative way to explain the fact that there are no bidets in CityU\u2019s 3M male toilets? Perhaps.<\/p>\n

3. The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST): Red Eyes<\/h3>\n

Moral of the story: don\u2019t be a peeping Tom\u2026 (Photography: Lolostock)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Also known as the story of Red Black Red in HKU, this HKUST ghost story is about a peephole that was wrongly installed on the door of a certain dormitory. Nobody realised this door viewer worked the other way around (i.e. someone could peek into the room from outside and not from the inside), apart from a guy who used it to his advantage. He would spy on his crush who resided in this dorm room, until one day, all he could see through the peephole was\u2026 Red. But red what? He thought the girl simply hung a piece of red cloth over the peephole. Yet when he finally opened the door, he realised those were the red, bloodshot eyes of the girl who hung herself to death in the room, all the while staring straight at the peephole. Eek!<\/p>\n

4. The University of Hong Kong (HKU): Don\u2019t Stay in the Morgue<\/h3>\n
\"ghost
Fact or fiction, this is one of the most spine-chilling ghost stories in Hong Kong we\u2019ve heard in a while (Photography: hleib via Getty Images Pro)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some online sources claim this ghost story to be based on a real incident in the news, but we haven\u2019t been able to find related archives, so it\u2019s up to you to believe it (or not). Back in the 80s, some seniors locked a freshman into the morgue of the Faculty of Medicine at HKU overnight as a prank. While nobody knew what exactly happened to the poor freshman while he was in the morgue, the seniors were horrified when they unlocked the morgue the next day. They saw the freshman covered with wounds and bite marks; more terrifyingly, he was eating the corpses! As a result, an account detailing the incident was released in the school magazine the following year. Allegedly, there was even a new rule in the students\u2019 handbook prohibiting pupils from locking other people up in the morgue.<\/p>\n

As one of the oldest universities in Hong Kong, HKU has plenty of other urban legends and ghost stories, such as that of the headless corpse at Knowles Building, and the \u2018pig skin ghost\u2019 (\u8c6c\u76ae\u9b3c). Tell us<\/a> if you\u2019d like us to share more!<\/p>\n

5. The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK): The Braided Girl<\/h3>\n
\"ghost
There sure are a lot of ghost stories in Hong Kong taking place around train tracks\u2026 (Photography: Eternal Child via Pexels)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Did you find the first story spine-chilling? Brace yourself, for this other ghost story from the CUHK is even more terrifying (and \u2013 just a warning \u2013 a little gory, too). Set in the 60s, this tale involved a young lady with a long braid. Attempting to smuggle herself across the border from Mainland China, the girl hopped onto the train without a ticket. When the train operator came through to check tickets, the girl tried to flee by jumping off the train. Unfortunately, her long braid got stuck between the tracks, tearing away her scalp and her face\u2026 This happened at the train station near CUHK. Since then, passers-by have reported seeing a braided girl weeping with her back to them; when she turned around, they saw something horrifying \u2013 and we\u2019d leave that to your imagination.<\/p>\n

This ghost story was so prominent that the path where the tragedy allegedly happened is now known as Braid Road (\u8fae\u5b50\u8def or \u4e00\u689d\u8fae\u8def). Good luck walking that path alone at night, because you certainly won\u2019t see us there!<\/p>\n

6. The University of Hong Kong (HKU): Don\u2019t Go Near the Lotus Pond at Night<\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s another Hong Kong urban legend from HKU\u2019s plethora of ghost stories. Legend has it that a female student fell in love with a male professor. Not only was this relationship doomed from the beginning since he was a teacher, but he was also married at the time. Yet, the student\u2019s feelings were reciprocated, and the couple decided to run away together. They\u2019d decided to meet up at the lily pond (officially the Mong Kwok Ping Garden) near the main building at midnight. However, the professor never showed up. Saddened by the betrayal, the student committed suicide by jumping into the lily pond.<\/p>\n

To this day, students hanging around the lily pond at night have reported encountering a female ghost who relentlessly asks them for the time. Allegedly, if you answer the ghost, she\u2019ll drag you into the lily pond with her! Best to keep the time to yourself, it seems.<\/p>\n

7. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU): The Child by the Pool<\/h3>\n

This Hong Kong urban legend from PolyU is a sad one. One side of the student canteen is decorated with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering ample natural light for those enjoying a meal. One used to be able to see through to the Michael Clinton Swimming Pool on the other side, but all the windows are now covered with reflective stickers.<\/p>\n

Legend has it that one summer night, a child (likely a professor\u2019s son) only a few years old had drowned in the swimming pool. At the time, the windows in the canteen had yet to be covered with stickers. Since the kid\u2019s passing, students dining at night have reported seeing a child climbing up from the swimming pool, waddling towards the canteen, before disappearing by the window. Eventually, no one dared to sit near the windows and the canteen has seen significantly less business. Thankfully, the university decided to cover up the windows, so students will frequent the canteen again.<\/p>\n
