Features: This is a collection of urban ghost stories. The content consists entirely of widely circulated ghost stories passed down by word of mouth, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and fiction. These stories express certain hidden psychological currents of people in a terrifying and thrilling way, reflecting their unspoken inner thoughts, and even indirectly revealing the social trends of the time. These ghost stories have now become a part of folkloristics and are academically referred to as urban legends. The classification of urban legend works is based on space, such as ghost stories set in schools, hospitals, restrooms, elevators, homes, and modes of transportation, etc. These spaces, due to their enclosed nature and being beyond individual control, are places where people are most prone to feel terror. Ghosts in school? Encountering ghosts in the hospital? Ghosts offering rides? You may not have experienced them firsthand, but can you really disbelieve them?!
