In 2018, South Korea released a horror film in the form of a pseudo-documentary, called "Kunchiyan", which tells the story of a group of young people who carry out a supernatural live adventure in the abandoned psychiatric hospital, Kunchiyan Psychiatric Hospital.
Stills from "Kunchiyan"
The film is said to be based on a true story, the Kunchiyan Psychiatric Hospital is located in The Town of Kunchiyan in Guangzhou, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, where it is said to have been used to bury the bodies of soldiers during World War II, and was converted into a prison after The end of World War II, where many prisoners died.
By 1961, the prison had been converted into a mental hospital, and the director was a psychopathic and cruel old woman. On the surface, she is a healer, but in fact, she uses psychopaths to do human experiments.
Countless patients in the hospital were shocked, beaten, abused, dissected, humiliated, and unable to live in peace, and finally only 42 patients were left in the hospital, and they committed suicide collectively in despair. After that, the dean went crazy and hanged himself in the dean's office, and then the nearby residents often heard all kinds of strange movements coming from the hospital.
Kunikeiwa Mental Hospital
In 1996, the Kunchiyan Mental Hospital was closed, and since then no normal person has dared to step into it for half a step, except of course.
In 2012, the ANNUAL CNN Travel Channel named Kunchiyan the first of the "World's Seven Horror Resorts".

Since having this ranking, the deadly people near and far are like the Queen Mother's mother and aunt - nerves, wave after wave of death squads, going to this abandoned hospital to take pictures, graffiti, big adventures, few people really see ghosts, but they have always enjoyed it.
Even Indian netizens have been attracted
Until October 15, 2014, two South Korean anchors came here to record videos, and they really encountered unexplained strange events.
Notice that I'm using "weird events" instead of "supernatural events," so why don't I use the term "supernatural events," because it could have been performed by these two people.
The video is less than nine minutes in total, in which two South Korean male anchors walk and talk inside the hospital, bragging about creating a horror atmosphere, saying that many people have died here, and there are some mentally ill people's hair on the ground, and the two scare each other, and there is no substantive content.
The video itself is also very depressing, the rooms are pitch black, the range that the flashlight can illuminate is limited to about five meters, and every time the camera is turned, it can always frighten the audience, but in fact, there is nothing in the dark background.
On the walls of the corridor, there are a lot of graffiti left by the previous death squads, this one was written on January 5, 2011, which means who is alive inside.
There is also this, which means that the first floor of Li Duoxi and Jin Hana has been cleaned, similar to our domestic "so-and-so visited here".
At the end of the video, there is the only high energy in the whole film.
The two anchors came to the door of room 206, the door could not be opened, and the man in white put his hand out of the small window on the entrance, but it still did not open.
Then the next second, on the other side of the door, there was a bang, and two Korean men screamed and left in fright, and the video ended abruptly.
As soon as this video was posted on the Internet, it immediately caused a huge sensation around the world, because it was the earliest field exploration video of Kunchiyan.
However, it is a pity that the original video was deleted for some reason, and now it is circulating on the Internet that the fans of the two anchors in the video reprinted it in 16 years. Although it was only reprinted, in the absence of any external boost, it still received 1.21 million views on the whole network, which shows how influential this video is.
Although the impact of this video is huge, the "banging sound" at the end is most likely only made by the man in white himself.
If we carefully observe the movements of the man in white in the video, we can clearly see that the man in white first looks down and looks down, and then a strange sound comes from under the door.
Bow your head first
After being frightened
It was clear that he had already acted before the sound appeared.
And the video can't shoot his lower body, so it is possible that he kicked the door with his foot, and then pretended to be frightened and fled, and the video stopped abruptly, leaving the audience watching the video with unlimited reverie.
Of course, for this point, I think my analysis is unreasonable, and I am welcome to leave a message in the comment area, and we will discuss it together.
Four years after this short video was issued, that is, in 2018, the horror movie "Kunchiyan" was officially released, which not only broke the record of the fastest million views in the history of previous horror films, but also refreshed the record of the highest single-day box office of korean horror movies in the past, and was praised as "the most terrifying movie in South Korea in the past decade".
The three words of Kun chiyan have also spread to all over the world through movies. Through the movie, the director vaguely told everyone that this story was adapted from a true story, so later a reporter went to Kunchiyan Town to interview local residents in an attempt to find the source of this horror rumor.
Who knew that after arriving at that place, I found that the real situation was far from the various rumors on the Internet. Local residents also have a lot of complaints about this.
The real Kunchiyan Psychiatric Hospital is a private hospital, established in 1982, surrounded by mountains on three sides and beautiful scenery.
At that time, the person in charge of the hospital chose the location of the hospital here, precisely because of the consideration of keeping the mental patients close to nature and better alleviating the condition.
However, they ignored a problem: the hospital address is too remote, not only for medical staff and patients to bring a lot of inconvenience, even the tap water supply and wastewater removal also need to be transported by truck, which invisibly caused high operating costs to the hospital belt, so Kunchiyan Psychiatric Hospital, only open for 14 years, in 1996 due to cost problems announced the closure of business.
Overnight, all the people moved away and everyone disappeared, and there were rumors that doctors and patients had committed suicide en masse.
Although the hospital was abandoned, it required a lot of money to demolish the building, and after the dean's death, his two children settled in the United States and never returned, no one was responsible for the hospital, and the government simply left it vacant.
With the loss of time, the hospital gradually became dilapidated, and the rumors were gradually enriched by the adaptation of good people, becoming the real haunted house that netizens said.
With the popularity of the movie, the abandoned hospital has become a popular punch card, and fans and psychic enthusiasts all over the world have rushed there one after another.
Inside the hospital, they graffiti, destroy buildings, and like to explore at night, making terrifying screams, although the tourism project will bring economic development to the town, but also to the local residents, it has also brought great trouble.
Graffiti left behind by the expedition
In the face of the reporter's interview, some residents said bluntly that although movies and life are two different things, why doesn't the director use his own home to make ghost films? Now that the movie is finished, the hospital is still here, and uninformed people still think that this is really a murderous house, which really affects the mood of our locals.
In February 2018, Mr. Hong, the actual heir of Kunchiyan Hospital and the son of the hospital's president at the time, returned to South Korea and filed a lawsuit against the film company and CNN, which was later rejected by the court.
In desperation, 3 months later, Mr. Hong sold this hot potato at a low price, and the day after signing the contract, the buyer immediately took action to demolish the hospital.
Demolition site
Since then, there has been no Kunchiyan Psychiatric Hospital in the world, and the local residents have finally lived a happy and peaceful life.
The above is the whole truth of the rumors of the Kunchiyan terror, if you want to use an ancient poem to describe it, it is:
There is nothing in the world, and the mediocre disturb themselves.
