In the elevator of the building that was operating normally, a female corpse with a hateful face and a black body suddenly popped up, and the seventy-year-old man who was alone in the elevator collided with this female corpse. In the dozens of minutes when he stared at the female corpse, how much psychological pressure did the old man experience? Who did the female corpse in the elevator do? And why, the moment the elevator opened, rushed into the elevator?
01
Elevator female corpse
This is a real case in Taiwan that occurred in August 2010, at half past eight in the evening of the 20th of that month, the elderly Uncle Zhang went to the Three Gorges from Hualien to visit his daughter. The daughter lives on the 7th floor of the apartment, but for some reason, Uncle Zhang made a ghost to press the 6th floor. As a result, no one expected that the moment the elevator door opened, a female corpse with a hateful face and a black body fell straight into the arms of Uncle Zhang, who was about to go out.
At that time, Uncle Zhang was unprepared, and suddenly a corpse fell in, so frightened that Uncle Zhang hurriedly reached out to support him. But it doesn't matter if this help, this female corpse has a dark face, her back is facing the sky, and her wide eyes are staring at Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang was already 76 years old, and he was so frightened that he threw the female corpse to the ground. He sat on the ground and kept retreating to the corner of the elevator, but the face of the female corpse was always facing him, and Uncle Zhang was so frightened that he was almost gone.
In addition, Taiwan itself believes in ghosts and gods, and August 16 is the "ghost month" in their traditional Xi. Legend has it that on the first day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the door of ghosts will be opened, and for a whole month after that, ghosts will come to wander the world.
And it was with the blessing of such a legend that the 76-year-old Uncle Zhang kept looking at the female corpse for dozens of minutes, no one knew what was in his heart at that time, and every second was so tormenting for him.
But at the same time, Uncle Zhang was not the only one who was suffering, because the family of this corpse couldn't find her, and there was no way to do it.
It turned out that the identity of this female corpse was an old lady surnamed Chen, and in terms of appearance, she was about fifty or sixty years old. She suffers from a slight mental problem, so every week, she regularly comes to the 5th floor of this patriarch Tianxia to see a doctor.
In addition to some residents on the 5th floor, there is also a sanatorium called "Yongcheng Rehabilitation Home", where Mrs. Chen came to see a doctor.
Because of the long-term stable treatment, although Mrs. Chen had mild mental problems, her symptoms were very stable during that time, which is why his family was relieved that she went out alone.
But no one expected that after Mrs. Chen walked into the elevator, the button pressed was not the 5th floor, but the 6th floor. The moment the elevator door opened, Mrs. Chen walked out, but she didn't expect that this walk would be forever separated. Because in front of her, it was not the familiar corridor, but a closed iron door.

Why is there an iron door?
Because the space of this iron gate and elevator is just enough to accommodate one person, Mrs. Chen also walked in smoothly. But as soon as she got out of the elevator, she found that she had been blocked by the iron door. Mrs. Chen realized that she must have pressed the wrong floor, but when she wanted to turn around and return to the elevator, the elevator door was already closed.
In this way, Mrs. Chen was trapped in this small mezzanine of about 40 centimeters, which could only accommodate one person, and she couldn't even complete the turn. However, when the elevator leaves, most people will think about pressing the button next to the elevator. But the closed position of this iron door does not give people room to move, and Mrs. Chen's arms are relatively short, so she can't reach the elevator buttons at all. This time, it is really called the heavens and the earth.
At the same time, because the space of the elevator and the iron gate is too small, it is only less than 40 cm. Mrs. Chen couldn't even sit down and rest when she was tired, so she was forced to stand all the time. Looking at the empty and dark sixth floor, I don't know how desperate this old man was at that time.
During this period, Mrs. Chen could only stand like this all the time, hungry and thirsty, and unable to eat or drink. His family members didn't see the Empress Dowager Chen when they went home, so they immediately called the police and searched everywhere. In the process of searching, they actually came to the nursing home on the 7th floor.
When the nursing home heard that Mrs. Chen was missing, it also checked the elderly in the entire hospital and found that Mrs. Chen had indeed made an agreement with the nursing home to come for treatment on the 16th. But throughout the day, none of the staff and patients had ever seen Mrs. Chen.
So her family can only keep looking outside. It's a pity that they didn't accidentally press the button of the elevator on the 6th floor like Mrs. Chen, and no one expected that Mrs. Chen would be trapped on their heads, the 6th floor that has been uninhabited.
In fact, this 6th floor, in Taiwan, is not a bizarre legend. The reason why it has been uninhabited for a long time is because the owner has been out of town and usually has no time to come back. However, it is also possible that the owner who bought the place may have forgotten that he or she still bought the place. Because it's been 15 years since he bought it.
And this iron door was not installed by him, but the behavior of the previous owner. Because 15 years ago, this was a dojo. In order not to be disturbed in his practice, but also to prevent thieves from coming up to steal things, and he himself rarely goes downstairs, even because of the needs of life, he usually takes the traditional stairs, so he simply installed such an iron door at the entrance of this elevator.
After 15 years in a row, no one from the previous or current homeowners would have imagined that someone would be trapped in this small space because of the elevator.

Truth
In fact, after receiving the report from Mrs. Chen's family, the police immediately dispatched police forces to look for them everywhere. They and Mrs. Chen's family searched almost all the places where Mrs. Chen could go, but considering that the nursing home said that they had not seen Mrs. Chen that day, they all thought that Mrs. Chen had not been here that day, let alone come to see the monitoring in the elevator.
In this way, Mrs. Chen was alone, lonely in this dark environment, tired and hungry. According to the subsequent autopsy report, she passed away helplessly on the fifth day of her captivity. It wasn't until the 20th that Uncle Zhang coincidentally pressed the elevator on the 6th floor, and she was discovered.
But Uncle Zhang was already scared at that time, after all, he was riding the elevator alone, and a corpse suddenly fell in, which no one could bear. What's even more terrifying is that although Mrs. Chen's body fell into the elevator, her legs were still outside, and the elevator door was inducted, and every time she touched Mrs. Chen's legs, she would fall back again, and the elevator door couldn't be closed.
Just imagine, in a dimly lit narrow elevator, a female corpse falls into the ground, and the elevator door is still repeatedly reunited, so I ask you what you think. And Uncle Zhang at this time is like this, the female corpse in the elevator has been looking at him so directly, he can only curl up in a corner, and just keep looking at the female corpse for more than 20 minutes.
Suddenly, he finally mustered up the courage and trembled to pick up his mobile phone and dial his daughter's number. At that time, the daughter was working overtime, and she didn't know that her father had come to see her, but she heard that her father on the phone seemed to be frightened, and she couldn't say anything, so she could only sort out her father's situation from her father's words.
When she heard that her father was in the elevator of the building where she lived and was with a female corpse, her daughter was also startled, and she immediately called the police.
The police also came quickly, and it took only 10 minutes to arrive at the scene of the incident. But after their understanding of this place and the people in charge of management, they found that this building has a total of 3 elevators. But this is the only one that can go to the 6th floor and above. And because this elevator is too old, the police have no way to descend from the top floor to forcibly demolish it.
In addition, the elevator was not broken in the first place, so they found the person who called the police, that is, Uncle Zhang's daughter. At this time, Uncle Zhang's daughter was constantly comforting her father on the phone, saying that the police would help him out immediately. Unexpectedly, the police found him in order to make his father do something he absolutely did not want to do, that is, to move the body.
Because the elevator itself is not broken, the reason why it has been stuck on the 6th floor is entirely because Mrs. Chen's body blocked the elevator door, causing the elevator door to fail to close normally. So theoretically speaking, as long as Uncle Zhang can drag Mrs. Chen's body into the elevator and let the elevator door close, then he can get out of trouble.
But when Uncle Zhang heard this request, he kept muttering no, no. There was no way, let an Uncle Zhang, who was already afraid of ghosts and gods, take the initiative to move a corpse, he would never dare.
In this way, it was a stalemate for more than 10 minutes, and at this time, Uncle Zhang and Mrs. Chen's body had been trapped in the elevator for more than 40 minutes. Uncle Zhang's daughter is still comforting her father, and the police have been communicating with the management of the building to try other ways to rescue her.
It may be that Uncle Zhang suddenly figured it out and understood that staying here all the time was just a waste of time, or it could be that he kept persuading himself that this was just a corpse. In short, Uncle Zhang finally mustered up the courage, picked up Mrs. Chen's two arms, and dragged her into the elevator.
Now, the elevator door was unobstructed and finally closed successfully. And the time when the elevator went down to the first floor was both fear and hope for Uncle Zhang. The moment the elevator door opened on the first floor, Uncle Zhang rushed out of the elevator and collapsed to the ground. His daughter immediately went up to comfort her, and the police had already arranged for manpower to transport Mrs. Chen's body out.
Of course, at this time, the police did not know who the female corpse in the elevator was. When they rushed into the elevator to carry someone, they found that this was Mrs. Chen, who disappeared on the 14th. So I immediately contacted Mrs. Chen's family.
At this point, this sensational elevator female corpse case in Taiwan has finally come to an end. However, due to traditional Xi reasons and Uncle Zhang's encounter, many locals will still associate this matter with the "Ghost Moon". As a result, this matter has been cast a touch of mystery, and at the same time, it has attracted more people's attention.
In the end, it was determined that the owners of the building and the 6th floor were on the wrong side of their duties. However, because the iron door of the homeowner was the main cause of this incident, and the homeowner did not modify or remove the iron door after buying the building, which was the main cause of the potential safety hazard, the homeowner was convicted of negligence causing death. The homeowner apologized to Mrs. Chen's family and paid NT$700,000 in compensation in accordance with the law.
In addition, although the previous owner of the house was not sentenced for this incident, because the iron gate was installed by him after all, he also compensated Mrs. Chen's family with more than one million compensation. And after this incident, the homeowner also removed this iron door to prevent such an accident from happening again.
