Surrounded by graves, a haunted school with
various alleged ghosts.
Graves of hundreds of villagers who lost their lives
fighting the British in the Six-Days War of 1899.
A red lady ghost who allegedly hanged herself
to death is claimed to haunt the school
And in Chinese beliefs dying in red creates
a powerful and dangerous spirit
called ‘Crimson Ghost’ (Hung Yi Nguikui),
and pray you never see her if you go there.
Supposedly the lady in red has appeared
in the lady’s room where she hung herself to death.
Some say they have seen her in mirrors or
floating along the halls.
If you go there, and she is real, pray she’s not
a hitchhiker ghosts that follows you home.
And pray if you visit there, you don’t go crazy
and have to be hospitalized like some school girls did.
Better yet, forget about visiting Tak Tak School. Why
do that to yourself? Visit Tsz Shan Monastery instead.
