A vacation inn in Hong Kong has been called haunted after people staying there have claimed to have seen ghostly apparition of people that have ended their life in the Bela Vista Villa.
Close to the sea there is a vacation home in Cheung Chau in Hong Kong where couples visit to have a romantic time together. When staying at the place though, things can according to legend become more haunted than romantic though.
Cheung Chau island (長洲) is just southwest of Hong Kong Island has a long history of being haunted and filled with spirits. There is even a festival that could have originated because of these evil spirits. This version tells that the island was plagued by pirates and even the plague itself in the 18th century and the local islanders wanted to get rid of them. Local fishermen then brought an image of the ancient god Pak Tai, the mysterious black God of the north to the island they paraded with throughout the island and it is said that the deity drove away the evil spirits.
But what is it about this quaint beachfront vacation home that draws so many people to end their life there?
The Resort of Charcoal Suicides
The Bela Vista Villa (東堤小築) is a collection of vacation bungalows in central Cheung Chau, close to the Tung Wan Beach and a popular vacation location that in later years changed the name to Miami Resort.
It is said that the building is the place for over 20 murders and suicide cases over the last 30 years and the Bela Vista Villa has been dupped The Resort of Charcoal Suicide. People have come to this place from the rest of Hong Kong to end their life there for all sorts of reasons. What happened over the years was that it started to be a rumored haunted place as well though for the people that stayed there for their vacation.
The people that have stayed in the vacation home claim to have heard wailing screams in the night coming from the ghosts of the victims and seeing ghost apparitions of them, and it is said that the haunted ghost stories all started with a singular case.
The Murder Suicide and Ghosts of the Mother and Son
It is said that it all started the summer of 1989 when a woman together with her son vacated in one of the units. She was having marital problems and was highly unbalanced. She killed her son before herself. The mother dressed up in an all red outfit, possibly a Chinese traditional costume before hanging herself.
After this incident, it is said that the residents on the island have seen the mother and son wandering around. There have even been those who claim that they have been possessed.
Reclaiming life in the Vacation Bungalows
It is said that in later years the place has seen a decrease in these tragic ends, and hopefully the vacation homes will rather be a place of peace and beach walks and that the ghosts haunting the place will be nothing more than ghosts of the past.
