It's in Korean but that shouldnt stop you from looking at it.
Translations by me
It was around 11:20 in the night. After my self-study session at the school, I was leading my exhausted self back home. For some reason, not a single soul was to be seen on my way back that day. I live in a large apartment complex, so there’s usually people around even at night.
Anyways, with a nagging feeling, I was walking while staring at the ground. I noticed that there was a shadow pointed towards me, even though I was sure that there wasn’t anyone ahead of me, and I looked up wondering whom it might be…
There was a lady ahead, but her form seemed a bit odd.
She was walking as if she had hurt her legs; stumbling around. The distance between us quickly shrank as she was walking slowly. As I got closer, I could see her more clearly.
She was wearing pink PJ. It seemed as if she had broken joints at a few places. Her hair was incredibly messy, stretching in all directions.
I got a weird feeling, so I stopped walking.
Something told me that I shouldn’t move ahead, and I also didn’t have the courage to walk past her. (She turns around) “Scared witless that you can’t even scream.” This saying is very true. I couldn’t even flinch in shock.
“WHERE… IS MY BABY?”
All sorts of thoughts passed through my head…
Haa… I still don’t know why I said that… It scares me to think about it even today.
I pointed as far as I could see, and said…
“o-over there.” The woman stumbled towards that direction… and I couldn’t see her anymore.
Worried that I will meet her again, I quickly turned around to get out of the area. I couldn’t think about anything, but to walk towards somewhere more crowded at that moment.
“WHY IS SHE NOT HERE?!!!!!!” I could hear her cry of anger.
I couldn’t remember anything after that. Apparently a neighbour had discovered my fainted self and carried me back to my house.
Author’s note:
In 2007 at a certain apartment complex in Seoul’s Bongcheondong, a 33 year old female jumped to her death. The reason for her suicide was the delivery of a stillborn baby, a subsequent divorce with her husband and the loss of her 2 year-old daughter to her husband in a law-suit.
She was rumoured to have been seen walking around in the apartment complex a few times since then.
Her appearance of dislocated joints, broken limbs, blood-stained pyjamas at the time of her death has lead to people present at the scene of her death to suffer from nightmare.
