Seodaemun Prison haunting claims
Built by the Japanese in 1908, the prison held and executed Korean independence activists; night guards and visitors tell of cries and figures in the execution building.
1908 CE · 37.57, 126.96 · status: claim
The account
It is now a history museum. The stories centre on the execution house and the 'tunnel of corpses' used to carry bodies out unseen.
The sceptical view
Ghost lore that follows the site's real suffering; no documented investigation exists.
