Linsen Park and the Japanese cemetery

Taipei's Linsen and Kangle parks were built over the Japanese cemetery and a squatter village; when they opened in 1997 rumours spread of restless spirits among the old torii gates.

1997 CE · 25.05, 121.52 · status: claim

The account

The two torii belong to the tomb of Governor-General Akashi Motojiro, buried here in 1919, and were rediscovered and moved into the park.

The sceptical view

Ghost talk attaches to former burial grounds in every city.
