San Zhi is a town that stands out with its distinctive design and interesting story. Designed with a modern architecture, the town has an appearance resembling UFO houses. The town, which is planned to make a great contribution to the country’s tourism, is planned as a holiday village where the wealthy can live. But due to the events that took place during the construction of the houses, it is known as the cursed town. Today, it looks like a ghost town that no one visits.
Known as “UFO houses” around the world, the city of San Zhi is located in Taiwan. The project of these houses, the construction of which began in 1978, has an architecture far ahead of its time. At the beginning of this extraordinary and remarkable project, it showed great promise. But after the setbacks, many of the houses had to be left unfinished and abandoned. Today, it is one of the places visited only for the purpose of taking pictures.
San Zhi’s Cursed History
When the construction of the UFO houses was first started, the construction company quit the project before even the black structures were revealed. Afterwards, other companies were involved in the project, but they fled away. The reason this; Many occupational accidents occur during construction works. Mortality rates after these accidents are also quite high.
Most of the accidents happened in ways that could be said to be almost impossible. Unexplained mysterious accidents have occurred. For this reason, no one could afford to work in the construction of houses. As time passed, the stories told about the houses built began to increase. For this reason, it has become almost impossible to work in construction. In addition to the deaths due to the accident that occurred during the construction, the incidence of suicide has also increased. The bankruptcy of the companies that took the project, respectively, triggered the events and caused the project to be disrupted.
In the intervening time, the stories about San Zhi Town have spread and become a legend. It is believed that the ghosts of people who died during the construction are there. Many people even describe hearing or seeing these ghosts. Therefore, it soon spread that the town was a cursed place. A mass grave was found in the area during construction. This triggered the town’s ghost legend, making the story even more chilling.
The area where the houses were built was once used as a Japanese death camp. Locals believe that the ghosts of those who died in the camp return to take revenge. Due to the countless stories told about it, the town has become one of the places that no one dares to pass by in time. Due to its frightening appearance, demolition decision was taken several times by the government. However, the local people opposed this destruction to avoid trouble and because they thought that evil spirits should not be disturbed.
