GHOSTS AND HAUNTING ARE WORLDWIDE PHENOMENA AS SEOUL KOREA HAS ITS GHOST HAUNTING SITES WHERE TRAVELING THESE STREETS AT NIGHT TIME CAN MEAN A HAUNTING OF SORT–AS SEOUL GHOST TOUR CALLED THE DARK SIDE OF SEOUL CAN TAKE YOU THERE THIS HALLOWEEN 2015

According to many, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Seoul was haunted. Homes deserted after murders and lynchings had occurred during times of unrest were natural sites for haunting but not all ghosts were content with remaining at one site ― some roamed about the streets.
At a well near Cheonggye Stream and the Jeongdong area, women were afraid to go there by themselves ― especially at night ― for fear of being accosted by the spirit of a decapitated man who had been executed for some unknown transgression. Apparently the ghost wandered about seeking a drink to quench his everlasting thirst but was unable to do so because he had no head.
The area surrounding the Independence Arch was avoided at night because it was said to be plagued by restless spirits and tokgabi (goblins). Tokgabi were generally mischievous but could be extremely dangerous if angered. They assumed many shapes and often began as simple mundane items that had been corrupted when blood ― especially women's ― was splattered upon them. Thus, it is no wonder they were often found near execution grounds, battle-fields and sites where murders or accidents had occurred. The tokgabi often roamed in legions and could cause whole neighborhoods or villages to become deserted.
