Imagine, commissioning a resort built for the affluent and upwardly mobile population streaming out of Taipei. The concept revolves around futuristic pods arranged like an Orwellian community, only to be abandoned.
This was Taiwan's government's failed dream. However, mysterious circumstances surrounding deaths of several construction workers consequently left the site, not only, abandoned but clouded in rumours that it is also haunted.
Locals say the site is occupied by the ghosts of those workers who died in vain at the hand of numerous mysterious accidents. Apparently, because they aren't remembered they are unable to pass to the next world, and because this is considered a grave site, demolishing the units is apparently not an option.
The myth surrounding this little San Zhi resort somehow makes the
images much more special.
Apparently, the 4 pod construction made the units inexpensive to produce at some point in the 80's. Of course, nothing is confirmed on the buildings since the architects are unnamed and the construction workers who are still around are mum.
What is known is that somewhere, right now, there are a league of Orthodox Hipster Bohemians with their eye on the property to free the spirits from their earthly shackles and to transform the property into a commune of flower children and livestock.
