Hong Kong Horror

Hong Kong Horror covers stories from across Asia. My name is Simon, and after each story, I break it all down from a Chinese cultural perspective to cover cultural beliefs and try to figure out exactly what is happening in these stories. I will be uploading once a week for free public episodes, and once a month for membership exclusive episodes!

  • 74 - We Booked the Cheapest House on Vacation. It Was a Massive Mistake.

    Hey Hong Kong Horror family! Simon here.Viewer Discretion Advised: This week’s episode touches on heavy themes, including severe depression and self-harm. Please take care of yourself while listening, and feel free to skip this one if you need to.This week, we're following three college friends who book a dirt cheap, remote rental deep in the Thai countryside to escape the stress of post-grad job hunting. But as they quickly find out, when a deal seems too good to be true, there's usually a terrifying catch. What starts as a relaxing getaway turns into a nightmare when they realize they aren't the only ones staying in the house...and that a strange, knobless door at the end of the upstairs hallway was sealed shut for a reason.Stick around after the story for our signature breakdown! We’re diving into the cultural and spiritual side of this haunting, exploring concepts like 冤魂 (wronged spirits), 附身 (spirit attachment/possession), and how deeply rooted 執念 (unresolved attachments) can keep someone tethered to this world. We'll also take a look at how Buddhism traditionally views the complex nature of the afterlife.If you're carrying a heavy burden right now, please know you aren't alone. Things can and do change. Hang in there.
