That would be very cool.

Time Out did a whole ghost and haunted things issue last year in October (Helloweeen). Very good stories they had there...

I'll try to dig it up somewhere, I can't really remember everything.

All I remember now is that old building on Chongwenmen Neidajie, and that old building compound where Ruifu was. They are supposed to be haunted.

BTW, once I went to Ruifu with few friends, we decided to go out for a joint or two, and hought the best place would be just inside of that compound as it looks like a park almost.

It does look a bit eerie during the night. And it was only few of us, no lights, cold night and all that,and we had a great adrenaline rush out of it, well, I did, others were cool about it. I kept turning around back at every little sound. Quite fun.

But Ruifu seems to be gone now...maybe it's because of the ghosts they business was bad.

Chaoyangmennei da jie, well, it's west of chaoyangmen subway station.

If you're taking the subway, take the southwest exit, cross the street to get on the norht side (there's no northwest exit, you see), and then go towards west, after maybe few hunderd meters, very very close, maybe right after the first pedestrian bridge, you will see an old building, not at all chinese style, it should date since colonial times, it looks great, very creepy and beautiful.

Ofcourse, you can't go inside, as the gate doors are always locked and very often I would see some guys in military uniforms hanging around there for soem reason.

Go see it before it gets torn down. Actually I haven't been there for quite a while, I hope it's still standing

Fireworks are supposed to drive them away. I think China exports it's ghosts along with everything else.

I'm a big believer in ghosts having seen one and witnessed the effects of the same over the course of two years (cheap dilapateded college apartment, probably 100 years old).

.....oh crap.....
ok,i confess....i'm one of them.....

just read one last night, about the mysterious ghost encountering on bus 330 in Beijing...it's in Chinese....

http://www.ichangping.com/html/39/t-2739.html

It was several years ago in 90's, one night around 11pm, one bus was running towards the Xiang shan(xiang mountain), it was a awesome dark night. and there r about 3 or 5 people on the busy. And at one stop, three strange people get on the bus, then the bus close the door and keep going on. after a while, suddenly,one young guy on the bus was yelling to an old man:" hey! u stole my wallet!"

The old man :“what the f***ing wrong with u? I even don't move!"
The young man:"No,it's u, u stole my walet! let't go to the police station!"
The old man:"well,i'm not scared to the police station,let's go."

After they getting off the bus.

The old man:"I don't steal ur walet,what's wrong with u?"
the young man:"ok ok, calm down, I know no one on bus steal my walet, but maybe u should thank me for saving u...."
The old man:"why???"
The young man:"Did u see the three people clearly who just getting on the bus?"
The old man:" not very clearly,so what's wrong?"
The young man:" I saw them clearly, the middle one is a cadaver(dead), he was put up by both man to get on the bus."
The old man:"wo cao............."

And in the next day, one news was reported:"some one find a crashed bus somewhere at Xiang shan area, no one on the bus, people disappeared......

That story doesn't make any sense.

Can someone translate it a little better? David's version in English is quite muddled.

Has anyone seen this? I listened to this recording. But, like the OP, my Chinese ain't up to Beijing taxi driver speed.

this is not a ghost story of Beijing, but anyway.

这是一件真事．现在都过去４年了，可是每当我想起来都觉的……不寒而栗．我父母的单位承担了青藏铁路的勘查设计工作．大家知道在青藏线上，因为环境的恶劣，死人 是经常的事。这本来也没什么，可是……

那天是早上11点左右，从青藏线上传来消息，我们单位的一位元总工在青藏线上翻车死了.这个人在青藏线上算一个重量级的人物，他的死非常可惜．本来死了也就死了，可是事后传出来的消息让我们单位陷入了一片KB中．

事情是这样，在他翻车的那天（周末）上午９点左右，他老婆在家看电视．突然有人敲门．他老婆就去开门，门外站了一个女人，３０岁左右，穿的干干净净，但显的不土也不洋，有点怪怪的感觉．还没等她老婆开口，那女人就说道："太太，请问你家有鞋吗？把你家的鞋给我一双行吗？"

大家知道现在这样上门要东西的乞丐很多也很烦，他老婆也以为是乞丐，所以当时想都没想就把门给关了．那人也没再敲．可过了一会，他老婆越想越不对，乞丐不该穿的这么干净啊？乞丐上门一般都是要口饭要点钱，哪有要鞋的呢？？再说了，当是也没见到那女人光着脚的啊？

那老婆越想心越慌，就打开门去看，哪有人了？她又敲邻居家的门问．邻居说没有乞丐去她们家要鞋的．她老婆这时就觉的心里很不舒服，但哪点不对又说不上．于是她就往她家打了个电话．他老婆老家是农村的，她把这件事给她妹妹说了．她妹妹说，这件事绝不是好事，等她把这事算一卦，算好马上打给她． 大概过了半小时，电话打来了，她妹妹第一句话就是："快！快把那人找回来！"她老婆说："那人早找不到了，怎么了？不好吗？"她妹妹急急说："姐啊，这是一个特凶的卦．那人不是问你家要鞋吗？"鞋，就是"邪"啊！！你家有极邪之气，将遇大劫！那人是阴间的使者，她来问你家要鞋，是给你家最后一次机会啊，现在你把她赶走了，邪就没要走，那你家???"说着她妹竟在电话那头哭了起来。 "

他老婆一听就瘫了。但再怎么说她老婆也是个知识份子，虽说心还是莫名其妙慌的不行，但还是强作镇定。结果，到11点过，青藏线得电话就来了。她老公，出事了。

事后她把这件事说给人家听。人家安慰她，问她是不是受刺激太深了产生了幻觉，或是有了精神分裂自己安慰自己。可是她说："我是个人民教师，我怎么会编这些嘛？人都死了，我还编来有什么用呢？？" !

这件事绝对真实，当时在我们单位引起了恐慌，没人能解释，也没人能忘记。这件事我在心里放了四年，今天把它拿出来和大家讨论，有谁能说，这真的是巧合吗？？

不管怎样，记住，如果以后有人去你家要鞋，一定要给他!!!

Not in BJ, but Shanghai or Singapore. Any chance of getting the English version somewhere?
