Excerpt from Irish Local Legends The collecting and preservation of Folk-lore Tales have engaged the attention and interest of many national writers, especially during the present century. Such compositions have been presented in all known languages, while they have an undoubted ethnological value in historical and romantic literature. Fantastical or visionary though the topics may appear to be, still their record is pleasing to the imagination, and even inviting to philosophic reflection. Let not our readers suppose that fables are solely based on idealism. Subjectively to our ancestors, several were realistic; while objectively, their themes are frequently traced from, if not found within, the domain of fact. This is more especially true of many Irish Local Legends. Their original forms have undergone various changes during the lapse of time. Popular and oral narrative often becomes an alembic of transmission, which serves to draw forth their spirit and essence, while flavoured or coloured with fantasy and invention, to supply the loss of historic or traditional incidents. However, the term Legend has an application to narratives and relations, not even remotely bordering on romance; and therefore, in connection with the subject matter of the present little work are introduced themes only intended to revive some reminiscences of customs and incidents, that are fast fading from a knowledge of the present generation.

Urban Legend: Spiritual Legend (Part 2) Hong Kong has a lot of myths about the mysterious city, and the speakers all talk about it in order to increase the credibility of the rumors.There are "truths and falsehoods" in it. How many readers have you heard, and how much do you think they are inconsistent with the facts? Murray Building Ghost Typing The original site of Murray House is located at the current site of Bank of China. After its completion in 1846, it witnessed the opening of Hong Kong for more than a century. During the fall of Hong Kong, the Murray House was occupied by the Japanese army as the command center of the Japanese army. After Hong Kong regained its light, the British army relocated, but haunted incidents continued to spread. In the 1960s, the TD's office was located in Murray Building, Central. Some employees heard strange typewriter sounds at night. They also said that all typewriters were moved to the ground overnight. Some foreign officials stunned and fainted. To appease the hearts of the people, the TD invited the monks to do something to purify their grievances, and even the government departments drove the ghosts away. In 1982, the land was used for the construction of a new building of the Bank of China, and the Murray House was demolished. The components were retained until 1998, and was used to rebuild this historic building in Stanley. Heng Tau Hom and cross head According to rumors, the Japanese army was beheaded and executed when it occupied Hong Kong, so it was called Hengtou, and it was later renamed Hengtou. In the early 1950s, the government built a seven-storey resettlement area in Heng Tau Hom near Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon, to house residents affected by the demolition of wooden houses. In the stadium of Heng Tau Hom Estate, every July in the lunar calendar, a Menglan event will be held to cross the dead soul. It is rumored that many alternative supporters are headless. Reconstruction of Heng Tau Hom Estate began in the late 1970s, and new buildings were completed between 1982 and 1994. Ghost Bride in Bridal Pool It is said that before, four bearers carried a bride and married Wuluteng to Lukang. They passed over a waterfall on the way, and the bearers carefully stepped on the rocks exposed on the water. Due to the slippery rocks, one of the bearers slipped, and the bride and the sedan fell down and drowned. This pond was named "Bridal Pool", and there have been haunted incidents since then. Some say that the feet of dead brides will be seen in the water. The mirror pool next to the Bride's Pool is legendary that the dead bride will come to look at the pool. The mirror pool is known as "the most spectacular waterfall and water pool" in Hong Kong. Although the bride's pool has horror legends related to newlyweds, many newcomers still take wedding photos in the wedding pool. It is rumored that a pair of newlyweds took wedding photos at the newlyweds. In the photo, there was a bride wearing a phoenix crown and beckoning them from a distance. Hang Neck Ridge is Tiu Jing Ling The bay of Tiu Jing Ling is round and calm. The fishermen of the family at that time called the mirror ring, and the land on the hill was called Zhao Jing Ling. Another statement was that Hakka women who lived in the southwest of Tseung Kwan O from the Tianhou Ancient Temple of Sanjia Village to Tseung Kwan O Bay area, wore Hakka costumes to farm in the fields, and hats on their heads were called mirrors because of the sun reflection. After the name Zhaojingling was rented to the New Territories in the United Kingdom, it became a hanging neck because of a suicide by a foreigner. In 1905, Lenny, a retired Canadian civil servant, built a flour mill in Zhao Jing Ling. The local place name was also known as Lenny's Mill. Because of the failure of the business, Lenny collapsed in April 1908. He hanged himself on the flour mill on April 14th, locally known as Hang Neck Ridge. In the 1950s, Kuomintang refugees fleeing Hong Kong from the mainland were resettled here by the Hong Kong Government. The director of the Hong Kong Government Social Affairs Bureau 's relief agency, Li Yannong, took the homonym of “Hang Neck Ridge” and renamed it “Tiu Jing Ling”, meaning “adjusting the situation” . Polytechnic Ghost At the university's main entrance to Austin Road, after passing the pool, there was a staircase on the top of the staircase. There was a red fiberglass ceiling on the top of the staircase. In the past, a worker fell from a height and died. Many students claimed that when they passed the site, they saw a man fell off the beam. PolyU has an artificial grass field.It is rumored thatworkers were buried alive by stone excrement. Some red liquid often leaked out of the grassland. Some people even saw a person covered with stone excrement crawling out of the grass. There is a row of floor-to-ceiling glass with reflective tape on the canteen of PolyU. It is said that someone was drowned in the swimming pool outside the canteen. Often, someone sees a person jumping from the swimming pool through the floor-to-ceiling glass and sticks the whole body on the glass. In order to avoid anxiety, the relevant party affixed a sheet of paper to cover the window. Tai O "Luting Murloc" Legend "Lu Ting" is also known as "Lu Yu""Lu Tingyu Ren" or "Lu Heng Yuren". The "Lingnan Congshu" by Deng Chun, a Dongguan native in the Ming Dynasty, mentioned: "Datu Mountain, Sanliuyu In the sea of ​​Guanyi, there are many cave species in the waterside rock caves, or the lineage of Lu Xun, now known as Lu Ting,also known as Lu Yu. " Legend has it that "Lu Ting" is a humanoid with scales on his body. He is good at fishing and loves to suck chicken blood. According to legend, Lu Xun, a local official from the East Jin Dynasty, defeated Guangdong, and the remnants inhabited the waters of Lantau. "Lu Ting" sometimes exchanged fish with Tai O residents for fish catches and sneaked into farms to steal chickens. It is said that "Lu Ting" is shaped like a bear and escapes into the sea after consuming chicken blood. Local newspapers have reported that 13 chickens in Tai O died bizarrely, all of which were drained of blood.
