Why is Bride's Pool called the most "scary" waterfall in China?
01. Horrible legend.
Four sedan bearers carried the bride to her husband’s house. The bride was wearing a red wedding dress and a red hijab, and she was sitting in the sedan chair. When passing by the bride’s pool, the bearers slipped due to the slippery ground. , the sedan chair fell under the waterfall, and by the time everyone hurriedly fished it out, the bride had drowned.
This story contains many horror elements: red clothes, bride, drowning, newlyweds...
In traditional Chinese horror ghost stories, the person wearing red clothes After the death of women, they are all ghosts with relatively high levels. They are born with high magic power and a strong desire for revenge. Coupled with the identity of the bride, they are probably full of resentment. If the groom marries again..., can we Based on the identity of this ghost, a ghost story of 100,000 words was compiled.
In short, this legend fills the Bride's Pond with an aura of terror, so some people always say they have seen dead brides here, just like some people say they have seen palace maids in the Forbidden City, but without pictures, there is no truth. Didi cannot be trusted.
02. Hong Kong’s ghost culture has played an important role.
The two favorite places in Asia to shoot ghost movies are Japan and Hong Kong. Hong Kong really has a lot of ghost stories, and they also believe in fortune telling, fortune-changing, Feng Shui, etc., plus Witchcraft temples are prevalent in Southeast Asia, which has spawned a large number of ghosts and ghosts.
The reason why Hong Kong people believe in Feng Shui, metaphysics and ghosts is because Hong Kong is a city of immigrants. Those who went to Hong Kong in the early days were all unemployed people who had fled and had limited education, so they believed more and more in these ghosts. Therefore, Hong Kong's unique ghost culture has a broad mass base.
Later, when the education level and income level of Hong Kong people improved, they still believed in these things. People like the richest man Li Ka-shing believed in this and even changed the Cheung Kong Group Building on the advice of Feng Shui masters. design.
Ordinary people will only get worse.
For example, if I heard that a place in Xi'an is haunted, I would tell him to stop making trouble. The tombs under the city of Xi'an are just like apartment buildings. If there are ghosts after death, then Xi'an Xi'an Nothing weird happens on this subway. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Line 1 and Line 2...
But Hong Kong people will believe it to be true, and then attribute all the strange things that happen around them to ghosts. Even if a place appears in a ghost movie, slowly this place will also There are really ghosts. The legend of the drowned bride like the Bride's Pool may have started out as a story, and it became true as it was passed down.
In 1996, a movie was made in Hong Kong called "Bride Pool". If you don't watch it, you will basically know that it is a ghost story. It has ghost legends. Reprocessed in movies, TV shows and word of mouth, Bride Pool becomes more and more terrifying.

Bride's Pool Road is a narrow road with many twists and turns. There is less traffic on the road. Drivers can easily make mistakes or speed, causing car accidents.

If he doesn't like you, if you just cook and eat with him every day and buy gifts for him, he will think you are so cheap.
