Myths - The Old Hsin Kuang Restaurant

Rumored to be built on an old Chinese morgue, the "Labor Lyceum" (as it was originally known) was bought in the 1970s by a large Hong Kong company to be run as a local restaurant. Business was bad and never improved over the years and soon, even though major renovations were completed, the restaurant shut its doors.

Believed cursed as well as haunted, the restaurant remained closed for many years; however, before giving up, the company had a traditional Chinese exorcist called in who pointed out that the two billboards directly across the street pointed like an arrowhead directly at the restaurant which allowed a natural flow of evil spirits easy access to the building. On his advice, the front entrance was moved around the corner and two lion-like fu chu dogs now guard the original entrance. The incursion of new spirits then stopped, leaving only what was already there... an apparition of a man seen occasionally in the women's washroom and reports of poltergeist activity in the restaurant.

The building is now home to several merchants, but legend still holds that an Asian female with long hair can be seen in the basement of the building near the far wall wearing a red dress. The woman is said to be an evil spirit that resides within the building attempting to collect souls.
