Sanjhih Pod City in Nothern Tapei, with its abandoned and worn Futuro houses, is like no other place on Earth. Construction began in 1978 on what was supposed to be a vacation paradise for the wealthy. But the project was abandoned while in progress, because of financial problems and the accidental death of many workers, which convinced people the property was haunted. An excerpt from a story about the futuristic ghost town in the Taipei Times:

“One of the designers behind the UFO houses spoke exclusively to the Taipei Times. Lin, who only gave his family name, said that there were lots of rumors about the site, but most of them were false.

‘First of all, the site is definitely not haunted,’ Lin said, in reference to oft-heard rumors that many people have seen ghosts near the complex or the high number of unexplained traffic accidents on the nearby road.

There were also rumors that more than 20,000 skeletons were discovered at the site when construction work began and that it was the scene of several murders.”
