【Event】Ghost Moon Brings Horses Over - Midnight Mountain Road Horror

The story happened about 20 years ago, when I was about 5 years old.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, my dad drove me and my mother back to my grandparents' house. We were afraid of traffic jams, so we set off at five in the morning and drove all the way from Taipei to Chiayi. .

However, due to the work of our parents, we could only stay for half a day, and we had to drive back to Taipei immediately, so we said goodbye to our grandparents in a hurry at around 5 o'clock in the evening and drove all the way north.

For some reason, the traffic flow to the north was not as low as expected that day. We stopped at two or three rest stops on the way, and successfully left the congested highway six hours later.

Because my parents were not familiar with the road conditions, we accidentally came to the junction of Taipei County and the city. The traffic was sparse and the lights were dim. My parents were worried that they would continue to drive home, maybe it was already early in the morning.

"Why don't we go to Wulai for one night?" Dad said.

Because I was motion sick at the time, my parents decided to go to the nearby Wulai Mountains to find a hotel so that I could get off the bus as soon as possible, and if we were lucky, we could still stroll around the scenic area in the morning, which seemed to be a plan.

Just like that, Dad turned the car to Wulai, which they had never been to, and drove up the mountain road.

As the road markings illuminated by the headlights drove, the fog on the windows became thicker and thicker, and the road conditions began to be bumpy. Because the air in the car was too stuffy, I was getting more and more uncomfortable from motion sickness. From a little nauseated to a very painful stomach, my parents saw that my condition was not very good, and they could not drive to the scenic area, so they decided to turn back down the mountain.

"Just be patient, we'll go home right away," Mom said, massaging around my belly button with essential oils.

Suddenly, Dad stopped the car—
I saw a Y-shaped intersection that I had not seen before.

"Did there be this intersection just now?"
"No. Did you drive in the wrong direction?"
"I came back along the same path, didn't I change direction?"

Listening to my parents arguing, I feel my stomach hurts even more. Mom saw that I was very uncomfortable, so she opened the car window halfway for me, and continued to study with Dad how to go. Suddenly, a car quickly turned past us, and the red taillights soon disappeared on the left side of the Y-junction.

Because that car was really driving too fast, the three of us didn't even notice what kind of car it was, let alone how could it be possible to drive so fast on such a winding mountain road?

"Or just walk around with that car?" Pa said again.

In desperation, our car started again and drove along the left section of the Y-junction. I saw a bottomless valley outside the fence of the opposite driveway. The low sound of the creek continued to disturb the air. My parents could only concentrate on the road markings in front of them, expecting a bright light on the other end of the road. On the other hand, I was constantly attacked by stomach pains and headaches. I didn't even care about the road conditions, and my vision became more and more blurred, and I almost fainted.

When I woke up, I was already in bed in a hotel in Wulai, it was one o'clock in the morning. At that time, I asked my parents why they didn't come home, and they just persuaded me to go to bed earlier, so they went to bed with me.

At around 6:00 the next morning, my parents hurriedly called me and quickly left the Wulai Mountains, but the two of them never explained to me how they found the hotel.

Six or seven years later, I suddenly remembered Wulai, so I asked my mother how I got back to the hotel after I fell asleep that day.

According to my mother, the car drove into a dead end, and the car in front did not know where to go. Seeing that our fuel tank was less than one-third left, Dad decided to turn back the same way again. As a result, it was just after twelve o'clock. The sign appeared suddenly, and the car quickly drove to the hotel where I stayed that day, but the hotel didn't feel very comfortable, and I didn't see other passengers, so I left the mountain so early that day...

So far, I have never been to Wulai again.
