Some of the mannequins are hanging from the tree.
The legs lie on the side of the mountain.
He painted red paint like bloodstains everywhere.
Even though we are filming to see if this is not enough, we hang five colors of cloth everywhere.
It made me feel more scared than the horror experience center I paid for.
As you can see, the road leads to a sharp curve.
As soon as you turn the curve, you can see the shapes there, so the risk of an accident is high.
[인근 주민 : 처음에 왔을 때 깜짝 놀랐어요. 관을 3개나 세워놨더라고요. 사고 날 뻔했지요. 한 사람, 두 사람 그런 게 아니에요.]
Residents walking into and out of town along this road suffer from nightmares.
[맹영선/인근 주민 : (딸이) 악몽을 꾼다거나 혼자 못 있고 겁이 나서. 귀신이 나타날 것 같다고. 등하교 때마다 눈을 감아요. 이걸 보기 싫어서.]
It was a week ago that a strange figure appeared on the roadside near Bomun Complex, a representative tourist attraction in Gyeongju.
This is a policy that the owner of this land came up with after protesting various things when he applied to build a tourist farm and did not get permission.
[박진영/경북 경주시청 도시계획과 : 3개월 차이로 인접지에 같이 (개발 허가가) 들어왔습니다. 다 해주면 난개발이 우려가 되지요. 경관도 훼손이 되고.]
The owner of the land is operating or building a pension in the immediate vicinity, but he is in the position of why not here.
[땅 주인/귀신 모습 구조물 설치 : 산림훼손이 우려가 되는 바로 옆 땅에 펜션사업을 하고 있습니다. 농어촌사업도 아니고.]
Residents have been asking City Hall and the police to remove the haunted structures, again and again.
However, neither the city hall nor the police are in a position to call them private property.
For the time being, the roadside horror experience site is likely to remain the same, and residents will have to endure this spectacle every time they pass this road.
