Engin Village

Ёнгин, Korea, South Korea

Description

The legend of the "immaculate ghosts" originated in this village. That's what the spirits of dead virgins are called. Their distinctive features are long black hair covering their face and white mourning clothes. It is believed that their appearance portends trouble.

In fact, this legend was invented by parents so that the girls would get married as soon as possible. It seems that the myth has been debunked and everyone has known the truth for a long time, but the image of the ghost of a lonely virgin is firmly entrenched in culture.
