Episode Highlights: A Global Haunt
In this episode, the hosts explore ghost stories with distinct cultural flavors, from Korean ghosts driven by unresolved sorrow to Japanese spirits that haunt without reason. The star of the show, actress Kim Joo Ryoung, makes a dramatic return after a year, aiming to win all 44 candles from the Dark Spirits and settle her score from Season 4.
Story 1: Hide and Seek in Singapore
Narrated by Kim Ho Young, this story follows Lee Joo Hye, a 27-year-old who moved to Singapore with her family 15 years ago. Their luxurious new home became a nightmare when Joo Hye encountered a ghostly figure mimicking her mother during a game of hide and seek. Strange whistling sounds, a swaying rocking chair, and missing CCTV footage hinted at a supernatural presence.
During Singapore’s Ghost Month, a time when hungry ghosts roam, Joo Hye unknowingly broke a taboo by whistling, inviting spirits into their home. The family faced terrifying events, including the mother’s possession, requiring a Nepalese exorcist’s intervention. Even after returning to Korea, the haunting whistling persisted, suggesting the ghost followed them across borders.
Story 2: I’m Going to Meet a Friend
Ah Young shares a chilling tale from 21-year-old Da Young in Gyeonggi-do, Korea. Mysterious calls from a psychiatric hospital’s payphone unravel a family tragedy involving a cursed mirror. Da Young’s eldest sister, Yoo Jung, changed drastically after receiving a vintage hand mirror from her half-sister, Eun Ju. The mirror revealed a woman in a red dress, leading Yoo Jung to mimic her ghostly actions, ultimately landing her in a psychiatric ward.
The twist? Eun Ju, driven by jealousy in their blended family, intentionally gave Yoo Jung the cursed mirror to drive her away. The story ends on an unsettling note, with Eun Ju gifting Da Young a vintage wristwatch, hinting at a new cycle of horror.
Story 3: Jikobukken in Japan
Kim Joo Ryoung delivers the episode’s winning story, narrated by Kang Eun Seo, a former exchange student in Fukuoka, Japan. Eun Seo and her friends stumbled upon a Jikobukken (stigmatized property) website, revealing their neighborhood’s dark history. Curiosity led them to a deserted parking lot marked as a Jikobukken, where they encountered a burnt-black woman snapping her fingers.
Their friend Hee Yeon became possessed, mimicking the ghost’s actions and later disappearing to the same parking lot with a lighter. The story reveals a tragic double self-immolation at the site, with the ghost seemingly luring Hee Yeon to share her fate. The episode ends with an eerie update: a new Jikobukken listing for a woman’s self-immolation at the same location.
Kim Joo Ryoung’s Quest for All Candles
Kim Joo Ryoung, known for her gripping performances, aimed to secure all 44 candles from the Dark Spirits, falling just short with 43 candles for her Jikobukken story. Her return was a highlight, blending charisma and storytelling prowess, earning her the top spot and a prize of $874.44.
