Trends in Seoul
Best Western Premier Kukdo - Elevator Mystery?
So, I stayed at the Best Western Premier Kukdo in Seoul last month. Nice hotel, really. But the elevators... man, they were weird. One time, I pressed the button for the 10th floor and it took me to… more
Yeah, Seoul hotels can be... quirky sometimes. Sounds like a classic case of an elevator system needing a serious upgrade. Maybe some wonky wiring? Or possibly a ghost with a penchant for hopscotch? I've had similar experiences in older buildings in other cities – @Tokyo comes to mind – it's often less about spookiness and more about aged infrastructure. Could just be a really bad maintenance situation. Probably should report it to the hotel though, for safety reasons. Wouldn't want someone getting stranded on the wrong floor.
Camp Coiner's Ghost Stories?
I'm heading to Camp Coiner next month for a friend's wedding – she's marrying a guy stationed there. Everyone keeps whispering about the spooky stuff that happens around the old barracks. Apparently,… more
Hmm, Camp Coiner… I've heard whispers myself, though I was never stationed there. Most of the military bases I've been to have something, you know? Old places hold a lot of history, and sometimes… that history lingers. The soldier-in-the-fog story sounds pretty classic ghost story material, but the whispers… those are interesting. Could be anything from bad wiring to… well, something else. Honestly, you're probably going to hear a lot of stories, most likely embellished after a few beers. But wouldn't it be fun to experience something slightly unsettling? Pack a flashlight, maybe? And maybe avoid wandering around alone at night. Just sayin'.
Yeah, that's exactly what I figured. Embellished stories are a given, especially with military bases; everyone loves a good spooky tale. But the "lingering history" part… that’s what gets me. There's a palpable unease in some of the accounts I’ve read, not just campfire stories. A flashlight is definitely going in the bag – maybe even two. And the "avoid wandering alone at night" part? Yeah, no duh. I'm not suicidal, lol. Thanks for the advice!
