Korean Listening Korean Ghost Stories The Whispering Shadows

Hey, wanna hear a scary ghost story that happened right here in this neighborhood? Of course, it won't be that scary. Well, I get scared easily... Don't worry. Mike, come on, tell us about it. It was very late at night. Outside was pitch black, except for one suitcase. I was sitting at home while reading a book about forgetting. That book was about scary places in Korea. I was reading about an old, eerie house in a village called Jiwu. He liked scary things, so he was very curious about this place. I've heard many stories about the house of the ghost who erases. But it was never as scary as I had expected. That house is quite mysterious. I want to verify whether this story is true. That house was very old. No one had lived there for over a hundred years. People said the house was cursed and haunted by ghosts. I决心要弄清楚那栋房子黑暗的过去。 Is this house really haunted? Let's take a look. I was exploring the attic room. I found an old diary on the worn-out desk. What's this? It's a diary from the past. Read it, Jiwoo. Try to find the darkness within it. Jiwoo, who's there? Is there someone else in this attic? The diary contained the story of Ha-neul, the previous owner of this house. Heaven was obsessed with immortality; thus, heaven went mad. The price of immortality is harsh. The more I read about the sky's diary, the more anxious I became. Something feels wrong. Jiwo kept exploring and eventually discovered a secret room located underground. There were a mysterious foundation and strange objects there. The eerie atmosphere of the room made Yuu tense. A hidden room? What's here? You shouldn't be here. A chilling whisper filled the room. I was afraid to erase it, but curiosity kept me from leaving the room. Where is this? It's very intriguing. I can feel a curse. The curse has now become a part of your destiny, Jiwoo. The ghosts at home began to appear before Juwi. The ghosts surrounded Jiwu. The ghosts looked miserable. The air was cold, and I wanted to wipe away my breath. I can feel something. Ghosts—they're calling me. I've been waiting. Welcome to the house. What are you going to do now? Why are you here? Can you get me out of here? Do you know why I'm here? What can I do? Let me out of here. Stop it. The ghosts scattered from Ji-woo. Some ghosts stayed beside Jiu. They began pushing Jiwo in an unknown direction. Follow me this year. Come this way. I couldn't understand this situation. Where are you taking me? Where are we going? The ghosts kept urging Jiwool forward. The spirit of the sky appeared before Jiwoo. Jiwoo's body was frozen. I couldn't move at all. Jiwoo, I can give you immortality. Immortality? Tell me more. I've become curious about it. After reading the sky's diary, I began to think like the sky. It will come at a tremendous cost. I couldn't think straight because of the terrifying presence of the ghost that erases memories. I have to make a choice—what's the price I have to pay? Yes, your soul. Why do you want my soul? If I take your soul, I will become immortal once again. Then what about me? How can I become immortal? You must read the Immortal Scroll at the Foundation. What are you going to do? The ghosts began to surround Ji-woo again. The air was cold and growing weaker. Just say it's me. Easy. Just say it's me. Let's be friends. I like you. I said it was me too. It's not that difficult. I've realized something. I thought to myself. Ah, I see now. If I say I'm me, I'll become like you. I've made up my mind to erase it. I had to get out of this situation as quickly as possible. He shouted. Fine. I've decided. Now disappear. The ghosts have scattered again. Ji-woon woke up and spoke to the sky. The sky looked curious. So, what do you want to do? You're going to say it yourself? I need some time to think. Before performing that ritual I want to take your diary from the attic. I want to learn more about immortality. Alright. But I don't have much time. Hurry up. I returned to the attic where I erased. Ji-woo quickly flipped through the diary. I was flipping through my diary looking for something. Something must be here that can break the curse. It should be somewhere around here. I quickly turned the pages of the erasing diary. At last, he found what he had been looking for. There! He actually wrote the way to break the curse in his own diary. The ghosts were watching him closely. I pretended to be calm while erasing. He went back to the secret room, holding the book. I sat in front of the window to erase and began the ritual to break the curse. You have chosen immortality. We'll see about that. I began reciting the incantation to break the curse that had possessed the place to be erased. What are you doing? How did you know how to break the curse? You'll never know, sky. The curse has finally been lifted, and the ghosts have found peace. It's over. The curse has been lifted. We will never leave you. Ji-woon hurriedly left the house. He will never forget this experience. Some secrets must remain buried forever. We will always be a part of you.
