The Bridge Curse (女鬼橋)

It feels so spooky here at night.

I feel rather uncomfortable.

Whose idea was it to hold the courage test here?

What if ghosts appear?

Isn't it too late to say that?

"Don't turn your head on the stairs." It's meant to scare the juniors.

-You believe it? -It seems real!

-How did the girl die? -She was killed.

-Bullshit. -Hush! It's starting.

Attention please, juniors.

This year, the courage test will be held at Tung Hu's forbidden spot,

the Female Ghost Bridge.

You guys will be starting from here.

When you hear the bell,

take off the red cloth

and circle around the lake.

Go.

Please do remember.

No matter what happens,

never turn your head on the stairs.

-One, two. -What is he doing?

-Why is he counting? -Three.

-We agreed not to count. -Four, five.

-Let him count. -Six.

-It's more exciting. -Seven, eight.

-No, we can't do that. -Nine.

-Wen-yao, stop counting! -Wen-yao!

-Ten, eleven, twelve. -Wen-yao!

Thirteen.

-Wen-yao! -Fourteen.

Where has he gone to?

Wait.

Did we just turn around on the steps?

-No. -Did we?

What was that?

FEBRUARY 28, 2020

Test the sound.

One, two, three, four.

SUPERNATURAL STORIES IN CAMPUS

Numerous supernatural stories have been circulating

among students in many campuses.

The haunted elevator at CCU.

The Moon Lake at Taiwan University.

The Lixing campus at Cheng Kung University.

And Tung Hu University that was founded 62 years ago

is a hotbed for supernatural stories.

The best-known forbidden spot

is the Female Ghost Bridge.

It was built for the convenience of the students.

It didn't have a name back then.

Later, rumor has it

that a girl was dumped by her boyfriend.

She waited for him until 12 a.m.

until she couldn't take it and jumped into the lake.

Since then, an extra step would suddenly appear

on the stairs

at midnight.

Today is February 28, 2020.

It's a very special year.

A leap year.

Four years ago, today,

a clip of a courage test was posted online.

A white shadow appeared in the end.

Let's find out if it is the legendary…

ghost.

The scariest thing is that all five students in the clip had died.

Their bodies were found scattered around campus.

It should've been a case that shocked the entire country,

but no one followed up on it.

RISKING LIFE FOR COURAGE TEST

Did the police cover it up due to the pressure from the university?

Or did the ghost drive them to commit suicide?

Let me find out the truth.

They say, an extra step will appear

on the initial 13-step stairs at midnight.

At that moment, never turn your head

because the ghost might be right behind you.

Today is February 28, the date it happened.

Let's check how many steps are there during the day.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

eleven, twelve, thirteen--

I'm sorry. One more take.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

You were a news anchor.

Why did they send you to do this?

Don't rub salt in my wound.

No one watches the morning news anyway.

At least, these are real.

Things that really happened.

So, you think the story is true?

The ghost killed people?

There is always some truth in a story.

Never believe what you see on the surface.

I'll definitely get something.

Don't worry. I'll get my old job back.

The price you pay for surviving is so high.

Here.

Ready?

Wait.

Let's start when you're ready. Five, four, three, two…

Let's see how Sung and Yu-ching

get on with the props.

Hey, can't you borrow a normal classroom?

I only have keys to the ones in my department.

So many eyes are staring at you!

You feel comfortable?

Actually, I enjoy the attention I get like this.

Okay, let's see the result of our hard work! Come!

Goodness.

Could that be a supernatural phenomenon?

Supernatural your ass!

It means you have to do it again!

I'm off to film the others. You guys keep flirting with each other.

-You haven't interviewed me! -No one wants to interview you!

Or you can interview her!

-Come interview me. -No!

-So annoying! -Stop messing around!

I forgot to start streaming.

TUNG HU NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, LIVE START

Hello, juniors.

I'm Hsin-chiao, a postgraduate in the student union.

The test will be held tomorrow.

Let's see what the captain and the duty officer are doing.

Let's go!

Shall we change the place?

It's too dangerous to do it on the bridge.

Why didn't you say it earlier?

Well, we can still change it.

Of course not.

You know very few people have signed up for ours.

But so many people joined the courage test held at CCU.

They did it before us.

We must get more people!

Are you stupid or something?

Safety comes first!

You said nothing back then. Everything is ready.

Are all law students as stupid as you?

Me?

Te-chuan, look at her!

So mean!

This is the captain, Meng Po-ju.

We call her "San-nu."

What is this?

Chi Te-chuan, you're so out of the loop!

I'm doing livestreaming.

So what should I say?

-Don't bully him. -Then say something on his behalf.

I'll do it.

Te-chuan, a third-year student in Mass Communication,

the duty officer this year.

His favorite pastime is scaring girls!

That's why the courage test is being held on that bridge.

I didn't choose the place. I don't know anything.

So who chose the place?

Well, it's you.

-No, I remember it was-- - Let's not discuss this.

Let's check if everything is ready for tonight. Let's go!

Well, I'm really curious about who chose the place.

-You're so annoying. -It's really haunted.

-So scary! -It's not scary.

-You're the scary one. The scariest. -I'm scary?

You'd better…

Wait.

What?

Please stop filming.

TUNG HU NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, LIVE END

Do you have to be like this?

Can't we talk nicely?

I've said everything I needed to say.

Just look after yourself.

You still won't come back to me?

I'm giving you one more chance.

Please stop making a scene, okay?

What are you guys doing?

Nothing. It's all set.

-Te-chuan, it's dark here! -Okay.

Go to hell then.

We agreed not to show my face.

Stop filming.

Don't make me lose my job for so little money.

I'm sorry. We have stopped filming.

You are so annoying. Are you sure I won't be seen?

I promise.

You can talk now.

A group of students met with an accident.

They committed suicide in strange places.

All in different places?

That's what they told the public.

The creepiest thing is

they all drowned.

The bridge and the dorm

were cordoned off years ago.

But those bloody kids just wouldn't listen.

What do you think?

Scary, right? Come here.

Put this on and hide behind the tree.

When you hear my cue, you dart out.

Why don't you put it on and wait for my cue?
