Taiwainese College: “Ghost on Campus”

2009 June 5

Some of my dear friends, a married couple, have the good fortune of pursuing their degrees in Taiwan.  They run a blog, “Tiawaneers,” to catalogue their various experiences as Americans in the Orient.  (I can say “orient” because I’m “oriental.” But you can’t, because you’re not oriental, and that would not be politically correct. My nigga.)

So I saw this recent post on their blog, and I couldn’t help but share:

Ghost of the Bell Tower

A girl is said to have died here, falling from the high tower where she was ringing the school bell. Earlier this semester a few guys were hanging out here at night, and claimed to have seen her ghost. Upon hearing this and calling a school meeting, the board restricted access to the tower after dark, warning that her ghost might still be around.

Can you imagine that same scenario playing out in the States?

How hilarious is that!

    That’s interesting. Perfect illustration of much greater disenchantment in the (developed) West than the (developed) East.
