The Boy In The Wall – An old primary school in northern China hides a terrifying mystery: a missing boy, a sealed wall, and voices that still whisper from within.

In the cold, remote streets of Harbin—a northeastern Chinese city famous for its ice festivals—there’s an urban legend far more chilling than the weather: The Boy in the Wall. A story of punishment, silence, and guilt that, though buried behind bricks, refuses to stay quiet.

This is one of those tales you won’t find in history books but is whispered in dark hallways when the night is thick and the lights begin to flicker. The most disturbing part? It just might be true.

The Experimental Primary School No. 3: Where the Nightmare Began

The Boy in the Wall – In 1988, Experimental Primary School No. 3, located on the outskirts of Harbin, was temporarily shut down for renovations. The building, over 70 years old, showed visible signs of decay—deep cracks, collapsing ceilings, and an overwhelming feeling that something unseen lingered within.

During repairs in the school’s north wing—an area that had been sealed off for years—construction workers began tearing down an old interior wall. What they uncovered stopped them cold.

The Legend of Resurrection Mary

The Boy in the Wall- A Gruesome Discovery

Hidden inside the wall was a small human skeleton. The remains were clearly those of a child. The body wore a tattered school uniform from the 1950s. Next to the skeleton lay a decaying notebook, soaked and fragile, but with one legible name: Liu Wei.

School records showed no student by that name. No missing persons report. No complaints. Liu Wei, it seemed, had never officially existed.

But the elderly residents nearby remembered. They whispered that Liu Wei had been locked in that room as punishment by a strict teacher… and then forgotten. Others suggested it had been intentional. Either way, no one came for him.


The Boy in the Wall – Paranormal Activity: What Happened Next

After the discovery, strange reports began to surface: students claimed they felt “small hands” pushing them in empty hallways, heard giggles or faint sobs behind walls, and saw lights flicker when no one was near.

Even a former student, Lin Mei, who attended the school when she was nine, gave a chilling testimony.

“You felt watched. Not fear—presence. Once I saw a small handprint on the wall, as if someone had pressed it from the inside. When I told my teacher, she didn’t laugh. She just said:
‘Don’t go down that hallway again, Lin Mei. That place… is no longer for the living.’”

The Hallway No One Walks

Today, the school still stands. But the north wing remains sealed. No one teaches there. No one enters. Still, current students say that if you walk quietly past the hallway, you might hear something scratching… as if someone is still trying to get out.

Was it an accident? A deadly punishment? A forgotten soul trapped between bricks and time?

What’s certain is: some legends are made up… and others refuse to die.

Scary Story – Tequendama Falls

The Cry Beneath the Falls The Haunted Horror of Tequendama Falls and Hotel del Salto They say the water never forgets. South of Bogotá, Colombia, hidden in the Andean mist, Tequendama Falls crashes 515 feet into a chasm carved by time. It's breathtaking. It’s sacred. It’s cursed. The locals don’t come here after dark. They say the wind carries screams — not from the rocks, but from the souls who leapt. The ones who never left. And if you dare listen closely...You’ll hear her crying. Night One Elena arrived with a backpack, a DSLR, and an unhealthy obsession with forgotten places. Her hostel room overlooked the crumbling bones of the infamous Hotel del Salto — a colonial-style mansion turned hotel, then museum, now mostly a shell clinging to the edge of the abyss. “People used to jump from the windows,” […]

The Haunted House of 1995 – Best Horror Stories

The Haunted House of 1995  - Where the shadows see you before you can escape When I think of that year, 1995, fear still runs down my spine. I was only nine years old and wasn’t prepared for what was to come. My family, made up of my parents and me, moved to a house on the outskirts of Texas, a house much bigger than we needed. When my father saw it for the first time, his face lit up. "This is it," he said. The price was incredibly low for such a huge house. My parents thought they had found a unique opportunity, but I felt something different, something I couldn't explain in words at my young age. When we arrived at the house, my parents' excitement was palpable. However, I didn't share that emotion. The house was in […]

It was a cloudy and rainy day, one of those where the sky seems endless, and the sound of raindrops hitting the roof becomes a monotonous melody. I was at home, as usual, surrounded by the solitude that enveloped me. My only companion was Elly, my cat, who was always near me as if she understood that her presence was the only thing keeping me balanced. That day, the dull routine of watching TV while eating cold pizza repeated itself, accompanied by a few beers trying to fill the void. The ring of my cellphone broke the lethargy. Seeing that it was my mother on the screen, a mix of joy and surprise washed over me. She, […]
