This story is really spine-chilling too. A friend who lived in Chungju once told me this kind of story. He was taking a night walk along the Dallae River when suddenly a young woman in white hanbok asked him for directions. No matter how you think about it, it's strange, right? Who would be by the riverside late at night wearing hanbok? So he approached to get a closer look, and it turned out to be the vengeful spirit of a woman who died waiting for her beloved at that very spot hundreds of years ago.
Appears as a young woman wearing white hanbok with her hair covering her face. She has a faint smile but her eyes are not visible, creating an eerie feeling.
Mainly appears after 10 PM by the Dallae River, asking lone walkers for directions or help. If you try to have a conversation, she suddenly disappears. She's frequently spotted around the Tangeumgdae area.
