Minxiong Ghost House 民雄鬼屋

With Halloween right around the corner, I figured it would be a good time to write about the famous Minxiong Ghost House 民雄鬼屋 !!

Also known as Liu Family Mansion 劉家古宅. This beautiful house is just outside Chaiyi City 嘉義.

Believe it or not, many people think that this place is haunted. Since ghosts aren’t real, I am pretty sure that it isn’t haunted. However, it is still a beautiful house and a cool location to check out.

This beautiful three-story house was built for the Liu family (劉溶裕) in 1929. They lived there for a long time, but as the children got older, they moved to Chaiyi.

The house was then left to nature, and, of course, nature always wins.

This house always gets on the list of the most haunted places in Taiwan. Mostly because of two stories. One involved a maid committing suicide by jumping down the well. The other story was about soldiers who stayed there after the Liu family left.

Both don’t seem to be totally true, but hey, ghosts, and it’s fun to be scared.

It’s pretty easy to get to if you’re near Chaiyi, but you will need a scooter. I do recommend this ghost house as a place to go and check out, but I wouldn’t expect to see ghosts.

We first went in 2016. I finally returned in January 2024 and took a few more pictures and videos.

Inside the house.

Also, very close to the famous Ghost House was another nice old house that, if still there, you can go and check out.

When I returned in 2024, it appeared that this house had been demolished.

If you walk out of the Ghost House forest and into the rice field, you can find the other house.

If you go and see the famous Ghost House, don’t forget to go and find the other beautiful house.

If you want to know how to go to the Minxiong Ghost House 民雄鬼屋, just google it. It’s pretty easy to find, though not in one of Chaiyi’s more picturesque areas. And remember to say Hi!
