On one side lies the darkest desires of humanity.

On the other side are actual historical records.

 

Madness and desire that became the prototype of Japanese horror literature.

And grudges and taboos recorded in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty.


The things we still fear today

have existed for much longer than we think.

Vengeful Spirits and Taboos: The Origins of Korean Horror

Where did the Korean-style horror we are so passionate about begin?

Joseon Ghost Story Chronicles uncovers bizarre incidents recorded in chronicles and historical texts to reveal the archetype of Korean horror.


Because these are stories that were actually recorded,

they are even more terrifying.



Goblins wandering the royal palace.

An incident where human liver and gallbladder were used as medicine.

A mysterious light crossing the sky.

A half-human, half-beast monster.

Countless rumors surrounding ghosts and spirits.

 

We remember Joseon as a land of etiquette and order.

However, the nights of Joseon in the records wore a completely different face.
