Why did you create this project?

We are familiar with Western vampires and demons,

but we actually know little about the ghosts that have been passed down in our land for hundreds of years.

『Ghosts, Those Who Walk the Night』 is not just a simple collection of ghost stories, but a project designed to record and preserve Korean folk beliefs and legends with a modern sensibility.
