Cursed Citie

Dive into the shadowy heart of Chinese occult traditions with East Asian Occult Files: Censored Tales of Witchcraft, Rebirth and Forbidden Rituals. This chilling anthology compiles 18 alleged true accounts scrubbed from China's deepest web forums, blending ancient folk magic with viral internet mysteries.
From the corpse drivers of Xiangxi manipulating the dead through secret Jiangshi rituals, to the hypnotist who unlocked a woman’s memories of being a Qing Dynasty snake charmer, these stories walk the razor’s edge between folklore and forbidden reality. Witness the “Butterfly Girl” who vanished in Chengdu after communing with mountain gods, and the funeral master who used green bamboo poles to trap restless spirits at Yansuo Funeral Home.
Each chapter reveals uncensored details of:
Blood pacts with underworld mediums in Ailao Mountain’s death curse
Folk witchcraft battles using the mysterious Lower Luban techniques
Reincarnation proofs through hypnotic past-life regressions
Government-censored cases like the Hua Jiao Fish omen preceding China’s deadliest traffic disaster
Perfect for readers of Asian true horror and paranormal investigation genres, this book merges The X-Files intrigue with Stories from the Chinese Countryside. Discover why 63% of these tales were deleted from Chinese social media—and why they keep resurfacing in the West’s darkest corners of the web.
