In recent years, more and more people have participated in the shooting of the ruins. One of them, a ruin expedition team composed of young people from home and abroad, has broken into the air raid shelter during the Japanese occupation, the murder unit covered in blood, and the ghost theater that has been abandoned for many years.

Preserving Hong Kong's History Ghost Festival Adventures Are Not Taboo by Recording
"Never take anything away from the scene, because it shows you are disrespectful and may be haunted. Safety is the most important thing." Echo, founder of Urban Exploration Team, started 9 years ago in order to let the public or foreigners understand the history of Hong Kong Form a team of six to record old buildings or historical sites in Hong Kong through videography, make them disappear from the public eye, and describe their original state.
Echo said that before each expedition, everyone will do their homework, such as the history of the building, news about it in the past, and deeds, which will help you to shoot at the best angle after entering.
Some people think that "foreigners don't believe in evil and are not afraid of ghosts." Echo, who grew up in a foreign country and lived in Hong Kong for 30 years, said with a smile that he knew about the existence of traditional festivals such as the Yu Lan Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the team never "doesn't explore on ghost festivals". Instead, they pay more attention to whether the place involved is suitable for exploration and whether it has record value, rather than whether the place is haunted.
"The team has entered the Star Street bomb shelter twice. It is said that during the Japanese occupation there, the Japanese army used to interrogate and execute citizens in the cave. However, after entering, in addition to feeling the darkness, they were amazed at the large number of cultural relics preserved in it. British colonial toilets in the 1940s, old excavation tools, etc... The so-called haunted place is that after something happens to the building, the "spirit" stays in the place and lingers, but sometimes the fear just exists in your mind , so be strong mentally and don’t let your thoughts and feelings dominate you.”

"Ghost Theater" spotlights flicker for no reason
Many years of brave experience in different places, and many unexplainable things happened in the middle. For example, the team entered the Jinmaoping Theater, which has been abandoned for nearly 30 years. Rumors about it being haunted were endless, and people were faintly seen in the abandoned Jinmaoping Theater. There were lights, there was laughter, and some people said with certainty that they had seen a pair of men and women with dull eyes, and their expressions seemed to want to escape from the theater. The fire-fighting spotlight near the corridor was on for no reason, and it kept flashing in an unreasonable way, as if to "warn" the team not to enter. The members burned incense in the theater to keep their peace, and continued to complete the filming work inside.
Another impressive location for the team is the Hoi Hing Building, Tai Kok Tsui, where the murder of Zhou Kailiang's parents occurred. It can still be seen that the deceased parents are proud of their son's numerous awards posted on the wall, which is in sharp contrast to the dried blood in the toilet. No one would have thought that the son would repay his kindness by killing his parents. For the team, there is only sadness and sadness. The feeling of darkness, without any fear in the middle.
Since he is not afraid, there is no panic in his heart. Echo has seen other expeditions behave inappropriately over the years, including moving objects in the house without authorization, and even taking them away as souvenirs. Don't take selfies, don't take anything away", which not only shows respect for history, but also tries to preserve the prototype of the place involved so as not to be "contaminated" by intruders.
“We think the place, the history and the site itself are the most important, just record this place, you can take pictures with your phone, but don’t take selfies in these places. It should be strongly respected, so do your homework beforehand and know the history of the place involved ."
