Summary / Recap
This video is a compilation of subscriber-submitted Korean ghost stories, framed as a mix of “what felt like a nightmare” and “what may have been something worse than ghosts”—including two standout narratives.
1) The nightmare that became reality (Kim Su-a)
- The narrator begins by explaining that their mother often claimed to have seen ghosts, but the narrator didn’t believe her and usually dismissed it as her being unwell.
- One summer night, their mother falls asleep on the sofa and ends up facing toward the inner door.
- In a terrifying sequence, the inner door slides open, and a black, shadow-like figure seems to “slither” in—more follow endlessly.
- While her mother experiences sleep paralysis (unable to move), she can only watch as dark figures fill the house.
- In the morning, she wakes up thinking it was just paralysis—until her father notices something alarming:
- He asks why the front door was left open, even though the inner door was closed.
- The family installs a door sensor/security app afterward.
- Later, the mother falls asleep again and hears a sound—then the sensor triggers:
- She assumes it might be the family cat, but the sensor keeps staying active far too long.
- She looks up and sees a face-to-face moment: the cat is there, yet the circumstances don’t match what should have happened.
- The family wakes to an alarm and discovers:
- The inner front door is open, while the outer front door is firmly closed.
- The security app indicates the door was opened, yet no outside entry is recorded.
- The only logged action is that the door opened from the inside, and someone went out.
- The narrator speculates whether it connects to the earlier nightmare—suggesting it may not be a regular ghost, but something that could operate with intent.
Highlight: Security logs + sensor evidence turning a “nightmare” into something that looks disturbingly real.
2) The “time travel” jujube orchard incident (Kim Ji-eun)
- In 2007, a young man (post-military, working part-time) begins a job mapping areas using aerial photos and marking whether places are residential or chicken restaurants.
- He’s assigned a region near a transmission tower, with permission to enter private areas.
- While drawing the map, he suddenly realizes there are no people anywhere—not even shadows—despite the area being visibly affected/devastated in summer.
- When he tries to leave, he follows what seems like a jujube-orchard path, but:
- His phone shows “out of coverage.”
- The path feels endless, as though the trees keep repeating.
- He eventually reaches the other side, but it’s wrong:
- Instead of the road he expected, he appears on an unfamiliar country road not shown on his map.
- Nearby buildings—like a training center and village facilities—are in complete ruin, wrecked like the result of a disaster.
- There are no people, no signs of life, and the damage looks far too extreme to be normal decay.
- An old man (wearing a modernized hanbok, which makes the narrator feel even more out of place) calls him back:
- He asks how the narrator ended up there.
- The old man points toward the direction the narrator came from and tells him to go straight back—emphasizing “time”, not just place.
- The narrator runs immediately, terrified by the wording and the urgency implied.
- When he reaches the road, he breaks down crying and tries to contact others.
- Everyone around him dismisses him as:
- joking, or
- having eaten something weird and should stop talking nonsense.
- The narrator insists it really happened, ending with the idea that the incident may relate to distorted time/space caused by transmission-tower electricity—a hypothesis rejected by mainstream science.
Highlight: The chilling moment where everything is ruined, there are no people, and an old man warns him to return to the time he came from.
Closing note (video framing)
- The uploader connects both stories to the idea that electric currents might distort time/space, speculating about anomalies related to transmission towers.
- The video ends by thanking participants and reminding viewers to check the community post for winners.
Notable Jokes / Reactions
- The stories are presented seriously (no major comedy beats), but there’s a recurring “break the disbelief” reaction:
- In the Kim Su-a story, the father initially dismisses the event as sleep paralysis / malfunction—until the app data contradicts it.
- In the orchard/time-slip story, peers dismiss it as someone talking nonsense after eating something, despite the narrator insisting it’s undeniable.
Personalities Appearing (as inferred)
- The narrator (voiceover) in both stories
- Mother (Kim Su-a story)
- Father (Kim Su-a story)
- Older brother (Kim Ji-eun story)
- Old man / grandfather (time-displacement story)
- Cat (minor but pivotal in the sensor incident)
