Stacks of rusting, saucer-shaped pods blemish an otherwise pleasant-looking field, in San Zhi, Taiwan.
These pods have been abandoned since their construction in the late ’70s — not because they look like an architect had just discovered ’60s drug culture, but instead because the land is supposedly cursed.
In the 17th century, locals laid siege to the site’s previous occupant, Fort Zeelandia, in an uprising against oppressive Dutch settlers, massacring hundreds of men, women and children.
The area has since seen countless strange accidents, car crashes and deaths. On top of that, construction workers chopped a remaining lucky dragon statue in half right to make way for the resort.
The Taiwanese government to this day refuses to talk about San Zhi.
