Something was lying under the Taehwa River railroad bridge. Every night. It never moved.

I wasn't going to post this but it's been living in my head for three years so here we go.

Summer 2022. I was in Ulsan for a friend's wedding, staying near the Taehwa River. Nice area, walkable, old iron railroad bridge cutting across the water. Scenic, whatever.

So I'm out walking at dusk and this older woman is standing near the bridge muttering to herself. I almost walked past her but then I heard it.

"Again... that person again."

I turned to look.

Under the bridge. On the concrete. A person in all black, lying flat on their back. Arms pinned to their sides. Legs perfectly straight. Like a body laid out at a funeral. Completely still.

I asked her, "why are they doing that?"

She just shrugged. "I don't know. They're just there and then they're not. Every night when it gets dark, they show up."

I went back to my room feeling deeply unsettled. Couldn't stop thinking about it. Around 11pm I looked out my window toward the bridge.

They were still there.

Didn't move. Didn't get up. Just. Lying there.

Next morning I went to check it out myself because apparently I have no self-preservation instincts. In the daytime there was nobody. But the concrete had this faint impression, like something had been pressed into it repeatedly. And there were burn marks. Black, circular, spreading outward.

A few days later I found a post on a local community forum.

"Saw something weird under the Taehwa River bridge. Tried to take a photo but my phone died. That person's eyes... they weren't closed. They were black. Half open."

And then one reply that I genuinely cannot stop thinking about.

"I saw them too. But... they didn't have legs."

Apparently some of the train operators who run over that bridge still file reports to this day.

"There's a person lying under the bridge."

And every time someone goes to check.

Nothing there.
