The Hello Kitty Murder
Horror Stories - The Hello Kitty Murder
This was one of the creepier ones i found trying desperately to find one. In May 1999, a 13-year-old girl in Hong Kong went to police to complain that a woman her boyfriend helped murder was haunting her. She described to police a 23-year-old woman being tortured mercilessly while she was bound with electrical wire, unable to escape.
After some convincing, police searched a third-floor flat on Granville Road 31, which turned up some chilling evidence - namely, a large Hello Kitty doll stuffed with a woman's head. The victim of this heinous crime was a 23-year-old nightclub hostess named Fan Man-yee, who was abducted after she allegedly failed to repay a HKD20,000 debt. Fan had been missing for roughly a year.
When the story hit the press, it horrified Hong Kong residents and earned the strange (but appropriate) title "The Hello Kitty Murder." In the months following the murder, images of a shadowy female form, lurking near the Granville Road 31 apartment, were captured on various CCTV cameras from nearby buildings. In some cases, the ghostly woman was spotted inside stores on the ground floor of the apartment, long after closing time.
Residents in the apartment also reported unnerving sounds and even unexplainable "ghostly flames," which eventually led to everyone moving out. The building sat virtually empty until it was demolished in 2012. The three men convicted for the murder were sentenced to life in prison for their crimes and won't be eligible for parole until now.
