Rising like an imposing, Z-shaped architectural monolith near the White Pagoda Temple, the Fusuijing Building is known to regional investigators as “Ghost Building 8” due to a violent history sealed within its top level. Constructed in 1958 during the Great Leap Forward, this eight-story complex was meant to be a utopian “People’s Commune,” built with premium leftover materials from the Great Hall of the People. However, during the Cultural Revolution, the building’s layout was exploited, and the entire 8th floor was converted into a hidden detention and interrogation facility where political dissidents were systematically imprisoned, tortured, and silenced.

The lingering, aggressive energy is concentrated on this top floor, decades after the families were evacuated due to safety hazards, urban explorers and overnight investigators who sneak past the security barriers to reach the 8th floor document extreme, localized anomalies. Visitors consistently report hearing disembodied pacing, muffled crying echoing from the windowless central corridors, and sudden, severe drops in temperature that leave frost on camera lenses. The most chilling accounts describe an overwhelming, hypnotic sensation of vertigo near the 8th-floor window frames, the exact spots where desperate prisoners historically leaped to their deaths. Modern equipment routinely fails on the top level; high-end thermal imaging cameras suffer total sensor freeze, drone telemetry goes completely haywire, and magnetometers register massive, erratic spikes, signaling that the spirits of the building’s darkest chapter refuse to be forgotten.
