Introduction
Located in Old Thomson Road, it used to be a grand prix race track
in the 1960s. Devils Bend proved to be a particularly sharp
corner where many drivers met their end. It was believed
that the race track was closed down in the 1970s due to high fatal
accidents there. It is obvious enough to know where the name
Devil's Bend come from. Such a high fatal accident rate has
made this particular traffic black spot a haunted place.
It was said that some souls of the drivers did not realize they
were dead yet. Their souls continue to roam around that
particular sharp corner as if they were still trying their best to
make it, over and over again...

The price of a championship
Give yourself a quiet moment, imagine by looking at the photos,
how was it like if you were racing along the road at 150km/hr?
You don't really feel the speed under your helmet but you see
things are moving fast (very fast!) backward. Your instinct
tells you to steer left or right when you sense a turn ahead.
All parts of your body were busy in coordinating the handling of
the steering wheel, changing gears and pressing on the pedals.
Fully concentrated you are driving, nothing else can bear to fit
into your mind. Suddenly, a very sharp turn appears in front
of you at a blink of eye. At only a split of a second, you
see things rapidly turning upside down, the control on the
steering wheel has gotten out of your hands, then a big bang
followed by a blackout. All these happens almost
simultaneously even before you feel any pain... (!) You have
just imagined the last moments of the life of the car racers who
died at Devil's Bend. Those who won the race got a prize,
and those who didn't may have to pay a price.
Besides the sharp turn is
a small cliff. Many drivers fell into it and died there.

A curse from the dead?
The following three photos were taken on a clear night with no
raining or fog before or after. Suddenly there came a gush
of ghostly orbs sweeping through the road. As in the first
photo, these are not reflection of raindrop or whatever as the
weather condition was fine. It nevertheless shows a large
number of spirit orbs that was very rare. In the second and
third photos, you can notice there is a patch of white substance
on the road under the ghost orbs. We don't know what exactly
that is, but it looks slippery. Wouldn't this contribute to
the subsequent road accidents to be happened there?! There
is a theory briefly says some haunted place will become more
haunted because the restless souls there are looking out to find
substitutes by causing more deaths. It is a multiplying
effect as the spirits work as the factors of fatal accidents.
Never in any photos, so
many orbs are captured
