This is the said photo of the fox image that appeared on the wall of Windsor House.
This shaking
incident happened in 1981 at HK Haw Par Mansion. At that time there were many murals
outside of the mansion and workers would wipe these murals every morning. On
one night, thunders and lightings besieged the night sky emitting unusual light…
and the next morning, the workers found there were 7 fox heads imprinted on the
wall. So they employed a Taoist to seal the stone wall with yellow papers.
Later similar
fox heads resurfaced on one of the walls of Windsor House. The strange incident
attracted a large crowd which caused the company to close for the day. The
security personnel used a piece of cloth to cover the marble wall; and the
whole piece of the marble was removed at midnight thus ceasing the strange
incident.
During that period, a restraint in Windsor House was the
favourite place for parents to celebrate their babies’ full month celebration.
Sadly, babies who celebrated in that restaurant would die of unnatural causes.
Rumours had it that was the working of fox spirits. Amongst many rumours of
that time, after a couple celebrated their baby’s full month celebration in
that restaurant; a fox spirit with red eyes and sharp fangs appeared in the
mother’s dream. It mentioned that since the couple didn’t pay it a respect, it
would kill their baby instead. When the mother awakened from her dream, she
found her child’s face had turned green and it has stopped breathing. The
couple immediately sent the baby to the hospital but the baby was pronounced
death on arrival. There are rumours said that the baby’s blood was sucked dry…
There are still many stories of such incidents being told until today.
While some rumours also mentioned that the fox spirits were
being sealed within the walls. At that time there was a Taoist subdued and
bounded two of the fiercest fox spirits and released the rest. But when this
story transmitted to Taiwan, the Taiwan people came out with their own version
of fox spirit sequel … According to Taiwanese version, the Hong Kong fox
spirits went to Taiwan to continue their spiritual practices. In Taiwanese
version, a Taiwanese senior Taoist went to Hong Kong to bring the fox spirits
to Yangming Mountain. It was said that up to a decade ago, there were indeed
fox spirits in that mountain. But since the deceased of the senior Taoist, no
one knows where the fox spirits went.
In another fox spirit related incident which also took the
life of an innocent baby. As the story has it that a small fox spirit came to
Hong Kong from the Northeast mountainous region of China. It sneaked into the
children’s department of a supermarket and had fun with kid’s costumes and
shoes. The next day, shop assistants found their merchandise were scattering
all over the shop floor. They thought their shop was haunted so the boss
invited a Taoist to perform exorcism ceremony. Perhaps the small fox spirit was
angered by Taoist’s workings, it killed a baby in rage. Following that, a
master sealed this fox spirit into the supermarket wall. This has caused the
image of a fox to appear on the wall surface. Later a Taiwanese fox spirit that
could transform into human form went to Hong Kong and hide the small fox spirit
into its jade stone ring; and brought the small fox to Taiwan.
Following the spread of rumours in Hong Kong and Taiwan, fox
spirit worships suddenly became prevalent in these two areas… It was said by
worshipping, the worshipper would obtain the charm of the foxes and they would
excel in their business and love affairs. Whatever case that might be, fox
spirits in Hong Kong and Taiwan are no match to the fox spirit from Japan in
beauty and wisdom that I can assure you.
