Inside abandoned ‘UFO Village’ left to rot after eerie conspiracies it was heavily haunted

Inexplicable things have happened there

Warning: This article mentions topics of suicide.

Abandoned places can be pretty spooky, but an abandoned UFO village? That’s something else entirely.

Well, one does in fact exist in Taiwan.

On the north coast near Taipei, there's an otherworldly place known unofficially as Wanli UFO Village, or Futuro.

Filled with overgrown trees and plants trying to reclaim old, dilapidated buildings, and colours of decay, this place is one of nightmares.

YouTuber Eileen Aldis took her viewers on a tour around the village after hearing so many stories about it.

From afar, the Futuro Pods and Venturo Houses can be spotted, designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The Futuro Pods look like flying saucers with their small oval windows, adding to the eerie UFO theme, while the Venturo Houses are small modular homes but more spooky with their apparent decay.

'I'm kinda speechless, to be honest,' Eileen said approaching the place. 'Because it really is totally untouched-looking and I'm not seeing anyone else around.'

She also mentioned that it might be one of the most haunted places in all of Taiwan.

She took a peek inside one of the houses, showing the airplane-style door, ripped curtains, cracked walls, and debris everywhere. It looks like a place of true horror.

The YouTuber shared that the village was originally planned as a holiday resort by the water.

'Construction started in 1978 and during the two years that it was being built [...] a lot of weird things were happening,' Eileen explained.

'There were these inexplicable car accidents, and there was at least one suicide that occurred from I believe the construction workers who were spending a lot of time on this land.'

But the construction was never finished.

'And then one day, people just left,' she added.

In 1980, the place became a ghost town.

There was no reason as to why the people left and it's been left rotting away ever since since.

Adding to the mystery, the village was reportedly a burial ground for 70,000 Dutch soldiers when Taiwan was a Dutch colony.

There was also a ceremonial Chinese dragon near the entrance, which was removed for construction which supposedly brought bad luck to the workers there.

The place now remains a unique site for those interested in exploring abandoned places and want to check out the place in its beauty for themselves.
