The Midnight Bus to Fragrant Hills: An Unsolved Horror

The Chilling Mystery of China’s Ghostly Bus 375  

Prologue  

Imagine it’s 2 AM. You’re standing alone on a fog-shrouded road near a cremation ground. No vehicles, no people—just silence. Suddenly, a bus emerges from the mist. You *have* to board it—it’s your last ride home. But this is no ordinary bus. Its destination isn’t your home. It’s a one-way journey to a place where reality bends, and survival is a gamble.  

This is the true story of Bus 375—a tale so terrifying, so unresolved, that even decades later, it haunts those who dare to uncover its secrets.  

Chapter 1: The Route of No Return  

In 1995, Bus 375 operated between Yuanmingyuan and Fragrant Hills in Beijing—a short 16-kilometer route. By day, it ferried commuters. By night, it served late-shift workers. But on November 14, 1995, it became a vehicle of horror.  

At 2 AM, the bus picked up its final passengers:  

1. A young couple (seated behind the driver).  

2. An elderly woman (across from a 20-year-old man).  

3. The driver and conductor (the only staff).  

The fog was suffocating. Visibility near-zero. The driver suggested detouring, but the couple insisted: “Just take the usual route. We’re almost home.”  

Chapter 2: The Phantom Passengers  

As the bus crawled through the fog, three figures materialized on the road. They wore tattered, ancient robes. The middle figure leaned heavily on the others, his face obscured by matted hair. The elderly woman froze. *Something was wrong.  

- Their feet didn’t touch the ground.  

- The middle figure had no face—only a void beneath his hair.  

The conductor dismissed them as theater performers. But when a gust of wind blew the hair aside, the old woman saw the truth: *They weren’t human.  

Chapter 3: The Escape  

Panicking, the woman staged a theft—accusing the young man of stealing her purse. The driver ejected both at the next stop, near a police station.  

Her warning to the young man:  

“Those three… they had no faces. No feet. They’re ghosts. We’d have died if we stayed.”

The pair reported the bus to the police, but officers dismissed their claims… until the next day.  

Chapter 4: The Vanishing 

On November 15, Bus 375 vanished. CCTV footage showed it stopping to drop off the woman and man—then disappearing. No cameras captured it again.  

48 hours later , the bus was found:  

- Submerged in a river 100 km off-route.  

- Three decomposed bodies inside:  

  1. The driver.  

  2. The conductor.  

  3. The faceless man in ancient robes.  

Impossible details:  

- Bodies decayed as if dead for *months*, not days.  

- The fuel tank held blood, not gasoline.  

Chapter 5: The Unanswered Questions 

1. How did the bus travel 100 km without fuel? 

2. Why were the corpses so decomposed?  

3. Who or what were the phantom passengers?  

Locals whisper that Bus 375 still roams nightly, hunting new victims. Those who board it never return.  

Epilogue: A Warning  

If you ever find yourself on a lonely road at midnight, remember:  

- Stick to familiar routes. 

- Trust your instincts.  

For you might glimpse Bus 375 in the fog—its headlights piercing the darkness, its doors open, inviting you to a journey with no return.
