The Iron stake horror ghost story is a Korean urban legend, in which foreign influences are trying to destroy the Feng Shui by piling iron stakes into the soil. This ghost story is based on a superstitious concept in Feng Shui, which involves the energy of the land. The records date back to the Joseon Dynasty, however, the stories are usually related to what happened during the Japanese colonial period.

Reference of Joseon Dynasty's Iron Stake[edit]

In 1797 (Jeongjo's 21st year), on the lunar 24th of June, King Jeongjo called up the Uijeongbu (State Council) Lee Byung-mo and said, “The reason why there are no talented people in our country is because during the early Ming Dynasty, the Taoist monk Seo Ho (徐師昊) erected five iron stakes on Mountain Hyeondeok in Dancheon and left, claiming that they had the strength of the emperor. It's said that decades ago, a salt mountain (Yeomsan) was piled up with salt under the Bukhansanseong Fortress(Bukhan Mountain), blocking the veins of Bukhan Mountain. It is said that the lack of talented people in Seoul is due to such an act. Consequently, Jo Sim-tae and others were called out and got asked where the Yeomsan was, however, no one knew where it was, leaving the whole thing a mist.

Governor-General of Chōsen Feng Shui Attack Theory[edit]

It is widely disseminated and believed in Korea that the Japanese Government-General of Korea took the initiative to install iron stakes in various parts of the Korean Peninsula to cut off the 'vein' of the Korean Peninsula.<ref> Monthly Publication Horse, December 2005 issue (Volume 235),
