Book Introduction
Someone who lived on this land
A strange, bizarre, and funny story


In the summer, a representative program that cools down the heat is 'Hometown of Legends'.
It's over now and my memory is hazy, but at one time it chilled people's hearts and made the summer heat seem insignificant.
Ghost stories are representative stories that always arouse interest regardless of the era.
Although they are described as ghost stories, most of them are old records passed down by word of mouth and are reprocessed into legends, myths, and unofficial history, providing vivid entertainment and lessons.
To that extent, ghost stories are a reflection of the times, reflecting our lives and being closely connected to life. They can be a social phenomenon that contains the 'joys and sorrows' of the times, as well as the hardships of the people who lived through those times.


[Maybe the Ghost Story You Wanted] is a collection of ghost stories from the YouTube channel 'Ghost Story' and a modern version of [Cheonggu Yadam].
This book is a compilation of ghost stories, anecdotes, and legends found in old records and unofficial histories from the Joseon and Goryeo dynasties, adapted into a 'Ghost Story Version'.
It covers everything from bizarre stories of historical figures we know to unbelievably scary and mysterious monsters, ghosts, and fate.
This book also contains the stories of losers who were not remembered in history, those who were pushed out of the power struggle, and the most ordinary people who were just living their lives, all with 'fun'.
[Maybe the Ghost Story You Wanted] will allow us, who are accustomed to videos, to feel the fun and charm of stories conveyed through text.

Publisher's Review
The YouTube channel 'Ghost Story' tells
Strange and scary Joseon Dynasty tales


History as we know it is written by the victors.
So, the historical figures we talk about as 'Jeongsa' are always great, extraordinary, and wonderful.
However, people are more enthusiastic about true stories that reflect our lives, even if they are absurd and bizarre, like 'unofficial history' or 'legends', than about 'official history'.
Stories about the weak sides of kings and great men in history, monsters that eat people, and ghosts that wander the world seeking revenge are stories that seem real but are never real.


Kim Ja-jeom, who became a traitor despite having obtained the best site in the world
Why Shinrip, on a winning streak, lost at a crucial moment
The man who got caught up in a dragon fight and disappeared with the dragon
The stink bug that kills people with its stench and the poisonous ogre that spreads the plague

An absurd and bizarre story that the official history could not contain,
A cruel story, but that makes it more real and relatable to the world.
A story that someone made up simply for fun,
The strange stories of the world that still make you interested and think
It was recorded in the ‘Ghost Story Version’.


[Maybe the Ghost Story You Wanted] is a modern adaptation of the unofficial history, legends, ghost stories and anecdotes covered on the YouTube channel 'Ghost Story', without spoiling the main plot of the original work, but still maintaining the interest and fun.
Not only that, but just as the same story shows differences depending on the time period and region, it was composed to be read smoothly by incorporating the unique interpretation of 'Ghost Story'.
This book not only contains the content introduced on the YouTube channel, but also contains behind-the-scenes stories and stories that have not yet been introduced, compiled in a 'ghost story version' so that anyone can enjoy reading it and fall in love with the charm of strange and bizarre ghost stories.
