Qiu Mansion, Shanghai, China |
In the heart of Shanghai, the Qiu brothers, who had made their fortunes in the paint trade, built mansions adjacent to one another. Like a many a wealthy eccentric, they collected exotic pets, such a Burmese tigers, peacocks and crocodiles, which they housed in the grounds of the mansions. Of course, this only added to their mystique - at the height of which they both disappeared, never to be seen again.
Both mansions and the surrounding gardens, abandoned, became ruined and overgrown - yet workers at the hotel across the street report seeing strange animals prowling around the site, and some have even been hospitalized with bites from invisible jaws.
