都市傳說係城市文化嘅一部分，反映市民嘅恐懼、希望同想像。本站記錄呢啲傳說作為文化現象，並明確標示佢哋係民間故事，唔係經核實嘅事實。
高街鬼屋（西營盤）：前身係國家醫院嘅護士宿舍（1892 年建成），日佔時期傳說有處決。現為精神康復設施，係香港最著名嘅「鬼屋」傳說之一。
達德學院（屯門）：1946 年創辦嘅左派院校，1949 年被港府關閉。校舍荒廢後成為都市傳說場景。
地鐵靈異傳說：1970 年代地鐵施工期間嘅工業意外，衍生多個車站嘅靈異傳說，最著名係彩虹站「七彩站」傳說。
新娘潭（大埔）：相傳有新娘花轎翻覆墜潭嘅民間故事，地名由此而來。
太平山街紙紮店：上環太平山街一帶嘅紙紮品店，與喪葬習俗相關，衍生多個都市傳說。
重要聲明：本站記錄都市傳說係為咗保存文化記憶，唔代表本站確認任何超自然現象。所有傳說都標明係「民間故事」，唔會當成事實寫入統計或歷史部分。
民政事務局及康文署轄下的非物質文化遺產辦事處，會把部分民間習俗、節慶、口述故事納入《香港非物質文化遺產代表作名錄》，並保存相關調查報告及口述歷史檔案，呢啲屬官方認可嘅文化紀錄，可結構化引用。其餘未入名錄的社群流傳故事，僅作文化現象標示，不當成歷史事實。
任何都市傳說、靈異故事或未經檔案處或非遺辦事處認可的民間歷史解讀，一概唔會進入歷史時間線、考古或法定古蹟部分，避免文化敘述與官方核實的歷史文本混淆。
仍未收錄的官方硬數據（全部有明確年度）：① 康文署《香港非物質文化遺產代表作名錄》20 項已登記代表作的評定年份、申報社區、對應檔案編號 ② 非物質文化遺產辦事處歷年民間習俗調查報告的調查範圍、受訪社區數、已記錄項目數按年 ③ 政府檔案處口述歷史檔案系列已開放訪談數、受訪者職業分佈、年代分佈 ④ 民政事務局已註冊民俗節日的主辦社區、每年舉辦次數、官方記錄起始年份。刻意留白：未入 ICH 名錄的都市傳說、靈異故事、未經檔案處或 ICHO 認可的民間歷史解讀一律唔引用。

Urban legends are part of a city’s culture, reflecting people’s fears, hopes and imagination. This site records them as cultural phenomena, clearly labelled as folklore rather than verified fact.
High Street Haunted House (Sai Ying Pun): the former nurses’ quarters of the Government Civil Hospital (built 1892), later a mental-health facility. It is Hong Kong’s most famous “haunted house” in popular culture.
Ta Teh Institute (Tuen Mun): a left-leaning college founded in 1946 and closed by the colonial government in 1949. Its abandoned campus became a setting for urban legends.
MTR ghost stories: legends attached to stations from the 1970s onward, including the famous “Choi Hung” tales.
Bride’s Pool (Tai Po): named for a folk tale of a bridal sedan falling into the pool.
Paper-effigy shops, Tai Ping Shan Street: the funeral-goods shops of Sheung Wan’s Tai Ping Shan Street.
This site records urban legends to preserve cultural memory. Every entry is labelled as folklore and is never mixed into the statistics or history sections, which carry only sourced facts.
The Intangible Cultural Heritage Office under the Home Affairs Bureau and LCSD inscribes selected folk customs, festivals and oral histories onto Hong Kong’s Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage, and preserves related survey reports and oral history archives. These are officially recognised cultural records and can be cited in structured form. All other community-circulated tales that are not inscribed remain labelled as cultural phenomena and are not treated as historical fact.
No urban legend, ghost story or folk history reading not endorsed by the Government Records Service or the ICHO ever enters the history timeline, archaeology or declared-monuments sections, so that cultural narrative and officially verified historical text are kept strictly separate.
Official hard figures not yet recorded (all carry an explicit year): (1) 20 inscribed items on LCSD’s Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage — year of inscription, nominating community, corresponding file number; (2) ICHO annual folk-custom survey reports — survey scope, number of communities interviewed, items recorded by year; (3) Government Records Service oral-history open-file series — number of interviews released, occupational distribution of interviewees, chronological distribution; (4) Home Affairs Bureau registered folk festivals — hosting communities, yearly event counts, first official-record year. Deliberately left blank: urban legends, ghost stories and folk-history readings not inscribed on the ICH list or endorsed by GRS/ICHO are deliberately not cited.
