In 2015, a horror movie based on the "Top Ten Supernatural Events in China" was released. One of the plots was based on the "Supernatural Event on Beijing No. 375 Bus".

Many Beijingers are familiar with this "supernatural event". This rumor has been widely circulated on the Internet since 2007. Due to the publicity of this movie, this recent "supernatural incident" has aroused heated discussions among netizens, and the "verification" craze has risen again. However, senior bus employees said that the details in the online posts were inconsistent with the actual bus operations and that the rumors were false.

According to reports, this movie is based on a series of "Chinese supernatural events". These legends have been circulating on the Internet for a long time, and they are described in a way similar to news reports, which once attracted the attention of netizens.

In particular, the "Supernatural Incident on Bus No. 375" is the only one that states the detailed "location" of the incident. Therefore, the most number of netizens seek verification.

It is rumored that on a late autumn night in the early 1990s, when bus No. 375 was operating late at night, three passengers with suspicious behavior got on at a station between the Old Summer Palace terminal and Xiangshan. An old man in the car noticed something strange about them and found an excuse to pull a young man out of the car and was rescued. The missing bus was found a few days later in an outer suburb, with a body found inside.

The reporter's search found that this story had appeared at least in 2007. The story was most widely circulated on some social networking sites between 2008 and 2010. Judging from the comments, there were tens of thousands of netizens trying to "seek verification" at that time. As time goes by, the popularity continues to decrease, but netizens still forward it from time to time.

There are always people asking about night buses.

The reporter found out that the current No. 375 bus runs between Xizhimen North Bus Station and Hanjiachuan Bus Station. The last bus in the entire section is: 9pm and 10pm. From 9 pm to 11 pm, there will also be shuttle buses from Xizhimen north to the North Palace Gate of the Summer Palace.

At about 9 pm on September 17, the reporter took bus No. 375 at Hanjiachuan Station. A staff member at Hanjiachuan Station said that passengers often inquire about this "supernatural incident".

A No. 375 bus driver told reporters that since he came to the convoy, he has always met people who specifically asked about this matter. Some passengers even came from other places just to take the No. 375 bus. Night train or last train. But he said he didn't know about it.

The driver also told reporters that bus No. 375 never traveled toward Xiangshan and never passed the so-called Old Summer Palace Bus Terminal, so the rumors were not credible.

The rumors are unreliable and the route is remote or may have become the beginning of rumors

After taking the bus from the north of Xizhimen, the reporter discovered that Route 375 passed through the Heishan Hu Road and Heilongtan Road after the North Gate of the Summer Palace. At that time, it seemed a little remote.

Mr. Chen, who lives near Heishanhu, told reporters that most of the areas in this area are bungalows with few commercial or entertainment facilities, and there are far fewer people and cars on the road at night. And because it is backed by Baiwang Mountain and faces the Jingmi Aqueduct, the roadside is completely dark except for the lights of street lights and houses facing the street. In the 1990s, there were no people on the streets after 7 p.m., and there were not as many road lighting facilities as there are now. At that time, there were some naughty children who specially made up "horrible encounters" to scare people for fun. The ghost stories on the bus were probably made up by children nearby. ?

According to an employee who has worked at the passenger transport branch of Route 375 for many years, he discovered that "paranormal bus incidents" not only occur on Route 375, but are also rumored to occur on Route 330, 331, etc. There are multiple lines, but the story content is almost the same.

He believes that these lines have a lot in common. In the 1990s and even today, some areas along the lines were relatively remote or passed through ancient buildings, cemeteries, etc., and may therefore have become "supernatural". object.

Some netizens once said that the last bus of Route 375 to Hanjiachuan is now 9 p.m., an hour earlier than the bus to Xizhimen. This may be to avoid the "supernatural" late at night. In this regard, the staff member said that the first and last bus times are generally determined based on factors such as passenger flow or station conditions.

The employee said that the reason for the early departure was that there was no official bus station in Hanjiachuan and the bus could not stay here overnight. After the last train arrived in Hanjiachuan, it had to drive back to Xizhimen, so there was a jet lag. It has nothing to do with the so-called "supernatural".

Some online posts stated that the supernatural incident occurred late at night on November 14 or November 16, 1995. The next day, the Beijing Evening News and Beijing News quickly reported this shocking incident. news and conducted on-site interviews with old and young people.

This morning, the reporter came to the National Library and checked the newspapers of that year and found that the 1995 "Beijing Evening News" did not publish the incident of the missing bus from November 14 to 17. , several online bus routes were not mentioned in Beijing-wide news. The only news involving buses also happened in Hong Kong, and there was no news from netizens.
