Giant (Big) Wild Goose Pagoda

The Giant (Big) Wild Goose Pagoda is a historic Buddhist stone pagoda located in Xi'an, identified in the sources as the pagoda in Yanta District and often presented in travel literature as a symbol of Xi'an's ancient heritage and a regular stop on cultural tours. The supplied source set distinguishes the Giant/Big Wild Goose Pagoda from the Small Wild Goose Pagoda (in Beilin District) but does not include construction dates, founding monks, or detailed chronological history within the excerpts provided. The research notes contain very little direct material about hauntings or paranormal phenomena at the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. No source in the provided corpus offers sustained eyewitness reports, named apparitions, poltergeist activity, physical effects, investigative findings, or established local spirit identities tied to the pagoda. Two fragments hint at legend-like material: a travel-blog fragment recounting a guide's mention of "a monk that walked for 17 years," and an archival newspaper fragment that references the pagoda name in a non-paranormal context. Both fragments are incomplete, uncorroborated, and do not explicitly describe ghostly phenomena. Because the supplied materials lack substantive evidence of haunting, this entry records the site's cultural-tourist significance while noting the absence of verified paranormal claims in the provided sources. Recommended further research (outside the supplied set) would include Chinese-language folklore collections, temple histories, regional oral-history archives, and local guidebook traditions to locate any properly attested legends or ghost narratives associated with either Wild Goose Pagoda.
