High Island Reservoir occupies the area that was formerly the Kwun Mun Channel, which separated High Island from the Sai Kung Peninsula. Constructed as a large impounding reservoir and opened in 1978, it is described in available sources as the largest impounding reservoir by capacity in Hong Kong, with an approximate capacity of 281 million cubic metres. The site's significance in the provided materials is infrastructural and geographical: converting a marine channel into a major freshwater storage facility to help alleviate water shortages in Hong Kong. The supplied research notes and sources contain no documented supernatural traditions, named spirits, eyewitness accounts, reported apparitions, or oral histories connecting High Island Reservoir or the Tai Long Wan area to a 'ghost village.' Archival items included in the research set do not provide paranormal information relevant to this place. Because the sources are strictly factual/administrative (Wikipedia, Wikidata) and unrelated archival documents, no folklore-based claims or interpretive theories about hauntings are attributed to this entry.
