The film is set in the haunted streets of Hong Kong, with four loosely connected stories put together in one film. A group of youngsters go on a camping trip in the countryside, where Ken encounters a mysterious woman near a grave. His life is changed since then as he becomes a victim of ghost-meddling. As his friends return to Hong Kong without him, another sinister story begins. Mrs To has a date with her husband to celebrate their wedding anniversary, but he does not appear. The outcome of the second story leads to another story about Ken's friend Jojo having a romantic affair with a ghost. The fourth story is about Peter Butt visiting a haunted theatre with some of Ken's friends.

A film crew travels to a remote island to shoot a music video. The island is inhabited by some villagers and an eccentric police inspector. Paranormal events occur during their stay: eerie screams are heard at night but the villagers dismiss them as wolves' howling; a strange young man is seen wandering around, asking whether they had seen someone called Ying. In addition, while shooting a scene in the water, the actresses felt something tickling their feet. An old woman narrates a tragic story about a pair of lovers from the village who were separated from each other because the woman's father opposed the relationship — the man was burnt to death while the woman drowned herself at sea. A mysterious feral child is revealed to be the one responsible for making the screams, and the old woman recognises him as the lovers' long-lost son. A ritual is performed to put the lovers' spirits to rest and their son is adopted by the villagers.

He seeks help from his mother, Mrs Bud Lung, an expert ghostbuster, who helps them unravel the mystery behind Olive. They learn that Olive is actually possessed by a female ghost who is looking for her lost son.
