Frightened visitors at a Taiwanese theme park have repeatedly attacked actors dressed in ghost costumes in a "haunted theatre" attraction, the company said.

The incidents have prompted Janfusun Amusement Park to grant leave of absence or transfer for actors working at "Horrorwood," which features scenes from ten classic horror movies, a company spokeswoman said.

A male employee in a zombie costume was slapped in the face by a man whose girlfriend had been scared out of her wits, she said.

The man later explained he wanted to find out whether the "ghost" was real or not.

A female visitor hit another male worker in the private parts with an umbrella, the spokeswoman said.

One female employee complained that male visitors often touched her hip, she added.
