- The soul ripper. Used to live in a landed property, and one time I heard my dad let out the most drawn-out, bloodcurdling scream I’ve ever heard in my life – like, full-on horror movie type of scream at around 2AM-3AM.
- The unexpected goodbye. There’s this belief that when someone in the family passes, their soul will linger on earth for 7 days before they move on. My grandma passed before Chinese New Year back in 2009, so my relatives and I were waiting for her to “appear”, especially my dad being the youngest and closest to her.
- Lack of personal space. This happened when I was in the army during BMT and it was my first supernatural experience ever. It was during field camp on the first night.
- The sleep demon. I was studying for my O-Levels so I had really irregular sleeping hours. One night, at about 4AM, I woke up suddenly. I could feel my skin touching the blanket, but I couldn’t move anything, not even my eyes.

Army camps are a hotbed for ghostly activities; mine was no exception. One time, my friend and I were on guard duty for a night shift at 3am. While chatting to stay awake, my friend spotted some ducks further up the road. Mind you, it was in the middle of the night. Shouldn’t the animals be asleep? But according to a Malay urban legend, seeing or h...
I participated in a Malay language appreciation camp during my secondary school days. Some campers and teachers spontaneously planned a night walk around the school. One of them dressed up in a baju kurung and headscarf and parked himself at one end of the science block. The night walk was a success, but participants said they spotted two figures –...
National service ghost stories can be a dime a dozen, but this one story of mine has always stuck with me. While on a routine night patrol around my camp, my buddy and I happened to see some movement in the distance, which was weird considering it was so late. Against our better judgement, we stayed and waited to see if we could get a better look a...
My family takes regular walks in the park that’s nearby our flat. It was late at night, and I had wandered off somewhere in the park. My dad calls for me and shouts my full Chinese name, which I’ve learned is incredibly taboo to do at night. The next day, I broke into a sky-high fever and coughing fit that both Western medicine and traditional Chin...
My father-in-law usually leaves for work at 6am. One day I woke up at 7am and realised he was still in bed. After showering, I checked on him but saw he was no longer there. I asked my mum-in-law where he’d gone and she said he’d been out since 6 in the morning. If he wasn’t home, then who was sleeping in his bed? When my husband came home, I told ...
My cousin died of drowning at the tender age of eight. It was the first time such tragedy happened in our family so the whole thing was heavy for all of us. The wake was held in our ancestral house. I had just viewed the coffin and came back to my aunt’s convenience store to man it. But suddenly, someone touched my ear out of nowhere, and I literal...
My husband (then boyfriend) and I had only begun dating when one of his relatives passed away. As we practise different religions, I was shocked to see his family dispersing powder on the ground. He explained that in doing so, we’d be able to see the footsteps of the dead. I didn’t think much about it, but when I woke up the next morning and saw fo...
It was our colleague’s last day and we all huddled together for a Polaroid shot. But what we saw had us completely frozen. There were four of us, and as the photo developed, we noticed an additional figure – a spirit dangling over our friend’s shoulders! She was so traumatised that she took some time off work to calm down. We have since developed a...
My husband and I were alone at home chilling in our room when we noticed from under the door a shadow pacing back and forth. It didn’t bother me at first. I thought my in-laws were home until I received a call from my mum-in-law and realised we were indeed the only ones there. I freaked out and opened the door but there was no one. I noticed that t...
Woodlands is known for its haunted HDB building (Block 852), which was once empty for the longest time. Years ago, my cousin moved to the neighbourhood and unknowingly stayed near the haunted block. Things soon took a weird turn. The television would switch on without warning, but the family brushed it off. During the first night of the seventh mon...
