Tucked away in Kampong Bahru, the two flats here are known as the oldest in Singapore. Built in the 1970s, the blocks formerly housed folks who worked at the now-defunct Tanjong Pagar Railway Station. When the station shut down, the flats were left unoccupied for a very long time. During that period, it’s believed that spirits “moved in” and made t...
Changi Beach is touted as one of the most haunted places in the world, so of course, we had to give it a mention. With its grizzly history, it’s hardly a surprise why it has this title. As the site of the infamous Sook Ching massacre, thousands of Chinese men were executed through a military operation carried out by the Japanese. Suspected of being...

Rubber trees also happen to be the favoured haunt for pontianaks. Although the plantation has since been clea...

Known for its luscious greenery and hiking trails, MacRitchie Reservoir is actually a hotspot for the paranormal. Deep in the reservoir lies a Japanese shrine from WWII. Syonan Jinja, built to commemorate Japanese soldiers who died in the war, now sees its remnants engulfed by nature. It’s said to be haunted by spirits of the dead protecting the sh...
Built in the 80s, this housing estate’s dark history started with its abandonment in the early 2000s. It was later used as a Sars quarantine facility in 2003 before availing its flats for rentals. In 2009, it made headlines as the location of a murder involving a mentally unwell woman and her teenage daughter. While people still live there, the num...

Allegedly disturbed by the spirit of a murder victim, Amber Beacon Tower near Carpark C is an active site for curious paranormal investigators. Passers-by have claimed to see a female apparition crying for help on some nights. Research shows that a m...
The site is relatively well-known in Singapore… for being a suicide destination. It’s morbid, we know. But from 2011 to 2012, six suicides (and one attempted suicide) occurred at the reservoir. Now, its reputation as one of Singapore’s most haunted places is here to stay. The multiple suicides sparked government intervention when an inter-religious...
The strange theme park, also known as Tiger Balm Gardens, is just as freaky in broad daylight. Just look at its bizarre statues that depict Chinese legends and folklore. The spookiest spot on the property? The Ten Courts of Hell, which show in gruesome detail the torture and punishments for sins committed in one’s lifetime. Rumour has it that Haw P...
