Move over, haunted houses of Singapore, how about an entire haunted island instead? Pulau Tekong is where we send our fresh-faced boys to become men through NS — however, they’ll probably have to grapple with more than strenuous physical exercises on their plate. The most infamous tale is one of a recruit who curiously disappeared during training. ...
Of all the haunted places in Singapore, St. John’s Island might be the one with the most spine-chilling history. Now a relaxing weekend getaway for many Singaporeans, it was once a quarantine station for patients infected with cholera and leprosy, before becoming a prisoner-of-war camp. The island was the site of many mass executions, with the ghos...
This might seem oddly specific, but bear with us. The story is too intriguing not to share. Instead of a haunted house, the spot in question is a haunted HDB flat in Bedok. As the tale goes, a wife took her unhappiness with her marriage to the next level, throwing herself (clad in a red Chinese wedding dress, no less) and her three-year-old son out...
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...
If you’ve been to parties held at chalets located within the nooks of Loyang, you’ll always have that one friend that suggests dropping by the Pasir RisRed House for a little midnight adventure. The Red House was owned by Sir Percy McNeice, a British civil servant and Singapore’s first president of the City Council, and his wife Loke Yuen Peng. It ...
For the superstitious ones amongst us, the word rubber might already set off alarm bells in your head. For the uninitiated, the Nee Soon Rubber Estate was a huge rubber plantation that covered the current Sembawang, Yishun and Seletarareas. Rubber trees also happen to be the favoured haunt for pontianaks. Although the plantation has since been clea...
When you think of haunted places in Singapore, chances are, the old Changi Hospital immediately comes to mind. The vacated colonial-style building is not for the faint of heart. Background: it was constructed as part of a military base where more than 50,000 prisoners were detained during the Japanese Occupation. Crying and moaning sounds in the vi...
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...
- Pontianaks. You’re walking home and it’s midnight. It’s a beautiful night for a walk, with the moon illuminating your way and the sweet smell of flowers in the air.
- The Restless Souls of the Massacred. Orders are barked out in a language you don’t understand, you’re acutely aware of the barrel of a gun pressing into your lower back, your stomach is screaming for sustenance, but you don’t feel anything.
- Toyols. It’s taking over your life. You were supposed to control it, you were supposed to be its master. When did it become the other way around? Somehow, you’re caught in the Toyol’s grubby fingers and it won’t let you go.
- Hungry Ghosts. You’re starving. If only you had known that the afterlife was so unforgiving. You would have been much kinder during your time on earth.
