4 Haunted Places to Inspire Singaporean Horror Writers

Lurking in the cracks of Singapore’s bright cityscapes are old abandoned places. Places with backstories more sinister than my Grandma’s mixed meat stew. Try visiting a couple of these places, next time you need inspiration for a horror story – or if you just feel a need to wet yourself. Take this as our personal dare, for you to visit each and every one of these places. Hope you live to tell the tale:

1. Haw Par Villa

If you were a kid in the ’80s and ’90s, it’s likely you’ve been dragged here on some sort of nightmarish school excursion. The area is supposed to be a tourist attraction, and its famous Ten Courts of Hell apparently holds the key to understanding Chinese mythology. Though the only thing anyone can focus on is the eerie, all-too lifelike statues being dismembered alive.

What’s Creepy:

It’s said to be where one of the (literal) gates of hell lies. Guards patrolling the area have reported the statues coming to life at night, often with blood-curdling screams. And the reason for that? It’s what happens when you build a park dedicated to portraying every last torture device and demon in Hell’s arsenal.

Rumor has it that, after the park was built, a local bomoh made a habit of sneaking in at night. He would conduct prayers to the darker entities portrayed in the statues, to secure winning lottery numbers and love for his clients. It’s said that in doing so, he persuaded all sorts of “hungry ghosts” to frequent the area.

2. The Matilda House

If you think living in a modern estate saves you from the horrors of the underworld, think again. The Matilda House sticks out like a sore thumb, among the reflective glass and concrete buildings in Pungool estate. Perhaps it’s story can shed some light on why such a dilapidated house still stands, adjacent to the developing, high-end Treasure Trove Condominium.

old abandoned house
Contractors who enter the house with the intention of demolishing it have met with terrible deaths.

What’s Creepy:

The House is impossible to demolish—at least according to companies who have tried. Contractors who have entered the house with the intention of demolishing it have only met with terrible deaths; and one of them supposedly just vanished. As in he went in and didn’t come back out, period.The police couldn’t even find the body.

People who have walked on the footpath beside the house have also reported the soles of their shoes falling out. Getting cold feet yet?

3. Pulau Tekong Army Camp

This is a Basic Military Training centre located on one of Singapore’s offshore islands. Known for its hard training regimen and ghost stories, girls get to breathe a sigh of relief that they’re safe in the comforts of their home. Though I can’t say the same for their male counterparts.

Army bunk beds
Beds are known to rattle at nigh,t and eerie sounds can still be heard after midnight.

What’s Creepy:

The spirit of an ex-recruit who died during a route march is said to loiter around the camp, trapped in one of the bunks. This is why one of the bunks features a third door (they usually only have two doors). This was suggested by a Taoist consultant, who told them to create a “spirit door” for the restless soul. This would supposedly encourage him to leave, but we’re guessing he likes it just where he is – because every time a new batch of recruits heads in, a new series of unexplained things happens.

Beds rattle at night, and marching sounds can be heard on the parade ground long after midnight. It’s also rumored that there’s a higher rate of attempted suicides, among soldiers who live in that exact same bunk.

4. Bukit Brown Cemetry

What’s a list of haunted places without a cemetery? Built since the 20th Century, this is the biggest Chinese graveyard to exist outside of China, spanning the whole stretch between Lornie Road and Mount Pleasant Road—a large enough surface area for our otherworldly friends to take a leisurely stroll in the open should they feel like it.

Evil laughter has been heard ringing throughout the place at night.

What’s Creepy:

Well, duh, it’s a cemetery. You couldn’t expect anything less than a ghost story to come out of this place. Evil laughter has been heard ringing throughout the place at night, together with sightings of a longhaired woman in a cheongsam. Singapore Paranormal Investigators, who once set up camp there, had the batteries in their equipment drain without explanation.Back in the ’90s, a young man accepted a dare to spend the night there. The next morning his body was found a few metres from the gate, legs and arms sprawled out. It looked like something leapt on his back, just as he was running for the gate…

They also say his eyes wouldn’t close, remaining open in terror until the undertaker glued them shut. So if you’re going to attempt the same dare, make sure you have good running shoes.

You may not have long to visit Bukit Brown though…the Land Transport Authority might demolish it to make way for a train station. Good luck to those rail workers, we say.

Room 102 I saw a reflection of someone dashing through the room in the mirror, just outside the bathroom in the hallway above the dresser drawers. While drying my hair with a towel, dripping wet and naked, I stepped out of the bathroom into the bedroom to have a look. A Malaysian man with a black turban and black silk clothes materialized and stood facing me about three feet away. He opened his mouth and moved it as if he was speaking to me, but he was silent. He had deep eye sockets; void and darkness replaced his eyes, and his face was dry, brown, and crinkled. The ghost then reached for me, extending both arms, and hovered toward me at about one inch per second.

This is basically teaching of enlightenment isn't it?

I read an article on these "powerful" syllables, it can calms one's mind and ward off spirits.

Btw thumbs up on bumping my 5 year old post.

Yeah..some only haunted one room..some few rooms and some whole floor.

Haha...really?
BTW I am curious, do normal people able to summon power to defeat the ghost by murmuring the phrases, or must like train ( bertapa or I don't know how) to have some level of power baru can use the phrase? I found it hard to believe by uttering a few phrase can have power to defeat ghost lo

If you bertapA and have very good moral and sila, ghost will not disturb you because you are a higher being than them. besides the gods protect those who are good in their heart

Hmm... if you say like that, means ppl that saw ghost, got kena by ghost are ppl that are not being protected by god ( means they r bad?)
I think its more on bad luck, and I also think its about non believer gua.. non believer don't see ghost, in my humble personal opinion..
I never see ghost before
But I lived in haunted house, where at night my chair in living room will make noises as in got ppl sitting on them, and my bucket full of water in bathtub will fall for no reason, then my mom go and ask baru we know she go ( kai guang ) at a temple that is suppose to catch ppl's souls ( cos my mom don't know Mandarin)
And we made offerings and jemput it out, and no more weird sounds since..

But I don't get goosebumps or what, just some extra noise and weird stuff only, never seen one..
But I believe in it, but I don't go and think about it too much

Christian got say if you wanna be save after you die, as in not going to hell, you must believe Jesus is your saviour..
My Chinese friend told me we must get the heaven's approval by learning good virtues ( its a shue wen, where you need to obtain from temple), like a book to learn or something, all in Chinese, I can't rmb....

So after we die, if we didn't learn all these, we will be barred from Heaven's gate...
I don't even know what to believe, too much stuff from different religion, I am Buddhist btw..

Just sharing..

Well what I meant was, if a person is good and virtuous , he shouldn't be afraid of the ghost , which are actually lower beings in Buddhism. Usually they appear to humans , to those who they think can help them to get out from their miserable state.

They are known as petas in Buddhism.

Gardens Hotel KL? The Gardens MV!

All this stuff about haunted hotel rooms is largely nonsense.

You paid for the room; you deserve to do whatever you want in it.

You can prance around the room in a kangaroo suit if you so please.

Mind to share when and time?

Ahhh.. sooka....
