A visit from a family
“I recall one night working in the research lab during my final university year. There was no one else around except me… Suddenly I smelled very strong cigarette smoke in the room. I turned around but again I saw no one…
As I proceeded with my work, suddenly there was a loud familiar Hainanese male voice calling out for my name. It was my dead Grandpa. I had a scare and turned around. But again there was no one. At least I knew where the cigarette smell was coming from.”

Female Ghost
“My friend and I were randomly cycling around 2am and we ended up at Cleantech Loop. Suddenly we heard sound behind us so I turned back and saw something that looked like a duck with glowing eyes that flew past us and disappeared. My friend told me not to look at it and just keep cycling. After a distance, my friend told me pontianak [a female ghost] sometimes take the form of a night-bird.”

You Lost?
“A man was opening the gate of his house. A girl ran towards him, asking for money. He ignored her and went into the house. He switched on the television and was shocked to see the same girl had committed suicide right in front of his house that day. The girl looked at him from the television, smiling, and said, “Give me money.”

Jungle
“My job requires me to conduct tactical tracking in wee hours at unordinary places. One night, I was tasked to track a densely forested area. I came across one lone tombstone, covered in overgrown vines and with heavily corroded engravings. I felt a gust of wind but it was odd to have a breeze in such an area. I heard a whisper – so I quickly picked up my pace and left.”

You want to play with me?
“I have heard about the spirit of a Japanese girl who lives between the darkened gaps of furniture, doors and drawers, waiting for you to meet her gaze. She will then ask you to play hide-and-seek, and the next time you meet her, she will pull you into the gap and drag you to either Hell or an entirely new dimension.”
– Siow Peng Ann, 39
Hospital
“I was in a hospital and unable to find the way to my friend’s ward. I looked for someone to ask for directions, only to find a wandering child. I asked the little boy whether he was lost but he pointed towards the end of the corridor and said, ‘Help.’ At the end of the corridor, I found the same boy lying unconscious. Chills went down my spine as I shouted for help.”
– Chua Beng Beng, 41
Lets do it again
“A year ago, during the Seventh Month, I went to a park for a run at about 10pm. At the park, I heard laughter followed by cries, from soft to loud and piercing. I looked around and there was no one in the park. Next day, my family told me a lady committed suicide with her baby there just last month, on the same date, at the same time.”
– Caroline Kong, 39
Horror Night
“I went for a night movie date with my girlfriend. When I entered the cinema, the last row of seats were all occupied… At the end of the movie, not sure if there were post credits, I turned around to see if people were leaving, but the whole cinema was empty. I asked my friend if the people all left earlier, she replied me, ‘What people? Only us tonight.’”
– Gerlisa Lai, 28
Daddy Daddy
“It’s 10 at night and I begin to tuck my son into bed and he asks me, ‘Daddy can you please check for monsters under my bed?’ I look under the bed and I see him under the bed, crying. He whispers, ‘Daddy, there is someone on my bed.’”
– Joseph, 39
I’m Lonely
“While on a run to train for a marathon [during] the Seventh month, a black ‘figure’ just swooped behind me and startled me. I thought it was a crow or some sort of bird and ignored it. Towards the end of the running path, the same thing happened again… This time, I felt some sort of a ‘pat’ on my right shoulder and freaking out, I ran as fast as I could…
That night I suffered a migraine and fever… The doctor asked me why I had a ‘hand-print’ with ‘claw-like’ scratches on my right shoulder… At home, I told my mom what happened. She told me maybe got evil spirit follow me home… The imprint disappeared a few days later.”
– Muhammad Irman Bin Mohd Yazid, 29
