The Hungry Ghost Festival, also known as the Seventh Month, ushers in an eerie atmosphere in many parts of the world. Singapore, with its rich cultural tapestry, is no exception. It is a time when traditional beliefs hold that the gates to the underworld are open, allowing spirits to roam freely
As the veil between the realms grows thinner during this time, encountering unexpected sights in the dead of night can send shivers down one’s spine, especially for motorists.
In a recent incident at Mount Faber, a rider had a spine-tingling encounter at 2.15 am in the morning.
A Late-Night Chill Ride
The motorcyclist, who later shared his experience on TikTok, embarked on a late-night journey down Mount Faber. He described the ride as “chill,” but little did he know that he was about to come across something that would make his heart race.
A Spooky Encounter
As he made his way down the winding roads of Mount Faber, the rider’s dashcam captured something unusual. In the video, the rider encounters what appears to be a man and a woman standing by the roadside in the dead of night.
The two of them appear to be hugging each other on the roads, as the motorists ride past them along the bend. The rider recording the footage almost crashed into them and managed to swerve away from them in the nick of time.
The eerie scene seems to have startled him, and he couldn’t help but mention that it was the Seventh Month, asking the couple not to scare people by being on the roads with many bends, highlighting how dangerous it is.
In a humorous attempt to lighten the mood, he jokes, “I’m still too young to go visit my ancestors.”
The Danger of Mount Faber Roads
As the video continues, the rider draws attention to the treacherous nature of the road at Mount Faber, which is known for its many bends. Crossing such a road, especially at night, can be extremely hazardous.
With genuine concern, he implores, “Please don’t walk on the roads.” His plea echoes the sentiment of many who are familiar with the potential dangers of Mount Faber’s winding paths, especially during the Hungry Ghost Festival when spirits are believed to be particularly active.
