A video emerged online on the @nightshifthorror TikTok page, showing a ghostly encounter purportedly captured at Pulau Ubin.
The page said that the video was sent in to them by a security officer, who captured what he claims to be the ghost of the famous German Girl Shrine on the island.
The security guard was taking a video of the island’s surrounding at night to inform his supervisor that he couldn’t do his “round check” because it was raining that night.
But as he panned his camera towards his right, in the distance beside some foliage, a figure wearing what appears to be an “old medieval gown” could be seen floating across.
The video then zoomed in on the figure, showing the purported ghost’s attire, with the lower part of the gown appearing to be puffier than the top.
The legend of the German Girl Ghost
The legend of the German Girl Ghost dates back to the World War 1 period (1914 to 1918). She was said to be a daughter of a German coffee plantation owner who lived near where the German Girl Shrine currently sits at Pulau Ubin.
Two names popped up from research into the story, via the past land deeds – Daniel Brandt and Hermann Mulingans, but in-depth investigations into the girl’s parents were inconclusive.
The story goes that the German girl’s family was taken away by British soldiers for internment but she somehow managed to escape. However, she slipped and fell into a quarry before dying, and her dead body was then found by the Boyanese people and covered up with sand.
Her body was later retrieved by Chinese workers who then gave her a proper burial, and the grave was then exhumed in 1974 to make way for quarry excavation works before being relocated to its current location, at the German Girl Shrine in Pulau Ubin.
Ghostly figure wandering along the beach
It is said that the German girl’s spirit remained on the island. Since then, visitors to Pulau Ubin have reported seeing the ghostly figure of a young girl in a white dress, wandering through the forest and along the beach. Some have even claimed to have heard her crying or calling out for her father.
The legend of the German Girl Ghost has become a popular topic of discussion among paranormal enthusiasts and ghost hunters. Many have attempted to capture evidence of the ghostly presence, with some claiming to have recorded eerie voices and strange apparitions on film.
Despite the many sightings and stories, there are some who believe that the legend of the German Girl Ghost is simply a myth. They point out that there is no historical evidence to support the story of the girl and her family, and that the legend may have been invented to attract tourists to the island.
Regardless of whether or not the German Girl Ghost is real, there is no denying the eerie atmosphere that permeates Pulau Ubin. The island’s dense jungle and deserted beaches make it the perfect setting for a ghost story, and visitors can’t help but feel a sense of unease as they explore its winding paths and hidden corners.
The legend of the German Girl Ghost at Pulau Ubin is a fascinating and spooky tale that has captured the imagination of many visitors to the island. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, there is no denying the eerie atmosphere of Pulau Ubin and the allure of its mysterious legends.
