An adventure of the supernatural variety<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_299083\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299083\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-299083 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-night-at-the-beach-900x643.png\" alt=\"singapore ghost stories night at the beach\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-night-at-the-beach-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-night-at-the-beach-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-night-at-the-beach.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-299083\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Pixabay via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At 16, I was chosen to lead a group of young freshmen and assist instructors at an adventure camp in Sembawang. I wasn\u2019t fond of the location as it was near the infamous Kampong Wak Hassan, which has experienced common sightings of pontianaks and pocongs. The beach nearby is also a hotspot for people to dispose of &#8220;spiritual items&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Before our night walk, we had a briefing. Each group would have to walk through a dense forest, passing by the beach, a mosque and an old gate. The leaders had to stay at chosen positions along the route to ensure students wouldn&#8217;t stray.<\/p>\n<p>When night fell, I took up my spot near the beach and waited for the first group to pass. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone at the beach but paid no attention to them. Soon, the presence came closer to me. I heard small chants, a dead giveaway that someone was throwing away something &#8220;spiritual&#8221;. After the person left, I felt someone&#8217;s hand grab me. I was shocked but didn&#8217;t dare to turn around. Thankfully, a group of students finally walked past my route and all was back to normal.<\/p>\n<p>During the debrief, everyone said they felt someone standing next to them even when they were alone. Just like me, no one dared to look back. Post-experience, I came down with a fever and a mysterious mark temporarily appeared on my hand&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>2. The car with no driver<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_240124\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-240124\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-240124 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-man-in-front-of-car-900x643.png\" alt=\"singapore ghost stories | man in front of car\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-man-in-front-of-car-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-man-in-front-of-car-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-man-in-front-of-car.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-240124\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Eugene Triguba via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My cousin died of drowning at the tender age of eight. It was the first time such tragedy happened in our family so the whole thing was heavy for all of us. The wake was held in our ancestral house. I had just viewed the coffin and came back to my aunt&#8217;s convenience store to man it. But suddenly, someone touched my ear out of nowhere, and I literally ran screaming to my aunt in fear.<\/p>\n<p>It didn&#8217;t end there. I kid you not when I say that my uncle&#8217;s car started moving on its own for about 200 metres. It only stopped when it hit one of the benches in our town&#8217;s former wet market. We all thought our drunk uncle was driving it, but it was empty. Apparently, my deceased cousin loved cars.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Is it a virus or a curse?<\/h3>\n<p>My family takes regular walks in the park that\u2019s near our flat. It was late at night, and I had wandered off somewhere in the park. My dad calls for me and shouts my full Chinese name, which I\u2019ve learned is incredibly taboo to do at night. The next day, I broke into a sky-high fever and coughing fit that both Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine couldn\u2019t fix. Fast forward a week later, my fever was still present and someone recommended we visit a temple because the cause might have been supernatural. After some prayers, my fever completely subsided later that night without any form of medication.<\/p>\n<h3>4. The haunting of a school<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_299079\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299079\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-299079 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-empty-classroom-900x643.png\" alt=\"singapore ghost stories empty classroom\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-empty-classroom-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-empty-classroom-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-empty-classroom.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-299079\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Feliphe Schiarolli via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I participated in a Malay language appreciation camp during my secondary school days. Some campers and teachers spontaneously planned a night walk around the school. One of them dressed up in a baju kurung and headscarf and parked himself at one end of the science block. The night walk was a success, but participants said they spotted two figures \u2013 one was the event organiser, while the other looked eerily similar and stood at the opposite end of the building. Everyone knew the school was haunted, but we didn\u2019t know which area exactly. After that night, we got the answer.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Someone&#8217;s watching you<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279122\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279122\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-279122 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-woman-in-haunted-house-900x643.png\" alt=\"singapore ghost stories | woman in haunted house\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-woman-in-haunted-house-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-woman-in-haunted-house-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-woman-in-haunted-house.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-279122\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Do you feel a chill going up your spine?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I was on a university volunteering trip in a village in Laos. We slept in one of the classrooms: five of us huddled together under one huge mosquito net. We were told to go to the toilet in pairs, especially at night when the village was blanketed in darkness (there was no electricity).<\/p>\n<p>One night, one of my friends woke us all up. We were slightly confused but begrudgingly went to the toilet with her. The next day, she revealed why she was so scared. In the middle of the night, she saw the figure of a young girl standing right outside our mosquito net, looking at us sleeping. Another friend who was sensitive to spirits confirmed that he sometimes heard children laughing and running around at night. Thankfully, we didn&#8217;t talk about this on the night itself, or I would have gotten zero sleep.<\/p>\n<h3>6. What the duck?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279202\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279202\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-279202 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-ducks-in-a-row-900x643.png\" alt=\"singapore ghost stories | ducks in a row\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-ducks-in-a-row-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-ducks-in-a-row-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-ducks-in-a-row.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-279202\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Vlad Tchompalov via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Army camps are a hotbed for ghostly activities; mine was no exception. One time, my friend and I were on guard duty for a night shift at 3am. While chatting to stay awake, my friend spotted some ducks further up the road. Mind you, it was in the middle of the night. Shouldn\u2019t the animals be asleep? But according to a Malay urban legend, seeing or hearing ducks means a pontianak is nearby. I guess we\u2019re pretty lucky the ducks weren&#8217;t quacking&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>7. At least it was hopping away<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_257191\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-257191\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-257191 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Ghost-stories-in-Singapore-900x643.png\" alt=\"Ghost stories in Singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Ghost-stories-in-Singapore-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Ghost-stories-in-Singapore-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Ghost-stories-in-Singapore.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-257191\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Imprensa AgruBan via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>National service ghost stories can be a dime a dozen, but this one story of mine has always stuck with me. While on a routine night patrol around my camp, my buddy and I happened to see some movement in the distance, which was weird considering it was so late. Against our better judgement, we stayed and waited to see if we could get a better look at the figure.<\/p>\n<p>That was when we noticed that the figure wasn\u2019t walking, it was jumping. And when it passed a street lamp, we realised it was a pocong, a ghost that&#8217;s said to be the soul of a dead person trapped in a white shroud used in burial rituals. For some reason, we couldn\u2019t look away and watched as it hopped from the streets into the forest. We looked at each other and quickly walked back to our office without saying anything and I was pretty much awake for the rest of that night duty.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Ghostly doppelganger<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_240123\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-240123\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-240123 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-empty-bed-900x643.png\" alt=\"singapore ghost stories | empty bed\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-empty-bed-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-empty-bed-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-empty-bed.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-240123\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Annie Spratt via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My father-in-law usually leaves for work at 6am. One day I woke up at 7am and realised he was still in bed. After showering, I checked on him but saw he was no longer there. I asked my mum-in-law where he&#8217;d gone and she said he&#8217;d been out since 6 in the morning. If he wasn\u2019t home, then who was sleeping in his bed?<\/p>\n<p>When my husband came home, I told him what I saw and described &#8216;who&#8217; was on the bed \u2013 a tan-looking man of similar build to my father-in-law. My husband informed me a man in his 50s had passed away a few floors above us. Apparently, my husband had seen this thing too \u2013 it seems like the spirit lost its way and couldn\u2019t find its own home. We told our in-laws, they did some prayers, and everything was fine after that.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Whose footprints are those?<\/h3>\n<p>My husband (then boyfriend) and I had only begun dating when one of his relatives passed away. As we practise different religions, I was shocked to see his family dispersing powder on the ground. He explained that in doing so, we&#8217;d be able to see the footsteps of the dead. I didn&#8217;t think much about it, but when I woke up the next morning and saw footprints, I was absolutely mortified. I had to make my husband swear it wasn\u2019t him goofing around! It\u2019s been almost a decade yet I still can\u2019t get that image out of my mind.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Polaroid phantom<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_240125\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-240125\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-240125 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-polaroid-camera-900x643.png\" alt=\"singapore ghost stories | polaroid camera\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-polaroid-camera-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-polaroid-camera-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-polaroid-camera.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-240125\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Marco Xu via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It was our colleague&#8217;s last day and we all huddled together for a Polaroid shot. But what we saw had us completely frozen. There were four of us, and as the photo developed, we noticed an additional figure \u2013 a spirit dangling over our friend&#8217;s shoulders! She was so traumatised that she took some time off work to calm down. We have since developed a phobia of taking Polaroids and seven years later, it still haunts me.<\/p>\n<h3>11. The TV episode<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279121\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279121\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-279121 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-watching-tv-900x643.png\" alt=\"singapore ghost stories | watching tv\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-watching-tv-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-watching-tv-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-watching-tv.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-279121\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Jonas Leupe via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My husband and I were alone at home chilling in our room when we noticed from under the door a shadow pacing back and forth. It didn\u2019t bother me at first. I thought my in-laws were home until I received a call from my mum-in-law and realised we were indeed the only ones there. I freaked out and opened the door but there was no one. I noticed that the TV was on and decided to turn it off. But then I felt someone sit beside me on the sofa and could see the dent it made on the seat. Not wanting to scare myself more, I calmly turned off the TV and ran into the room. I told my husband what happened and he said he saw something walking around too. Everything went back to normal after that but I always wondered who it was&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>12. The heartland haunting<\/h3>\n<p>Woodlands is known for its haunted HDB building (Block 852), which was once empty for the longest time. Years ago, my cousin moved to the neighbourhood and unknowingly stayed near the haunted block. Things soon took a weird turn. The television would switch on without warning, but the family brushed it off.<\/p>\n<p>During the first night of the seventh month, he was sleeping alone in his room when he woke up in the middle of the night after hearing a weird noise. He saw a ghost with extremely long hair and black eyes spinning with the ceiling fan and staring at him. He tried to shout for help but wasn\u2019t able to make a sound. Feeling helpless, he started praying and the ghost finally disappeared when he opened his eyes. From then on, that room was left empty until the family moved out.<\/p>\n<h3>13. Of cats and car parks<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_240126\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-240126\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-240126 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-black-cat-900x643.png\" alt=\"singapore ghost stories | black cat\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-black-cat-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-black-cat-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-black-cat.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-240126\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Rachel Sandu via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once, I returned home past midnight and saw a cat outside the car park. I stopped to pet it, then continued heading home. Throughout the walk, a rancid, pungent poop smell dogged me. I thought I had stepped on dog poop, so I didn\u2019t think much about it, especially since the smell disappeared when I was in my room.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to the next morning, when my late dad told me I brought back something \u2018dirty\u2019 because it took a liking to him and sat on his bed till dawn. I had checked on my dad when I got home, so the \u2018thing\u2019 that followed me apparently stayed in his room to \u2018admire\u2019 him until he got rid of it. He got up to say the call of prayer and chased it away.<\/p>\n<h3>14. Goodbye, my lover<\/h3>\n<p>I had a boyfriend who died, but I didn\u2019t get to say goodbye before he passed on. A few days after that, I was walking home from the gym. Suddenly, I smelled his favourite cigarettes. When I entered the lift, the smell grew stronger as if he was beside me, like old times. I instinctively called his name and the emergency bell rang. When the door opened, I ran out. The smell followed me until the point where he used to stop to kiss me goodbye and send me off.<\/p>\n<h3>15.

The moment I entered my room, I felt a strange vibe but chalked it up to exhaustion. Come bedtime, I slept on the bed closer to the door. I typically keep the TV on when sleeping (it acts as a white noise machine and nightlight), so I was a little wary when I woke up a few hours later in a silent, dark room. I was facing the door, but I had this feeling someone was on the other bed.<\/p>\n<p>When I switched on the light and turned around, I saw a girl sitting upright on it. I screamed and the girl&#8217;s neck moved 90 degrees, screaming along with me. Instantly, I ran out of my room and spent the rest of the trip with another crew member. That&#8217;s not the weirdest part, though. When I was showering, I noticed a scratch mark on my back that stung a little.<\/p>\n<h3>16.

I heard three loud knocks on the main door, each time around 2am to 3am. I looked through the peephole but saw nobody. This came and went for days. So one day, when the knocking happened again, I recorded a video. No one was there, but on playback, I could hear someone laughing\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>17.

It wasn&#8217;t uncommon to hear keyboards typing away at empty desks or see the printer activated when no one was near it. But nothing spooked me as much as this incident. It was 3am and a handful of us were preparing for a business pitch in our conference room. As it was dead silent, we heard the chuckles of a young child before we saw a little girl in a red dress running across the hall and disappearing off into the wall. Needless to say, we all decided it was time to call it a day.<\/p>\n<h3>18. Who\u2019s in the shower?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279119\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279119\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-279119 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-woman-showering-900x643.png\" alt=\"singapore ghost stories | woman showering\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-woman-showering-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-woman-showering-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/singapore-ghost-stories-woman-showering.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-279119\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Robbie via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While on a hotel staycation with my friends, I wanted to have an early night and was about to go to sleep when I heard someone shuffle around in the toilet. I was alone in the room, but the shower head turned on by itself. Immediately, I bolted to my friend\u2019s room and only returned the next morning to pack my things.<\/p>\n<h3>19. Holiday from hell<\/h3>\n<p>My mum was on Skype with my sister and her family while they were holidaying in Malaysia. As my sister took her on a tour of their spacious villa, my mum caught sight of something on the ceiling beams and pointed it out to my sister. But she couldn\u2019t see anything odd and ignored my mum. Not wanting to scare my sister, my mum held her peace. It was only when they got back that my mum explained she had seen a creepy dark figure on the beams overlooking the family room. Even stranger, my sister said she was \u2018disturbed\u2019 in the night by a creepy figure that was on top of her!<\/p>\n<h3>20. What NOT to do during Hungry Ghost Festival<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_222166\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-222166\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-222166 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/temple-joss-stick-offerings.png\" alt=\"temple joss sticks | hungry ghost festival\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/temple-joss-stick-offerings.png 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/temple-joss-stick-offerings.png 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-222166\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Chinh Le Duc via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Like a total newb, I was absolutely fascinated by the offerings around Telok Ayer during my first Hungry Ghost Festival in Singapore. Like a total fool, I took photos of an offering and Instagrammed it. I even hashtagged it. Even worse, I did it at home late at night when I was the only person awake. Out of nowhere, I heard the sound of little bells jingling \u2013 as if a cat with bells on its collar was coming from our back door and down the hallway. But we don\u2019t have a cat. And there was nothing there.<\/p>\n<p>For months, the door of a particular room in our apartment would lock from the inside. I\u2019d hear the sound of a ball bouncing in my kids\u2019 room at night (while they were asleep!). Sometimes, I\u2019d feel as if a child was by my side. But when I looked down expecting to see my toddler, nobody was there.<\/p>\n<h3>21. A man left behind<\/h3>\n<p>This happened to a few members of my family. We were on a staycation at a resort in Sentosa and it was late at night. Almost everyone was asleep except for a few night owls. When my cousin popped by the pantry to get a glass of water, he looked out the window and saw a strange sight on Siloso Beach. It was a ghostly aberration of a man wearing a Japanese army uniform, clutching his rifle and staring in his direction.<\/p>\n<h3>22. Things that move in the night<\/h3>\n<p>At the museum where I used to work, there was a small space in one of the exhibition rooms. It was always pitch dark but had a small table with office chairs for us to chill. My colleagues and I sat around the table one evening, and I was so engrossed with my phone I didn\u2019t realise they\u2019d left.<\/p>\n<p>A few minutes later, I heard an office chair rolling (it was as though someone just got off the chair). I looked up and saw the table starting to levitate a teeny bit. I bolted before thinking. The worst part? I left my phone charger in the room and had to go back to retrieve it (not alone, of course!).<\/p>\n<h3>23. Pontianak\u2019s perfume<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_222213\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-222213\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-222213 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/pink-flower.png\" alt=\"pink flower\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/pink-flower.png 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/pink-flower.png 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-222213\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: marco mameli via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I had to pop into the office to run an errand on a Saturday. As I was packing my stuff, I caught a sudden whiff of perfume. It was a strong, sickly-sweet floral scent as if somebody was standing beside me. But there was nobody around and the AC was switched off. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I left quickly after.<\/p>\n<p>In Malay urban legends, unexplained floral scents are associated with the presence of a pontianak, or vampiric female spirit. Was it a supernatural encounter? Who knows. It definitely gave me the chills, though.<\/p>\n<h3>24. Unwelcome bed buddies<\/h3>\n<p>I was sleeping at my aunt\u2019s place and dreamt that an old man was lying on top of me. I kept wanting to erase that thought and dream of something else. But when I woke up in the morning, there was this crushing weight on my chest that was getting heavier by the minute. I started panicking and screaming but nobody heard me. I tried making the sign of the cross (I\u2019m Catholic) but I couldn\u2019t move my arms. I said, \u201cgo away!\u201d and after a few minutes, the blanket lightened. The craziest part? The same thing happened to my mum!<\/p>\n<h3>25. Spirits in the lift<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_240128\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-240128\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-240128 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-old-elevator-900x643.png\" alt=\"singapore ghost stories | old elevator\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-old-elevator-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-old-elevator-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/singapore-ghost-stories-old-elevator.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-240128\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Diego Fernandez via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This happened to me during the Hungry Ghost Festival. Walking past an altar, I briefly wondered why it had offerings of Yakult, toys and biscuits. Then, I remembered these offerings were meant to appease spirits. During an afternoon nap on the same day, I had a vivid dream about two kids trailing behind me as I was walking home. \u201cHelp us, help us\u201d, they repeated in unison. I remember telling them, \u201cI can\u2019t help you and I don\u2019t know what you want. Please go home.\u201d They disappeared and I entered the lift alone\u2026 or so I thought.<\/p>\n<p>As the lift began its ascent, two ghostly faces stared at me through a reflection on the glass. They looked normal, except for one thing: They had no legs! When I arrived home, they stopped at the door. They couldn\u2019t enter because I had a feng shui bagua mirror (a pentagon-shaped symbol believed to ward off negative energy). \u201cLet us come in. We have unfinished business. Please help us so we can move on,\u201d they pleaded. Exasperated, I said, \u201cI can\u2019t help you, leave me alone!\u201d They disappeared, and I woke up from my nap. Till today, I avoid breaking any seventh month superstitions. Just in case.<\/p>\n<h3>26.

One of its chimes stopped working when he passed away. But shortly after his death anniversary, the clock started chiming every quarter of the hour. No one knows why or how.<\/p>\n<h3>27. Sleep paralysis\u2026 or was it?<\/h3>\n<p>This happened to my brother. It was a Saturday morning and he came into my room asking, \u201cDid you wash your feet when you came home last night?\u201d He said something had disturbed him the night before. When he was sleeping, he felt a weight on his body and as his eyes drifted open, he saw a figure with long hair sitting on his body and looking right at him.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, he said it might have been a nightmare but he wasn\u2019t sure. In a Malay household, it\u2019s believed if you don\u2019t wash your feet when you come home, you\u2019re inviting bad spirits into your house.<\/p>\n<h3>28. What\u2019s up with the washing machine?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_222219\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-222219\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-222219 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/laundry-machine.png\" alt=\"laundry machine\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/laundry-machine.png 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/laundry-machine.png 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-222219\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Sana Saidi via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I was in my brand new condo along East Coast Road. I loaded laundry into my new washing machine and left the building. However, when I came home, not only was the washing machine still running, but it had turned 180 degrees around in its cubby and was now \u2018back to front\u2019. I was convinced someone had broken in to play tricks on me, but the CCTV confirmed nobody had entered or left the building. And mine was the only apartment occupied at that time. The mystery was never solved!<\/p>\n<h3>29. The \u2018silver surfer\u2019 visitor<\/h3>\n<p>I was eight years old when this incident happened in an HDB flat&#8230; at Yishun, of all places. On some nights, my family would pull out our mattresses, pillows and blankets for movie marathons and sleepovers in our living room. One time, I woke up in the middle of the night facing the room doors and saw a white Silver Surfer-lookalike floating from one room to another. I freaked out! Unsure if I had really seen a ghost, I shut my eyes tight and tried to lull myself back to sleep.<\/p>\n<h3>30.

We\u2019d heard stories, but we didn\u2019t think in our wildest dreams they would happen to us. We asked for a non-smoking room. However, the moment I walked in, I felt like cigarette smoke blew right in my face. It seemed like someone was smoking in the room\u2026 but there was no one. Strangely, my wife couldn\u2019t smell anything.<\/p>\n<p>At night, we were unable to sleep. There was a general uneasiness we couldn\u2019t explain. After 3am, my wife woke me up. She saw a pair of eyes and a shadowy figure in the mirror next to my side of the bed. And it was looking down at me sleeping. Needless to say, we packed our bags in a flash and within minutes we\u2019d bolted out the door and checked out, stopping by a Chinese temple downstairs. I remembered my mother\u2019s advice and went in to say a prayer. The priest took one look at me and said, \u201cYou saw something dirty, something evil!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Creeped out yet?
