Singapore is as bright and beautiful as any other big European city, testament to its resilience and spirit to thrive. The neon lights can’t hide its dark, and sometimes downright spooky, past filled with war crimes, twisty and murderous roads and tragic suicides en mass. Ghost hunters will find Singapore to be full of lore and legend, and extracting the facts and evidence will be their challenge. Gather all your ghost hunting equipment and do your best to find the ghosts of Singapore.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Check out the spiral staircase in the National Museum. The story goes that the building was formerly a monastery, and visitors claim to see priestly apparitions coming down the staircase. Guests also claim to feel as though they are being tripped or pushed by unseen forces near the stairway! Due to all the paranormal activity there, the staircase is now closed off, but try to take some photos and see if you find a spectral priest. Purchase your museum tickets online at the link provided below.

  2. Step 2
     

    Go ghost hunting in the old Changi Hospital. This is a well-known haunted location checked out by the local paranormal society in Singapore. The building has a lot of history including a connection with World War II and the torturous treatment of prisoners of war here. There are lots of places to check out here so click on the link in the Resources below to hear more from the Singapore Paranormal Investigations here.

  3. Step 3
     

    Make a vigil at the Bukit Brown Cemetery. This ornate gem, also known as Kopi Hill, is filled with weird energy and a really spooky atmosphere. The story goes that the government may “relocate” the tombs here, as land is at a premium in this part of the world--so make your trip there now to see if you can find some spirits before they become disgruntled!

  4. Step 4

    Walk around Fort Canning. This fort was named and put into commission in the mid 1800s and was not only a military fort but a bit of a cemetery as well! Try some EVP work (electronic voice phenomenon) in the old Battle Box.

  5. Step 5

    Stop at Devil’s Bend, a well-known haunted location surrounded by lore and legends. Located on Old Thomson Road, this curvy road is the sight of plenty of fatal accidents. Locals claim that orbs and an oppressive feeling are present here, which makes this spot worth checking out.

    Take a cruise over to Galang Island. This is the location of so much grief and torment that it’s no wonder it’s haunted! Once a Vietnamese refugee camp and home to great crimes against humanity, many refugees committed suicide or were killed under questionable conditions. There was a mass suicide when refugees were told they were going to be sent back to Vietnam, and the over 500 graves pay tribute to their sorrow. Ghostly happenings occur around the “Body Tree” where people hung themselves and orbs appear here on nighttime photos. Do some EVP work here as well. Follow the link provided below for ferry information and tours.
