My mum's second contribution

Back in the 80s, my mum rented a shop space in Orchard Plaza, 4th floor in one of the corners. I have always loved visiting the shop after school for many reasons. I’d stay late till the shop closes and go home with mum. One thing I’ve noticed but never really bothered about it was that her staff (BTW they’re all females) always never go to the ladies toilet on the 4th floor. I thought, maybe that toilet was ridiculously dirty and thought no further.

Eventually the shop had to close down and my mum finally revealed the story to me about the 4th floor ladies toilet (She didn’t want to scare me unnecessarily). Most of her staff had sighted “something unnatural” but nobody wanted to talk about it. They would normally tell those who have not experienced it personally “Do not use, toilet not clean” but no details were shared. Those who didn’t believe it, would go but came back with the same advice to share with new staff or those who don’t know. My mother has not experienced anything so far because she has decided to play it safe and use other floor toilets.

This arrangement worked fine until one night. My mum was all alone in the shop, almost closing time. She had been tolerating a tummy ache for a long time already and she could not hold it back any longer. As she didn’t want to risk losing any customers, she decided to try the nearer 4th floor toilet, finish off and run back to the shop.

With an open mind (She’s still a skeptic of supernatural stuff despite her earlier experience with the black cat mentioned in an earlier episode), she ran to the toilet. When she was near the door, she had a very unnatural feeling (Raised goosebumps, hair standing etc..) but still determined to stick to the gameplan of go in, bomb and run out. As she went in, there was a lady standing right at the last wash basin in the toilet. She had long hair and was looking at the mirror, applying lipstick but in a weird, repeated circular manner. This lady was a total stranger (My mum is very sociable and practically knows everybody working on the same level) but my mum didn’t have any more time (Or tolerance) to even bother further.

She ran into the cubicle, finished her business in quick time and got out of the cubicle. The lady in white is still there! Applying her lipstick in that same weird manner. As my mum rushed to the taps to wash her hands (There was only 3 wash basins in that row and the lady was not too far away), in the corner of her eye, she thought she saw the lady turn her head towards her! Quickly she muttered in mandarin “I did not cause you any harm, or participated in any of your personal grievances. Please do not harm or scare me.” My mum then slowly turned her head towards where the lady once stood……

The lady was gone. There was no way that lady could have walked past my mum and exit the door without my mum knowing. My mum, although was already frightened (Being a very curious person), went to check out the other cubicles (They were all empty) before leaving the toilet. When my mum emerged from the toilet, the food stall owner told my mum “This toilet very “dirty” and cannot use! Next time use the toilet downstairs. When I saw you rushing inside, I was so worried for you and actually wanted to get a few people to go inside the toilet together if you didn’t come out soon.” My mum said she saw “someone” inside and asked if the food stall owner saw that “someone” coming out a while ago. The food stall owner replied “The only person I saw going in and coming out from the toilet was you.”

After this incident, my mum started believing in supernatural stuff, and no, she never went back into that toilet ever again.

Haunted school in Bishan

A story shared by my colleague, Ling.


It was 6.30pm and we were close to the end of the school day. We had gathered in the assembly ground, awaiting to sing the school anthem before official dismissal. Then suddenly there was a very distinct scream coming from the technical block. The scream was piercingly loud and was repeated “Help me!”

Naturally many students looked up to see what is happening, including myself. We couldn’t see the source of the scream but suddenly the technical building block changed colour to dark red. Students & teachers all witnessed this phenomenon. The principal then swiftly assembled us, and dismissed us in a quick, fuss free manner.

This may seem unbelievable but anyone who had studied in Whitley Secondary School in 1994, would have seen this phenomenon with their own eyes.

Are they really able to see them?

Just a very short story today. My grandma suffered from cancer for a long time. She was in great pain but put on a very brave front when she sees us during our regular weekend visit. During one of the weekday evenings, my uncle called my dad and it was definitely an urgent call because we went right away to my uncle’s place after the call.

My grandma told us that she has many visitors earlier. None of them are familiar but they were all carrying lit torches and telling her to prepare for the journey as it is “almost time”. My dad told her not to worry as it was probably the medicine that made her hallucinate (Knowing my dad very well, he is saying that to calm her down). We visited her every evening after that but less than a week later, my grandma succumbed to cancer and passed away. Before my grandma passed away, she told us that the visitors came everyday….

Ok since I’m back something to share about just yesterdays incident.

Yesterday while I was driving home from a BBQ in Punggol at around 4am, I passed through Clementi Ave 3.

I stopped at the junction and caught a glimpse of this girl in white amongst the trees and as you all know, guys like to see girls especially those with long hair and we would drive past, and turn our heads to see if she’s good looking.

I recall very clearly that she was standing there facing me but I couldn’t really see the face as it looks like a blank to me from a distance ( that means no facial features!). While I was driving past the trees, i turned my head to take a closer look but the girl disappeared. I slowed down to confirm that she had walked past me but no one was there

This is not a scary experience that I’m trying to share but its a sighting and sometimes in order to see these things, we need not go to some haunted places to find them. They are living amongst us.

Encounter with a supernatural black cat

This story happens way back in the 60s and is shared by my mother.

My dad & mum used to live in kampong style house back then, in Pasir Panjang. They have lived in that house for quite a while without anything strange thing happening till one night. The time was 10pm + and my dad was fast asleep but my mother was restless, tossing and turning in bed. She turned to her side and looked at the door leading to the bedroom. An old man was standing at that door! My mother is a supernatural skeptic and does not believe in ghosts (At that point of time). Many thoughts had ran through her mind at this time. “That old man MUST be a robber!” she thought. She continued to stare at the old man, trying to figure his next move.

The old man seems to be walking towards my mum, and very obviously my mum at this point of time is frantically nudging for my dad to wake up. My dad must have been very tired then as my mother couldn’t successfully wake him. The old man continues to walk closer to their bed.My mum stared hard at the old man in anger (She still thinks he broke into their house). When the old man got much nearer to the bed, my mum realised that the old man’s eyes were actually bloodshot red in colour. It was at this exact moment, she realised that this wasn’t necessarily a human being that she has been staring at. Naturally she got frightened, used her blanket to cover her head while still shaking my dad, now with more force.

Some time had passed since she covered herself with a blanket. She took a peek and didn’t see anyone in the bedroom. She shook my dad again, he awoke and asked her what happened. My mum told him she saw someone in the house and they should check it out. My dad armed himself with something, in case it was a robber and they turned on all the lights in the house but didn’t find anything.However, they did discover a black cat standing behind a cupboard in the living room. My mum quickly opened the door, invited the cat out of the house and my parents checked every single corner of the house for possible entry points but all the windows were well shut & locked. After the cat went out of the house, neither of them saw anything extraordinary anymore and they had installed a barrier to prevent animals from coming into the house by accident.

Possibly my first supernatural encounter

This happened when I was 5-6 years old and there was this family & friends’ gathering in a chalet at East Coast Park. There was plenty of games, laughter till it was quite late. I remembered sleeping in the centre of the bed beside my mum and a family friend. When I awoke, I was sitting on the toilet bowl. When I asked my mum, she told me that I was sleepwalking. I didn’t think much of it till several years later when my mum refreshed my memory about that night.

Apparently it got very late and everyone went to sleep. When they woke, they found themselves waking up in different parts of the chalet. Some of the floor, bathtub, bathroom, chair…. Nobody knew what really happened. Mass sleepwalking? I think not!

Spirits residing in a KTV.

A contribution by Raymond.

Back then my father took over a KTV from a friend who was facing cash flow problem. The KTV was situated under Merxxxxn shopping centre. 1 night i forgot to knock on the door b4 entering the toilet as instructed by my mum. I dashed into the toilet as i was having a strong urge to relief myself to find the first cubicle door to "SLAM" itself as if some1 was evading my presence.

i didnt think that much and went ahead to relieve myself. After that i got curious and went to check that cubicle out.I gently pushed the cubicle door open and to worsen the freaking situation there was no 1 in it I left the cubicle door open and went to toilet door and opened it with force a few times to see if it was the air flow that caused the cubicle door to slam but nothing happened.

I quickly left the toilet and told my mum who replied that there were 3 harmless spirits 1 male 2 female lurking around the KTV. My mum and Dad had also agreed to acknowledge these 3 spirits as something like god sons through a medium. Sadly the Joint had to close as business was bad. But til now every 7th month, there will be a set of offering set aside for these 3 beings by my mum.
