In recent years, Bedok Reservoir has become infamous due to a number of suicide cases that took place here, particularly between 2011 to 2012. 

In fact, the Government also organised an inter-religious blessing ceremony to cleanse the area. Eight religious leaders from different faith groups took turns to bless the area. Unfortunately, on the morning of the blessing ceremony, a sixth body was found.

Today, there are signs displaying the numbers of 24-hour crisis hotlines around the area. 

Old Changi Hospital is probably one of Singapore’s most famous spooky spots. With its long corridors, rundown and empty rooms, it’s really the perfect place for a good scare. 

The hospital was built in 1935 by the British colonial government. It was part of the military base camp. However, the grounds were seized by Japanese troops in 1942 and used as a holding ground for prisoners of war.

However, part of the building was still being used as a medical facility for war casualties and injured military personnel. The area was also being used by Japanese military police, who were infamous for their brutal torture techniques. In fact, there are rumours that there were torture chambers in the hospital.

When the Japanese gave up the hospital, it was converted into the Royal Air Force (RAF) Hospital Changi and then later into Anzuk Hospital, UK Military Hospital, Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Hospital, and finally, Changi Hospital. 

However, considering the layout of the hospital which proved difficult, the space eventually ceased operations in 1997. 

The building has now been overtaken by greenery, decay, and vandalism. Do practise caution if you decide to try visiting this spot. 

Neo Tiew Estate was built in 1979 to honour a businessman, Neo Ao Tiew, who was heavily involved in building the Lim Chu Kang area. 

When the Japanese invaded in 1942, Neo was involved in defending Kranji and Lim Chu Kang. However, when it looked like it was a sure-win for the Japanese, Neo fled to China to avoid persecution. Unfortunately, 45 of his family members were massacred by the Japanese. 

Formerly known as Lim Chu Kang Rural Centre, the small estate had residential blocks, a wet market and a playground. 

By 2002, most of the residents who had previously lived in Lim Chu Kang had moved to Jurong and Chua Chu Kang under the En-Bloc scheme.

With the area empty, the SAF decided to use it to train their soldiers. At that point, it was still open to the public with certain areas cordoned off for safety. 

However, over the years, rumours began circulating that the area was haunted and that supernatural creatures could be seen in the estate. 

Today, Neo Tiew Estate is out of bounds to the public but you can still pass by it on bus service 975. 

Also known as Istana Menanti, the Matilda House is one of three famous haunted coloured houses that you can find on our island. 

The land was initially purchased in the late 19th century by a wealthy Eurasian family, the Cashins. Joseph William Cashin had purchased a number of land plots and built the house in 1902 as a gift to his wife, Josephine Matilda Cashin.

The house was glorious with six bedrooms, raised floors and entrances at both ends. The house also has a horse stable, a tennis court, servant quarters and an orchard surrounding it.

When Singapore went through land acquisitions in the 1980s, the Cashin family were evicted from Matilda House. 

Due to financial difficulties, the development of that land was delayed by almost a decade. However, during that time, villagers began to report sightings of a lady with long hair appearing to be guarding the home. 

In fact, there are rumours that three construction workers mysteriously died after their involvement during a scheduled demolition for Matilda House in the past. 

Over the years, surrounding forests have been cleared to make way for Punggol Town but the house continues to remain an iconic landmark. 

When the building was given conservation status by the Urban Redevelopment Authority, it was converted into a clubhouse for a condominium. While spiritual masters also visited the house, the lights in the clubhouse are simply never switched off for safety reasons till today.
