Hahaha.. Does this man like to live on the edge? LOL. 'Someone took this picture at about 0545 this morning (24 March) at the junction of Bencoolen street and Bras Basah road.The man was taking a "joyride", hanging on to the back of the van.The van turned towards Cathay and Peace Centre, and the guy was swinging, hanging on for dear life.'

Wheee...! Cool Bus Fun System.

Bouncing MarblesI am a Singaporean. We live in flats. If you've never lived in flats (apartments), well let me tell you, it's quite noisy at times. Having neighbours all over the place. On top of you, below you and both sides of you. Ok, that is nothing peculiar but what I'm about to tell you is.
In the early mornings, around 2 or 3 am, I hear bouncing marbles above my apartment. That, to me, is strange. Which parents would allow their kids to play marbles at that hour? What is stranger is I'm not the only one who had experienced this. My friends have reported to hear the bouncing marbles too. So, what is this then? Is there some other explanation? I'm still perplexed.

Lost Soul at the Bus Stop There is a bus stop at Mount Vernon that I'm told is haunted. For non-Singapore residents, Mount Vernon is a road between two cemeteries. A Christian one, on one side, and a Muslim one, on the other.
Why I say it's haunted? Well, I've been in many taxis and when the drivers are talkative, they most likely will tell you this story when you ask them about ghostly encounters. They say, if you travel through mount Vernon Road between midnight and 4am - if you are lucky - you will see a beautiful young Malay mother with a baby in her arms.
One time, there was an ignorant taxi driver who happened to pick her up. She boarded the taxi and just pointed ahead without saying a word. So, the driver drove on ahead. After some minutes, he asked her where she wanted to go, but she just smiled and instructed him, with a hand gesture, to go straight ahead. Mount Vernon is a long stretched road and as the taxi approached the end of it, at the junction, he asked her, again, where exactly she wanted to go. She simply replied, "balik rumah"(going home). He was a little annoyed by her ambiguous reply and made his impatience felt with his next remark. He complaint. "Ya lah, lu mau balik rumah, mana lu punya rumah lu misti cakap lah, aiyah susah lah ini macam".(Yes, I know you want to go home but where the heck is your home? Gosh, you’re giving me a hard time!).
She was hurt and started sobbing. Feeling guilty, he apologised then asked her again, nicely that time, what her address was. She then asked to be taken back to the place she boarded his taxi.
The irate driver was furious and made an angry, sharp, U-turn and headed the other way back to the spot he picked her up from.
Busy nagging, he failed to realise that she was no longer seated in the back seat. When he did look in the mirror, he was horrified by her non-presence. Then, he smelt a sweet smelling scent of frangipani flower. (This flower is associated with death.) He was chilled to the bones with fear and sped off out of Mount Vernon Road all the way home. He never traveled along Mount Vernon Road after midnight anymore since the experience.
Other taxi drivers have also picked up the mother with a child but had different experiences with her. Some would realise immediately after she came aboard that she was a ghost, some would not even notice anything strange until they smelt a sweet scent – then on, a cool head is very necessary.

'I've done everything except LOSING!'. Means what? He wanna lose? OR He wants every car to race with him and make him the last car, lost in the last place, AND then he will say "I've done EVERYTHING" Including crash into the "longkang".

Life's bored jumping around trees and picked up nuts. Enjoy life.

MRT Ghost stories. From someone.

Bishan Depot - Used to be a Chinese graveyard before they dug up the place to build apartment buildings and the first train depot.
The resident - The Pontianak. Maybe even two of them.
Seen by several of my uncle's colleagues countless times. She loves to scare the men there. Was once seen up close by one of the guys - he described her as ugly, wrinkly face with red eyes. A few of them took their naps at the office and were woken up by her. One of the guys felt and found long scratch marks on his back. On another occasion, one of the guys was washing his car outside the office when suddenly the doors closed on its own and the engine turned on and off. Other times, two of them were seen flying in circles above the roof of one of the buildings within the depot. Been told by a security guard across the depot that they've seen the same ghost at another building.

The pontianaks are not the only residents. Apparently, there's a shape-shifter too! It takes after the appearance of anyone who works there. Can even imitate the person's voice. This was experienced by my own cousin who was there on a short part-time job. As he was leaving at around 4am, he cycled toward the entrance of the depot. He saw one of the security guards cycling ahead of him. My cousin caught up with him, said hi, overtook the security guard and sped off. By the time my cousin got to the security post at the entrance, guess who was standing there? The SAME security guard who was cycling behind him!!! Till today, my cousin doesn't know which was human, which was the ghost... In a separate account, one of the guys was doing his work on the tracks and heard his name being called. He recognized the voice. It was one of his co-workers. So he walked toward the voice, but there was nobody there. He thought someone was playing a joke on him. Later he asked the co-worker if he called for him. The co-worker swore he wasn't even at that site!

Yishun station - There was a suicide committed just a week ago. So far, no stories yet. But...
The Resident - an apparition of a small boy, around 5-7 years of age.
Cousin was doing track maintenance after midnite with his team, then went to the ground floor to find some policemen asking if he saw a young boy wearing white garment playing on the platform. Cousin said nobody had been on the platform - everyone else were on the tracks. Policemen said, several people living in the apts around the station saw and made complaints. And that was not the first time.

Tracks between Yio Chu Kang and Khatib - the area around Lentor Ave.
The Resident - Pontianak.
Spotted sitting on the tracks while the guys were on the locomotive. Not once, but many times. Off duty, my uncle has seen her too while driving south... and so did the passengers in his car. She was standing on the road divider. Uncle said that policemen went up to the track maintenance people one nite, asking if they saw a woman crossing the road. They didn't, but they knew what it was all about. Seemed that motorcar drivers called the police to complain of a woman wearing white crossing the road, as though trying to commit suicide. The area is the same where a Mercedes car accidentally drove up onto the tracks a few years ago. A lot of people speculate that the driver possibly saw and tried to avoid her.

Tracks between Woodlands and Kranji - Known to the maintenance people as one of the places to avoid, or, quickly get the work done and get out ASAP due to supernatural beings present at that place. Possibly, the pontianak again.

Admiralty station -
The Resident - Pontianak.
This happened before the station was opened and running. One of the station managers just had his dinner and threw his unfinished dinner into the large garbage container just outside the station. A few minutes later, one of the guys saw a pontianak at the container going thru the garbage. They later found out what she was after - his unfinished dinner of some bloody pork.


Tanah Merah station - Night shift station officers have complained that they have seen a huge, dark being walk up and down the escalator after midnite. There's also another being always sitting on the platform. They said it looked like an old man wearing some white garment.


Changi/Tanah Merah depot -
The Resident - Toyol
Not sure what the actual name of the depot is, but, Uncle showed me a photocopied photo of little footprints on the wall. Footprints of the toyol. Apparently the toyol had stepped on some grease and then walked UP the wall!! Don't know if the workers there complained of missing money, iPods, etc.


Raffles Place station - Known only to insiders that there is an "old man" present at the ends of the platforms after midnite.

Newton station - Night shift station officer thot he saw a being with long hair at the restroom.

Novena station - Not as haunted as it was before, but they still get the chills every now and then. Back then, one of my aunt's friends took a photo while the train stopped at Novena. Guess what was behind the glass panel? A skeletal hand!!! They swore they didn't see it there and then, not till the film was developed. I got to see the photo, but didn't have a scanner back then - was soooo long ago! Yep, was authentic.

Till today, the train drivers still see supernatural beings on the tracks! Why do you think the North-East trains are automated and have no human drivers. Oh yea, I also heard that there were a few problems while building the station at Bidadari cemetery... I can't really recall, but according to my aunt's relative who was working on exhuming the remains at the cemetery, they found a couple of corpses that were still intact after hundreds of years in the ground! In this kind of weather, can't be mummified... And, several times, the crane that was to dig the soil, overturned. The crane operator fell sick after that incident.
