5 Places In Singapore So Eerie That You’ll Have Nightmares Just Exploring These Places

Halloween isn’t just about fun Halloween themed parties and terrifying movies (even though that’s a huge part of it!), it’s also the best time to do some exploring! Despite Singapore only being 51 years old, our tiny island is already full of scary stories and urban legends. While most of these places have been redeveloped or fenced up. We’ve complied the top 5 creepy places which are oddly picturesque and can still be explored!

Disclaimer: Some of these places are open to the public while some are not. Be careful when it comes to exploring!

1. Tanglin Hill Brunei Hostel

First built to protect Singapore’s then bustling port, Fort Serapong is located within Sentosa. But unlike Fort Siloso which has been well maintained, Fort Serapong is off the beaten track which makes it a lot less accessible. Be extra careful when exploring Fort Serapong, due to the rusty metal present  and overgrown flora you might just trip and fall if you aren’t careful!

Spook factor: While not as creepy as the other spots, Fort Serapong is more like a historical spot. But seeing how it’s pretty far from any other main roads and walkways, there’s an eerie silence that overwhelms this spot.

4. Lim Chu Kang Jetty

Lim Chu Kang Jetty may not be creepy at first sight, I mean how creepy can a jetty be right? Very, according to some sources who have made their way to this quiet spot. If you’re exploring the are you might catch a glimpse of an old white structure. Also known as The Cashin House, it’s now gated so you won’t be able to go exploring inside but just making your way around Lim Chu Kang Jetty you can feel the hairs stand on the back of your neck!

Spook Factor: Creepy house that no one has lived in? Check. Quiet jetty where no one can hear you scream? Double check.

5. St John Island

Feel On Top Of The World: 12 Bridges In Singapore That’ll Sweep You Off Your Feet

‘Cos I’m top of the world eh, I’m on top eh~

Now that we’ve got the song stuck in your head (great song by Imagine Dragons BTW), let’s talk a little about bridges.

We may not seem like a bridge-y country, but you’ll be surprised by the wide range of bridges we have in Singapore. From overlooking lush greenery to taking in a gorgeous sunset view, we present you a list of 12 bridges with amazeballs view.

1. MacRitchie Tree Top

If you’re a nature lover, you’re gonna love this one. Overlooking the MacRitchie Reservoir Park, this 250m long suspension bridge is naturally one of the most insta-documented bridge. Located between the two highest points in MacRitchie, you’re guaranteed to have a bird’s eye view of the canopy.

MacRitchie Tree Top
Location: 601 Island Club Rd, S578775

2. Southern Ridges

It may be a little less well-known, but this Forest Walk gives you a panoramic view of the greenery. This 1.3km long elevated bridges makes a good option for those looking for a stroll or some fresh air.

A stranger to almost none, this Henderson Waves Bridge is best known for its uh, waves? Currently Singapore’s highest pedestrian bridge, 36 metres above ground,you can often, in its waves, find exhausted trekkers seeking some protection from the sun. This bridge can also serve as quite the romantic date spot.

Henderson Waves
Enter from Telok Blangah Hill Park or Mount Faber Park.

4. OCBC Skyway

At 22 metres off the ground, you get to enjoy the panoramic view of the Marina Bay skyline (which gets really awesome after the sun sets). A mishmash of an urban and nature setting, a stroll along this bridge is nonetheless an interesting one.

OCBC Skyway
Location: 10 Bayfront Ave, S018956

5. Fort Siloso Skywalk

If you love skywalks, you’re gonna love this new kid on the block. Situated at Fort Siloso, this 11-storey high bridge is currently Singapore’s tallest skywalk. Embark on this scenic trek along this glass-bottomed bridge (at one part) and we guarantee you a unique experience. But if you’re deathly afraid of heights, we’d suggest for you to sit this one out.

Fort Siloso Skywalk
Location: Sentosa, Fort Siloso

6. Jewel Bridge

Hidden within Punggol Park is the lesser known Jewel Bridge, a pit stop for many of its resident joggers and cyclists. If you’re looking for a place to catch the perfect sunset, this bridge is definitely one of them.

Jewel Bridge
Location: Along Punggol Park Connector

7. Helix Bridge

A sight familiar to the city-dwellers, the Helix Bridge itself is an architectural vision. A curve-y bridge never fails to fascinate, we reckon the best time to take in the view of Marina Bay will be against the backdrop of the setting sun. If not, the night-lights at Marina Bay will also do the view justice.

This bridge is one of Singapore’s best kept secrets – the Lions Bridge that links Gardens By The Bay to Marina Bay Sands. From here, you have a bird’s eye view of the Singapore Flyer, almost the whole of Gardens by the Bay (including those domes), Marina Barrage, Marina Bay Sands (both interior and exterior), the CBD, and Bayfront Ave Road (if watching cars zoom past is your thing).

It’s particularly beautiful at night – trees line the pavement, there’s warm cosy lighting for ambience, and little wooden benches where you can sit and enjoy the view and breeze.

Lions Bridge
Location: Gardens by the Bay/ Marina Bay Sands

9. St John – Lazarus Walkway

Though technically not a bridge, this walkway connecting St John Island and Lazarus Island offers nothing less than an amazing view. We’d even go so far to say that the islands’ endless crystal clear waters are capable of giving Maldives’s beach a run for its money.

St John – Lazarus Walkway
Location: St John Island/Lazarus Island

10. Cavenagh Bridge

Built in 1870, the Cavenagh Bridge is no doubt one of the oldest bridges in Singapore. Located across the Singapore River, this bridge is named after William Orfeur Cavenagh, the last governor of the Straits Settlements. Situated in front of The Fullerton Hotel, this bridge gives you a splendid view of the majestic colonial building and the Singapore river itself.

Cavenagh Bridge
Location: 1 Fullerton Square, S049178

11. Railway Bridge

Another bridge well documented across various social media platforms, the Railway Bridge may be a little tricky in terms of access. But trust us, the view is worth the climb. With its indescribable charm, this rustic location will evoke a sense of appreciative nostalgic in you in no time.

Railway Bridge
Location: 380 Upper Bukit Timah Road

12. Sentosa Suspension Bridge

So who says you need to be on top of the world to feel like it, eh? The amazing views you can enjoy at these 12 unique bridges will prove that height isn’t everything.

[caption id="attachment_15707" align="alignnone" width="630"] Source: The Smart Local[/caption]

Did you know that Singapore is actually part of an archipelago? Singapore is made up of 63 islands with both natural and artificial islands. Well-known islands include Sisters island, Kusu island and St Johns island.

Some of these islands are accessible by boat and will make for a nice relaxing day trip. However, pack your own food as most of them don’t have food places. An excuse to have a nice romantic picnic!

There are also lagoons around some of the islands where you and your date can take a dip and chill.
