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

Think Sun Ho’s Makeup Is Scary? Here Are 10 SG-Themed Costumes That Are EVEN Scarier!

It’s Halloween and while most of us won’t be dressing up for this spooky occasion, some of us might get invited to some awesome Halloween parties. While ghouls and ghosts are pretty creepy, it doesn’t beat these 10 truly terrifying Singaporean themed Halloween costumes.

You’ve been warned. These costumes might just give you nightmares.

1. Walking ERP

Drivers and riders will take one look at you and turn as pale as a white parking fine. Don’t blame us if no one wants to stand near you!

2. “You Need A Very Small Space To Have Sex.”

With HDBs shrinking and property prices climbing, this might actually come true. Bad side? You’re going to have trouble walking around!

3. All ‘C’ Report Card

A nightmare for all Singaporean students, going home with an all ‘C’ report card is akin to dragging your family name through the mud. Remember the literal and figurative lashings you received? Yes. OUCH.

4. Being Single During Big Family Occasions

Nothing is more annoying and slightly hurtful than when some super kpo auntie corners you during Chinese New Year/Hari Raya/ Family Wedding and asks the most awful question you will ever be asked in your life.

5. Song Joong Ki Getting Married

Singapore’s favourite flower boy getting married?! You can actually hear the distant sound of fan girls fainting at the mere utterance of that. Don’t be surprised if girls start openly weeping when they see you.

6. Stuck With Giant Stuff Toys

A guy’s worst nightmare. Thinking you bought cute little Snorlax stuff toys for your girlfriend/wife to find you purchased A GIANT Snorlax stuff toy and now your girlfriend/wife is threatening to go back to her mother’s house. Yeah, like i said NIGHTMARE.

7. Trump For Singapore’s President

Need we say more?

8. Owning And Using A Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Phone

Owning an exploding phone? You’re either incredibly brave or incredible loyal. We’ll let you decide.

9. Hire Me PLEASE

Bachelor’s degree? Check. Awesome resume that highlights all your achievements and personal traits? Check. Been jobless for 6 months? CHECK.

10. ‘I Live In Yishun’

Minimal effort with maximum spook potential? This costume is perfect for you! Be warned, do not wear this outfit in front of someone who actually does live in Yishun.

With these 10 Singaporean themed halloween costumes, you’re bound to get some hearts racing. And if no one faints from fear, at least you’ll definitely be the spotlight of the party!
