Singapore Where Got Ghost?

The Neighbourhood Ghost Watch

This story contains audio commentaries.

Have you ever had an encounter which you could not explain? Have you ever had weird experiences that you simply brushed off? Join us as we hear from people who have encountered something strange and lived to tell the tale.

The following stories were submitted to Supernatural Confessions, a platform where people recount their ghostly encounters. Heading the team is Eugene Tay, author of Supernatural Confessions - You Are Not Alone. While he initially wrote the book to seek closure with his brush with the supernatural, he was surprised when his book received an overwhelming response from others who experienced their own fair share of hauntings. Today, the site has become a refuge for people to tell their stories and seek help for their supernatural encounters. Most of these confessions have never been disclosed to the public. Until now.

What’s going on in your neighbourhood?

To Eugene, supernatural encounters are not just hearsay. They are not stories that are told for dramatics. These confessions are words he heard from real people, most of whom had first-hand experience with something supernatural. Hear about the things Eugene has heard over the years and a little about his own experiences:

CHAPTER two: TYPES OF GHOSTS

We may be more familiar with certain supernatural entities in Asia. The ones which you have heard of are those that have been popular in mainstream media, and are often hot favourites during the spooky season. However, just as Asia is a diverse continent, so are the types of supernatural entities that populate it.

This story is written in partnership with Eugene Tay and Supernatural Confessions.

About Supernatural Confessions

Supernatural Confessions was founded by Eugene Tay in 2014, when he began working on his first book of the series. After the book was published, Eugene received emails and calls from strangers who had similar personal encounters but had no one to turn to. Supernatural Confessions became an unofficial platform - like a halfway house - for people who had experienced supernatural encounters to find support among each other.
