For your reading pleasure...

Punggol Beach, World War II site
It is said that the place was indeed keras. Many have seen white apparitions flying across the road and hanging from the big trees at night. Some have even heard gun shots before. Anglers said that they have seen a man squatting near a tree. When approached, he vanished. Trees have been around since the World War II, each of them has their own penunggu.On 28th February 1942, some 400 Chinese civilians were, killed along the Punggol foreshore by kempetai firing squads.

East Coast Park's Bayshore Road Underpass

It is claimed to be haunted and is situated near the Bedok Jetty and Carpark E2. Many people who were walking alone in the underpass always noticed a second shadow walking beside them. Others felt 'someone' following them from behind, but when they turned around, there was nothing. There are sightings of a young 'girl' squatting against the wall in the far end of the underpass and would vanished into thin air if you approach her. People said one end of the underpass, the one leading to the sea, will always be dark, no matter what time is it or how good the lights are. See it for yourself.

East Coast Park's Bedok Jetty
People who have walked past the big tree situated there, would see a young girl on a swing. Many people have drowned near this jetty. On some nights, some anglers have seen a boy slipped over the fence and fall into the sea. The funny thing was, he didn't struggle or wave frantically. Instead he simply 'disappeared' into the waters, just like that.

Seletar River
Some people have see an ang moh guy with white hair, handsome, smart and very casual. If you turn your back and look at him, he's not actually walking, he is floating. Apparently it is quite common to see soldiers in British uniform near the Seletar River. In the past, an old lady had slipped and fell into the river. She was reported to have drowned but her corpse was never found. Many people have seen 'someone' struggling in the water and waving for help during rainy days, but would disappear after a few seconds.

Queensway KTM Quarters
There's a quarter or house there, that has a full-length grave, without the tombstone, "growing" out of nowhere. The grave literally took up nearly three-quarter of the living room. The grave wasn't there when the residents moved there five years ago. The grave began to grow slowly, started of as a small ant-hill and soon developed into a full, Muslim-like grave. The people there couldn't do anything about it. And since, the grave never gave them any problems of any kind, they decided to live with it. The only thing they had to bear in mind was not to step over the grave, simply to pay some respect to whoever is underneath it. The quarter is still there but locked.

Labrador Park
People have heard laughters coming from the right end of the Jetty.

MacRitchie Reservoir
It is rumoured that if you were to flick a coin into the reservoir and make a wish, it will come true. The chances of your wish coming true will be higher if the coin lands on the back of a tortoise. At the Lim Bo Seng Memorial, the narrow, long steps, are said to be 'unclean'.Joggers have complained incidents of twigs and small branches being hurled at them while running down these steps. When they looked up, they could see nothing but parts of the tree moving by itself.
