Admit it: we just love being scared half out of our wits, and the notion of going on a tour of a haunted house is exciting in so many ways. We’ve already shared some spooky Korean destinations on our blog, but sometimes, the scariest places can be right outside your door. And while you may already be familiar with some of these scary local ‘haunts, that doesn’t mean they’re not worth another visit.
Let’s make your next staycation a harrowing horrorday – right here in Singapore.
Spooky Singapore
Go On A Ghost Walk
Take a walk through a nature reserve… that used to be a fort! Previously known as Fort Pasir Panjang, there have been reports of hearing soldiers marching, heads flying, people screaming and the local pontianak vampire haunting at what is now known as Labrador Nature Reserve. Get in touch with the folks at Ghost Files Singapore to find out when their next trip will be, or you can also arrange for a team-building activity and see which of your office-mates are the biggest scaredy cats!
A Spooky Tour of Singapore With The Asia Paranormal Investigators (API)
The API guys say that the purpose of their tours is not to scare participants, but rather to debunk Singapore’s myths and urban legends. But how can you not be creeped out when their tours might include visits to the “village of the dead” in the middle of a forest near Bukit Brown Cemetery, an abandoned house said to be built over a tomb and the old Changi Commando Barracks.
Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Singapore
If you want to be terrified but don’t have the courage to meet any real ghosts, get to Universal Studios Singapore for some spectacular scares! In addition to your friendly neighbourhood stuff of nightmares, you’ll also encounter twisted versions of normally amiable characters like the Easter Bunny and Humpty Dumpty. Be careful not to wander around alone – you might just bump into a spooky character in the park.. but not a ghost – right…?
