Expedition Date:
3rd November 2011
Location:
Junction of Adam Road Lornie Road. Opposite Singapore Island Country Club. Nearby private residence.
Entrance:
No breaking and entering no breaking the law its open for public. Just follow the graves by the side of the road in and turn left you can't miss the big gates. Lots of paranormal groups, thrill seekers and adventurers in the area at night but the place is big enough to get lost. Beware some tracks will take you way off course.
Overview:
It's an old Chinese cemetery almost a hundred years of history and source of spooks for generations. Sadly the place is scheduled to be taken over by the state for development.
The Mystery:
Is there a figure of a Sikh security guard, guarding the graves?
Do people go there to pray at 0000Hrs and for what reason?
An old haunted temple?
The Myth:
It is said that this cemetery is a favourite haunting of a popular ghost in the Malay community called the "Pontianak" or a vampire.
The Experiment:
If you sit alone on a grave at night, and called out to the name on the inscriptions, surrounded by lighted candles, the spirit of the dead will appear and grant your wishes.
The Goal:
As usual we try to detect, record or capture any supernatural entity in the area and get a feel of the cemetery before the bulldozers came.
The Video:
Results:
We crossed path with some thrill seekers, paranormal group, as expected but a detour we took leads us deeper into the dense forested area with more graves. Some of the members requested to turn back because we don;t know where the track leads us. The want to appear on a website not obituaries. We back track, lost our way again but found our way to a large double grave where we set our experiment. Video editing was uploaded but received negative comment. I don't know watch and see.
Findings:
The Mystery:
The is a Sikh figure guarding some of the graves because in the past, Sikh community are well known to work as guards or " Bai Jaga" .Therefore, they might be erected to scare unwelcome visitors away into thinking there is a guard watching over the grave of their loved ones. It's not an afterlife thing because for the Chinese community, all thing to be brought to the afterlife are burnt.
Yes, we did encounter some fresh offerings to the dead way past midnight. Most probably asking for lottery numbers. Favourite Singaporean past time 4D.
The place is too big to find the temple or the famous broken gates. As time is not on our side, we did not venture further.
The Myth:
No lady in white, no blood sucking vampire nothing except for some owl and dogs howling.
Experiment Results:
We have two people doing the experiment due to safety reasons. They mention the heard footsteps and flickering candles. See the video for more on the experiment. No spirits make a special guest appearance though.
Conclusion:
A great place to explore and have some spooks because it is creepy at night on an ancient grave. Go there before it is too late. Some weird entity caught on still photo but is subjected to individual interpretation.
