    Amber Beacon Tower

    Bedok / Marine ParadeSingapore1970

    Amber Beacon Tower is a yellow spiral observation tower situated along the coastal promenade of East Coast Park near Car Park C4. Built during the 1970s land reclamation project, the structure became infamous nationwide following a tragic, brutal unsolved murder on May 15, 1990, when a young couple was attacked by unknown assailants while sitting on the tower staircase, resulting in the death of 21-year-old Kelly Tan Ah Bee. Famed in local urban lore, the tower is renowned for haunting encounters involving a female phantom clad in yellow standing on the spiral stairs, harrowing disembodied weeping echoing across the beach, and sudden temperature drops at night.

    Bedok Reservoir is a massive 88-hectare urban reservoir located in eastern Singapore, highly popular for dragon boating, kayaking, jogging, and outdoor recreation.

    Istana Woodneuk

    TanglinSingapore1892

    Istana Woodneuk is a decaying, grand two-story abandoned royal palace hidden within the dense jungle off Holland Road and Tyersall Avenue. Built in the late 19th century for Sultan Abu Bakar of Johor, the magnificent mansion served as a royal residence and later a military hospital during World War II, where hundreds of Indian military medical personnel were killed in Japanese air strikes. Ravaged by a devastating fire in 2006 and swallowed by primary rainforest growth, this untracked royal ruin is famous for terrifying encounters with spirit apparitions, disembodied cries, phantom shadows, and heavy satanic urban legends.

    Matilda House

    PunggolSingapore1902

    Matilda House, constructed in 1902, is one of the oldest surviving colonial bungalows in Singapore. Built by Irish merchant Joseph William Cashin for his wife, the single-story tropical villa stands as a magnificent example of Edwardian-influenced plantation architecture in Punggol. Left abandoned for decades amid surrounding jungle growth, the estate gained nationwide notoriety as the 'Punggol Ghost House', famous for supernatural encounters involving a long-haired female spirit sitting in trees, doors slamming shut, and dark legends of divine protection that thwarted multiple attempts at demolition before its restoration into a private condominium clubhouse in 2015.
