okok Ima sucker for ghost/horror stories so spill it guys...

i know pretty much all the schools in Singapore are haunted because most of them are build on cemetaries during WWII. Lots of MRT stations are haunted too...
I have like tons of stories about my school...not that scary when compared to others but still.....

-Our school has tons of stories n is pretty haunted eventhough it is a Christian school.
--> When i was in sec sch, I was in the NPCC and our rifle range had a presence there. being a Christian school, pretty much every room gets blessed but the rifle range was never blessed. why? because the cross always goes missing, the school emblems went missing...everytime they tried to put something there to ward off spirits, that thing would go missing.
-->No one ever dares to go down there alone.
-->You can hear balls bouncing in there n see the ball bouncing but there would be no one there.
-->Sometimes u can hear lots of shots being fired.
-->and also at the end of the range where the has like a metal sheet or some sort, U can see the shadow of a soldier..its just there...ppl have been trying to scrub that image off for years n its still there.

I always get goosebumps whenever I go down there...n being in NPCC, we pretty much were there at least twice a week...n when I was a Senior..we had to go there almost everyday for group meetings n stuff...the worst was when we have camps!!!!

ok..I'll save the scary stuff for later...


share people share..........

so christian schools can't be haunted? LOL Of all places in SE asian, i thought singapore would be the least haunted since everything is so urban and usually ghost stories are associated with the rural areas (which singapore has none according to CIA factbook)

Yeah, my school was haunted too. And it was a Catholic one. On top of that there were Muslim prayer rooms, Buddhist gatherings and Hindu student organisations and yet still the ghosts came! Same old same old stories. The sounds of marching boots on the basketball court, headless Japanese soldier on the clock tower, pontianak by the old angsana tree blablabla.



I remeber back in primary school, Russel Lee's Singaporean ghost stories books were a big hit. It came to a point the headmaster actually banned it!

Lots of Russel Lee best selling stories are also incluisve of Maaly Bohmo stories. I have lots of them in store, including how i found my own Malay Bumi ambon Pentecostal Guru. Anyone care to know and share tem with me?

For staters, let us be claer about one thing: Maaly spirituality with its shmatic tradiitons is highly complex. There are basically 3 types of animisitc beliefs from Javanese mysticism:

1.Kebatinan
2. kejewan
3. Kahringa

Anyone out there a malay and interested?

You're really into this, aren't you? Tread lightly on all this bomoh stuff pattiasina. A couple of years back a local politician who solicited the help of a bomoh was found murdered and his body chopped and buried in a rural shack. It was a big hoo-haa in Malaysia and will soon be released as a movie.

Even more recently, Gunung Ledang (Mount Ophir) near the Malacca and Johor border was closed to climbers after two Singaporeans were killed in a freak accident. By all accounts it's most likely due to natural circumstances but locals have long known the place to be 'hard'.

Electric New Paper report: It's a place not to fool around

oh Russle Lee is that guy with the covered in black head to toe thing... how can he breath? why is it that I see him, I imagine him farting or going to he bathroom... thats whats bad of being this misterious looking people or looking Gothic or Emo.... you always have to have an image

No, i am not reaaly into it the way yuo think and put it. The fact of the matter is that the Bohmo culture from the malay mysticism is still very imbued intothe malay way of life even as muslims. Understanding this is quentissential to understanding their culture and outlook bcasue the malay people like most Asains are obess with a search for superior wisdom and power. Magic domnates them in daily life and even in their conversations. So I am talking about truly understanding the Maaly way of life , not so much as Bohmo stuff . In fct, I quite strongly am against it . Witch carft is so much part of them that even Chirstain pentecostols and charasmtics have heir own versions of Bohmos and excorcists and fake healers .
Did you know for a fact that te devaint sex manic of 1983, Adrain Lim was heavily into sex magic becasue of his assocaiiton with his malay freinds? In the book "I confess' which was MPH best seller , He wrote that he frequently chatted with his malay friends at the Kophitham and they talked a lot about magic . They introduced Adrain Lim to a Thai magician called Uncle Willy who gave him a small icon of the Saimese sex god to satisfy his pervrese sexual cravings and all his sexual expliots resulted since that time when the sex magicial corrupted spirit possessed him.

Kebatinan = Malay magic & black magic . Practised by the origianl proto malays or sakais who came out of Africa . They are very into soul travelling, dream-sleeping magic and out -of-body expriences and believe they can leave into a soul- dreamy state to realise a dream time connection while still alive. This is the reason why the malays are so easy-going , lazy and dreamy-like , living in a double concious dream-like state . Proto maalys or Orang Asli tribes are still very isoalted and remotely living in the Cameron highlands today.

Kejiwaan = an abstract concept of channeling into the inner nature of the soul or inner spirit to connect to god . This is the a very high philosphical complex of malay cyrcetism based on the subud school of sufism , in which Islamic mysticism is mixed with Braham Shiva hinduism . Expressions of this in the malay arts are the Wayang kulit , jongket or malay dances and silat. Such is the profound depth of Javanese mysticism and cultre of the malay people . Another example is the gigantic orb-shape malay kite which according to animistic origins was made to shape like the moon to project soul energy to the moon. Hence some Maaly kites are called Moon kites.

Kahringa = animistic beliefs in sea dragons worshipped and observed by the Dayak, Bajau, Sulewasi and sarawk orang. The orignins of this is very much the same as Hokkiens beliefs in the dragon king or Hai Leng Ong as these maaly tribes sailed from Yuanan provinece in theri ancestry as the Tibetan-Burmese sino and Turkic-mongolian minoirity groups of the Qiangs, the Yis and the Dais .

You might not know this things becasue not many Chinese singaporeans unlike myslef have a real interest in the malay arts. For me, I am Singaporean Chinese but very strong malay in spirit which is why i have a Bumi IAmbon Pentecostal guru and not an Asain chinese guru.

Yeah..he's kinda freaky...I remember they tried to interview him on TV once and he was all covered head to toe...it kinda reminded me of a ghost...

oh Goombaking..I didnt say Christian schools couldnt be haunted..but its just the idea that since its a Christian school...or a Catholic school...it would tend to be "less haunted" since the school has been blessed and all that good stuff..



yo mannnnnnnnnnn....no freaky stories to share??


n hmm...I wonder if anyone knows a story about the "lost NCC patrol"...not sure which school..but the story is supposedly pretty famous...n they send it to Russel Lee..but the principal managed to put a stop to it or something.........

I only saw ghost once in SG... i was about to fall asleep when there appeared a freaken big luminous green fist coming right at me at speed. i don't know if i dreamt it but i woke up screaming 'maaaa.............'

You do know more about these than me pattiasina. It's not often we find Chinese Singaporeans who are interested in the mythical arts native to the region. I agree that the bomoh is still very much part of the Malay psyche even in today's environment of increasing Islamic indoctrination. Likewise on your views on the orang asli black magic and the insight into the wau bulan particularly. Not that the latter helped MAS which uses it as its logo fly the soaring heights of SIA though.

One story which I found quite intriguing was the one experienced by the NS trainees on Pulau Tekong. My cousins used to tell me that place is 'hard', which was again repeated by some mates in uni.

pattiasina, how is Malay (or Maaly as u like to put it) spirit world different from the chinese or indian ???
