Thanks a million for posting another amazing session. The final message gave me a lot of hope, and i am immensely thankful to Laura, the Crew and the Cs for their guidance in these dark times
I am also constantly amazed at the accuracy of information from the Cs.
In response to the question about the entity/shadow in the picture of the Punggol murder. The C’s replied :
I subsequently did a bit of research and the history of the place (Punggol) in Singapore is definitely very interesting.
From a Paranormal site :
The Dark Past of Punggol Waterway [Urban Legend Series]
Before being developed into a full residential area with government and private housing residential blocks/high rise buildings, Punggol was the site of a few old Malay villages or “Kampung” in Malay. Agriculture, plantations, and pig farming were also developed in Punggol. However the whole area prior and after WW2 seems to be a veritable zoo of entities and strange stories. Some highlights:
1. In the early days before Singapore became a Republic - gangs or triads controlled many areas in Singapore. They used to settle their scores sometimes via murdering rival gang members, and the swampy area around a bend in the river was where they dumped most of their bodies. This is about 1km away from the murder site.
2. There was actually an Zoo there - which was closed just before the Japanese invasion. It is said that all the animals were killed by the British before the Japanese invaded Singapore and their spirits are said to roam around the area at night.
3. Constant tales of hauntings and entities plagued the area - and there is even an area known as the "Gates of Hell" where practitioners of Dark arts will go and test their skills there.
4. One of the most famous haunted houses in Singapore is called the Matilda House, referenced here :
Matilda House in Punggol, rumoured to be Haunted.
Apparitions Caught on Photos at Old Matilda House in Punggol
This house was owned by an opium planting tycoon and his family were called the Cashin family. He built it for his wife who was named Matilda, hence Matilda house. Apparently nothing tragic happened in the house, but later on when they moved out, the house was a hotbed of paranormal encounters and hauntings, with a number of stories mentioning a woman being seen on the roof of the house. Some photographers have also taken photographs in the house where the entities have appeared on their pics. It is nicknamed the "White House" by paranormal investigators- and for some reason the government could never demolish the house when they redeveloped the whole area. Urban legends say that construction companies suffered mysterious worker deaths on site, or equipment refused to work when they tried to demolish it. In the end the Singapore government re-classified it as a "Heritage building"; meaning that it cant be demolished and any new development must incorporate the building into its design. The Matilda house is now part of a private condominium complex, interestingly named "A Treasure Trove" and the house is right in the middle of high rise residential buildings and functions as a clubhouse. Again urban legends say that a few Masters were brought in to "negotiate" with the entities and a compromise of sorts was reached. However in order to be safe, the management of the Treasure Trove complex keeps the lights on in Matilda House 24/7 and it is never in darkness.
5. The Matilda house is about 600-700m straight line distance from the site of the murder.
6. Another interesting story is the former Wak Sumang village, or Kampung Wak Sumang. This was an old Malay village that predated the arrival of the British in Singapore (about 200 years ago). It is named after Wak Sumang, a renowned Javanese warrior and like most Malays villages there was a Mosque situated in the village where villagers will congregate for prayers. The mosque and village were demolished in the early 1990s to pave the way for development. With regards to the Mosque and its surrounding area - urban legends say that it was the "hangout" of pontianaks or vengeful female ghosts/vampires in Malay folklore. Many people who visited the mosque at night and stayed in the area heard their screams in the past.
7. Another interesting fact, was that Richard Nixon (when he was Vice President) visited the Wak Sumang village when he visited Singapore.
8. Wak Sumang village is around 3km distance from the murder site.
9. The final interesting point I found was that Punggol Point (where Wak Sumang village was and it is now renamed to Punggol Point) and along the coast was the site of Japanese massacres. When Japan defeated the British and captured Singapore - they embarked on targeted pogroms and massacres against the South East Asian Chinese. Sperheaded by the dreaded Kempeitai (military police) they brutally murdered many Chinese in Singapore and other territories they controlled in South East Asia in what is called the Sook Ching massacres. At Punggol Point approximately 400 Chinese were murdered. This reminds me of the book "Hostage to the Devil" by Malachi Martin as it starts with a story/scene during the Japanese invasion of China.
