Ghost Sighting??
I was with my girlfriend one night and we decided to take a few night shots of a certain place. It wasn’t that late a night… Only about 9pm. We were there for about half an hour or so when we heard somebody crying softly below. I looked down from the bridge, where we were standing and we both saw a lady walking alone sobbing. So we thought to ourselves, she’s probably having a fight with her boyfriend on the phone or something cos her right hand was up as if she’s holding a phone. We kept quiet as we did not want to startle her with our presence. After she passed, we continued doing our thing. I was sitting on the bridge behind her and she was trying out my camera.
Another 15 mins passed when suddenly the lady from below was on the other end of the bridge walking towards us. I noticed that she doesn ‘t look local (that’s what I remembered correctly). She had already stopped crying then. She walked past us as usual and we didn’t think much about it. Although we did asked each other on why whould a lady be alone in such a dark and deserted park. We brushed it off lightly and didn’t think much of it afterwards. Later on, my phone rang and we went off to meet Jaz nearby.
A few days later, I transferred the pictures as usual before taking the next set. About a month later, I was scrutinising the pictures my friend took when I noticed something weird…. a mystery until today…. It was a shocker… I double and triple confirmed it with many friends and they agreed with me. There was indeed something out there. I even showed my friend, the one who took the picture and she was shocked herself. Some say it’s “Kakak” but I personally think it’s “Gula-gula aka Pocong”. I have not done anything to the picture and this comes straight from the camera, I swear! Except for the watermark of course.. Sorry if it bothers you… but I have to. But I must say, many of you westerners may not believe and may think it’s light or something. And before you say anything, I would just like to say, “To each his own..“. It’s really up to your beliefs. I just wanna share my experience that’s all…
I’m even including 2 pictures for you to compare.. So, enjoy zooming in on the picture and scrutinising it.. 
For whom it may concern, please do not steal the picture and put this on some other sites without my permission.
Thank you!

* This place is called the Canopy Walk, a 280-metre long boardwalk that links Kent Ridge Park to the “Reflections at Bukit Chandu” museum. Kent Ridge Park was used as a fortress by the British army during the World War IIin February 1942. The Malay Regiment led by Lt Adnan fought in one of the last battles in Singapore at Bukit Chandu. Unfortunately the battle was lost and most of the soldiers were killed. The Japanese soldiers caught the wounded Lt Adnan himself, tied him to a tree and gunned him to death.

April 21st, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Is that a ghost at the end of the bridge? Scary!!!
Btw, what is “kakak” and “gula gula”? I thought kakak is sister and gula-gula is sweet. LOL!
April 22nd, 2009 at 12:53 am
@Levian
Yeah, It’s been up since last week..
@Papabear
Not exactly a close encounter.. I didn’t see it real life though.
I would have run off immediately if I saw it at that moment..lol!
And yeah, I kinda believe in their existence..
@ECL
LOL! It gave me some too the first time I saw it..
@Foongpc
Yeah, it’s at the end of the bridge.. Did you guys zoom on it?
What do you think it is?
Anyway, kakak is sister but a slang we used for Ponti—- and gula-gula is sweet but a slang for Pocong..
Do you know what are they?
April 22nd, 2009 at 1:07 am
Wah …. This is eerie ……
This location seems to be on the western side of Singapore.
Hope everything is alright !

April 22nd, 2009 at 4:47 am
@JH
Yeah, everything went fine that day.. Just the ultimate shock.
Everybody said we were crazy to go to such a deserted place alone, just us two girls.
@Monica
Ooops… Sorry Monica! Didn’t mean to scare you.. Hee..
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:47 am
I am wowed at this photo. I tapped my husband to come and check it out. I don’t know anything about the names you used, sorry, but I know someone asked this above, yet still I’m puzzled with your response? So, you were just snapping random pic’s and noticed this when you got home? Wow!
Naye
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Very scary brother..
April 22nd, 2009 at 11:55 pm
Could the lights be playing our eyes and our imagination? It’s possible so I will just think it that way … wooooooohhhh wooooooohhhh ! Hehehehe
April 23rd, 2009 at 4:27 am
Spooky!
The picture is beautiful, though.
It must be such a beautiful park.
Many Blessings….

Wow, very cool, I do believe in the paranormal, there are things out there that we can’t explain away.
April 23rd, 2009 at 7:07 am
@Makingmoney
I totally understand why you are confused. It’s actually their name in our language.. ;P
I can translate for you though.. Correct me if I’m wrong people..
Pontianak = lady vampire, Pocong = Living Corpse
And yeah, we were happily snapping away without realising it until I looked at the pictures a month later.
@Xgenesis007
I don’t think it’s lights cos I zoomed in on both pictures and on the thing.. There’s really something there.
Y don’t u try to zoom in on it? You have to save the picture to zoom in properly though.
Cos you won’t be able to fully zoom through here.. But seriously, it’s really up to individuals to believe..
@Hugo & Roxanne
LOL! Thanks… It’s not really a pretty park.. lol!
Never been there in the day though..
@Bob
I do agree with you.. There are just some things in this world that we cannot explain..
April 23rd, 2009 at 8:34 am
Yikes..!!
What a photo to start a Thursday. Wow.. I guess you’re ‘lucky’ to have taken that shot. Although I don’t really fancy that luck though, ha.. Anyway, glad that you guys are alright. Take care.
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:25 am
Great blogs think alike! That is eerie. Did you look up the history to the area to see if there is a story about this woman?
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:51 am
Is this place at Canopy Walk Bridge near Alexandra?
It’s a once-in-the-blue-moon experience!
As long as you believe in Christ, it should be ok, nothing can harm you
Thanks for sharing the photo!

April 24th, 2009 at 8:30 am
Wow! That is soo cool! You are so lucky to have had an real encounter! Great shot!
April 24th, 2009 at 8:33 am
Waaah… this makes me have goosebumps Cash.. what a capture you did. Some unusual things really happened and I guess somebody is trying to let you feel their presence.
Im back to blogging now Cash, I went off for a month bec my MOM passed away and I was fighting for depression. Good thing, Im getting back to normal now.. gradually.
April 25th, 2009 at 1:22 am
If you ask me, I definitely think it’s a ghost! Cos I believe in such things and they really do exist!
April 25th, 2009 at 6:57 am
@Ching Ya
Yeah, I’m sure glad nothing happened to us.. ;P
@Jen
Oh..I didn’t look up its history. I’m not sure if it’s the woman we just saw though.
Cos my eyes followed her all the way to make sure she didn’t vanish halfway behind us.. lol!
Maybe I will try to look up on whether there’s any story about the place..
@VanillaSeven
Yeah.. It’s at the Canopy Walk, near Bukit Chandu. Spot on!
@Levian
No problem at all.. Just drop by whenever you want to..
@Anna
Aww…You should have posted it up and share with us.. lol!
@Liferamblings
Spooky isn’t it? My friend told me she had felt something when we were there but didn’t think much about it.
@Jhoice
Haha! Now that I know, I wouldn’t want to go there alone again… Haha!
@Kristin
Oh..You can watch it after your lunch.. but not before your lunch
cos you might be grossed out to eat after that.. C’mon watch it! Let’s be paranoid together! ;P
@Monica
Thanks for the tag.. I’m lagging behind in this tagging department. I’ll try, I’ll try… ;D
@Lilysgramma
I must say I’m lucky to have got this shot without experiencing anything.. That I must say..
@Umma
Yeah, I know.. You must be going through a lot now.. Don’t worry..
I’ll still drop by your blog whenever I can..
@Foongpc
Yeah.. I think so too.. Cos it’s impossible to be light or shade cos I really, really zoomed on it.. lol!
I think you should know what those things are right? The name of things I mentioned..
Cos I heard there’s a lot over there..
April 25th, 2009 at 4:59 pm

April 26th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Eeeeuww. I think it is a PHSM (Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam). :p
But seriously, I’m quite surprised it got caught on your camera.
Heee.. goosebumps all over my body. Fortunately it is 3.35 pm now.

May 2nd, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Hi cashmere, interesting pics you have there. I saw the “lady” standing at the end of the bridge, and I also noticed at the top right, more branches and something shiny hanging from it
I have never seen “hantu” personally and they had better not appear in front of me because I’m so going to strangle them
May 2nd, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Oh yes! I know what they are! Lots of such stories in Malaysia too! I don’t hope to see one though : ) Err.. long time still no new post?
May 3rd, 2009 at 9:11 am
Whether you belive the story or not, there’s no argument that these are amazing night images!!
I looked at the enlargments for quite some time… I believe in your experience.
May 4th, 2009 at 9:24 am
can’t help looking closely at the 2 photographs again n again
whenever i drop by.
was listening to some stories the other day,
had me dreaming of them that night.
oh gosh!
