ORIGINS
Supernatural Confessions began from a book written and published by Eugene Tay in 2015 based on his personal experiences that took place over a two year period. The book became an accidental success and that seeded the formation of the community via Must Be the Hantu private group on Facebook.
The group was set up for paranormal survivors and only that who had experiences could join the group and talk about it. Through the sharing sessions, the community learned from each other and, in their individual ways, found their own answers to their questions. The YouTube and Podcast channel came shortly after. It began with interviewing of spiritual practitioners of various religious backgrounds. The purpose was to document and spread the knowledge of a world that's a part of our culture and heritage, but yet avoided in mainstream discussion. Initially, interviews were conducted with an iPhone 5s placed close to the interviewee's mouth. Sound quality was terrible. The next upgrade was a cabled lapel microphone, and a flimsy phone-camera tripod. Supernatural Confessions's first co-host was Tim Oh, an old friend of Eugene Tay since they were in early twenties. Tim was also interested in topics of the supernatural and a professional Radio DJ. With Tim's involvement, Supernatural Confessions production quality had a massive makeover. A few months later, the entire world was locked indoors due to the COVID pandemic. |
About Eugene Tay
Eugene Tay is best known in the horror community as the Prince of Paranormal. He is the author of the book Supernatural Confessions, and has been the face of the brand since 2015, collecting and curating people's paranormal encounters and producing them into both long and short form video clips, audio podcasts, and text articles.
Eugene has also appeared as a host on Viddsee's Haunting History series, and as a guest speaker on many paranormal related channels such as Tales of Incredible Tales, Screamapura, and other more indie channels.
Career wise, most recently, Eugene was a business consultant in Product Design for SMEs from 2016 - 2023, before deciding to make a bold, midlife, career switch to dedicate his full time commitment to Supernatural Confessions.
He was born and raised in Singapore and is the eldest of two sons in a full fledged Peranakan family. He graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 2001 with a Bachelors of Science (Hons) degree in Computer Engineering at the worst possible time during the Dot Com era. Having to hustle to survive, Eugene picked up many skillsets along the way that led to the founding of Monsters Under the Bed, a creative arts school, in 2006. Eugene spent a decade breaking boundaries with his innovative creations such Journal, Singapore, the first history themed strategic boardgame for National Heritage Board, Budding Writers League initiative that nurtured many young talents to become published writers, and a powerful character development sandbox programme that would eventually lead to its implementation in schools nationwide. In March 21, 2024, Eugene achieved the status as the first and only Singapore Tourism Board (STB) licensed Tour Guide specialising in Dark Tourism.

Frequently Asked Questions
ARE THESE STORIES REAL?
The stories that we write are based on our personal experiences. Some stories are sent to us by Confessors with nothing to gain from fabricating a story. We give these stories the benefit of the doubt and accept them as they are. Stories are edited for narrative purposes.
i THINK i MIGHT NEED SPIRITUAL HELP. cAN YOU HELP ME?
We will not be able to help you directly. However, we are associated with the local council of spiritual practitioners and will be able to direct you to someone whom we trust.
i THINK MY HOME IS HAUNTED, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
You can do a simple test by putting a lime in a glass of water at each corner of the affected rooms. In the mean time, record every strange occurrence that you encounter. Take note of the time and location. Photographs and videos would be very helpful. Observe what becomes of the lime and record your findings as well. Send your journal over to us and we'll get in touch with you.
wHAT RELIGION IS THIS?
It's not a religion. We explore the lore and culture of various practices. Some of them could delve into religions but only for the purpose of describing the origins of the practice. Having more knowledge will definitely cause you to reflect on your own beliefs, but the content herein does not compare one religion over another.
wHAT DOES THE SUPERNATURAL CONFESSIONS LOGO MEAN? iS IT SATANIC?
Nope. It's not satanic. It is derived from sacred geometry and Elder Futhark runes. You can read the explanation here - https://www.supernaturalconfessions.com/sclogo.html
hOW WAS SUPERNATURAL CONFESSIONS FOUNDED?
Supernatural Confessions was founded by Eugene Tay. It started in 2014 when Eugene begun working on the first book in this series as a way to find closure to his own supernatural experiences. He spent two years battling the supernatural and was dragged into a world people don't talk about. These are the stuff you don't find detailed online because people with real stories don't share it with the world. After the book was published, Eugene received emails and calls from strangers who confessed that they too had personal encounters but had no one to turn to. Supernatural Confessions became a safe haven for survivors of supernatural encounters to find support among each other.
