Beneath the glass towers and heritage facades of Outram lies a city of the dead, built layer upon layer beneath the living.
Beneath the glass towers and heritage facades of Outram lies a city of the dead, built layer upon layer beneath the living. Long before hospitals, hostels, and high-rises filled its skyline, this district was a patchwork of secret societies, sacred shrines, and forgotten graves — a landscape where the boundaries between power and the paranormal were perilously thin.
On this walk through the old quarter, storyteller Eugene Tay leads you behind the polished veneer of modern Singapore into the heart of its underworld — both literal and spiritual. You’ll hear of clandestine triad meetings that once took place behind shuttered windows, of coded rituals that bound loyalty and blood in the same breath. You’ll discover stories of one of Singapore’s most renowned spirit mediums whose visions once helped the living find peace with the dead. Across the road from what was once Singapore’s most infamous red-light district stands a small, unassuming shrine dedicated to a female mystic — a saint whose lineage traces back to the Prophet himself. For generations, offerings have been quietly laid at her tomb by those seeking mercy, protection, or forgiveness. Her presence is said to bless the wayward and the weary alike, as if to remind the city that holiness and sin have always lived side by side. The night concludes at Singapore’s oldest police station, a building that has seen crimes so chilling that even the ghosts seem reluctant to speak of them. Here, the living once interrogated the guilty — and sometimes, the guilty never left. Why it’s special:
