Singapore has a unique sense of the supernatural that blends the beliefs of several races. This book traces some of the more prominent threads running through this island's complex tapestry of faith, superstition, and fear. More than just a book about spooks, it is a cultural study of our relationship with the spiritual realm and a tribute to Singapore's colourful supernatural beliefs-how they came about, how they have changed, and what they say about us.
In this book, we explore the gods and ghosts brought to our shores by Chinese immigrants. Join us on a journey through the Chinese supernatural heritage-from immortals and fox spirits to restless ghosts and the Chinese undead. Along the way, gain insights into the nature of Chinese ghosts and the workings of the wider supernatural realm.
Discover why some places attract ghosts and how other places can store and replay ghostly memories. Tiptoe with us through haunted schools and check into some of the region's 'occupied' hotels. Then compare notes with Singapore's soldiers on the ghosts that are part and parcel of National Service.
Welcome to Singapore-spooky island set in the sea.
Lim connects familiar ghost phenomena with the larger supernatural picture. The accounts are scary because they are actual and so close to home. I'm eagerly awaiting the next piece of the chilling puzzle.
