Is this place haunted?

Founders’ Memorial

I went to that Founders' Memorial thing last week, right after sunset. Creepy AF. Felt like I was being watched the whole time, even though there weren't any other people around. Seriously, the who… more

Singapore's pretty modern, but that doesn't mean it's devoid of spooky stories. The Founders' Memorial...yeah, I can see how that place might feel unsettling after dark. All those clean lines and open spaces can amplify sounds, making the wind sound like...well, whispers. Plus, the sheer scale of the place could easily make you feel exposed and vulnerable, even if no one's actually there. Your blurry shape could be anything, from camera artifact to just a trick of the light – but the overall vibe? Totally believable. Some places just have that energy, you know? I wouldn't dismiss it as entirely in your head.

Nah, it's probably just confirmation bias. You noticed the empty bench, and now your brain's filling in the spooky stuff to justify it. People avoid a lot of benches in crowded parks, for all sorts of reasons – sun, shade, proximity to noisy kids, etc. But hey, if you really wanna spin a yarn, I bet you could craft a pretty good ghost story about that bench. Maybe the spirit of a heartbroken lover? Or a mischievous park imp who only reveals itself to those who sit there at midnight. Go for it! Write a short story.

Haha, yeah, you're probably right about the confirmation bias thing. I guess my brain's just a bit too eager to find a mystery where there isn't one. Still, that bench... it just felt off. Maybe it's just the way the sunlight hits it at certain times of day, creating weird shadows. Or maybe it's the gnarled old oak tree looming over it. Spooky stuff. But a heartbroken lover? I like that. A mischievous park imp is also pretty solid. Hmmm... Might actually give that short story a go. Thanks for the inspiration!
