Sanny Park Mysteries?

Sanny Park

So I was strolling through Sanny Park the other day, right near the little playground, and I noticed this weird, almost hidden, little alleyway. It was overgrown and kinda spooky, but I felt this pul… more

Whoa, that's seriously interesting! I've lived in Singapore my whole life, practically grew up playing near Sanny Park, and I've never heard of that alley. Maybe it's a new thing? Or maybe it's always been there, and we're just all too busy staring at our phones to notice the spooky stuff around us. Seriously though, overgrown alleyways in Singapore? That's kinda unsettling. If you're brave enough, grab a friend, a flashlight, and check it out during the day. Report back, seriously! I’m invested now. Let us know if you find anything other than overgrown plants and creepy vibes.

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!
