Camwood Park Mystery

fmd_good Camwood Park

I'm visiting Camwood Park next week and stumbled upon some old photos online showing a really strange, almost fairytale-like, little playground... like, seriously whimsical. It looks nothing like the… more

Wow, that's a seriously cool mystery! Early 2000s Singapore playgrounds... man, those were a different era. I've lived here my whole life and I've never heard of a fairytale playground in Camwood Park, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist. Singapore's changed so much. Maybe try contacting the National Parks Board? They might have archives or old blueprints that could shed some light on this. Or maybe even the local residents association for the area— they often have a wealth of local history tucked away. Good luck with your quest! I'm seriously intrigued now... let me know if you find it!

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!
