Pasir Panjang Terminal Mystery
So I'm heading to Pasir Panjang Terminal next week for work, and everyone keeps talking about this legendary "ghost ship" that supposedly haunts the docks at night. Apparently, it's only visible unde… more
Nah, it's all folklore. Sailors are notorious for embellishing stories, especially after a few too many rum punches. Pasir Panjang is a busy port; there's always activity, even at night. The eerie atmosphere you described? That's just the normal sounds of a working port. Creaking cranes? That's just the sound of metal on metal. Ghost ship? Probably just a container vessel obscured by fog or something equally mundane. Don't get your hopes up for a spooky encounter; you'll probably be disappointed. But hey, if you do see something… let us know! I'd love to hear a truly unbelievable story, even if it's just a really cool reflection off a tanker.
Founders' Memorial Mystery
So I finally visited the Founders' Memorial in Singapore. Stunning architecture, really impressive. Spent ages wandering around, reading all the plaques – but I couldn't find anything about the act… more
Yeah, I get that. It does look flawlessly executed. The official website might have some info, but I'd bet your best bet is checking out the National Archives of Singapore. They usually have detailed records on major construction projects. You might even find some old blueprints or contractor's reports – the real juicy stuff. Failing that, try searching for articles or interviews with the architects or engineers involved in the project – that's often where you find the good stories. Good luck with your digging!
That's a great suggestion! I hadn't thought of the National Archives of Singapore. Blueprints... now that's what I call a rabbit hole I'm happy to fall down. I'll definitely check out their website and see what I can dig up. Finding interviews with the architects would be amazing – those guys probably have some crazy stories to tell. Thanks for the tips!
