• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So she remember driving on the highway and this is
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: like morning like morning rush hour, Singapore and she saw
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: something jump out from the side of the highway and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: she was going like 1890. And then the thing like
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: just latched on to another car and then it dropped off.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: My name is Art.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: My name is Rohan. My name is Wayne. My name
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: is Kyle and this is Tales From Incredible Tales. A
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: show where we look back at the popular media horror series.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: The host of Incredible Tales throughout its 13 years is
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: back with us again. Welcome back out
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: back
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: and The Incredible Tales continues in my ears like in
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: a different form. Incredible tails.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: So in every episode of t from Incredible Tales, we
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: explore a different theme and how it ties back to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the classic incredible talls show. For this episode, we're looking
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: at haunted roads. This episode's theme was inspired by Pan
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Island Expressway from season one,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a stretch of road that goes through the pie underpass
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: is a favorite bike route for young group of cyclers
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: riding through it at night poses more of a challenge
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: than me. Poor vision. The site is reportedly haunted. Three boys.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Brave the rumor and ride straight into the mouth of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the underpass and discover that what's inside is more than
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: just a simple rumor. Wow.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Can I just say I am so impressed that the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: guy ran faster than the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and left the bike too. So now the auntie has
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: a bike.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, great. Now she could chase us a lot faster.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: All right. You actually film that Ami,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: right? I think I filmed everywhere in every form.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, I film there.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: How does it feel like
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to film at that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: spot?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Um, I don't think I felt anything strange at this
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: particular spot. It's more like I'm reflecting on the story itself.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I've been, I, I've, I've been in other spots in
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Singapore that's similar on my own. Um, there was a
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: period where I used to just go out to these
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: really desolated empty roads to long board. So that's where, like,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: um, outside of, like, the city where sometimes, like certain
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: roads will feel like a bit more creepy than others
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that. Not particularly with the shoot. I
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: didn't feel so much but I do feel the essence
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: of how particular junctions and intersections or bridges can have
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: that feeling.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because the location that they filmed is where we
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: actually very near where we shot our,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: ah, first episode of this season, Bukit Bron Cemetery. So
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: it's actually an underpass, a small underpass and then right
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: beside the underpass, both sides are the graves, but it's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a nice place to shoot a long two way road.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Then of course, then you see an oat stealing bikes.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: That's what she's going to be known as the auntie
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that steals you. But that's the effect that it has
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: on me because I remember watching that episode of Incredible
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Tales and committed that place to memory. So I've been
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: there both day and night. Then I always get like
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the image of the auntie just staring at you. Then
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the camera pulls out, then you see the long stretch
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: of road and then the underpass that always gave me
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the creeps. Wow. I mean, I'm not impressed is not
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the right word, but I'm amazed that there's still so many,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: like you're saying that
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you, you long board out the, all these like roads
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: where they're in the middle of nowhere in Singapore. And
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I'm still quite impressed that there's so many of them
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: in Singapore.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. I'm really surprised that they exist.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: And then with long boarding for me, it's like, um
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: it's just a different experience at night because it's, there's
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of history, a lot of energies at night.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Um that particular spot. I mean, it's, it's a very
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: interesting spot because of the two cemeteries and then you
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: have a bridge and then, and that Feng Shui is very,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: very interesting. It'd be interesting to get like a Feng
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Shui master
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: take on it of the energies that revolve in that
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: particular spot.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you look at Feng Shui and Chinese customs, right?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Usually the spots for cemeteries are very good feng tree.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: That's why they bury, you know, the ancestors and the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: date there particularly in Hong Kong. So some of the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: cemeteries are actually on the cliff side,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: overseeing a sea. So it's really nice thing. One of
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the first things that I did in Hong Kong was
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to visit a grave like a cemetery just to just
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to see because you always watch the Hong Kong films
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh this one like the scene
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: is shot very nice. Then you see in real life
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: that holy look
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: magnificent. I mean, you can imagine if the living was
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: living there, that would be so what are some infamously
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: haunted roots that you've heard of before?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Well, for
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: me, like in Thailand and I know Kyle would probably
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: agree to this. Well, we both agreed to everything we
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: talked about.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: We disagree to anything so far. But um when you
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: see these huge trees or pillars and you see the cloth,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the colorful cloth wraps around them
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: and all these offerings that's given to that particular space,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you'll see like little like, you know, uh little dolls
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: and stuff it depends on, on, on the pillar or
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the tree. Then these trees are, these pillars are alongside roads.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: So um automatically
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: those roads are going to feel very haunted because like
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: those pillars, either it's a pillar or if it's a tree,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: it's where most of the accidents happen and they probably
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: happen frequent enough for people who have lost their loved
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: ones to go there to pay their respects.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: So then it builds up, it builds up. It builds up. Yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, the lowest hanging fruit in Singapore is
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: old Tampines road. Yeah, that's the back way towards I,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: is it? Oh my God, I took, I took a
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: ride there once, not knowing the road was that? So
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it's like, like you can link it to our, also
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: from t to you can cut through that space. So
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: it has a lot of temples. There's like seven or
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: 10 temples around that range are all in that area.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Ah, just right next to pay Lebar airbase. The things
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: are gonna change once they move out because they're gonna
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: build houses there. Right. But I remember in relation to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: what I said, there's a big tree at the third
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: bus stop of old t because old T has about
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: four bus stops at a third bus stop. There's a
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: huge tree.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: They have the cloth on it. And also like, there's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of fatal accidents that happened there actually. So
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: like what I say, they tie the thing to a
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: piece of spirits or very creepy road. It's very creepy.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I used to pass by that road a lot when
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I was a kid because we used to live in
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a and my mom was, we used to go to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: this sports club that was in Changi
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and we always pass through there. So we go on
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: during the day and during the day it's great because,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you know, you got lots of tall trees and they
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: form like a canopy and it's like, oh, we're going
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: into the tree tunnel, you know, it's nice and beautiful.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: And then if you coming back at night, completely different
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: story altogether, just really dark and the street lights. But,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: you know, they might as well not be there because
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: it's so dark and so imposing in that place.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And you still, and you're in a bus and you're like,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: it's fine. Just don't look out the window, look at,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I love looking out the window to make matters worse
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: when I was young. The buses, a lot of them
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: didn't have air conditioning. So the windows are wide open. Right.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: That fun to, I mean, to me, I just call
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: your idea of fun. Ami very different. Would you find
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it fun
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: to just ride around in the bus? Yeah.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Your whole
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: bunch of people. I mean, unless you're the only one
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: on the top bunk then
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: sketchy it could be a full bus. Nope. No, thank you.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I was looking at car because I thought to myself like,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: if he's taking all t road, I know exactly which
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: road I'm going to be talking about highway. That one. Yeah,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: in Malaysia. So I'm sure people know the story about
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and I do like this has passed into urban legend
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: already where a young family are driving down the highway
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and the car starts having trouble
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and the dad gets out, this is ages ago. No
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: cell phone that gets out says I'm gonna look for
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: a phone to call for help. It's so he tells
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: his wife to stay in the car with the infant
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: son
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: or the infant child and he goes off to look
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: for the phone or for help and he doesn't come
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: back for a while. So the mom, his wife starts
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: wondering where is he? Police car pulls up beside their
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: car and the police officers just look at her and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: go like gesturing for her to come to the car
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and they keep telling her don't look back whatever you do.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So she gets to the car, she gets the police
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: car gets in with her infant child and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: at a safe enough distance she turns around and she
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: sees on the roof of their car. Kaka devouring her husband.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: So that's the, that's the one I've heard constantly about
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: current highway. And the more we get into this, the
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: more I realize there's like a ton of urban legends
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: around
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: highway as well. There is a movie that was actually
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: made of, is it, is that the title of a
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: movie I still remember that scene was quite graphic.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I think roads are very interesting because you, when roads
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: are being built, you don't know what it's being built
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: on top of
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: what history lies behind it. Um My two personal situation
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: with roads, we're both on an island in different islands.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Um One Phuket and one Samui. And the similarities is
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the experience of being on a motorbike and then feeling
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: as if I'm in a deja vu mode. So it's
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: like it just kept on going. But then I ended,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: it's like if I'm going to point A to point
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: B but then I'm passing by the same thing, seeing
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the same things. Um maybe seeing the same people like
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: you feel like for me, it's like five minutes and
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: then I'm like back into the original five minutes. So
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: that's happened to me twice in Thailand um where it
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: was kind of like it was just like it was
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: being in the twilight zone.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: So obviously, those roads are haunted for me to experience
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: that
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I have
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a story that a friend shared. In fact, this friend
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: is part of the crew. So he said that there
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: is this road in Sembawang that's near to the beach.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: OK. Thanks for the thumbnail.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: No. So, so that, that road, right is actually quite
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: a weird kind of road. It leads to a very
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: old moss, right? We need to a very old mosque
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: then all the way at the end is towards the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: beach then it is around about they cut through a
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: flown estate. So there's a standing order because when you
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: serve our nation in the national service, right? Sometimes they
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: have to petrol around there because the base is near there.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: For some reason, there's a standing order from the in checks.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Basically the warrant officers,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: when you pass by a particular tree near the area,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: drive faster. Whatever you hear. Why the smell don't say
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: anything because I was there in the morning and at
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: that time, I didn't know any of this story. I
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is a nice place. That should
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: be my wife here, you know, to just walk around
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and have some fresh air. So when I went back
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: home and I said, hey, let's go to the area.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Then just by the beach, she say no, why it's nice.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: The beach. No, not there.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, why she grows up there? So she
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: knows the stories behind it. And then now I know
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: that until you told me that that particular places, that story.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, ok, I like how fast and I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: was just walking around there at that point of time.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: So,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: um I'm not sure here if the belief is the same.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: But and it's interesting because I don't see it being
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: done as often anymore because the generation has changed. But
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: before when you would pass certain areas where you felt
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: was haunted or like they had those pillars or the trees.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: It's like people would honk, you know, you would honk
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: to sort of um
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: not pay respects to the spirits but kind of acknowledge
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the spirit. Yeah. But interestingly, I don't see it done
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: as often now because I don't know, like we're in
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: a new generation but like the former generations, that's what
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: they would do. Like, you know, when mopeds, motorcycles, cars
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: pass by like a particular spot, it would be like
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Hong Kong.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I can attest to that. Yeah, because my parents work
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: in F and B. So there's this place called Golden
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Mio Complex, which is a little Thailand of Singapore, right?
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: So it's a tradition and it, apparently it is a
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: tight thing. I did ask my mom. So when they
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: drive out
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the car park leaving Gold Complex, then there's this four
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: face Buddha apparently is very revered. This Buddha. That's just
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: right by the road in front of complex to bless
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the whole complex that every time people drive past there,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: they will honk once and then they will pray to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the Buddha for blessing to say hi to the Buddha
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: or something. So that's, I guess that's a thing that
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: ties do.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: It's also like you say, blessing to the whatever spirit
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: is there. OK? I'm just passing through, I acknowledge you.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I'm just passing through. That's it.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I think this is interesting because for, I mean, if
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: you were to ask me by honking it could mean
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that I might be disturbing the peace. That's a very Singaporean.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Don't, don't wake them up. They h, that means, you
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: know what's up, like my way. Yeah. So that's interesting.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: It's a different perspective to things because it's like what,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: what the war officers were saying about that one particular tree.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Don't
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: just drive fast. I always assume that that's what you
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: would do. But it also does make sense that you
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: want to honk. It's a sign of just instead of
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: ignoring you.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: think it's a sign of your acknowledge respect. I'm going now.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: But
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: you think that Asian people are Asian culture in large, right?
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Is like we are,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: there's so much depth to an action like it's not,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: it's not just a home, it's like I respect you.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I acknowledge you just by one h you get it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I get it
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: interesting. Interesting. OK. So now we we've spoken about roads
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and certain roads are much more haunted as compared to
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: other roads. So why do you think no one tried
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: to cleanse these roads the way certain places or homes
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: are
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: cleansed?
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I feel they are cleansed. I feel in certain places
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: like for, from my standpoint, from Thailand, I think a
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: lot of times when
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: things are being built, um they are, they do go
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: through rituals. Um they feel it's important land or space
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: to give the rituals. But then there are roads and
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: places that
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: um that are overseen, like overlooked, whereas things start to
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: happen and then they happen again and again and I
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: do feel they do get cleansed but then they become
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: a center of energy of, um, where things situations happen
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: over and over.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Um, and it's different from a home because it's like
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: it's roads is an open space. So it's like, it's
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: very hard to go cleanse such a vast amount of
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: like roads and streets and everything. So I think there's
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: just so much that you can do.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I agree with that. I mean,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: it is an open space. How much can you do?
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: And because energies are keep, I mean, once an energy
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: is there probably is going to attract more energies there.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: So hence even though if it's clean, I think there's
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the remnants of the energy that could come in.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like in Asia and generally the roots
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: are very old. I think maybe the prayers were already
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: done way past the negotiations with the spirit that they
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: already done way past. But what is interesting is that
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: because particularly for Singapore, Singapore is such a dense country
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: and then we lack of land. So sometimes we build
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: new roads, right? So
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: in our first episode, we talked about Bukit Brown cemetery
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and just cutting through book cemetery is a highway. So
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I would like to think that there were negotiations done,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: not just the usual negotiations and the usual rituals is
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: like double that because you're essentially exhuming a whole bunch
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: of grades, like, few 1000 graves and then building a
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: massive highway through it. So, I thought that would be
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: interesting because there's actually a new road.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. In fact, a highway
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: and then you're building over some of them also. So,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: can you imagine the amount of, like, prayers, the amount of, like,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: spiritual advice that you need to do for that?
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. In the olden days they would do it differently
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: if they had like superstitions, they would probably
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: um find people um and just bury them alive to
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: protect the areas and they did, they did that back
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: in uh
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: like a
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: sacrifice.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Oh My,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: the practice power isn't done.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I hope not.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I just wanted that reaction.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: No, but I welcome is similar to the bridge guardian
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: that we talked about the last season where we say
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: that whenever we build a bridge, some thing would use
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the scale of young Children to support the pillars of
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the bridge so that you will not collapse. So there
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: were like conspiracy theories that certain bridge in Singapore will
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: built that way.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's very paganistic kind of belief, right? Would
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: you say so? Right? I mean, it's related to that sacrifice.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, do they willingly volunteer to be sacrificed or
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: they're forced
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: to be sacrificed? They are forced to,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I, I don't think anybody who like I, nobody would
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: do that. Oh my God. Forced to sacrifice and for
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a road as well. You're like, yeah, then it looks
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: like a nice road. All right. I volunteer.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: See, you get two reaction to this.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, this was, you know, probably a practice that
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: was done way, way, way, way back. Um, but yeah,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: it just depends on the beliefs and everything because it's
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: kind of like to counter the energies by sacrificing energies. So,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: it's like if there's a whole ritual happening, it's like
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: dependent on,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: they feel will fit the circumstance. Like what Kyle said,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: if they feel like finding Children will fit the circumstance,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: then they probably would have want Children spirits to protect
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: that bridge by sacrificing them
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: out of curiosity. I know you've shared that you've had
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: a fair share of experience on the road. The deja
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: vu experience. What about maybe win and have you had
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: any
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: experience on the road? Ok. Not my personal experience, but
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: it happened recently after we, we produce season one of
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: incredible deals. Ah, my sister is very sensitive, I'm sensitive,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: but my sister is way more sensitive. So she said
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: that there was one period of time she kept seeing
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: white shadows near her car.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: So she will pick up her child to go to
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the kindergarten in the mornings and then she will see
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: this particular shadow that's right at the corner of a car.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: So she remember driving on the highway and this is
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: like morning like morning rush hour Singapore and she saw
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: something jump out from the side of the highway and
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: she was going like 1890
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: and then the thing, like, just latched on to another
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: car and then he dropped off on the road and
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: then she almost jammed the ere because she thought that
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: it was an actual human being. But then she was like, no,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: this is not human. Like this is trying to cost
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: me in the blink of an eye and then she
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: just drove through, through it and then it just went
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: through translucent. So that was like creepy. Yeah, yourself. The
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: only one I can think of
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: isn't really supernatural, but it was creepy was um I was,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I was visiting a friend in Texas. This is way
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: back in 1999. Nice. And we were driving through a
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: suburban neighborhood and again, there are street lights but it's
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: not particularly well lit
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: and you're driving and you pass by, I remember it
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: was a junction. It's a very small junction because it's
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: suburbs and there was a guy just standing underneath one
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: of the street lamps
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and he bear in mind. This is like nine o'clock
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: at night we're driving by and he's just staring at
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: us the whole time doesn't move, standing completely still straight,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: but then just glaring at us as we drive by
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: and both of us were like, what was that like?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know, let's keep going. Let's keep going.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Apparently. Around the same time there was a killer roaming
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: around Texas. I don't know. So be one of those. Yeah.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe the guy was just weird. Maybe it was something else.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Is
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: it real?
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, God. That would be far worse. I mean,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Ghost don't kill you. Serial killers. Well, I agree on
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: that for myself. I've had a couple of, because I write. So,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: especially if it at night. So, you know, when you
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: pass by certain areas you will smell different types of San. Yeah.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: So I've had French Penny, I've had stench. So one
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: particular bro that until today if I pass by, it's
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: very prominent is right at the back of my mom's house.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: That alley there. So it's like a very small road
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: once you had the Gentry open up, drive in and
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: then after that, you will enter at the back. So
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: there's a hill there, right? There's a hill, then there's
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a small road there. Every time I walk I walk
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: or I write there will be two smells, the French
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Penny or the stench. And it depends. It gets initially
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: when I was younger. Of course, I get scared, but
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: now that I am slightly older, I'm like,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I'm a regular here resident here. So I think you
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: know me by now.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm pretty sure riders will have this experience themselves.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: It's really quite sweet that they recognize you and then
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: they just like. Yeah. Ok. All right. So, this question
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: is for everyone. Would you rather walk down a long
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: stretch of haunted road with spiritual protection or speed through
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: in a car
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: without
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: protection?
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: I'll switch it up. I'll walk down a haunted road
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: without protection and in a speeding car with protection.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Whoa. Oh, wow. So
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I'll do both.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Why? You? So, yeah.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Ok. There's a lot to unpack here. There's so much to,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: why would you walk in a haunted road without? Yeah. Yeah,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I feel I need protection in a speeding car, but
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I guess that's not like on a spiritual level, I
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: guess I just, like, kind of,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: that's ok. I see what you mean because it's just,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I think I'm
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: more, I like if I'm on the road and I'm pacing,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not speeding through. I feel there's more calm, kind
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: of more calm, more taking my time assessing the situation. Um,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: and I feel that you do have your own inner
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: protection as is, and then in a speeding car basically. Um,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I just feel not as in control
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: in the car if it's speeding. So, yeah,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: that's interesting. Yeah, that is, that is actually a very
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: logical way to approach that question.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I, I, I'm in agreement with you for that, but, um,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: driving down a haunted stretch of road, right? Is a big, no, no,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: for me even driving down, I presume in this scenario,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I'm alone. Right. So I will probably walk
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: because driving down without protection, then your mind will be like, ok,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: this will haunted. Now I'll drive faster. There will be
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: more prone to accident then blast. The fact that I
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: don't even have protection. Then it goes ha ha. Got
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: no protection. I'm gonna haunt you. I'm gonna appear in
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: front and then you crash and then you die.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: So I'll take my chances, I'll walk, I think will
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: probably no car. So you just walk, then you got attention.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I actually am in agreement with you on this one.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I am in agreement with you because also as you've
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: pointed out, I'm quite oblivious to stuff. So I think
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: if I know I have protection with me and I'm
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: walking down the road after a while, my own mind
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: will just like, not really focus on what's around me
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and because I am so oblivious to everything, I'll be like,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: eventually I'll just start thinking about something else like doing
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: like my, my grocery list in my head and then
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: before I know I'll be at the end of the road,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, yeah. Ok,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: cool. What if you have like, you know, some people
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: helping you out with the grocery lists?
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Nothing on your mind
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: have cabbage on that list. Too
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: personal.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Here's what will probably happen. I will be freaked out
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: and then I would like to believe immediately I'll go,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: oh no, they're right. We are running out of cabbage.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Oh God. Oh, my God, they're right. Yeah. So I, I,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I hope so. I hope that is the extent of
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: me getting disturbed. I've actually write down a long winding road. Um,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure but that the area. So it's a
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: very long stretch right from Lim Chu Kang all the
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: way to the end until you get into the highway.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: So I've write down of course with prayers and protection.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: So technically I speed, I didn't speed. I was just
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: riding safely, but with protection, but I would walk down
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: a long and winding road, but with protection because I
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: think at the end of it, if I know that
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I'm protected, I should not be worried. Yeah. So I
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: have this very strong feeling that as long as I'm protected,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: if it appears in front of me, you cannot do
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: anything to me. Yeah. Yeah. At this point I'm just
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: worried about wild animals.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: That's another thing to consider. That's good. I cycled through
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Lauren Har Los in the middle of night, just with
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: one friend. Then, you know, we go, there goes hunting right.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Then what we get, we get a pair of wild
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: dogs attacking us. You were chasing us like they were
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: ready to bite and go like better faster.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: You know what you're looking for. Yeah. No, what I'm
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: looking for, see, you should follow the lead of the
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: guy in this episode, drop your bike and just run.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: It would just be faster. No. Because the auntie was
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: holding on to the bi handle, but it goes the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: dog level so I can run. Good point. Good point.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: We've reached the end of the road for this episode.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Let's cap it off
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: with a morbid fact of the day. So, right in Taiwan,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: there's this highway called be Highway is actually a site
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: of many, many fatal accidents that anyone driving along the
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: road can actually see a lot of unburned or partially
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: burned pieces of ghost paper is the one that, you know,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: when you finish burning, then you throw. So it's quite
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: common to see that there
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: gonna be so creepy to try. Yeah, I mean, when
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: you drive past and you see all this paper, even
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: though you may not see anything, I think the first
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: reaction is, oh my God, why are the papers here? Right?
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: It has the same meaning for you, right? You just like, why? Yeah,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the first thing you think is
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: you see, you be like, why? So even if you
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: didn't know the history of that place, like, what about you?
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: If
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: I saw that
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: you saw like pieces of paper I would
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: on the map, you know why it was
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: burning?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: But would you do anything? I will be like, will
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: you be like extra on God?
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I think I would just be aware of what's going
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: on and probably just, you know, quietly mentally pay my
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: respects to what I see and then be more conscientious
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: of that space and what I'm doing. Yeah. If I'm like,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: if I'm driving then I would have to be,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I would be conscientious to drive even more careful through
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: the space.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure about you. But have you had a
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: situation where you're driving past and you see a funeral
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: procession going on? Or people are doing prayers at the
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: side of the road, you just tend to slow down
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: kind of like give them a bit of respect and
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: then after you move faster as you pass by them,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I have the habit. I mean, because I feel like
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: if I'm really loud when I'm riding or driving and
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: then I'm just going speedy, it's just, I'm just scared
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I might scare them or I kind of disturb their
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they are offering set upon a time, just me. Yeah,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I agree. But I mean, for us we would just
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: try to avoid. Yeah, when you see you can hear. Yeah,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, especially for Chinese one is very loud so
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: you can avoid it even for like the
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: that one because it's bad luck in that sense. It's
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: not good to be facing it. I don't know if
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: you heard of it because in Singapore, like we do
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: like for the Chinese, we do funerals at the void deck, right?
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: So the casket is there, then sometimes you can see
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: the photo of the DC. So they say try not
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to see the photo of the diseases
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: or don't have like weird thoughts when you're looking at
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: them like just avoid at all cost at all. Cause
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I heard of that thing, I've heard my parents saying, oh,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: when you see or hear that, try not to watch
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the watch is bad luck. Pure life. If I see
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: what it's a funeral possession or like awake at the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: void deck, I tend to,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I tend to, you know, walk around. I think it's
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: less fear or superstition. I think it's just respect like,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: and not just for the deceased but like, you know,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: for the people who are mourning this person as well,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: this is a time for them to be with their
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: family and their loved ones. So I figure instead of
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: even getting into the line of site just as far
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: as possible trying to avoid it.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: I think lately I've, I acknowledge it. I used to
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: avoid it. But I think now if I'm walking through
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: like a funeral, I just acknowledge and then I just
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: move on. It's kind of like an acknowledgment of like

• 32:28
  Speaker 2: you know, um light and then move on.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah,

  Speaker 2: I do feel
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: in the last few months, I've kind of have a
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: different energy when it comes to dealing with energies. It's
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: just very, it's, it's very beautiful in a way. And
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: also I'm just kind of more in tune in a
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: more centered way.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Like wise, I think I'll start trying that. Actually, just
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: politely acknowledge that sounds very sweet. And it also sounds
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: like because death is always such a taboo,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: but it's a natural part of life. So yeah, I
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: think I might start doing that from now on. I
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: think like it is part of your personal growth. Like
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: people will reach a certain point where it's just normal.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Death is what makes life beautiful, but I'm not there yet.
