Speaker 1: So when you look at the side mirror, right, he
0:01
Speaker 1: really saw like white, like this one this one sitting
0:04
Speaker 1: like that no.
0:26
Speaker 1: My name is Pha.
0:27
Speaker 2: My name is Wayne. My name
0:28
Speaker 2: is
0:29
Speaker 1: Kyle, and this is Tales from Incredible Tales. Inspired by
0:33
Speaker 1: the classic Mediacorp series, we explore different aspects of Southeast
0:36
Speaker 1: Asia's supernatural culture from supposedly haunted locations to creatures and spirits.
0:42
Speaker 2: So for this episode, we take a detour from the
0:44
Speaker 2: norm and look at stories behind Asia's supposedly haunted roads.
0:49
Speaker 2: This episode's topic is inspired by the original Incredible Tales episode,
0:54
Speaker 1: Taxi. We have to start this episode with Kara Highway.
0:58
Speaker 1: We read online and have heard from many people personally
1:02
Speaker 1: that the 60 kilometer long stretch that connects Kuala Lumpur
1:06
Speaker 1: to Genting Highland is Malaysia's most haunted highway.
1:10
Speaker 1: Built in 1970 and open to the public in 1977.
1:15
Speaker 1: Kara Highway has been the site of several accidents, including
1:19
Speaker 1: a crash in 1990 that involved a bus, a lorry,
1:23
Speaker 1: a Federal Reserve unit truck, two taxis, 6 cars, a
1:27
Speaker 1: crash that left 17 people dead. Personal experiences and articles
1:31
Speaker 1: have detailed stories about a yellow Volkswagen that chases drivers,
1:36
Speaker 1: seemingly lost boys searching for his mother.
1:39
Speaker 1: And something sinister disguised as a beautiful woman and a
1:43
Speaker 1: whole lot more. But there's one particularly infamous story about
1:47
Speaker 1: Kara Highway. There are a few variations of this story,
1:51
Speaker 1: but the gist is always the same. A husband and
1:53
Speaker 1: a wife, along with their infant child are traveling around
1:57
Speaker 1: Kara Highway late at night. Their car breaks down and
2:00
Speaker 1: the husband goes to look for help, but not before
2:04
Speaker 1: telling his wife to stay in their vehicle.
2:06
Speaker 1: She waits for a while, but her husband doesn't return. Soon,
2:10
Speaker 1: she starts to hear scratching noises from the roof of
2:13
Speaker 1: their car, but she still doesn't get out.
2:17
Speaker 1: A police vehicle eventually pulls up beside the couple's car slowly.
2:22
Speaker 1: The officers instruct the wife to take her child and
2:24
Speaker 1: walk to their car, but tell her not to turn around.
2:29
Speaker 1: She follows their instructions, but once she's safe in their
2:33
Speaker 1: car and they're driving off, she risked taking a look
2:36
Speaker 1: back on the roof of her vehicle, she sees a
2:41
Speaker 1: Pontana eviscerating her husband.
2:45
Speaker 1: We could probably do an entire episode.
2:48
Speaker 1: Dedicated to Kara stories. But just to give you an
2:51
Speaker 1: idea of how corous this highway is, there's a whole
2:55
Speaker 1: movie about it. The film, according to the studio's description,
2:59
Speaker 1: is based on urban legends and other chilling sightings, end quote.
3:06
Speaker 1: Yeah,
3:07
Speaker 2: how do they fit all of that into one movie,
3:10
Speaker 2: and they did. I watched the movie. They managed in
3:12
Speaker 2: two hours. It was, it was pretty good actually. I
3:16
Speaker 2: enjoyed it was the 2000s, the late 2001, yeah,
3:19
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of versions of Kara Ai actually.
3:22
Speaker 1: So if I'm not wrong, there's another Malaysian movie, uh,
3:25
Speaker 1: which is a group of friends, right? Are you, are
3:28
Speaker 1: you referring to that, a group of friends or the
3:29
Speaker 1: one that the husband and the wife, the group of friends, right?
3:33
Speaker 2: But the one like they do almost every single one.
3:36
Speaker 2: They got they saw every single ghost. That's the one
3:38
Speaker 2: where they kind of tie it all together, right, like
3:40
Speaker 2: all the, all the different occurrences along Kara Highway are
3:43
Speaker 2: connected to each other. It's because of like maybe one
3:45
Speaker 2: family or something, yeah, yeah, because I, I remember there's
3:48
Speaker 2: one about the radio DJ getting on a call at night. Oh,
3:53
Speaker 2: this is something that you won't
3:53
Speaker 1: know, uh, so I heard about that also. So apparently
3:59
Speaker 1: there was this, uh.
3:59
Speaker 1: Uh, I think he did like a, uh, was it
4:02
Speaker 1: a horror show? I don't think it's a horror show.
4:04
Speaker 1: It's like more like more of like like like a
4:06
Speaker 1: talk show. So there's this caller called and then he,
4:09
Speaker 1: she was just, I think she is, I think it
4:11
Speaker 1: was a she, she was just explaining how she died
4:14
Speaker 1: in a in a in a bus crash or a
4:16
Speaker 1: car crash crash and they got spooked, you know, and,
4:19
Speaker 1: and apparently when I read the comments, apparently it's not planted,
4:22
Speaker 2: it's an actual
4:24
Speaker 2: call and then the person was like crying.
4:27
Speaker 2: Yeah it was really creepy and it was two hosts,
4:29
Speaker 2: 2 of them, they were in the studio and they
4:31
Speaker 2: were Malays, right? And then they were obviously freaked out
4:35
Speaker 2: and it's like, Are you OK? Are you OK? Uh,
4:38
Speaker 2: do you need me to call someone to help you?
4:40
Speaker 1: And then like if if I'm not wrong, like when
4:42
Speaker 1: when when she called and she was actually like very devastated,
4:45
Speaker 1: I think she did wrong with her mother or something
4:47
Speaker 1: and then like.
4:48
Speaker 1: Uh, then the accident happened and then she didn't, she
4:51
Speaker 1: didn't get to apologize or something like that.
4:54
Speaker 2: My favorite part of that story is the next day
4:57
Speaker 2: when the DJ finds out.
4:58
Speaker 2: That the accident happened exactly at the time that she
5:02
Speaker 2: got or just before the time
5:04
Speaker 1: that was like
5:04
Speaker 1: years ago, you know, years ago that that that incident happened,
5:07
Speaker 1: I think it was years ago and it's not recent. OK,
5:10
Speaker 1: I mean for Kara Highway, right, you guys heard about, uh,
5:13
Speaker 1: the yellow Volkswagen, you guys heard about the, uh, Pondana.
5:17
Speaker 1: Any other stories you guys heard, uh, uh, for Kara Highway,
5:20
Speaker 2: not, uh, directly at Kara la, but Kara cuts through
5:24
Speaker 2: like this, this, this mountainous area, right? And on top
5:27
Speaker 2: there's a very famous.
5:29
Speaker 2: Uh, casino, OK, then, uh, so there, there are temples there.
5:36
Speaker 2: So one of the stories that I heard is a
5:38
Speaker 2: bit out there, lah. One of the stories that I heard, uh,
5:40
Speaker 2: from a family member is that uh there are a
5:43
Speaker 2: few spiritual masters, they will go there and meditate.
5:47
Speaker 2: So, uh, some of them, uh, apparently they all meditated
5:51
Speaker 2: to a certain level, right? They started seeing the spirits
5:55
Speaker 2: of the mountain, like coming out of the mountain. So
5:59
Speaker 2: we're talking about like actual like a giant snake or something,
6:03
Speaker 2: like something resembling a naga or a dragon that's around
6:07
Speaker 2: the mountain because it's very high up. So you can
6:10
Speaker 2: see like some a bit of like the fog and
6:12
Speaker 2: the clouds, right? Then yeah, then then they saw that
6:15
Speaker 2: la when they were meditating.
6:17
Speaker 2: So that that's that's really out there like believe it
6:20
Speaker 2: or not, lah, but you know for me I was
6:22
Speaker 2: like why you're telling me that there's like a big
6:25
Speaker 2: snake that's inside the mountains itself be out there, but
6:29
Speaker 2: then again.
6:30
Speaker 2: We're talking about a highway that cuts through this, this
6:33
Speaker 2: whole entire area, whether if there's a lot a lot
6:36
Speaker 2: of energies that are there, you, you also cannot be sure, right?
6:39
Speaker 1: So, uh, Ka highway, I remember reading this story for
6:42
Speaker 1: my show. I don't know why, but it's usually a couple, OK,
6:45
Speaker 1: so there's this husband and wife, OK, they are married, right,
6:47
Speaker 1: so they don't, they are not skoodling, right? So the
6:50
Speaker 1: husband and wife and, uh, I think the toddler was
6:53
Speaker 1: sleeping behind at the back. So it's a normal, just
6:55
Speaker 1: imagine a normal sedan car, right? And then they were
6:57
Speaker 1: driving through Kara highway, uh, so.
7:00
Speaker 1: Uh, when they were driving, the wife suddenly smelled something very,
7:04
Speaker 1: very bad, you know, like very pungent, like, like the,
7:07
Speaker 1: the smell of feces or or like the smell of
7:09
Speaker 1: like a dead rat or something. So she like.
7:12
Speaker 1: What's this smell? Then she turned around, she turned around,
7:14
Speaker 1: go check the toddlers, the kids, uh, Pampers, right, to
7:17
Speaker 1: see whether, you know, uh, but, but, but the Pampers
7:19
Speaker 1: is empty, you know, and she turned to her husband,
7:22
Speaker 1: husband is driving, right? She turned to her husband, she
7:24
Speaker 1: asked her husband, Hey, uh, do you smell this? What
7:26
Speaker 1: does this smell? And then the husband took one glance
7:29
Speaker 1: at the rearview mirror, right, like, like driving.
7:33
Speaker 1: And she turned around, uh, he turned around to his
7:35
Speaker 1: wife said, um, don't talk about it anymore, just recite
7:38
Speaker 1: some prayers. And then they did, they did recite some prayers.
7:41
Speaker 1: Then after a while, after they drive around for a while,
7:44
Speaker 1: then the smell is gone. Long story short, they got
7:45
Speaker 1: home and then the husband told his wife.
7:49
Speaker 1: That when he took a glance at the at the
7:52
Speaker 1: rearview mirror, right, he saw one small kid, OK, like
7:56
Speaker 1: uh uh uh uh one small kid was sitting beside
8:01
Speaker 1: their kid that was sleeping, but the kid is like,
8:03
Speaker 1: you know, like a, I'm sorry to say this, but
8:05
Speaker 1: like a homeless kid, the shirt is like tons a girl,
8:09
Speaker 1: it's a girl, long hair, but then just just sitting
8:12
Speaker 1: like this.
8:14
Speaker 1: Not doing anything. So, um, I'm not sure, but, uh, maybe,
8:20
Speaker 1: you know, the the the the girl needs a ride
8:22
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know. I've read that show someone
8:25
Speaker 1: send in that story, uh, but I'm not sure.
8:29
Speaker 2: Have you been to
8:29
Speaker 2: Kaak yourself?
8:30
Speaker 1: Uh, I think once but unintentionally. So we were from.
8:35
Speaker 1: That mountain place, right, and then, uh, I think there
8:37
Speaker 1: was like a a gem like like a traffic, I
8:40
Speaker 1: think a traffic holdout was something we were supposed to
8:41
Speaker 1: take the other route, but then waste at that point
8:44
Speaker 1: of time, I think it was waste Waste or Google Maps.
8:46
Speaker 1: I think it's waste. Was took us to this another,
8:49
Speaker 1: another route which is now that I know it's Kara
8:53
Speaker 1: Highway apparently, right. So when I was there, I didn't
8:56
Speaker 1: notice this because I wasn't driving. It was my brother.
8:59
Speaker 1: I was sitting behind with my mom.
9:00
Speaker 1: So apparently I'm not sure whether this is true or not,
9:03
Speaker 1: but we were like we were at that car for
9:05
Speaker 1: quite some time, you know, because we want to avoid
9:07
Speaker 1: the jam at the other route, right, so we, we
9:09
Speaker 1: go through Kaiway, but apparently my mom said we were
9:12
Speaker 1: at that highway, right, for a very long time.
9:16
Speaker 1: Like, and every time, like, every time she told me
9:18
Speaker 1: every time she passed by the same thing over and
9:20
Speaker 1: over again, but then we didn't notice. That's the thing.
9:23
Speaker 2: To be fair, it's not just a kara everything, and
9:24
Speaker 2: we do have something similar in in another one of
9:26
Speaker 2: the stories, but it's something that I also brought out
9:28
Speaker 2: in the previous season as well. This whole idea of
9:31
Speaker 2: the never-ending road. It's one thing to see something on
9:34
Speaker 2: a highway because Mla you
9:37
Speaker 2: I don't know how fast the car can travel in
9:39
Speaker 2: terms of flying. I know nobody's ever measured like her,
9:43
Speaker 2: her kilometers per hour, how many how high she can hit,
9:46
Speaker 2: but at least in that case, right, OK, if you
9:49
Speaker 2: want to, you can try to outrun her. You can
9:52
Speaker 2: try to outrun a pananga, whatever it is.
9:55
Speaker 2: But if you cannot escape, is it the history? Is
9:58
Speaker 2: it the er just the energy in the area or anything,
10:01
Speaker 2: because I, as far as I remember seeing, there wasn't
10:04
Speaker 2: any history to Kaak in terms of at least the war,
10:08
Speaker 2: but you know what is in the history books versus
10:11
Speaker 2: what actually happened during the war.
10:13
Speaker 2: That's a whole other thing altogether, la.
10:14
Speaker 1: Actually that's a good question. Yeah, that's a very good question. Yeah,
10:17
Speaker 2: you
10:17
Speaker 2: probably could tie into what's inside the mountain, right, because
10:21
Speaker 2: mountain usually got a lot of the this very old,
10:24
Speaker 2: like got a lot of ancient spirits, right? We don't know.
10:27
Speaker 2: Maybe Orang Banyan also can be there. They might live there,
10:30
Speaker 2: you know, they might live there. So when you go in,
10:31
Speaker 2: then maybe you enter into their realm, then, then you
10:34
Speaker 2: cannot get out. You get lost. It takes a while
10:36
Speaker 2: for you to get out, so that kind of thing.
10:38
Speaker 2: Uh, in Mandarin we call it u it means that
10:40
Speaker 2: the ghost cover your eyes. You need to find a
10:43
Speaker 2: way out. Yeah, sometimes it takes like it may feel
10:46
Speaker 2: like 15 minutes, but it's more, more
10:48
Speaker 1: than that,
10:49
Speaker 2: more
10:49
Speaker 2: than that.
10:50
Speaker 1: Then you keep on passing the same
10:51
Speaker 2: yeah,
10:52
Speaker 1: I saw this just now.
10:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I
10:54
Speaker 2: think the, the, the creepy part about Kara for me
10:58
Speaker 2: is more like how close we are to it.
11:02
Speaker 2: Like, for example, like if I drive I can right
11:04
Speaker 2: now I can go there I can reach there probably
11:05
Speaker 2: at night,
11:06
Speaker 1: yeah, probably, probably like in 4 hours, 5 hours talking
11:10
Speaker 1: about Kara highway, right, you know, because of the ghost stories, right,
11:13
Speaker 1: because of, you know, the yellow Volkswagen and whatnot, and
11:15
Speaker 1: people say that it's a haunted highway.
11:18
Speaker 1: Uh, there's, you know, there's a lot of syndicate that
11:19
Speaker 1: happened there also, really there's a lot of syndicate that
11:23
Speaker 1: happened there. Yeah, so like people use the fact that
11:26
Speaker 1: people are scared of the road. So whenever they will
11:28
Speaker 1: plant like, I think I heard the story from like
11:30
Speaker 1: my mom or something, so they will plant like a car, right?
11:32
Speaker 1: They will plant a car. So whenever like a real
11:35
Speaker 1: car like pass by, right, then the car that is planted,
11:37
Speaker 1: they will follow them, follow them, then they will find
11:40
Speaker 1: the right place.
11:41
Speaker 1: Right time and they were like, give me your money
11:44
Speaker 1: or robbers ah wow. So they are, they are, I
11:49
Speaker 1: heard of those syndicates before so they are riding on
11:52
Speaker 1: the haunted place, you know.
11:54
Speaker 2: I feel like there's like a like a film there
11:56
Speaker 2: right like this part of cynic.
11:57
Speaker 2: They try to rob the yellow watch record because like
11:59
Speaker 2: give like give like normal person, but then they go
12:04
Speaker 2: back right it's hell money
12:05
Speaker 1: or like all lift
12:06
Speaker 2: yeah all live or hell money or that one I
12:08
Speaker 2: don't know what to say like
12:08
Speaker 2: wow,
12:11
Speaker 1: I just got robbed. I don't know whether you know.
12:14
Speaker 1: He, he or she still wants to be a
12:16
Speaker 1: robber,
12:16
Speaker 2: quite frankly, if I was, if I was a robber
12:18
Speaker 2: and I accidentally robbed the ghost, that is clearly a sign, right,
12:22
Speaker 2: that I need to turn my life around. So, so
12:25
Speaker 2: far I I'm, you're right, right. Would you ever ride
12:28
Speaker 2: through Kara Highway?
12:30
Speaker 2: OK,
12:32
Speaker 1: uh, for riding, right? I, OK, I, I drove to
12:35
Speaker 1: Thailand before. OK, I drove to Phuket before, uh, I
12:38
Speaker 1: drove to Hay before.
12:41
Speaker 1: Uh, but I wrote, I think the furthest I rode, uh,
12:43
Speaker 1: is to the mountain area, right? So before I went
12:48
Speaker 1: to the mountain area, uh, it was a smaller bike la. I,
12:51
Speaker 1: I rode R exec, right. I went to Malacca. So
12:54
Speaker 1: on the way back, right, uh, it doesn't have to
12:56
Speaker 1: go far, it doesn't have to go to Kra highway.
12:58
Speaker 1: You know how Malaysians, uh, Malaysia's highway is, right? So usually,
13:03
Speaker 1: I think the, the highways after Malacca, after Malacca going
13:06
Speaker 1: towards Kuala Lumpur, right?
13:07
Speaker 1: Usually it will be super dark. There's no lamppost. There
13:09
Speaker 1: will only be light, uh, if there's an exit, right?
13:13
Speaker 1: So imagine I was riding a two-stroke bike and my
13:16
Speaker 1: piston jam, and behind me, right, uh, my auntie pi
13:20
Speaker 1: and me, and this auntie is known, uh, to get
13:24
Speaker 1: possessed easily. Oh my God. And then so I was
13:27
Speaker 1: riding and then my bike broke, you know, my bike
13:31
Speaker 1: like suddenly shut down and I have to like maneuver
13:33
Speaker 1: to the left, right, to the to the road shoulder, right.
13:36
Speaker 1: Just imagine, right, it was legit pitch dark.
13:40
Speaker 1: And I wasn't afraid of, you know, people robbing me.
13:42
Speaker 1: I was afraid, what if my auntie right suddenly got possessed,
13:46
Speaker 1: then I had to chase her. You, you get what
13:47
Speaker 1: I mean. It was really, it was really dark, you know,
13:49
Speaker 1: but luckily, uh, it wasn't that bad, um, so I
13:52
Speaker 1: was the first one to go, and then my brothers
13:54
Speaker 1: were behind me, so they came, they came over and they,
13:57
Speaker 1: they helped me out. So if you were to ask me,
13:59
Speaker 1: would I want to ride, uh, my bike, uh, to
14:02
Speaker 1: go through Kara Highway, right, I would say no, especially, no.
14:05
Speaker 1: You give me $10,000 so I, I.
14:08
Speaker 1: I, I, I, I like my life, you know, treasure.
14:12
Speaker 2: So for the next one, in 2014, an online poll
14:16
Speaker 2: was conducted among 40,000 netizens to find out what were
14:20
Speaker 2: the top 10 haunted sites in Taiwan. The Taipei Yan
14:24
Speaker 2: Highway was the clear winner. The mountain road that takes
14:27
Speaker 2: you from New Taipei's Singtian.
14:29
Speaker 2: The District to Yilan County is known for its many
14:32
Speaker 2: twists and turns. The highway has also been the site
14:35
Speaker 2: of many fatal accidents, earning it the nickname the Highway
14:39
Speaker 2: of Death. Some motorists claim to have seen some ghostly
14:43
Speaker 2: aspirations and floating figures shrouded in white.
14:46
Speaker 2: It's been said that speaking or to picking up female
14:50
Speaker 2: hitchhikers along this highway won't end well. An article we
14:54
Speaker 2: read online interviewed a Yilan County counselor who said the
14:57
Speaker 2: highway had seen reduced traffic and fewer accidents since the
15:01
Speaker 2: Xueshan Tunnel began operating in 2006.
15:04
Speaker 2: The counselor added, quote, a program has been implemented to
15:07
Speaker 2: widen the road, and it was made more beautiful with
15:10
Speaker 2: landscaping works. The ghost stories are from the past and
15:13
Speaker 2: have no connections to the road's new work. So when
15:16
Speaker 2: and I talked about this on our own show about
15:18
Speaker 2: the Baiyi Highway, which is a part of the Taipei
15:21
Speaker 2: Yilan Highway. A couple of online sources state that that
15:24
Speaker 2: unburned or partially burned ghost paper, which is like hell money,
15:28
Speaker 2: can be seen along this stretch, adding to the place's vibes.
15:32
Speaker 2: Taiwan news apparently had an article dedicated to Baiyi and
15:35
Speaker 2: other spooky places in Taiwan, but it has been since
15:38
Speaker 2: taken down. It's probably a coincidence, but it's still a
15:42
Speaker 2: very eerie coincidence. Can I just say?
15:46
Speaker 2: If you have to have a statement, right, saying that
15:51
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about ghost stories along the highway.
15:55
Speaker 2: I'm quite sure you have to worry about ghost stories
15:57
Speaker 2: along the highway. Yeah, yeah, that's like, no, no, no, no,
16:01
Speaker 2: no ghost here anymore. I'm like, hm hm, really, I mean, even,
16:06
Speaker 2: I mean if you go to Taipei, right, like you
16:09
Speaker 2: go half up the mountains, right, which is near that
16:13
Speaker 2: that that stretch of highways, right.
16:15
Speaker 2: You can really feel the vibes already.
16:17
Speaker 1: It's like very eerie eerie is
16:19
Speaker 2: mountain roads and there are a few temples there on
16:23
Speaker 2: the way up also, yeah, so a lot of people
16:25
Speaker 2: like to go there. Uh, Singaporeans, when they go on tours,
16:29
Speaker 2: they will go there to pray for good luck, la.
16:32
Speaker 2: But of course, yeah, la, creepy, creepy, creepy
16:35
Speaker 2: place.
16:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, but, but I mean I mean that's the thing
16:38
Speaker 1: that's one thing about roads, because name me one road
16:41
Speaker 1: that has no accidents before. Probably every road, right? So
16:46
Speaker 1: whenever there's like loss of life, you know, something might,
16:49
Speaker 1: you know, still be there lingering around, you know what
16:52
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah,
16:53
Speaker 2: and, and, and I have this, I have this feeling, right?
16:57
Speaker 2: Roads are human's way of claiming back nature. So like
17:02
Speaker 2: you forcefully bash through the nature, right, right, you just
17:05
Speaker 2: bash through and you just build a road. Like it's
17:08
Speaker 2: through the mountains. You bus you don't know what was there.
17:11
Speaker 2: Then you forcefully bash through it and then you build
17:13
Speaker 2: then your
17:13
Speaker 2: car go.
17:14
Speaker 1: So, so obviously the entity there might be angry so hey.
17:17
Speaker 1: My home. Why? Why you why you breaking my mountain,
17:20
Speaker 1: you know,
17:21
Speaker 2: you said there was a lot of temples along this highway, right?
17:24
Speaker 2: Not along this highway towards la because it goes up
17:27
Speaker 2: the mountain one. Then, then, uh, there are this along, along, uh,
17:31
Speaker 2: towards the highway, and I think.
17:33
Speaker 2: Uh, they are there for a reason. They don't just
17:36
Speaker 2: pop up for no reason, and when there's an accident, right,
17:39
Speaker 2: then usually when it's fatal accident, then you know, then
17:42
Speaker 2: they will have to send like the undertaker to go
17:44
Speaker 2: and take, take the, the bodies, collect and send it
17:46
Speaker 2: to the morgue. So that journey itself also another. I
17:51
Speaker 2: imagine like that road, right.
17:53
Speaker 2: Perly having that also not good for the energy,
17:56
Speaker 1: you know, obviously because you don't know what's following the,
17:59
Speaker 1: the thing, you know what I mean so so there
18:01
Speaker 1: he's taking the, the body, but then something might follow
18:04
Speaker 1: also
18:05
Speaker 2: yeah the especially for the Chinese, right, they believe in, uh,
18:10
Speaker 2: tisukui means that, uh, replacement spirit.
18:13
Speaker 1: Replacement
18:14
Speaker 2: spirit. So like for example, this person, right, let's say
18:17
Speaker 2: got got into an accident because of a ghost. So
18:19
Speaker 2: that means the ghost before him, uh, he took the
18:22
Speaker 2: place of the ghost before him. Then the ghost can
18:26
Speaker 2: reincarnate or something.
18:28
Speaker 2: Then he, he will be the ghost to haunt the
18:30
Speaker 2: next one. Then it's it's a constant loop. It's a
18:33
Speaker 2: vicious cycle, yeah, so that's, that's why that's, that's what
18:38
Speaker 2: some of the Chinese believe la, like it's a cycle
18:41
Speaker 2: so it's like karmic, uh, that's why they, they want
18:44
Speaker 2: to haunt like that's why, uh, you also linked to
18:46
Speaker 2: the water spirits, the sea spirits, right, they will pull
18:49
Speaker 2: you down because they want to replace you. They want
18:52
Speaker 2: you to replace them and the next one and then
18:53
Speaker 2: you go and, yeah, you keep doing the cycle.
18:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, then until like maybe some spiritual master go and
18:58
Speaker 2: break the cycle or something la. So I, I guess
19:01
Speaker 2: that that is also what why the roads there are
19:04
Speaker 2: super haunted because there's a lot of replacement replacement going on. Yeah,
19:09
Speaker 1: so like this type of roads usually if you guys
19:11
Speaker 1: said like like especially like mountain areas, you know, sometimes
19:15
Speaker 1: not that people want to.
19:16
Speaker 1: Drive slow. No, no, no, because they are scared they
19:18
Speaker 1: will like, you know, go to go, you know, drive
19:21
Speaker 1: down or whatever, but sometimes they drive slow because they
19:24
Speaker 1: are afraid something, uh, will fly or walk past in
19:28
Speaker 1: front of their car.
19:29
Speaker 2: They will lose control. Yeah,
19:31
Speaker 2: yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not just the mountain road zone
19:34
Speaker 2: like first ever ghost story I heard about a road, um,
19:38
Speaker 2: I think it was near Lim Chu Kang Cemetery, so
19:43
Speaker 2: this woman stops a cab.
19:44
Speaker 2: And she asked the, the cab driver uncle can take
19:46
Speaker 2: me to wherever la. So as he's driving along, right,
19:50
Speaker 2: this figure runs in front of the car and turns
19:54
Speaker 2: to face the car, suddenly just runs in front of
19:56
Speaker 2: the car, and the figure has no face, just whatever
20:00
Speaker 2: skin tone, no eyes, no nose, no mouth, just no
20:03
Speaker 2: features on the face.
20:05
Speaker 2: And then the, the woman is like, Uncle, uncle, did
20:07
Speaker 2: you see that? There was, there was the man with
20:08
Speaker 2: no face, and the taxi uncle just goes, Aiyah, you
20:11
Speaker 2: imagining things la. So he keeps driving and it happens
20:15
Speaker 2: twice more and both times the lady back, Uncle, come on,
20:19
Speaker 2: you have had to see that that man just ran
20:20
Speaker 2: past on there after the 3rd time.
20:23
Speaker 2: The taxi driver just turns to face the woman and goes, Oh,
20:26
Speaker 2: you mean like this? And he turns around and the
20:29
Speaker 2: taxi driver also got no face. The very, I still
20:33
Speaker 2: remember I was probably like 1314, the very first story
20:38
Speaker 2: I heard specifically ghost story about the road. So, so,
20:41
Speaker 2: so back to.
20:42
Speaker 2: To Taipei, right, I, I just recall a story. Um,
20:46
Speaker 2: there's this story that I, I heard online where, uh,
20:49
Speaker 2: it's basically a group of friends, uh, young, young, uh,
20:53
Speaker 2: university students, and like, hey, we go, we go rounding
20:56
Speaker 2: right at night go rounding, but, but, but they, they,
20:59
Speaker 2: they on scooters la like e-scooters, no, no, no, like,
21:03
Speaker 2: like
21:03
Speaker 1: scooters bikes,
21:06
Speaker 2: and, uh, it's up the mountain, right? It's, it's not
21:08
Speaker 2: all the way up, halfway up only.
21:10
Speaker 2: So then, OK, we go rounding there. OK. So there
21:12
Speaker 2: were 5 of them, 2 of them were a couple,
21:15
Speaker 2: then 1 is 1 guy. So they went up. They
21:18
Speaker 2: went out. Then it's very foggy. So went up they like, uh, the, the,
21:24
Speaker 2: the guy who was single, I think he wrote in
21:26
Speaker 2: the front alone, but I think he's scared lah. Then
21:29
Speaker 2: he's like, OK, you all got Plan right then you
21:30
Speaker 2: all watch my back. You all wash my so Iride fast,
21:34
Speaker 2: then they go up.
21:35
Speaker 2: So as they are going up the mountain, right, he
21:38
Speaker 2: felt that his bike was getting heavier and heavier. Yeah, then, right, uh,
21:45
Speaker 2: I think they, they stop at a there's a pavilion,
21:49
Speaker 2: they stop at the pavilion, and this pavilion is also
21:52
Speaker 2: known to be haunted because people like to end themselves
21:55
Speaker 2: there at the pavilion.
21:57
Speaker 2: So a lot of fatalities there la. So you sit
22:00
Speaker 2: there chill, then nothing much happened. Then, OK, then yeah, OK,
22:04
Speaker 2: time to go back. So go down, right. So when
22:07
Speaker 2: all of them go down this time now he's the
22:08
Speaker 2: last one, so they left. Then as he goes, right,
22:12
Speaker 2: he's trying to speed up, but he cannot catch his friends.
22:14
Speaker 2: His friends go faster and faster, and then he's very foggy.
22:16
Speaker 2: It's like mountain, so very foggy. So he felt that
22:19
Speaker 2: his bike was getting slower and slower, like almost like
22:22
Speaker 2: something dragging the the bike down. Then he
22:27
Speaker 2: He did not dare to look back, but he caught
22:29
Speaker 2: a glimpse of a hand on him.
22:34
Speaker 2: From the back from the mid rear view mirror, by
22:36
Speaker 2: the time they went to the meeting part, which is
22:38
Speaker 2: outside a convenience store, my friend is like, we've been
22:40
Speaker 2: trying to call you for the past one hour. Where
22:43
Speaker 2: were you? Why are you so slow? Where were you said, No,
22:46
Speaker 2: you go in front of me. I don't know where
22:48
Speaker 2: you all go. I said no. We went up and
22:50
Speaker 2: then we cannot find you.
22:52
Speaker 2: Then he said, Where the hell are you? I said, No,
22:54
Speaker 2: we were chilling at the pavilion, we talking all. He said, No,
22:57
Speaker 2: we cannot find you. So we went back to the
22:59
Speaker 2: convenience shop. Then he said, then who the hell was
23:02
Speaker 2: I talking to? Oh my at the pavilion. So he
23:06
Speaker 2: was alone at the.
23:08
Speaker 2: Pavilion talking to ghosts who look like his friends who
23:11
Speaker 2: look like his friends. Now there's a few endings to
23:14
Speaker 2: this story. So the one ending is that nothing happened
23:17
Speaker 2: to him. Like he, he, he went back to his days.
23:21
Speaker 2: Another one was that he got very, very sick. He
23:23
Speaker 2: went home, then he got like high fever. Then the
23:25
Speaker 2: mom like sent him. Then they go get like tangy
23:28
Speaker 2: to clear the spirits and the most.
23:31
Speaker 2: Dark ending is the last one where he actually perished
23:34
Speaker 2: in an accident a few days later. Yeah, quite a
23:37
Speaker 2: fatal accident. So depending on the version that you hear
23:41
Speaker 2: or listen to, that's the story, that's the most famous
23:44
Speaker 2: story that I've heard of that place. Yeah, it's damn creepy,
23:48
Speaker 2: yeah.
23:50
Speaker 1: Kashiriguard on the Mumbai Goa Highway is often regarded as
23:53
Speaker 1: one of India's most haunted highways. Climbing through the Sayadri Mountains,
23:59
Speaker 1: Kashiriga is known for sharp bends, steep climbs, but thanks
24:03
Speaker 1: partly to its sometimes misty atmosphere, it's also earned a
24:07
Speaker 1: reputation for being an eerie stretch to drive through.
24:11
Speaker 1: Some drivers have supposedly seen ghosts in the middle of
24:14
Speaker 1: the road or claimed to have been trapped in an
24:16
Speaker 1: endless loop, though this is a highway known for its
24:20
Speaker 1: many twists and turns. Others have said that the stretch
24:23
Speaker 1: is haunted by flesh eating witches who target anyone carrying
24:27
Speaker 1: non-vegetarian food with them. There's also been reports of mysterious
24:32
Speaker 1: figure that will try to stop your vehicle and if
24:35
Speaker 1: you refuse to stop for this figure, you are destined
24:39
Speaker 1: to meet with a major accident.
24:41
Speaker 2: In India is large la. I'm sure, I'm sure there's
24:43
Speaker 2: there's a lot of these kind of highways, and that's
24:45
Speaker 2: the thing like this is just, I'm quite sure we
24:48
Speaker 2: can find like 2 or 3 of the highways, or
24:51
Speaker 2: at least a few of the highways are very similar
24:53
Speaker 2: to this in India. But the one, the thing that
24:55
Speaker 2: jumps out at me is the witch, the witch, the
24:58
Speaker 2: flesh eating witch that stops you for carrying non-vegetarian food
25:02
Speaker 2: because that I feel like is specific to this one
25:06
Speaker 2: particular highway. I haven't, I haven't.
25:08
Speaker 2: Heard or seen any stories that are similar to this
25:10
Speaker 2: on any other highways in India. It's quite interesting also
25:14
Speaker 2: considering that it's a, it's a largely vegetarian country, so
25:17
Speaker 2: to have that particular thing, it's focused on that particular
25:22
Speaker 2: country's culture or dominant religion or anything, but this is
25:26
Speaker 2: very specific to India.
25:28
Speaker 1: So, so, so what do you think this, this flesh
25:29
Speaker 1: eating which just target, you know, carrying no, uh, people
25:32
Speaker 1: who carry non-vege vegetarian food with them. Like, I mean, like,
25:36
Speaker 1: of course, they are disrespecting the really,
25:39
Speaker 2: I think that's probably it lah. I think it's just
25:41
Speaker 2: the disrespect, which is such a weird, it's such a
25:44
Speaker 2: weird dichotomy, right? We've got like, it's such a, it's, it's.
25:49
Speaker 2: It's a religious practice to be vegetarian and understandable as well,
25:53
Speaker 2: but then you go on the flip side of that
25:55
Speaker 2: is like, oh, if you're not react well, this flesh
25:57
Speaker 2: eating which will come and will come for you and
26:00
Speaker 2: then devour you know like the confines of the religion, yes,
26:03
Speaker 2: of course, it's, it's very disrespectful and everything, but the
26:05
Speaker 2: punishment is like very extreme, almost defiling the religion in
26:09
Speaker 2: that way. So it's, it's horrifying, man. I don't know.
26:12
Speaker 2: I feel like my, my, my thing is slightly different
26:15
Speaker 2: in a sense whereby.
26:16
Speaker 2: It could be that meat triggers the witches to appear
26:20
Speaker 2: and they have like they want to eat yeah then
26:24
Speaker 2: they want to eat the meat, but then they see
26:26
Speaker 2: there's something better flesh and blood, life one eat this one,
26:31
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, it's like a bit, it's
26:32
Speaker 2: like a bit, yeah, so like you trigger them, then they, they,
26:34
Speaker 2: they come after you know it's not that they are
26:37
Speaker 2: because you are saying because like vegetarian is, is, is, is, uh,
26:40
Speaker 2: like part of the religion, yeah, part of religion.
26:43
Speaker 2: They are not like they are not deities or anything.
26:45
Speaker 2: Why would they enforce that? And yeah, so I will,
26:49
Speaker 2: I would say that it could possibly be a trigger.
26:51
Speaker 2: So like you attract them, like, you know, like drop water,
26:54
Speaker 2: drop blood in sea, then the, the sharks will come
26:57
Speaker 2: probably similar to that.
26:58
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's like baiting, yeah, baiting technically you
27:00
Speaker 1: are the bait,
27:01
Speaker 2: yeah, you become the bait la then they chase. I,
27:03
Speaker 2: I was thinking more along lines of, oh, you come
27:05
Speaker 2: down there expecting appetizer, then you get like a full
27:07
Speaker 2: main course. It's like wow.
27:11
Speaker 2: But, but have you heard of any stories of riders
27:14
Speaker 2: that that got chased by entities while riding?
27:17
Speaker 1: Chased by entities, no, but uh they did a bike
27:21
Speaker 1: story is normal. So, so whenever like I've heard stories
27:24
Speaker 1: that people shared with me before, like whenever, you know,
27:27
Speaker 1: whenever they are when they are young, they like to
27:29
Speaker 1: go to adventures, right? So they like to go to
27:31
Speaker 1: all these scary places, you know, with their bikes, friends,
27:33
Speaker 1: and they just live out there, right, sit around. So
27:36
Speaker 1: usually it happens when they want to go back. So
27:39
Speaker 1: when they want to go back.
27:40
Speaker 1: They will feel like they will feel that suddenly their
27:43
Speaker 1: bike got so heavy, you know, the engine started to like,
27:47
Speaker 1: but the bike is not moving, the bike isn't moving.
27:49
Speaker 1: So those type of stories I usually hear amongst the
27:52
Speaker 1: riders la. Some, uh, stories that I heard before, uh,
27:58
Speaker 1: I think this happened in Malaysia.
28:00
Speaker 1: So again, the bike got heavy, but this time around, uh,
28:03
Speaker 1: instead of you said it was a hand, right, it's
28:05
Speaker 1: actually like he, he felt like there's a hair like,
28:07
Speaker 1: you know, you know when your peripheral vision, you can
28:09
Speaker 1: see the hair like that, right? So when you look
28:11
Speaker 1: at the side mirror, right, he literally saw like white
28:14
Speaker 1: like this one, this one right sitting like that, no.
28:17
Speaker 1: So what he did, right, you see, you know, the
28:19
Speaker 1: side mirror you can face up, right? So he literally
28:21
Speaker 1: face up and he like he pray, he pray, pray
28:24
Speaker 1: then afterward he got, he got lighter and lighter.
28:26
Speaker 1: Mostly, mostly that's what I usually hear for, for riders
28:30
Speaker 1: in Singapore. In Singapore, it happened before. Singapore, I think
28:34
Speaker 1: for the Kaka Kaka sitting at the back, I think
28:37
Speaker 1: that one is in Malaysia.
28:39
Speaker 2: Yeah,
28:40
Speaker 2: creepy, so it's not easy. You order late night supper,
28:44
Speaker 2: then people still have to,
28:45
Speaker 1: it's not easy. It's not easy.
28:47
Speaker 2: People have to endure the spiritual side of things, you know,
28:50
Speaker 2: tip your delivery riders, especially if you're getting late night supper,
28:55
Speaker 2: tip them, tip them a lot. Uh, let's focus, OK, my,
28:58
Speaker 2: my segue game not as strong as yours, but let's
29:00
Speaker 2: focus on cars that don't normally have passengers. OK. So
29:04
Speaker 2: we're going to return to Singapore, specifically all Upper Thompson Road.
29:08
Speaker 2: Before the F1 was a big deal, there was the
29:11
Speaker 2: Singapore Grand Prix.
29:13
Speaker 2: Um, O Upper Thomson Road is part of this race
29:16
Speaker 2: from 1961 to 1973 along with other car and motorcycle races.
29:22
Speaker 2: It was during this period when one of the most
29:25
Speaker 2: difficult sections of this course earned the nickname the Devil's
29:29
Speaker 2: Bend because it was a difficult turn at the best
29:32
Speaker 2: of times and a dangerous one at the worst. In
29:36
Speaker 2: the relatively short time that the road was used for
29:39
Speaker 2: the Singapore Grand Prix, the devil's pen led to the
29:42
Speaker 2: deaths of 7 drivers.
29:45
Speaker 2: After 1973, its reputation only continued to grow. The stretch
29:50
Speaker 2: came to be known as a site for several accidents.
29:53
Speaker 2: In 2008, for example, two polytechnic students lost their lives
29:58
Speaker 2: in a crash along Del's Bend. So it's no wonder
30:01
Speaker 2: that many claim the stretch is haunted.
30:04
Speaker 2: Numerous drivers claim to have seen ghosts, but the most
30:07
Speaker 2: notorious story has been one told by taxi drivers who
30:11
Speaker 2: say that they would pick up passengers that would pay
30:16
Speaker 2: with helmets.
30:18
Speaker 1: Have you been to Devil's Ben? Yes,
30:19
Speaker 2: yes,
30:20
Speaker 2: but it's quite sharp. It's quite sharp,
30:22
Speaker 1: right?
30:22
Speaker 2: I cycled there also.
30:24
Speaker 2: Very dangerous. I did it at
30:27
Speaker 1: night. One of the stories that I heard about that band, right, is,
30:31
Speaker 1: you know, whenever like, I think this is like later on,
30:33
Speaker 1: I think 2000s, early 2000s, when people, you know, people
30:36
Speaker 1: go there to test their skills, you know, especially the writers.
30:39
Speaker 1: So they they test their skills, you know, cornering skills.
30:42
Speaker 1: So I had a lot of studies where all these
30:44
Speaker 1: riders get into an accident because whenever they are cornering, right,
30:47
Speaker 1: you know, when you're cornering, you are leaning towards it, right?
30:49
Speaker 1: So usually at the side of the road they will
30:52
Speaker 1: see like a kaka is just, you know, just like
30:54
Speaker 1: boom like that oh my God they will lose balance
30:57
Speaker 1: and then they will they will they will they will
30:59
Speaker 1: got into an accident, yeah. So that's, that's one of
31:01
Speaker 1: the most common thing I heard about the devil's men.
31:04
Speaker 1: My
31:04
Speaker 2: geography is not the best in the world. It's quite
31:07
Speaker 2: close to Lonnie Road, right? Yes, OK. That means that, um,
31:11
Speaker 2: a friend of mine told me the story about that
31:12
Speaker 2: place and he got into an accident.
31:15
Speaker 2: Either
31:16
Speaker 2: Along Upper Thompson Road or closer to Lonnie Road. So
31:19
Speaker 2: around that area anyway, it's similar to what you say
31:22
Speaker 2: where they saw a Kaka on the road and then they,
31:26
Speaker 2: they got into a crash on there. So my friend
31:28
Speaker 2: was riding on there and he's a relatively safe rider, like,
31:33
Speaker 2: you know, um, I mean, everybody, everybody makes mistakes here
31:35
Speaker 2: and there, but he was always relatively safe, and he was,
31:37
Speaker 2: I think he was riding with his girlfriend at the time,
31:40
Speaker 2: and he was riding down the stretch and he saw.
31:44
Speaker 2: The way he described it is a very black dog,
31:49
Speaker 2: but dog doesn't seem to really fit the scripture. It,
31:52
Speaker 2: it almost seems like the shape of a creature, but
31:56
Speaker 2: it was black, just pitch black. So like no features,
32:00
Speaker 2: nothing like that. It's just, I guess the closest thing
32:02
Speaker 2: you could compare it to was a dog la because
32:03
Speaker 2: it looked like it was on all fours, and when
32:06
Speaker 2: he saw that immediately he swerved.
32:08
Speaker 2: I think if I'm not wrong this was his first
32:11
Speaker 2: accident on a bike ever and he just swerved off
32:14
Speaker 2: and he swears by it like, you know, we, we
32:17
Speaker 2: were all once we knew him and his girlfriend of 5,
32:19
Speaker 2: we were all joking. ah sure a black dog, ah,
32:21
Speaker 2: not that you, not that you weren't paying attention and you,
32:24
Speaker 2: but he was always there to use, I'm telling you
32:26
Speaker 2: I saw this black ship down there and then I
32:28
Speaker 2: swerved off and then I crashed on there. So the
32:30
Speaker 2: same area.
32:31
Speaker 2: So it wasn't cut, but it was something la,
32:35
Speaker 1: some
32:35
Speaker 1: entity to think about it. I'm quite lucky yeah yeah
32:38
Speaker 1: I mean like but but like all this while I've
32:42
Speaker 1: been riding, right, I don't really like face this sort
32:45
Speaker 1: of issues.
32:47
Speaker 1: Thank God, thank God. Speaking of car, have you heard
32:50
Speaker 1: about the Tie uh incident? I think there's two. I'm
32:54
Speaker 1: not sure this is an urban legend or it's a
32:55
Speaker 1: true story, but have you heard about, OK, so there's
32:58
Speaker 1: these 22 sisters lah, right, so they were driving and
33:01
Speaker 1: then their car got broke down. I think this happened
33:02
Speaker 1: in the 1990s or like early 2000s, so.
33:06
Speaker 1: Their car broke down, I think at Yuno's area or something,
33:09
Speaker 1: and then uh it was, I think it was right
33:11
Speaker 1: after Margrib and then they were trying, they were trying
33:13
Speaker 1: to like fix the car but I cannot, cannot start
33:15
Speaker 1: back right so they just parked at the side. Then, uh,
33:17
Speaker 1: one of them ran to the public phone, go and
33:19
Speaker 1: call the brother, ask them what to do. Then the
33:21
Speaker 1: brother say, just put the car at the side, go,
33:23
Speaker 1: go find a taxi, la, right? So they waited they waited,
33:26
Speaker 1: they hail hailed the taxi, no taxi, you know, like
33:28
Speaker 1: imagine that timing, but no taxi.
33:30
Speaker 1: So they waited, they waited, then suddenly got one taxi
33:32
Speaker 1: pop up out of nowhere, you know, like pop up,
33:34
Speaker 1: stop at by the side of the road and like.
33:36
Speaker 1: Come in, you know, like that, so they, they go in,
33:38
Speaker 1: they go in, so.
33:40
Speaker 1: When these two ladies go in, right, these sisters go in,
33:43
Speaker 1: they sit at the back, and then they had a conversation. So,
33:45
Speaker 1: so the taxi driver, then they told, they described the
33:48
Speaker 1: taxi driver as like very old, you know, like very old,
33:50
Speaker 1: but like, how are you, you know, like normal taxi driver.
33:54
Speaker 1: So they had this conversation for so long, you know,
33:56
Speaker 1: so they wanted to go to Yunus. So, so for example, ah, Bedok, I,
33:59
Speaker 1: I can't recall the precise location, but it's from Bedok
34:02
Speaker 1: to Eunos or Yunus from Bedok I forget already. But
34:05
Speaker 1: Bedok to Yunus, how many minutes do you need?
34:07
Speaker 1: Like maybe at max 20 minutes, 15 minutes, right?
34:11
Speaker 1: So imagine they will talk, talk,
34:14
Speaker 1: to a point that suddenly they when they look at
34:17
Speaker 1: the watch, right, it's like more than 1 hour 1
34:19
Speaker 1: hour already, you know, they still, I don't know, they
34:21
Speaker 1: like stuck in one realm, right, never ending, never ending.
34:25
Speaker 1: That really then like they, they tried to like are
34:27
Speaker 1: we reaching it they asked thei drive are we reaching
34:29
Speaker 1: it then uh 5 minutes later what they suddenly reached
34:33
Speaker 1: at the void deck, right? So they, they, they.
34:36
Speaker 1: They want to pay lah, the taxi driver, right, they
34:38
Speaker 1: want to pay the taxi uncle, so they give money,
34:40
Speaker 1: but then the taxi uncle didn't want, didn't didn't want
34:43
Speaker 1: the money and didn't want the money. So, OK la,
34:45
Speaker 1: then the, the sister go down already. Then the younger
34:48
Speaker 1: sister tried to pay, you know, still, still trying to pay.
34:52
Speaker 1: Then the uncle do what no it's OK, it's OK.
34:54
Speaker 1: Then the sister like, Hey, faster, faster, faster go go
34:57
Speaker 1: go go the car, go out the car.
34:59
Speaker 1: When the youngest sister go out.
35:01
Speaker 1: They walk towards the lift lobby, right, when they turn
35:03
Speaker 1: behind the taxi, right, it's actually not a taxi. It's
35:06
Speaker 1: like a, like a very, very, very old car, like,
35:10
Speaker 1: you know, very rusty, like I think the glass broke
35:12
Speaker 1: or what it's like, yeah, it's, is that sort of
35:15
Speaker 1: vehicle is very old, and then the car suddenly just
35:19
Speaker 1: disappeared like that. Oh, this is, this is hardcore. I
35:22
Speaker 1: don't know whether this is urban legend. I'm not sure
35:23
Speaker 1: whether this is a true story, but, uh, this is
35:26
Speaker 1: one of the stories that one of my, one of
35:27
Speaker 1: the senders sent it to me. This question is for everyone.
35:31
Speaker 1: Have you personally experienced anything while driving down a supposedly
35:35
Speaker 1: haunted road?
35:36
Speaker 2: Went to abandoned military camps. We went to Bukit Brown Cemetery,
35:41
Speaker 2: drive inside, ah,
35:42
Speaker 1: Bukit Brown, OK, yeah,
35:44
Speaker 2: so, so, uh, my friend, he drove a pickup. Then, uh,
35:47
Speaker 2: I was the lucky one. I see inside the cab
35:48
Speaker 2: with him and two guys see outside, you know, the
35:51
Speaker 2: open one. So we just sat outside, we just drive
35:53
Speaker 2: through Bukit round for half an hour.
35:55
Speaker 2: It was like a challenge thing you there there la, OK,
35:58
Speaker 2: two of us, we sit behind this one
36:00
Speaker 1: like ego, you know,
36:01
Speaker 2: fighting eagle fighting
36:02
Speaker 2: the two of them, the two of them often see
36:03
Speaker 2: i i it's OK. Yeah, that's inside. I inside I
36:08
Speaker 2: also scared because when we high beam right, you can
36:10
Speaker 2: see everything. You can see all the tombs. It's damn scary.
36:14
Speaker 2: Uh, then we also drove through Lim Chu Kang. I
36:18
Speaker 2: think Lim Chu Kang is the most creepiest vibe I feel.
36:22
Speaker 1: I think
36:22
Speaker 1: for me, uh, unintentionally, I think, I don't know if
36:25
Speaker 1: you guys know, uh, Sarrimbo. So back then, uh, I
36:29
Speaker 1: had uh one.
36:30
Speaker 1: One of my auntie actually worked at OBS. It's near there.
36:34
Speaker 1: When I was younger, I didn't know that place is
36:36
Speaker 1: scary la, that place is haunted. But then as I
36:38
Speaker 1: grew older, then my mom used to say, you know,
36:41
Speaker 1: last time you always follow us, go fetch our auntie, right? Go,
36:45
Speaker 1: go fetch my sister, you know that place is actually very,
36:47
Speaker 1: very haunted, right? So I, I didn't know lah. I
36:50
Speaker 1: didn't know. I think Sere bone and then, uh, what else,
36:54
Speaker 1: what else? Old Tammany, I used to, I used to
36:57
Speaker 1: write for deliver for one fast food company.
37:01
Speaker 1: So whenever I need to hunt, uh, I need to say,
37:03
Speaker 1: I need to hunt what to say whenever I need
37:06
Speaker 1: to deliver to like Hougang area, I need to pass
37:08
Speaker 1: by Old Tampines Road or
37:10
Speaker 2: you have to go through
37:10
Speaker 2: la because it's the fastest la. Oh my God, yeah.
37:15
Speaker 2: Any anything happen? No,
37:17
Speaker 1: that's why I see it.
37:18
Speaker 1: Like, right, right, that's
37:19
Speaker 2: why
37:20
Speaker 1: I
37:20
Speaker 2: say
37:20
Speaker 1: like
37:20
Speaker 2: creepy about this situation, but there's, there's things that just
37:24
Speaker 2: don't really add up. So we're going to, um, a
37:27
Speaker 2: hot wings chicken place at um the public area along
37:32
Speaker 2: Seletar Air Base. We were driving there and it's not like, um,
37:35
Speaker 2: it's not like my friend hadn't driven there before. Now, yes,
37:39
Speaker 2: there was a lot of construction going on, so things
37:41
Speaker 2: change here and there, but still you could get the
37:44
Speaker 2: basic idea of where everything was, even though there was
37:46
Speaker 2: like renovation construction on here.
37:49
Speaker 2: We tried driving there and normally it will take us
37:52
Speaker 2: from the moment you enter the Seletar Airbase area it
37:54
Speaker 2: normally take us like 5 minutes tops to get to
37:58
Speaker 2: the hot, the spicy chicken wings place.
38:01
Speaker 2: This time it took us about 15 to 20 minutes
38:03
Speaker 2: and we kept taking wrong turns everywhere and it's not
38:06
Speaker 2: a complicated road by any stretch. We just kept taking
38:10
Speaker 2: wrong turns, we kept ending up in different like areas
38:13
Speaker 2: where they were under construction. We're like, how the hell
38:15
Speaker 2: did we end up here? And like the more I
38:17
Speaker 2: think back about it, the more I was thinking myself,
38:19
Speaker 2: how did that even happen? I think it was later
38:21
Speaker 2: on what I found interesting was later on, um, when
38:24
Speaker 2: we were doing our own show, somebody submitted a story
38:26
Speaker 2: about how they saw.
38:28
Speaker 2: Ah, Panangal in the area and that same thing happened
38:30
Speaker 2: to them also. They, they kept getting turned around along
38:33
Speaker 2: a road that's relatively straightforward and simple and then in
38:37
Speaker 2: one of these areas.
38:39
Speaker 2: They happened to see like a glowing light in the
38:42
Speaker 2: in the rear view glowing
38:43
Speaker 2: red orbit and then
38:45
Speaker 1: sorry, were were you guys having fun in the car?
38:48
Speaker 2: Were we having we no, no,
38:50
Speaker 2: we were actually
38:51
Speaker 1: as in before, before you realized that you keep on
38:53
Speaker 1: taking the wrong turns, right? Were you like laughing out,
38:55
Speaker 1: you know,
38:55
Speaker 2: honestly
38:56
Speaker 2: we were, we were, we were laughing the entire
38:57
Speaker 2: way through,
38:58
Speaker 1: you know I think that's why in Malay, right, there's
39:00
Speaker 1: this saying, uh, ganka sang, so which translates to Don't
39:05
Speaker 1: laugh too much. You will cry later on.
39:07
Speaker 1: And I think this is one of those cases that,
39:09
Speaker 1: you know, like,
39:11
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but whenever you have too much fun,
39:14
Speaker 1: you know, um,
39:16
Speaker 1: This kind of entity tends to like misguide you, you know, like, oh,
39:19
Speaker 1: I want to have some fun too, you know, let's
39:22
Speaker 1: put you make you turn the
39:23
Speaker 1: wrong way.
39:24
Speaker 2: All right, so it's that time once again where we
39:27
Speaker 2: will
39:28
Speaker 2: Put the gears down, clearly not a driver. You put
39:31
Speaker 2: the gears down, start slowing down the car and hit
39:34
Speaker 2: the brakes. Kyle, please share with us the morbid facts
39:38
Speaker 2: of the day. So, according to a clinical psychologist, right,
39:41
Speaker 2: the reason why we slow down when we drive by
39:44
Speaker 2: traffic accidents is because we want to know as many
39:47
Speaker 2: details as we can. The psychologist says, quote, You want
39:52
Speaker 2: reassurance that this couldn't happen to you because you're safer
39:55
Speaker 2: than that, end quote.
39:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that maybe you can add one more
39:59
Speaker 2: la like Singaporeans want the number because honestly, right, OK, ah,
40:06
Speaker 2: maybe psychologically, subconsciously at the back, I've never ever known
40:11
Speaker 2: anybody slow down or accident, right, not to get 40 number.
40:15
Speaker 2: Yeah,
40:16
Speaker 1: but, but for me, right, whenever I pass pass by
40:18
Speaker 1: like an accident, right, it's just for me to check
40:20
Speaker 1: like not my family member.
40:22
Speaker 2: I think that's fair. Yeah,
40:24
Speaker 1: but if they want the number, why just don't have
40:26
Speaker 1: to slow down that much, right? Just drive slow and
40:28
Speaker 2: people are,
40:29
Speaker 2: I mean nowadays people just rip out their smartphones, right,
40:31
Speaker 2: and then they just film it.
40:33
Speaker 1: Because of them because of them,
40:35
Speaker 2: yeah, yeah, exactly, and, and it's, I think morbid curiosity,
40:40
Speaker 2: you know, there's a saying that you, you, you, you,
40:42
Speaker 2: you want to see an accident like you, you can't
40:45
Speaker 2: turn away from an accident because you want to see
40:47
Speaker 2: what happened what happened ah I think it's quite universal.
