Pulau Tekong

Pulau Tekong · Singapore · Haunted site

On this military island, one barracks is said to have been given a third door – cut for the spirit of the recruit who died on a route march in 1983.

Pulau Tekong off Singapore's east coast is the country's main military training island, and every new generation of recruits inherits its most famous ghost story. In May 1983 a young recruit went missing during a 16-kilometre route march and was later found dead; soon after, soldiers began hearing his shouts at the assembly ground and seeing a white figure by his old locker. According to the legend, religious leaders were called in and advised the army to cut a third door into the barracks so the restless spirit could leave – and the "three-door bunk" remains the most talked-about spot among Singapore's conscripts, even though the Ministry of Defence has never confirmed it exists.
