The Legend of Pulau Ubin near Singapore :: Urban Legends Ghost Stories

The Legend of Pulau UbinThe story I chose to consider was about wiz of the small islands that surround Singapore, Pulau Ubin. This is a small island whose main industries are mining and tourism, including trails for biking and hiking. The island has an interesting past, and as a result it now has many legends and myths revolving around it. During the railway line of the Singapore by the Japanese, it was said to be where they had brought soldiers to be tortured. That is a significant reason why people believe its haunted.The person from whom I perceive the story is wholeness of the students who lives across the hall from me on the 7th floor in La Plata. His family comes from India, hardly he lived in many places since birth, one of them existence Singapore, and now his family lives in New Jersey. Also, he is nineteen years old. I collected the story on the afternoon of October 14th, it was right after we had all finished classes. When I asked the storyteller if he knew any ghos t stories or urban legends and myths, he first attempted to respond with, Casper, but I told him no I need real things you have heard. After that he jumped right into the story from Singapore about Pulau UbinOk, when I lived in Singapore, its an island and there were all these surrounding islands, and one was Pulau Ubin. Like its not ghetto, but not with fancy resorts. People would go there for hiking and biking, stuff bid that. Before, there used to be animals, like tigers, but now there arent any. So you would hear about every year, no every two years like you hear of a family disappearing while they went there for hiking, the whole family. They would send search parties and stuff out, and later they would find pieces of meat, like human meat. Theyve searched the island many times for any signs of animals, but they never found any.Pulau Ubin is the site of many supernatural activities from what I gathered, ranging from ghost sightings, to hunts for spiritual burial grounds and gr aves. Singapore is a place with a majuscule deal of concentrated wealth. Along with this is a massive wealth gap, which often leads to many interesting beliefs and ideas. The way the person I interviewed, told the story with such seriousness that I could tell he believed it.
