Experience Singapore’s supernatural heritage on Haunting Tales of Ubin, an immersive night walk that reveals Pulau Ubin’s hidden world after dark. Once the final ferry leaves and silence settles over the island, Ubin shifts into a landscape shaped by shadows, whispered folklore, and long told mysteries.
Guided by heritage researcher Eugene Tay and Yong Liang, an Ubin native with deep local ties, you will explore dim trails and remnants of old kampongs. Along the way, hear striking stories of spectral performers, divine figures said to roam temple grounds, and legends passed down through generations.
More than a ghost tour, Haunting Tales of Ubin offers a rare perspective into the island’s cultural and spiritual identity, a place where tradition, belief, and the unseen have always coexisted.
