Gates at Jalan Selimang – Singapore
Nearest city: Sembawang
These weathered stone pillars are all that remain of a colonial-era estate, now serving as a gateway to a “dead zone” where the “Lady in the Kebaya” is frequently sighted. Legend states she was a resident who died during the Japanese Occupation, and her spirit is now tied to the ancient Banyan tree flanking the gates. Local taxi and private-hire drivers report a “vanishing passenger” who requests a drop-off at the gates at 3:00 AM, only to disappear from the backseat as the car slows down. Modern explorers document Ta persistent “static” on audio equipment and the sound of a woman’s muffled sobbing echoing from the thick undergrowth behind the pillars. Recent 2025 vlogs highlight “orbs” and light streaks captured on night-vision cameras that seem to follow visitors back to the main road.
