The Diamond Block – Singapore

Nearest city: Jurong

Built in 1973 by JTC, the four interconnected 21-storey blocks at 63–66 Yung Kuang Road form a distinctive diamond/star-shaped housing cluster that became notorious in local lore as the “Suicide Blocks” after a series of reported suicides in the 1970s, which permanently shaped its haunted reputation. Urban legends frequently reference sightings of a mother and teenage daughter apparition linked to later tragedies, along with reports of shadow figures in corridor junctions, crying sounds, and figures seen looking down into the central courtyard void late at night. Over the decades, the largely under-occupied blocks and their unusual enclosed architecture — long echoing corridors, identical stairwells, and a central hollow courtyard — reinforced stories that the site felt “watched” or oppressive, especially on upper floors. Additional rumours circulated that the complex was used at various times as a quarantine site, worker housing, or controlled-use facility, further amplifying its mystique in Singaporean urban folklore and modern exploration videos.
