Hi All, I have recently read up in SPI - Singapore Paranormal Investigators.
Check out this website

Devils Bend @ Old Thomson Road

I used to drive there irregardless of day or nite and it seems normal to me but according to the report, it states that ppl have been riding there and eventually crash there. Some say that there are ppl who have died there and have continued to continued during the 60's until it was closed during the late 70's.

Have anyone ever tried driving fast there ?? wats the max speed that u have hit there (State Bike / Car)??

Any idea how many bends are there ?

Is it really that spooky around there ??

I went there before using a 1.3l car. i tried clearing most of the corners at 70 – 80km/hr. I went there abt 5 times… Maybe someone could give some comparsions to the 99 bends near pasir panjang? i’ve neber been there before…

used to be a car racing place, so many died there from the racing.. last time used to be a hotspot for lovers, but authorities have since set up railings along the side of the road, so can't park there anymore. heard pple say that the place gives you the spooks even when you are going about your business. .haa. i've driven there at night before, but never alone..

I used to cycle there at various hours of the day when i was doing my NS in Nee Soon Camp. Very secluded stretch with a slip road that leads to the reservoir service facilities. At nights, since the road is no longer used often, the streetlights are turned off and it's totally pitch black with tress on both sides, very spooky indeed initially but when you get used to it, it's kinda relaxing. Used to have a lot of cars parked along the sides cuz couples inside busy but dunno these days.

Never saw any spooky flying orbs there before tho but there was once at abt 3am++ when i was cycling thru, something weird happened. I was pushing abt 20kmh on my bike and i could see ahead of me a bike reflector bouncing of my lights. The kind that ah pek use on their old chine bikes but try as i might, i was unable to overtake him. It was a quiet night too so i knew it wasn't a motorcycle. After rounding one of the bends the light disappeared, i still think of it as a ah pek who stopped and parked his bike to go durian hunting .... after all there are lots of durian tress there ....

safety is more important when driving, not looking for thrills.

its real name is 9 bends 13 corners.
very nice to drive there, but must be careful or skilled.

Apparently there have been reports that say that when they go there take pics in the nite time, they see patches on the floor which seems to be the reason that caused all this accidents. And due to the low usage of all these roads, the govt have not been cleaning and maintaining this road for a super long time ... most prob be since the last time they so called closed the place.

But when u drive there ... are all the light switched off ?? really interested in making a trip down there ... maybe ... ask all my friends to drive there together... so that we can check the route out ... but at nite the place really freaky.. .even if u dun go in .. also really freaks ppl out... i read this report where they say the patches are there for a reason .. cos ppl who crashed and never made it are actually creating such stuff to find a " replacement " woah .... freaky ...

shanhz SG

no lah, the patches are not 'normal dirt', so govt clean also no use.. but if you go in and drive at 20km/hr, i dun see how anything could possibly happen to you.. and from what i remember, they still have lights, those whitish kind, not our normal yellow road lights

aHGer^83 SG

wheather this kind of “eerie” paces freaks u out or not, is usually xin li zuo yong, xin li you gui…other den dat..ntng much de…

If i can at 99 wan bout 80km/h through out, den te devil's bend can?? or te corner at te devil there very fierce?must 50km/h den ok?
Thanks.

tailslide SG

wah, 80km/hr throughout??!!! sure anot........ anyone else crazy enough to look at your speedo whilst taking corners at 99 wan pls provide feedback whether this is possible.

i know there's one or 2 corners you cannot take unless drop to 1st gear otherwise not enough torque to power out of the turn. so i suppose average speed is around 50 - 60 km/hr Question

bo liao SG

err.....rest is at least 70-80 km/h...tink only 2 left corner drop to round 60...cos scare oncoming car..haha.i go in from sience park tat side. go in 1 time, al woofers,things shifted places...

Dunno why lea,go in from pasir panjang tat side i cannot faster den 60km/h,only from sience park there den can.
so..can advice how is te devils bend corners?

P.S:Using friend's car then got round 80km/h,my own ride max i go 70km/h i scare liao, if on raining days, when corner,lik can hear the tyre digging ground ,but still losing grip.lousy tyres.
