another usual nitespot....crowded, loud and.... yeah, pretty
happening.
The place is short of nothing but traditional chinese decors with
walls painted red everywhere. It was until when he go to the
backyard that he saw a very old and eerie staircase that leads up
to darkness.
He couldn't care then, but the following day, he received the below
attached mail. Real coincidence......and if u want to find out how
the Mdm Wong used to look like, just walk over to the other end of
the row of houses (towards Wong San) and u'll know what I
meant.......
[b]The following story is complied with
no exaggeration from the words of mouth of my friend's parents
staying around River Valley Road. Extent of truth yet to be
confirmed:
Along the now Mohd Sultan Rd lived a rich Chinese family during The
pre-war period. During the Japanese Occupation, the stretch of
houses along the road was seized by the Japanese soldiers and was
used as their bunks, since the Japanese had set up a check-point at
the junction of the roads. Their house, in particular, being the
last house along that road then, was used as a mortuary to the
victims of massacre happened at the River Valley Road area.
After WWII, a rice merchant bought over the house and his mistress
shifted in, since it was near to his office around Singapore River
and their rendezvous would be made convenient. Two days later, the
mistress was found dead with eyes wide-opened and white foams
around her mouth. No signs of human inflicted or self-inflicted
injuries were found and no trace of forced entry into the house.
Police suggested no foul play. Her death was recorded as a result
of acute heart attack although doctors were not able to determine
the cause of death. This also marked the downfall of the rice
merchant.
His partner in business bought over this house and his whole family
shifted in. A month later, the partner and his family decided to
shift out of the house and wished they had nothing to do with it
any longer. It was said that eerie noises were heard around the
house every single night after mid-night throughout their entire
one-month stay. Of which included weeping of women, noises produced
by sudden shifting of furniture, cries of human, male or female, as
if their tongues were being forcefully pulled up etc. What was more
intolerable was that stench that smelled like dead rats, which
filled the entire house before every daybreak.
He sold the house to his friend,who were also in the rice business,
at a very cheap price but by goodwill also made known to his friend
that the house was haunted. The friend bought the house, noted that
it was haunted, decided to use it as a rice warehouse.
Coincidentally, for the first 2 consecutive years thereafter on the
Lunar Seventh Month, deaths occurred.
One coolie died of instant death as two 50kg rice sacks fell upon
him. Another dead as a fellow coolie had the rice-sack hook
punctured through across his body from his back by accident. Rumors
described the coolie's deed as being possessed. Moreover, many
sighted headless souls floating about the ceilings. After these
accounts, the towkay decided that no works be done around the
warehouse for the entire Seventh Month thereon.
When rice business stopped around Singapore River in the 80's, the
warehouse changed hands several times. And for almost a decade, it
had not been occupied until Mdm Wong took over. The warehouse was
deliberately converted to a pub because the owner thought that with
crowds of human occupying the place every night will hopefully ward
away evil spirits for good. Besides, any eerie noises will be well
covered by the loud music and human voices.
Anyone ever felt that Mdm Wong's has something not in the right
place, or something of eerie nature/ feelings? The ceilings? The
toilets? The backyard? Anyone who carries a mobile phone would have
noticed that reception is impossible at Mdm Wong's. Ever wonder
why? Leave this to your imagination.
When you wish to make a call there. Please, do not walk out to the
backyard of Mdm Wong's (near and accessible via the male toilet)
and climb up the twisted stairs to improve your reception. Because
you may not like what you will see, especially during the Lunar
Seventh Month.... [/b]
Now that u mention.. i think its time for me to go check out that
place thoroughly this time.. never really felt anything there but
