ARTY calls off Exercise cos of spectral sighting?
-
I agree with wat MunnaBhai_MBBS has said.But then again...how did the person who started this post know about this incident?Perhaps u cud share more details or if not convenient,PM me.THanks.
-
All those stories are bullshit. Last time in army, when I go urinate in the woods, I didn't say "excuse me" to the tree, and still never see any ghost. And that was AFTER my PC told us to say "excuse me" in the woods. I didn't heed his advice, and nothing happened. And they say where where where got ghost, when I do prowling also never see.

heard from friends but not sure exactly when this happened.it could long ago or as recently...But i am sorry that i cud not provide any more info besides this...Just a side note, SAF seems to be concerned with their conduct when reputation when they go for exercises as to not to offend their host..Propaply the supernatural sighting could be of some villager or someone else who was not supposed to be there in the first place...Originally posted by SpecOps87:I agree with wat MunnaBhai_MBBS has said.But then again...how did the person who started this post know about this incident?Perhaps u cud share more details or if not convenient,PM me.THanks. -
Exactly...I mean SAF is a foreign armed forces.And people are kind enough to let you bring in your military hardware to conduct training on their land.Although we do pay them,the least we should do as a guest is to treat our host with respect to their culture and stuff.Not risk an international incident like what happened to the US Marines in S.Korea and japan.Rapng local girls,running their tanks over them etc..

But we might never know what really happened or if the story as depicted was really true..As u know thaliand and other asian countries are well known for such paranormal activites..But Singapore's only infamous place seems to be Tekong..Do u see a pattern here,places where civilisation is none , minimal or had tragic events like wars ,massacres (Tekong,Punggol) seems to be abundant in supposed paranormal activities...And i supernatural happenings in Saf local camps?..Nah u can 80% dismiss them as stress induced illusions of NSF going thru hard times...BUT IT DOESNT MEAN SUCH THINGS CAN BE CONCLUDED AS MERE MYTHS..Its just that no one has neither proven nor disproven the validity of these phenomena..I do feel that local camps are more safer than the vast forests of Thailand or Taiwan where god knows what lurks in the darkness....and previously unknown animal species, people and civilisations are being discovered in the forests of SUmatra and Tibet with different attributes and physical characteriastics from conventional humans..There are things in this world which are not yet been understood..Bigfoot,UFOs , Nessie and a lot lot of stuff out there...Probably they will not be all solved till Science gets a hard proof..Remember the fossilised microbe found in MArs rock in 1997, before that scientists have always doubted Life outside our planet..but now it seems so...but prior to that there were signs and indications like the "tunnels" and "face on Mars" which were the subject of debate and controversy for so many years...Originally posted by SpecOps87:Exactly...I mean SAF is a foreign armed forces.And people are kind enough to let you bring in your military hardware to conduct training on their land.Although we do pay them,the least we should do as a guest is to treat our host with respect to their culture and stuff.Not risk an international incident like what happened to the US Marines in S.Korea and japan.Rapng local girls,running their tanks over them etc.. -

[b]Army officer testifies at SPI website[b/]
http://www.spi.com.sg/stories/colin_recruit/main.htm
[b]Being a army officer stationed in Pulau Tekong, I (Platoon commander Colin, formerly of Delta Company Camp 1) have to take special induction training courses in order to perform my duties as a platoon commander.
In one special session, which I unfortunately missed, but my fellow officers told me, it involved a Mindef Directives on not conducting training on Thursday nights. The reasons cited included an increased risk in accidents, injuries and incidents occurring in Thursday Trainings in the evening. The session included an actual case study of a mysterious death of an army recruit. The incident supposedly occurred in the 1970s.
Basically it involved the incident of a recruit who went missing halfway through a route march. First the platoon, then the company, then the camp, and eventually the entire island was mobilized to look for him. They found him the next day, with his body disemboweled, along the route of the route march.
I am aware there is a 3 door bunk in Charlie Company. I am not aware there is a connection with this story I just mentioned. I believe that the 3 door could have been built for a reason, whether paranormal or not.

Hearing of these stories over the years - its just fictional to me. I have never encountered any supernatural beings, or whatever, regardless of whatever day or eating whatever food or etc, etc, after so many years of training, including overseas training. And some of the training included sleeping (battalion holding area) in graveyards in Singapore and Taiwan. Its up to individuals what you choose to believe in.

u ridicule wat u do not understand...until u actually seen one...u probably think it is BS....
trust me...once one is staring right in front of u.....u'd be pissing in ure pants....
i seen 1 b4...hope i wont see anymore... -
Only believers can "see"...Probably this people have some extra sensory abilities in their genes....everyone is born slightly different.And it might not be just illusion.cos there is one very strong undisputable proof which exists...ANimals...When animals are brought to reputed haunted places, they start to behave stangely..Animals dont lie..But they do have heigtened senses many times more than humans..This goes a long way to show that definetely there's something wierd going on around us..just that we dont understand it..Originally posted by bcoy:Hearing of these stories over the years - its just fictional to me.

This kind of things dun playplay,really have one.Back in 1994 when I was still in Ns, we engineers went to Pulau Tekong Kecil to clear path to built something.That island was full of graves and on the first day when we reach there, all the equipments broke down. Land rovers cannot start lah, excavators also cannot start. Only after the officers pray and give offerings then the machines can start.
If you talk about pontianak, I have encounterd before but never see the face.Her scream is enough to haunt me for a long time.If anyone have relatives or friends who was once in the police force guarding the towers of changi prison back in the late 70s, they surely got pontianak tales to tell you.

But have you considered the possibility that the animal is reacting to the owner? IE The Human is afraid of the place and is giving off signs of heightened stress and fear. The Animal senses this and whines.
Until i see a scientific test conducted by reputable scientists/organizations (and that means imo that the results must be replicated consistently), i am inclined towards disbelief.
PS: No ghostly experience as yet. Only thing close to it was when i thought i heard footsteps following me in the jungle and those footsteps stopped when i did. I actually investigated the source of the noise and found nothing. Imo, prob a dog/wild boar.
EDIT: To DusterBuster-> P.Tekong Kechil is the small island off tekong right? Never been there before -
Yes Iwflee, tekong kecil is the small island beside tekong
Now use for training liao. I guess

while out on guard duty, i was always shouting for any ghosts around to appear. another fren, on his round, sat on the jacob's ladder waiting for them to appear.
ghosts, gods, etc. they're all just crap. -
On a side note, my friend who was serving in Training development did relate a training accident to me before. About 6- 7 years back, an Arty unit was training in Thailand and successfully massacred 100's of cows.
The scary part was that if the sights were slightly more misaligned, the village would have been caught in the path. It was only a hundred metres or so away.
Needless to say, SAF paid out more than a million in compensation (the villagers must have been very happy). That unit, which was due to receive Best Unit never got the award although the fault was due to some issues with the sights on the gun shifting after firing. -
Are you guys really desperate to see one??

aiyo ... "that" is a sniper up in the tree lar... haiz... spying on our guys performance mah...

So have u heard of a story which happened in the early 80s?.Supposedly it happened in a HDB neighbourhood when a woman who died during childbirth at Tan Tock Seng Hospital came back as a pontianak and knocked on the door of her house a few days later in the wee hours of the night?...The terrified family knew it was her as they peeped thru the doorhole and refused to let her in....One of the uncles in the family shouted at her to go away and not to return ....Later "she" just went away and in the next few days they called in a Bomoh to exorcize the house..It was reported that some neighbours saw "her" on the night she came back...This story was told to me when i was young by my Grandma and was supposedly true..Originally posted by dusterbuster:This kind of things dun playplay,really have one.Back in 1994 when I was still in Ns, we engineers went to Pulau Tekong Kecil to clear path to built something.That island was full of graves and on the first day when we reach there, all the equipments broke down.

from what i know, the cow story is due not to any arty, but a stray CIS40 round. the farmer was very very well compensated.Originally posted by Dreamslacker:On a side note, my friend who was serving in Training development did relate a training accident to me before.
