(Allegedly) Haunted places in Temasek Polytechnic

Regardless of whether you believe in the supernatural or not, every institution has it own set of urban legends and supposedly-haunted corners - and TP is no exception.

Most students would agree that the School of Design is the 'dirtiest', with its dark, gloomy corridors and cramped work quarters. Here's what a pair of students from the Diploma in Moving Images have to say.

The mentioned 'dark curtain wall' on level six looks like this. It certainly does feel a little uneasy passing through this corridor.



Everyone knows the School of Design's 'horrors', but what about the rest of the school?

Tucked away in an unsuspecting corner on the fourth level of the School of Business is this locked and sealed room - BS26-4-18.

Apparently, it used to be a classroom which was perpetually locked, the glass window on its door blocked out with a piece of paper. The only way to find out what's inside? Peek through the couple of tiny holes on the paper if you're daring enough.

"It is obvious because the words on the door look different from the other classrooms," explains Zarinar Lim, 19, a senior from the diploma in Leisure and Resort Management, "they probably edited it recently to avoid suspicion."

And true enough, the font looks distinctly different and the words appear to be carved not long ago.

What other spooky stories does Zarinar have to tell? Watch:

Could this innocent-looking amphitheatre really be haunted by a 'candy-wrapper' spirit? We'll never know.
