Kampong Java Park was adopted by Kandang Kerbau (KK) Women and Children Hospital in 1999 to serve the patients as a “healing garden”. During the day, patients will drop by the park for some fresh air and scenery viewing. At night, it makes a quiet and romantic spot for lovers. However, all is not what it seems to be…

At night, mysterious incidents have occurred to innocent couples and visitors of the park. Whisperings can often be heard, and some even experience an unexplainable slap on their faces. Much to the curiosity of visitors, several wind chimes hang on the fragile tree branches right above the huge lily pond in the compound.

Speculations on how these wind chimes could have been placed there remain uncertain – the branches are too high and inaccessible, and furthermore too fragile to support the weight of a human. While using a ladder might be an option to hang these wind chimes, consider that impossible since you can’t place a ladder on a pond.

And should the park be haunted, by whom then? Rumour has it that the park used to be a mass burial ground during WWII. After the war, this mass grave was converted to a lily pond and whether all the dead bodies were excavated remains unclear. Word also has it that several children have drowned in the pond.
