<div xmlns="http://www.coremedia.com/2003/richtext-1.0" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">"Haunted" schools in SingaporeStudent reporters from Republic Polytechnic - Mellissa, Nicki, Sarah, Harendhren and Jacob - got students to reveal their most spooky experiences at school, or stories they have heard.- Events as related by students. Fact or fiction? You decide.National University of Singapore (NUS)Many have claimed to have seen a white female figure lurking around the campus of NUS. According to various legends, these white figures are associated with the Malay's beliefs of the Pontianak, said to appear at night. It is believed that the Pontianak is the soul of a lady who died during childbirth.Zahid (pictured above, right), 25, claimed that a group of friends saw the Pontianak "crawling" on the ceiling at one of the canteens. This incident has left many students petrified and some never enter the canteens at night.Ismah, a 62 year old cleaner, turned pale with fright when we asked her to share her experience. She was alone on campus when she suddenly felt goosebumps, and she immediately knew that something was wrong. "It was so scary," said Ismah. "It was late at night and I will never forget the vision of how the headless Pontianak flew across right in front of me."Not only did she feel the cold wind brushing against her, she also claimed that she heard an eerie laughter from the Pontianak.Another encounter of a white figure was in the tunnel located at the Science laboratory. While passing through the lab at night, Philbert (pictured above, left), 19, saw a ghostly figure dressed in white. He did not react drastically as he was afraid it might attract attention from the ghost. He immediately walked away. - Events as related by students. Fact or fiction? You decide.</div>

<div xmlns="http://www.coremedia.com/2003/richtext-1.0" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Singapore PolytechnicWhile some brush it off as a rumour, others swear by it. The legendary Red Bridge in Singapore Polytechnic is known to be the attraction for paranormal activities in the school. It has received countless attention over the years, and students today evade that area when it starts to get dark.According to 18-year-old Taufiq Kathi, his seniors had shared eerie stories about the red bridge to students during their year one orientation camp. "Apparently, many years ago, a girl was found dead on the bridge and it was stained with her blood," said Taufiq. After the incident, cleaners tried to remove the blood but it was impossible. Therefore, the management had the bridge painted dark red instead to cover the blood stains."When the Edvantage team went down to check out the red bridge, the entire area was indeed very still. It almost felt like we were in the middle of a forest.- Events as related by students. Fact or fiction? You decide.</div>

<div xmlns="http://www.coremedia.com/2003/richtext-1.0" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Nanyang PolytechnicSince its opening in 1992, Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) has been plagued by a history of paranormal activities. The toilets in the school were said to be haunted by feisty spirits. Apparently, the toilet cubicle doors around the school open and slam shut by themselves in the evening. This incident had occurred on several occasions and was even witnessed by many students. Estelle Tan (pictured above), 18, a student at NYP had witnessed the strange phenomenon some years back.As she was washing her hands, she heard the door of a cubicle slam shut. Moments later, other cubicle doors began to slam shut one after the other. The sound was so loud that it made Estelle shiver with fear.Estelle was near the verge of tears as she fled from the toilet. The slamming of doors was also witnessed by another girl during an overnight camp at the school, who shared the same sentiments as Estelle. - Events as related by students. Fact or fiction?

It was in the 1990s, when two students were heard screaming in the toilet. It was said that the murals in the toilet were alive, and the girls were screaming at the Statue of Liberty that turned its head towards them.They weren't the only the ones who saw the eerie vision. Said C: "An ex-relief teacher who was pregnant at that time heard screaming and came to the toilet. She saw the same thing and collapsed. Then another teacher passed by and called the ambulance."Ex-student Jasmine (pictured above, right) also recalled the same incident about the murals that moved in the toilet."(The story) was passed on that the Statue of Liberty's head had turned to one of the girls in the toilet, then she screamed, then her friend saw it and screamed, too."Legend has it this was the reason the toilet was subsequently split into half, with a wall dividing the mural into two. - Events as related by students.

Since it moved to a temporary location in Serangoon North Ave 1, it is rumoured that there are spooky encounters especially during the night.Students Danial and Matt (pictured above) share their stories.During a CCA camp, the two decided to get out of bed at about 12 am to scout around the school for fun.They were excited and curious to find out about the ghosts in the D&T block where it is rumoured to be somewhat haunted. It was extremely dark and they depended only on the light from their mobile phones. As they walked down the stairs and headed towards the D&T block, Matt froze. His face turned as white as sheet and he immediately gave Danial a panicked look. "I was still very bummed by what happened to Matt and kept asking him why he froze as soon as we got out of the place," said Danial.Matt was shivering in the dark, and explained that he saw a female figure crouching and slowly revealing her face, before starting to pull her hair violently. She then began crying hysterically at the end of the hallway. Many students who were involved in NPCC and NCC camps have also encountered spooky experiences as well.- Events as related to student reporters. Fact or fiction? You decide.</div>

<div xmlns="http://www.coremedia.com/2003/richtext-1.0" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Queensway Secondary SchoolIt was 8pm when group of Secondary 1 students from a team-building camp were brought up to classroom 112, on the fifth floor of the school block. But according to the students, they started to feel as if they were being hit, repeatedly, as they walked in. Screams filled the room and in seconds, it was a total chaos. “Everything happened so fast, one moment everything was fine and the next the students screamed as if they were being tortured. It was truly shocking and traumatising for everyone that was affected” says Ms Saleha (not her real name), a teacher. Student leaders rushed to the scene, turned on the lights and escorted the students out of the room. A security guard who went into the room also reported the feeling of being hit by an unknown force. Bruises soon started to appear on the bodies of the students. Some students cried hysterically while teachers and student leaders tried to calm them down.Since the incident, the classroom is cordoned off when there are any night activities. Months on, Ms Saleha is still traumatized by the incident: "I try my best to stay as far as I can from that classroom. Even during the day, I feel the chills just looking at it from afar."- Events as related to student reporters. Fact or fiction? You decide.</div>

Startled, she quickly ran back to her room and could not sleep the whole night.“Our school is situated at a damp forest area,” said Sharon. “Certain blocks are just very spooky and were very eerie.”No student will stay in the classroom alone, says Sharon who revealed that the most haunted block is the Design and Technology block situated right beside a banana tree, which is commonly known to attract spirits.- Events as related to student reporters.

They prefer to enter the place in pairs or with the whole class."The room is not very big but it is dark and it gives me an eerie feeling. I always have goosebumps when I enter the room, I do not like it," said Denise.- Events as related to student reporters. Fact or fiction? You decide.</div>

<div xmlns="http://www.coremedia.com/2003/richtext-1.0" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Raffles Institution school field - The old womanAccording to an online contributor, the story goes like this: There was a camp organized one night in a block of classrooms near the field. A boy, unable to sleep, went out to the school field to take a slow walk. He jogged to the middle of the field, laid down and looked up into the sky. Just then, he noticed an old lady with very long hair wearing a white gown gliding towards him. He did not suspect anything. She asked him for the time and he replied "3am" (according to legend, one should not answer at all cost).She smiled and glided off. Only then did the boy suspect something amiss. Why would an old lady be doing in the middle of the night in the school field? Did she come from the columbarium opposite the school? He brushed off the feeling and went back to his class. But however hard he tried to walk or run out of the field, he couldn't and the field seemed to stretch on forever. Then, he saw the lady again, but this time, her skin was rotting and she had glowing coal like eyes. He screamed and blacked out.The next morning, he was found lying in the middle of the field, shaken but alive.</div>
