Adventures of the Ghost Hunters - Hillview

Last night at 2200hr, a bunch of us (KY, KS, Samuel, Amos, Ryan n Amos frien Sharon) decided to be a little adventurous. We decided to visit an empty mansion on top of Hillview.

We arrived at 2300hr. There was a very very steep slope up to a hill where the mansion was supposed to be. We parked at the foot of the hill. The slope was about 50m long and it was the steepest slope i've ever seen in Singapore. At the gate, lookin into it, all u can see was darkness. The mansion was apparently so deep in that u can't see it from where we were.

I regretted agreein to go there. It looked so movie like. Those movie where a bunch of curious people checks out a haunted mansion. Curiosity kills the cat.

There was a little openin at the side of the house and we went into the drive way thru that openin. Even then, from there in the darkess, we could not see what was at the end of the driveway.

We took a slow walk up the drive way. What felt like 100 m up that still steep drive way, we went round a 180degree bend in the drive way, that continues up the hill. The bend overlooks the night view of hillview. There was confort in the tense atmosphere we found ourselves in.

It was uphill another 100m before we found the mansion. Luckily for me, there was not much walls around. Apparantly the walls were removed. There was a drive in where the shelter has collapsed. Many of the foils that lined the roof had fallen and were hangin like dead bodies.

Anyone wants to go down? I asked. Well.. Perhaps only Sharon was the only one who was so tempted to turn around with me. We were to go into the house and up the famous spiral stairs.

There was a spiral stairs after a 20m walk in thing. On the right was wat seemed to be a livin room where it overlooks hillview. There were many other empty rooms that seem insignificant. We went up to the 2nd level. The large spiral stairs led us to the 2nd level, where there was a even more clastrophobic metal spiral stairway that leads on to who knows where. Some previous hunters wrote words like "Stairway to hell". I saw it but i didn't want to think much about it. There were about 3 rooms. One of the rooms had a balcony. It overlooked hillview again. I tell, Hillview was a good view.

And so we wend up the tiny stairs. It didn't look safe and structually stable. So we went up in 2s. The vibrations on the stairs produced spooky sounds. At the top, there was nothing but another balcony with the same view. Out there there was an outdoor stairs, spiral again to a tiny look out point, about 2x2m. Up there, the view was nothing we wound have expected. With bukit timah hill lights behind us, we looked down at the night sky.

Up there, we opened our drinks and started listenin to the story of the house.

A rich man built the house. Her wife was pragnent. One day, the wife fell down one of the stairs (not surprisin) and had a miscarriage. From that day on, many wierd events occured and the couple moved out. The only reason the house is not sold yet is cos the owner still owns the house. It is said the baby girl that died in the miscarriage still haunts the house. Most people has seen it before.

Well. We still have to get out of the house. But we did it uneventfully. Thankfully.

Back at the entrance, we noticed a basement thingy. It looked like a bomb shelter, a bunker where british soldiers fired at enemies. It looked so totally freaky. There were stairs that seem to lead to something deep down beneath the buildin. Stupid KY led us into it.

It was a big open space in the bunker. There was a toilet at the bottom of the bunker, and the bunker actually looked like a theatre. The original owner must be some rich bastard with alot of taste for romance and balconies.

We went up the stairs to get out of the place. That was when 3 people xperienced something.

Outside, the 3 made their confessions. Ryan felt chills and his hair was standin on ends at the point where we went up on the stairs.

KY saw a white figure at the point where we went up on the stairs.

Samuel saw a shadow at the point where we went up on the stairs.
