In this episode of Haunting History, Eugene ventures into the mangrove-lined banks of Sungei Api Api in Pasir Ris, a river whose tranquil daytime charm gives way to a darker reputation after nightfall. Named after the Api Api mangrove trees, the river was once the lifeblood of kampongs, burial grounds, and coastal livelihoods. But as the forest gave way to housing estates in the late 20th century, its shadowy legends only grew stronger. Joined by guest Rico, Eugene unravels tales of pontianaks drifting through the mangroves, fragrant floral scents with no source, and figures standing motionless in the water. Rumors swirl of murders, suicides, and black magic rituals, and even police patrols in the 90s reported strange disturbances. Whether shaped by its haunted history or the fears of those who walk its banks after dusk, Sungei Api Api remains one of Singapore’s most enduring sites of supernatural lore, a place where the still water might just be watching you back.
