Here’s an interesting question which I’ve picked up from Singapore Ghost Hunters Club.

As stated by Shariff:

One thing that has been bugging me is ‘WHY DOES CERTAIN GROUPS OF PARANORMAL GROUPS/TEAMS LIKE TO FAKE? Or should I say, say something is there while there is obviously nothing there? Like you can make out a face in the tress, among the leaves, you got hold of your camera and start to zoom in and…BAM! ‘Possible sighting caught on tape, case file blah blah blah…it’s so stupid and so low. You’re tarnishing the very name of the ‘TRUE’ paranormal groups out there…

Think about this anyone…someone…

First of all, people needs to understand what paranormal means. If someones thick mindset still saying paranormal are ghost, then that is one sad fella.

Why groups fake it was because they wants more hits and visitors on the site.

More hits, more publicity, faster famous and viola… someone called you up and wants to sponsor your work!

As most of us are aware, there are many more groups popping up everywhere, claiming they are paranormal hunters and researcher. Most do it since it was claimed to be a hobby, most claimed its their passion, and out of the five… one will chase for media attention.

Now when you go onward to media, you need something to prove to the public. Maybe a ghost picture perhaps. But how can these people proved it a ghost? Does a whitish flying substance flew by front of the camera a ghost? or is it a bird?

Bird all sleep at night right? WRONG!
Ever heard of nocturnal birds. I’ll focus about birds on my next entry.

Anyway, when those publicized peoples have public attention, they need something convincing to prove that they actually caught an entity. But what happened if they does not? Would not they be a laughing stock? First the media, now the public.

So to keep their name from being spit on, they began to lie. Starts faking things.

And there you have it.

On a side note to Shariff of SGHC, let them tarnish whatever they want.
At the end of the day, these group will be a laughing stock, not yours.

As long as you don’t start lying… you will never go wrong.
A true paranormalist always nothing but the truth and not something you cannot explained it yourself and lied afterward.

Team TKCK located at TeamTKCK.Blogspot.com, a group of paranormal enthusiastic people whom found their way to SGFreakyLinks. There was a time when I’ve offered them, if they are committed enough to be under the wing of SGFreakyLinks with an organization structural name for the group. Unfortunately, it was turned down. Oh well… the idea was sudden anyway, can’t help it.

I explained to H|D|R about this ‘idea’ I have and why I am confident that it will work well if they work hard for it.

I told him, long ago, SGFreakyLinks are just like TeamTKCK, but we are more hardworking with releasing newer updates so that the visitors will keep on visiting.

As what I’ve said to H|D|R:

Long ago, we called ourselves various titles such as Thrill Seekers, DareDevils, Ghost Hunters, Paranormal Archeologist… bla bla bla. Back then, SGFreakyLinks are just like yours… everything is about the topic ghost. As long as there are rumored of places being haunted, you’ll bound to have us there to write a report.

Though being a group claimed as Ghost Hunters, there are penalties which I’ve realized in 2003. I’ve started to ask myself, we are ghost hunters… but where are the ghost photos? Even if I eventually caught something weird in the photos, how can I prove to the readers that what I’ve got was an evidence of a ghost fragments?

Basically, there’s no way for such cause each readers whom visited SGFreakyLinks will always have their skeptics and such. SGFreakyLinks was going purely well for at least 3 years, as being the Underground Group that covers paranormal topic. If we did not step into another level, SGFreakyLinks will be like SFOGS and SPI… famous but a store full of junks.

Slowly reading all the entries I’ve wrote, I came to realize that at one point, I’m doing reports on paranormal activities, but in an overall view, what SGFreakyLinks is doing was Urban Exploration.

Now, there but a dozen more proclaimed Paranormalist popping up from everywhere. Is your group a paranormal group or an urban exploration group?

Last conversation H|D|R said to me was – “you’re right about the ghost hunting and urban exploring thingy. I’ll be back to Singapore in July. That’s when TeamTKCK will be regrouping and revising our motivations.”

I told him, “If you need help, as long as you don’t stab our backs like those XTrackers, I’ll promise you, if SGFreakyLinks rises… I will drag your group rise up together with us.”

Alright guys… to tell you the truth, I never like to talk about the past merger group between SGFreakyLinks and Singapore Urban Explorers. I like to keep the yesterdays in me and not talking about it during the present day. It’s kind of like spoiling the day mood if you know what I mean.

But somewhat, Ah9 from Singapore Urban Explorer thinks he own that group blast a page full of stories which is directly defaming me. So, in this entry, I will share my side of the story and will let all visitors judge.

Just so you know, as I told a friend (Redstone) via MSN now while writing, I am the type of person who will speak out if I am being defame. Not a type who keeps quiet and lets karma plays. Karma moves too slow… I write faster to get the message across.

Andy say, he say he have no issue with UE as what past is past. don wish to hav any conflict wif other groups too.. he also say delete this post..

Nobody has the right to instruct us on what to do, and no rights to say the following:

“he have no issue with UE”
“the past is past”
“delete the post”
or even
“about xxx making problem, andy advise to not get involved and concentrate on ue”

How we would handle this, would be based on our past experience with any particular person/s. Please do not judge this as arrogance, as we did learn the hard way, that we have to be cautious of any future dealings.

Some facts to support our resilient stance against notorious troublemakers :

- someone* left UE on his own accord, and based on minor disagreements, and his blatant name calling antics.
(it would be embarrasing on his part and not gracious of us if we were to put it in words on the forum)

- someone* trying to divide UE for his own personal pursuit, giving ultimatums to fellow members to join a sub-division he created or risk expel from UE. We are a group of friends, we do not expel members for minor disagreements.

- someone* trying to spread discord among paranormal groups, while claiming self-righteouness, attempting to edit wikipedia entries of a certain paranormal group to incite hate and disagreement, from a complaint i have come to known. (yes, IP address and identification stuff are recorded for those who try to vandalize wiki entries)

And now my side of the story -

As was written:
Take a closer look at this stunning photograph of a greylag goose.

Your eyes do not deceive you – this puzzling bird really is flying upside down but with its neck and head twisted the right way up.

The incredible display of mid-flight acrobatics is also a remarkable feat of wildlife photography and stunned the man behind the lens when he looked back at his images.

Brian MacFarlane was simply photographing geese buffeted by strong winds at Strumpshaw yesterday, and did not expect to capture a moment of contortionism.

“The wind was making life difficult for the flying birds,” said Mr MacFarlane.

“Some were expert at controlling their flight, while others were being tossed around in mid-air.

“On closer inspection of the image I realised it had flipped upside down but kept its head the right way up. “Quite a feat!”

Paul Stancliffe, of the British Trust for Ornithology, based at Thetford, was able to lift the lid on the bird’s bizarre behaviour.

“It looks like this bird is in mid-whiffle,” he said. “When geese come in to land from a great height they partake in a bout of whiffling, this involves the bird twisting and turning to spill air from their wings and thus lowering their speed prior to landing. In 36 years of birdwatching I have seen this many times, particularly when watching pink-footed geese on the north Norfolk coast coming in to roost in the late afternoon and evening. I have, however, never seen a photograph of a bird in mid-whiffle like this. It is an amazing photograph.”

EDP picture editor Nolan Lincoln said: “Brian’s patience and determination in the observation hide has paid off with this unbelievable shot showing the greylag’s versatility to overcome the strong crosswinds.

“It’s a one-off chance to capture this somewhat quirky, split-second happening and resulted in this fantastic image.”

Simple… a failure to understood the meaning of it or not bother enough to google it for definitions.

According to the Journal of Parapsychology, the term paranormal describes as “any phenomenon that in one or more respects exceeds the limits of what is deemed physically possible according to current scientific assumptions.”

In a laymen term – a mysterious phenomena that are yet to be explained.

The actual word, Paranormal, was derived from the Latin use of the prefix para meaning “outside or beyond” what is considered normal… and again in laymen – anything that is out of the ordinary.

Overall people in Singapore, and probably all over the earth, as long as they see the word Paranormal, the first thought that come to their mind was Ghost.

Here’s one example:

Recently, SGFreakyLinks was invited by Charles Goh of API to a special Gala Flashback event hosted in Mt. Faber Safra. While waiting, a woman behind me asked Charles (showing a photo which apparently to be an orb) and asked “Is this paranormal?”… and guess what… Charles replied “No” and walked away.

I was thinking of explaining to her at first but I don’t think it’s worth it. Besides, SGFreakyLinks was not actually the star of the event. We’re just as like others… a spectators.

Why did Charles politely say ‘No’ and walked away? Who would not? I would do the same thing.

A glare that shaped like an orb, are related to many thing. Such are micro dust fragments floating in the air around us. Now the question is, are dust fragments anything out of the ordinary?

Oh and please, if you saying now dust fragment are a mysterious phenomenon that are yet to be explain, do contact me and we’ll arranged for a meet up so I can knock some senses into that empty head of yours!

SPI maybe hot, but the leader himself, with due respect, are not capable of holding a title “leader”.

He wanted SPI to be known in Singapore, and he got it. More people come, more well-known they will be. But now, he has no control of his forumer. These hooligans thinks that SPI is untouchable, they can go around mocking other groups like cockroaches and thinking their oh-so-great Kenny would come an rescue them if they get into trouble.

One example was a  SPI forumer, named Abduct Girl.

She posted on our voice-box – “SPI RULES… TRY GETTING SME LEASON FRM THEM”.

The moment I saw that message… I said to myself… “What is blazing hell is SME?!”.
Supernatural Morons Education? Suck My Eeeeeuh?! What?!!

The way I see it is like we are being mocked at and I get really defensive easily.

We did not start the fire. The remarks she get back is ultimately unpleasant, and they are not coming from me alone. They are from the *soldiers of SGFreakyLinks.

_{* a combination of SGFreakyLinks crew, supporters, members and the community of Explorers Underground.}

As a result, people will say that SGFreakyLinks anti-SPI. How can we not be anti at them in the first place.

I think you guys should have a brief idea on why they keep bugging us.

Finally, if this Abduct Girl happened to read this blog entry, then let me say this nice and clearly – For your childish mindset, we don’t care if SPI rules. SPI may have contacts all over the world… SPI may have strong alliance… but the sickness that SPI will forever have are people like you that SPOILS they name by coming to other groups and making a ruckus.

I’ve just got back home. Was chilling out with some friend for a while. One of them, let just call him Hal, in order to protect his identity. When Hal was about to leave the scene and head home, I overheard about he saying something to do with a branch and leaf shaking, then he sleep exactly outside of his mother’s room with the door open.

In an instance, I asked what happened.

He replied “We got disturbed by something at West Coast Park…”

That’s when Hanzic join the conversation and explained what happened.

As was told…

We were sitting at this jetty within West Coast Park. I was referring to the jetty near to the docks. All of us just though hanging out there after having supper.

Then just for the sake of it, I played a Quran verse called Sorat Yassin on my mobile. While playing the holy verse, I noticed a branch from this tree a distance away, shakes by itself. It was like waving up and down. And the scariest part was – that’s the only branch in the tree that moved!

I quietly whispered to Pepot cause I don’t want to frighten the others. I pointed to this tree branch but the others somehow noticed my reaction. They saw the single branch moved.

Pepot told me to turn off the holy verse. I did and the effect coming from the branch was a little frighting. It instantly stopped.

Everyone was stunned.

Pepot told me to play it again as he wants to capture it on the mobile.

So I played it… but nothing happen. Except this time, another branch from another tree to the left began to shake.

Immediately we all did not wait, but walked away from that area.

And so that was what I’ve been storied.

Hybrid theory session…

What’s the cause of the wavy branch?
A possible reason would be, that the wavy branch is cause by a bat. Probably it hangs there on one of the branch and it causes the branch to have a wavy effect.

And the instant effect was most probably coincidence.

Why did Hanzic mentioned it was a bat?
Not every human have a good eyesight for the night. So if Hanzic never mention about a bat then It’s either Hanzic never saw it flew away due to the darkness… or maybe there was no bat at all.

If there’s no bat, what was it?
A bug perhaps…

Let say there’s no bugs or bats, how do you explain that?
Earlier explanation was by common sense, but if you say that this is an act of supernatural, then I explained based on belief.

As was said, they were at West Coast Park. The park itself has lot of rumored stories. It was like the home for Pontianak, Pocong, Mawas and Djinn.

They walked into the entities territory. The entities allows it at the same time, looked at them from a far distance but have no intention of disturbing them. But as soon as Hanzic played the Surah Yassin verse, it automatically creates a uneasy disturbance towards the entities.

Hanzic has stirred them up.

It’s either the entities show themselves, which will make Hanzic and friends make a run for it… or create a signal to tell them “I am here, I am ghooost, this place is haunted”.

Apparently the signal work.

Should I conclude this as an experiment for SGFreakyLinks?

No. I will not.

Although it was said, among the Malay community, that Djinns and Satan status were as low as the sole of a human foot, that does not bring to any of my attention that I should come over to their home, recites prayers and causing them to suffer. It was in another words, an act of disrespect.

For those out there whom heard the group called Seeker, XTrackers and T.A.C ( Wujud )… they are the few known groups whom recites holy verse to summon (Seru in Malay) the entities.

I’m quite sure they knows about the phase “as low as the sole of a human foot”… and show their disrespectful manners to the entities. But what if this phrase never existed and it was just one of the made belief created by the Malay community. Ever think of what will happened to you in the afterlife.

I rest my case.

As was written:
Almost everyone has attended an amusement park, county fair, or sporting event and had their face painted (don’t forget Halloween). The designs are usually crude and simple, done by a friend, relative, or greasy haired teen who understands there are 10 others waiting their turn in line. In the examples below, all discovered on Flickr, the artists have done an exceptional job of taking face painting to the extreme. A precise hand and creative mind have brought these images to life; in some cases it’s even a skewed expression. I found many of them to be downright creepy.

You know you want it. You know you want a Velociraptor hunting trophy to hang on your wall. You know you’d be the coolest person in the entire world. Fuck, you could probably rely only on your IKEA futon and the rest of your studio apartment for the rest of your life if you had this… you wouldn’t need any other furniture. At all. That is how great this is.

Yup, no joke about it.

Its raw, its candid and its storyline is originally based on most of our released articles.

Back in the year 2006, we’ve did the filming but was canceled due to lack of commitment… but truthfully, the tapes by stolen from us. But no worries…

For the remaining pieces, I successfully made the demo clip of it.

Now in 2007, the project was revived. With the help of our friends from Trackers and Relic Hunters, this is going to be one heck of a climax in SGFX history as well as for their.When will Episode one be released?
That’s a secret.

Buried in the dense jungle of the Macritchie Catchment Area are the ruins of Syonan Jinja, a Japanese Shinto shrine dating back to World War II. Built to commemorate Japanese soldiers who died fighting in the invasion of Singapore. Syonan Jinja was the location of many Japanese religious and cultural ceremonies. The original structure, built during the Japanese Occupation (1942-5), was a temple with no walls. Raised from the ground by a stone platform graduated with a few steps, the sloping temple roof rested on pillars that stood at regular intervals round the perimeter of the platform. It is believed that during rituals, worshipers would drink from a huge granite ceremonial fountain located outside the shrine.

A Shinto ceremony took place here every New Year’s Day for the few years that the shrine existed. This was marked by the sounding of the temple bell, the arrival of devotees and the presence of a Shinto priest presiding over rituals. After the proceedings were completed here, the worshipers moved on for a second ceremony at Syonan Chureito, a war memorial for the Japanese soldiers, located at Bukit Batok.

Syonan Jinja was destroyed when the Japanese Occupation ended in 1945 Crumbling granite steps that once led to the shrine are visible, as well as the stone fountain. Of the temple building itself, there is a low stone wall that runs one length of the building and several square pits in the ground that probably once supported pillars.

Today, remnants of the shrine are covered by jungle vegetation. As it is no longer accessible, Syonan Jinja is best seen through old photographs and drawings by the Japanese military as well as the POWs who helped build the shrine.

The above text was from the storyboard at Sime Road & Lornie Road junction.

One of our SGFreakylinks guy chat with this lady from the states yesterday on Jul 14, 2007.

It’s about paranormal hunter groups that use equipments to find ghost. In one of their long conversation, there is a strong remark about it that may give everyone an eye opener.

I would also like to say that I don’t appreciate the de-bunking of so called ghost hunter groups that say psychics alone aren’t real and should not be used to search out ghosts.

I do not agree with them in the least. If there are no ghosts in the area, no “equipment” is going to seek them out… I would also like to state that just because you can buy ghost hunting equipment doesn’t mean you know how to use it, or know how to hunt ghosts period. Any MORONS can buy ghost hunting equipment and call themselves ghost hunters. Give me a break will ya!!!

I look at it this way.. if you aren’t born with the ability to “sense” ghosts, then you most likely can’t get them no matter how much you spend on “equipment”. Anyone can get an EVP… you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to do that. But knowing where the ghosts are, is key and no equipment will “DRAW THEM OUT” like a sensitive could. I’m sick of the criticism some will dish out in the hopes of making themselves look better.

My pictures are proof positive that someone can seek out and find ghosts without the use of equipment. I will get and do get, something on EVP and Camera (almost) each time I go out where others with loads of equipment go and come up with little or nothing. In other words, while others are fumbling with their “equipment” I’ll have already had several pictures and EVP’s of any ghosts in the area. And just because one may have equipment, doesn’t mean that there are ghosts in the area at all.

Just because there is a cold spot doesn’t mean there is ghost activity.. that’s more absurd then anything really. The point I would like to make is that we are all trying to prove life after death, so lets not “de-bunk” other ghost hunters for the way that they chose to hunt.

We all have the same goal in mind, just different ways of getting there.. That’s all I have to say. I’ll step down from my soap box now. Oh.. one more thing, I am not a psychic. Happy Halloween All!!!

On a serious note, in SGFreakyLinks, we did not use any gadgets. Frankly was because we are not ghost hunters or paranormal investigators, to begin with. We are urban explorers with knowledge of the paranormals.

070707, a LIVE Earth campaign.
To me this was nothing but nonsense.
Earth is dying. We are in the 11th hour of existence.

Today, everyone is celebrating LIVE Earth by wearing green. Me, I don’t even give a though. I wear what I’m like to wear and that is that. Wearing green for what… global warming campaign to save the earth you say? And when the night falls, EVERYONE IN GREEN get drunk, vomits and polluted the drains with piss cause they can’t find the toilet!

Still ain’t convinced enough?

Well… head over to the DVD rental store and rent the movie SWORDFISH.

There’s a scene when John Travolta said something like -
“You think you donate a 20 dollar bill to save the earth and you actually changing the world?”

No matter what you do… wear green or put donation to save the earth…. it’s better put this words into your head instead.

The earth is at it’s 11th hour. Face the fact, the earth is sick. If the earth dies, we dies. Now is a little too late to heal the earth… all we can do is bare the climax crisis which we have done. Wearing green does not mean you’re ecologically friendly.

You don’t need to wait for another green campaign to show that you care for the earth. If you are eco friendly, you are doing it now. If you’re not and you wear green, you are only lying to yourself.

If you ask me what’s so great about LIVE Earth day. well… it’s Saturday and is good for sleeping the whole day.
