Celebrity Spooky Tales: Spine-chilling army experiences




Week one of our Halloween special featured tales from various abodes – and their stories may have caused you to view hotel rooms or your own home in a different light. This week, we present the spine-chilling army experiences from Ben Yeo and Tay Ping Hui during their respective military stints.

From an eerie singing voice that kept following Tay Ping Hui around to Ben Yeo personally witnessing a possessed army buddy, can you handle this week’s spook factor?

Catch it all on Toggle’s special series, Celebrity Spooky Tales - watch it if you dare. Up next week, we’ve saved some of the scariest tales for the last – an overpowering smell that everyone denies smelling and a woman’s wailing that just keeps drawing closer and closer. Catch it all next Friday, only on Toggle.
Ben Yeo
What seemed like a case of an army-mate with a typical case of epilepsy turned out to be something even more sinister – and it was made worse by another soldier’s confession that his attempt to jump out of his bunk window in the middle of the night was because of a strange woman outside beckoning him to join her.


Tay Ping Hui


You know what they say – Pulau Tekong, home to our army recruits, is inhabited by more than the living. Tay Ping Hui had his own brush with the paranormal during a night activity, when he heard an eerie singing that everyone heard but no one could pinpoint. What happened to the team of four when they finally realised that something was amiss?

This tale isn’t related to the army but is no less scary than our first two encounters this week. A night-time hike through the woods on Pulau Ubin didn’t end quite the way they thought it would. You’ll probably hesitate the next time you consider looking up that innocent-looking tree after hearing this one.
