Haw Par Villa: Singapore's Ten Courts of Hell | Haunted Folklore & the Chinese Afterlife

Perched on a hill in Singapore is one of the world's most unusual attractions. Haw Par Villa was built to teach morality through Chinese folklore, but it is the Ten Courts of Hell that have haunted generations of visitors. Join us as we explore the remarkable story behind this extraordinary park, the ancient beliefs that inspired it, why so many Singaporeans remember it from childhood, and the eerie atmosphere that continues to surround it - especially during Hungry Ghost Month.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://www.hawparvilla.sg/https://www.hawparvilla.sg/about-us/https://www.hawparvilla.sg/hells-museum/https://www.hawparvilla.sg/plan-your-visit/https://www.roots.gov.sg/places/places-landing/Places/national-monuments/haw-par-villahttps://www.sg101.gov.sg/resources/archives/haw-par-villa/https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/infopedia/articles/SIP_765_2005-01-19.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haw_Par_Villahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diyuhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Kingshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama_(East_Asia)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meng_Pohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Festivalhttps://www.channelnewsasia.com/cna-insider/haw-par-villa-hells-museum-afterlife-chinese-beliefs-2947686https://www.timeout.com/singapore/things-to-do/haw-par-villahttps://www.atlasobscura.com/places/haw-par-villahttps://www.atlasobscura.com/places/hells-museumhttps://www.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/by9wxp/haw_par_villa_is_creepy/https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g294265-d317855-Reviews-Haw_Par_Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.
