Question:
It might be thrilling for adventure seekers looking for something rather then the “usual haunts” of Sentosa, Orchard Road etc. Sure the market might be small, but you never know, it might be a trend or something. Think about it, Singapore weakness is that it is small and it does not have a rich cultural heritage compared to other countries. But, one thing it does have is a reputation as Asia’s most haunted place( partly thanks to the Japanese occupation and the large amount of bomohs and mediums in Singapore )You would be surprised how many “ghosts” actually resides in Singapore!
Currently, SPI a paranormal investigation group holds such tours. They have tours where they explore cemeteries, haunted houses and even demonstrations of tangkis( some sort of medium ) who will be possessed in the ritual and would be impervious to injury, doing dangerous acts such as getting strike by a real sword and showing no obvious wounds or whatsoever. Below is their company website…

I believe that the large amount of haunted places in Singapore is one of Singapore’s biggest strengths.…Where can I suggest this to the tourism board or something

Absolutely! I had no idea it was supposed to be that haunted. I’ll have to read up on it. I love paranormal stuff.
It’s interesting and maybe it might work. Try writing in to them (Singapore Tourism Board).
Yes. People in England and the US do it.
It does not work. Simply because all the old buildings with infamous historical have already been torn down. Ghost tours are simply tours held at night. Nobody expect to meet ghosts.
Changi Hospital is haunted
You might have something there … but a pure ghost tour may not be a great pulling factor as some of the other countries actually have sites where haunts still happen like castles.
I would suggest an asian spritual experience in Singapore.
Eg. A tangki (medium doing a ritual of getting possessed), a visit to a fortune teller, a Bomoh etc. Might even be possible to arrange a demostration of ‘breaking the gates of hell’ ritual preformed after 7 day of cremation.
During the seven month a tour of the Getai and explaination of the dinner for the ghost

To provide tours for Tourists and Public, you would need to be a Singapore Tourist Board Licence Guide. API has 2 such Guides and each tour is led by at least 1 licensed Guide.
