Dead schoolkids of Singapore
For the last few years, I used to rent a condo apartment with my GF's sister (the sisters are always better looking)...anyway from time to time I would have to babysit my chinese "niece", daughter of the flatmate. Aged about 3.5 years, she already had a history of imaginary friends etc.

On the particular night anyway I was minding her and she went into a tantrum. As we had limited powers of communication (we would speak basic Indonesian), I managed to get her to agree to calm down if we went out for a walk.

We were walking past a nearby Japanese school, the kid up in my arms, when she asked, "What is that little girl doing over there?". We walked over to where she was pointing, the were some flowers and a little memorial sign detailing the events that caused some young schoolkid to lose her life there some years previously. I brought this up with her parents, they had never brought her anywhere near that area, and there was nobody else on the island minding the kid at any stage.

Also used to know a guy in Jakarta who claimed to see dead people everywhere and was regularly scared shitless while walking down the street, opening doors in old houses, etc. Reckon he had a screw loose though..
