With a torch in one hand and an electromagnetic meter in the other, paranormal investigator Charles Goh scours some shrub land in suburban Singapore, looking for hidden graves that could give clues to a ghostly encounter he had three decades ago.

Goh’s investigations have led him to the residential neighbourhood of Yishun, an area that has developed a reputation for criminal, strange and sometimes supernatural events in one of the world’s safest cities.
