Ubin German Girl Temple
After a young German girl died shortly after the start of World War I in Pulau Ubin, Singapore, she was immortalized in a Chinese Temple. The spirit of this girl is believed to be quite powerful, attracting worshipers and even people who stole her remains. A German merchant lived in the village of Pulau Ubin, and in 1914, the British came to take over the plantation. As the British were taking over by force, the young daughter of the owner ran in terror and fell over a cliff, dieing on impact.
Her body was found a few days later by workers from the plantation. Not too long after, her body was exhumed and put into a Chinese temple on a hill not too far away. Gamblers who prayed there and won would attribute their luck to the spirit of the German girl. The remains of her were kept in the temple until 1974, when a granite quarry took over the site. A new temple was built for the remains, but the urn that’s in the center is empty. The belief is that the urn has a strong spiritual force, and the content of the urn was robbed by people who practice black magic. People have seen moving shadows outside the temple at night. People have also been possessed in the presence of the temple, with the victims experiencing extreme vomiting and diction of the German language.
