This is a real-life experienced I have back in those days as a relief taxi driver on the night shift. Onraet Road is one of the creepiest roads for the taxi driver to pass thru Thompson Road, especially at night. Hope you listeners enjoy the story that I share in my podcast Onraet Road.

Detention Centre is on a little-known road, Onraet Road. The road as well as its the name has an origin from spooky and creepy tales that has much to do with the Police Academy itself.
I was in my early 30 when I passed my taxi driving license. I decided to do it as a part-time
taxi driver night shift just to earn extra for my family. I have heard about Onraet Road even
before I became a part-time relief taxi driver. We as taxi drivers always have our group to
meet up and chat sometime listening to real life most disturbing horror short stories.
After a long hour on the road.
One day I pickup up a gentleman from FarEast Plaza at Scott Road to Bishan at Thomson
Road, it was almost 3.00 am. Quite a nice young chap very humble and jovial.
I asked him in a polite manner where he is going. He told me he just finish work
and need to reach home fast if possible indeed I also wanted to end my shift
fast on that day. So my fastest and shortest route will be Mount Pleasant and
thru Onraet Road.
We chat in the taxi while I listen and also attentive while at the wheel. He kind of a talkative guy.
When I reach a bend in Onreat Road I’m puzzled with a big question mark on my mind.
Why this guy suddenly zipped his mouth in dead silence? I sense something is not
right with him. But I just ignored that, once after I’m about to turn from Onreat Road to Thomson
Road I asked him hey why are you just suddenly very silent? Do you know what he answers me back?
I JUST SAW A LADY IN WHITE WITH LONGHAIR UNDER THE BIG TREE NEAR THE BEND waving at my taxi to share a ride with him to Bishan I think.
