Matilda House

Punggol · Singapore · House

Matilda House was built in 1902 by the Cashin family and is the only surviving colonial bungalow in Punggol, now surrounded by new high-rises. While the house stood abandoned, rumours spread that three construction workers had died in connection with demolition attempts and that machines broke down whenever they came near – punishment, it was said, from a female guardian spirit seen sitting in the trees watching over the house. The story made the bungalow one of Singapore's most talked-about haunted addresses. Today the house has been restored as a condominium clubhouse, and according to residents with "the sight", the lights are kept on around the clock – just in case.
