Ghastly Encounters Made Me Fearfully Fun
Halloween vibes are still alive—whether or not there’s a pandemic, ghosts keep showing up. That’s why actress Munah Bagharib, the star of Murder at Old Changi Hospital, decided to spill the creepy details of her most terrifying spooky moments.
The Teen‑Age Thriller
- Picture this: Munah’s teenage self is home, knocking to let Mom know she’s ready. She half‑checks the hallway, then hears Dad say, “She’s in the bathroom.” So she heads into her room—because, hey, family rituals.
- She bounces back moments later, just as the door to their room unlocks. She can’t resist checking in. “Hey, where’s Abah?” she asks.
- Mom replies, “Abah? He’s not at home, it’s just me.” The hair in her neck does a dramatic hop. Munah tells Mom her dad’s voice—he’s definitely still there. The family shrugs, but the mystery lingers.
Fail‑Proof South Korean Spin‑Off
In Seoul, while sleeping, a bang‑bang‑bang noise erupts from the wardrobe—like a soundtrack straight out of a horror flick. Munah’s adrenaline takes a quick hit:
- She jolts awake, opens the closet, and screams, “Who’s there!”
- With a sword‑in‑hand stance (just in case), she’s ready to face some phantom villain. But there’s nothing—just a quiet, empty closet.
- Regardless, she keeps the lights on for the rest of the night, just in case a ghost shows up.
Still A Daring Horror Star
Despite these unnerving episodes, Munah is not afraid to tackle the supernatural on stage.
She’s the lead in Murder at Old Changi Hospital, Singapore’s first live theatre‑plus‑escape‑room experience. Munah plays a murdered woman whose four suspects are missing. Twenty‑five years later, visitors get to solve the cold case by:
- Collecting clues
- Decoding riddles
- Deciphering old video footage
It’s a thrilling dash for justice—complete with puzzles that keep you on the edge of your seat.
Unmasking the Mystery at Old Changi Hospital: A Virtual Escape Room Adventure
“I loved it was a brand‑new concept, and I was thrilled to dive in—especially because we could capture every twist with the 360 camera. It felt like a stage set on steroids, but we had to stay alert to the lens.” One film‑goer shares her joy at the cinematic experiment.
Keeping the Spirits (and Crew) Safe
Despite the eerie vibes, nothing truly spooky happened on set. Thanks to the crew’s tight safety checks, filming dragged on without a hitch.
“Before each shoot we would gather for a quick prayer—blessing the space and giving thanks. It’s a ritual of respect we carry over to both theatre and filming. I genuinely feel we’re co‑habiting the space with other energies, so it’s all about recognizing each other.”
