I Want to Believe the Podcast – S4 Episode 8 | Unsolved & Haunted

Music at the top of the episode: Put Your Head on My Shoulder by Paul Anka

Music at the close of the episode: All I Need by Method Man ft. Mary J. Blige

Welcome to the I Want to Believe podcast. In 1990, a young couple stopped at the Amber Beacon Tower on the Singapore shoreline. Moments later, nothing would ever be the same. I’ll tell ya about it in a sec…

Alright… let’s talk about an unsolved murder and a haunting.

A young couple, James Soh and Kelly Hong were friends and classmates in secondary school. They enjoyed each other’s company throughout the years. But when James was attending University and studying polytechnic he finally asked Kelly out, making it about a decade after they first met in school.

The pair ventured out to the Singapore shoreline for their first date as an official couple. After walking for a while, they stopped for a short break, sitting to rest and talk upon the stairs of the Amber Beacon Tower. The tower is a brightly colored beacon that exhumes a radiant light and makes for a convenient resting place, positioned right on the beachfront.

The unsuspecting couple were sitting peacefully when... they were attacked. Listen to the episode for the rest of the story.
