Unearthing the Secrets of Singapore Shinto Shrine - Syonan Jinja

¡@

Buried in the dense jungle in the heart of MacRitchie Reservoir, a once Holy but forgotten Shinto Shrine called Syonan Jinja built by the Japanese during WW2 now remained only as a stone ruin structure. Reputably to be extremely haunted as it housed Kami (Japanese Shinto Holy Spirits) decades ago, and now infested by numerous wild jungle spirits and snakes, SPI pioneered the first ever most comprehensive paranormal investigation by using multiple techniques: scientific gadgets, historical and archaeological facts, Buddhism and Malay rituals. This thrilling investigation is centered on the secret tale of the lost sacred treasure of the shrine, that was said to be able to switch the fate of the defeated WW2. With over 60 hours spent at the wild jungle across 5 trips, 6,000 photos (over 1,000 showed on the website) and 8 hours of video recordings, the results produced are guaranteed to intrigue your mind.
