In Singapore, there's a park known as the Haw Par Villa, an expansive theme park filled with over 1,000 statues, and hundreds of detailed three-dimensional dioramas. Of course, lots of parks have statues and memorials of people from history. But these dioramas set Haw Par Villa apart; and make it a much wilder, much stranger place.  At the epicenter of the park is the Ten Courts of Hell. It's a self-guided tour through the experiences one would expect from hell. Or at least, the Hell imagined by the multicultural mythology that makes Singapore so unique.  While the purpose of the park was to show children the consequences of their bad behavior, the implementation created something rather dark and foreboding.  And now, the park has gained a reputation as haunted.So, perhaps it's not a surprise that some of these spooky statues and dioramas are thought to be haunted.  But what about haunted dolls?  How does something created for a sweet and innocent purpose, something that provides comfort and safety to so many, come to get such an evil reputation? In a world with so many dolls, how does one single doll become infamous?Learn more about the history of three famous haunted dolls; Peggy (who inspired the story of Annebelle), Robert & the girl-doll of the Yesterdays' Museum.For images and full show notes visit:  http://mydarkpath.com/season1episode9-1ReferencesPeggy & Annabelle:https://web.archive.org/web/20160522230945/http://www.warrens.net/annabelle.htmlhttps://www.nhregister.com/lifestyle/article/Real-Annabelle-story-shared-by-Lorraine-11382545.phphttps://www.glamour.com/story/real-story-behind-annabelleRobert:https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/robert-dollhttps://www.ghostsandgravestones.com/key-west/robert-the-dollPediophobia & the Yesterdays' Museum:Antoinette May, Haunted Houses of CaliforniaEva Marie Simms, “Uncanny Dolls” New Literary History 27.4 (1996): 663-677.Music:Sportscenter, Ghost BeatzBrenner, FallsFalling, Alice in WinterStranger Danger, Alternate EndingsOnward, Chelsea McGoughPerfect Spades, Third Age, Nu Alkemi$t 

Alvin Oon is a very positive, upbeat guy.  Usually, I’m suspicious of guys like that, because really, who are they fooling? But for Alvin, that’s genuinely the way he is.  And as you’ll hear, any guy who made a choice to pursue the performing arts in Singapore and go his own way and who made a successful life for himself and his family must have a positive attitude. Alvin is an actor, singer, emcee, director, he can basically do it all.  He also writes songs, and some of his songs poking fun at life in Singapore have gone viral, getting hundreds of thousands of views.  If you like any of them you hear later, I encourage you to check out the videos on youtube. Here are pictures and links to a few of the things we mentioned in the show: Scene from '10 Courts of Hell' at Haw Par Villa Scene from '10 Courts of Hell' at Haw Par Villa Depiction of filial piety - Haw Par Villa. photo by Jnzl Statue at Haw Par Villa Alvin's Songs: All I Ever See is Haze Give Me Back My Terrex Chia Don’t Let The Train Breakdown on Me One Nation Together

“The Ten Courts Of Hell are contained in a large, snake shaped mountain of crumbling plaster, which at one point was in the form of a large dragon. Small severed heads adorn the outside, with an inscription in Chinese that I would later learn translates to “The sea of bitterness has no boundaries, turn back and you will find shore”. I suppose this was meant as a warning, a portent of what lay waiting for me inside, but I ignored the heads and ominous writing and headed toward the opening…”
