A makeshift 'altar' on which two effigies are placed together with a small coffin and joss sticks, bound together by a strip of yellow paper. Beside it are a pair of fruits with iron nails driven through their centres.
Creepy? That's what one family in Ang Mo Kio thought when they discovered this hair-raising scene outside their window.

The resident, Madam Ho, 60, told Shin Min Daily News that she first discovered the setup below her window along the common corridor that they share with their neighbour. She was puzzled but did not question her neighbour.
It was only after her son-in-law found out about the situation and inquired about it at a temple that she realised the setup might be a "curse". Ho said she immediately felt uneasy at the thought.
"I moved here for eight years and things have been peaceful with my neighbour. They pray at their doorstep, often accompanied by chanting and ringing of bells. Although I didn't feel comfortable, but I didn't say anything. But with this altar, it's too much."
Ho said she has called the police and lodged a complaint with the town council. However as it's a religious matter, the situation has yet to be resolved.
The situation got widespread attention online after a recent Facebook post made by a member of Ho's family went viral. In the comments section, many netizens posited that the practice could be a form of "black magic".
