It is proven that for any topological or analytical types of isolated singular points of plane curves, there exists a non-real irreducible plane algebraic curve of degree $d$ which goes through $d^2$ real distinct points and has imaginary singular points of the given types. This result is used to construct a series of examples of complex algebraic surfaces $X$ defined over $\R$ whose quotients $Y=X/\conj$ by the complex conjugation $\conj$ are $Spin$ simply connected 4-manifolds with signature $16k$, for arbitrary integer $k>0$.
