Ghost Hunt...


Last Saturday was another Ghost Hunting trip organized by me... It was an impromptu thing as I only started contacting everyone at 5 and the outing was confirmed at 9.30... There would be 3 planned destinations for this trip, Old Tanglin Camp, Old Brunei Hostel and Robert Barracks... Everyone arrived at 12 with the exception of Brandan who came slightly late... I almost forgotten Joanne until Winnie asked if there was supposed to be 2 other girls...

1st stop was Old Tanglin Camp... The place was fully fenced up and the fence isn’t like other places where it’s old and will disintegrate with a kick or 2... In fact, the fence was pretty sturdy and new, no signs of rust at all except this inconsistency near to the gate... We reckon someone has cut it before and it was mended, not much of a problem to un-mend is again...

I found a pair of pliers in my car and used it to initiate the dismantling of the fence while the rest was done by Winnie’s boyfriend (was his name Brian?)... He opened up the fence pretty quickly though we may need to squeeze a little... After considering Vincent’s size, he got to work again and made such a big hole that everyone could easily walk through it without as much as a hair touching the wires...

We walked in and proceed to the main building... There was a parade square, not very big when parade squares are concerned... We were about to enter the building when I noticed a ring of red lights to our left... Crap... Infrared Camera... We turned around and quickly headed out... Now that I think about it, that camera could probably see my license plate number... Sianzz... From the time we started tearing down the fence to the time I saw the camera was a good half an hour or so, more than enough time for the Police to arrive but no one appeared... The guards were probably asleep ba...

2nd stop was the Brunei Hostel... There wasn’t any barrier to enter the Hostel and we went in without much hesitation... As an abandoned hostel, I’m pretty sure there wouldn’t be any security cameras at this place... This place is in the middle of a high income residential area and directly opposite was a house with a security hut... The security guard most probably saw us so Vincent and Joanne stayed outside in case the Police came... The buildings were broken down with some dangers of it collapsing... They were pretty big with low ceilings but not much paranormal activities though...

3rd stop was Bukit Brown Cemetery... It was suggested by Vincent as he had previously mentioned he’ll bring us there on the forums... We stopped at the entrance which was pretty intimidating... The roads were very narrow and there wasn’t any place where we could have parked our cars and take a stroll around... After a few junctions, I immediately noticed we’ve been on the same road before... I could recognize the trees and potholes while my passengers didn’t believe me until they saw the same shed and statues along the way... I was actually quite happy that something is going to happen... To my disappointment, it was just a wrong turn and we got out of the cemetery without any problems...

4th stop was Robert Barracks... We reached there and realized the place was demolished and some construction was underway... Since we were at Changi, we decided to go OCH after much lazing around...

At OCH, only a group of 9 went in while the rest stayed outside... Jack as usual went off on his own... We found candles on the 2nd floor of the SAF wing and that is when JJ and Winnie saw a darting shadow... They kept saying there was someone at the direction the shadow darted to but saw no one... It was 4.30 in the morning and there couldn’t be anyone else in the building besides us... Furthermore, they had previously spotted Jack taking pictures downstairs so it couldn’t be him... After much thinking, JJ and Winnie both realized that something was not right... The irritatingly noisy JJ went silent for the rest of the trip after this incident...

When I saw an offering altar set up in one of the rooms, my hair stood on its ends and I felt very uncomfortable staring at it... I wanted to get out of that place badly but stepped to the side and waited for the others to take pictures of the altar... I was fine as long as I wasn’t looking at the altar... We carried walking around with nothing else interesting happening until we decided to go up to the roof top... That is when we spotted the 2nd altar set up at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the rooftop... We didn’t want to disturb the setup and left the compound at 5.30am...

After so many trips to OCH, the place no longer scares us but Brandan said that he felt quite uneasy during this particular trip... Seems like the candles and altars had some particular effect to this long over explored place...
