Let me tell you my account which happened several yrs back in 1992. Together with my relatives, we stayed at one of the chalets at Nethavaron Rd (near OCH) during a school vacation. I was serving NS then.

The first nite was as usual, BBQ and then chit chat till late at nite. When everyone went to sleep, I didn't as I was playing Sega game then.  That was a mistake....

 At about 3am, I heard a sound from the kitchen which was not in my sight. It was the sound of someone opening one of the drawers. I could distinctly hear the forks and spoons clanging against each other when the drawer closed again. At first, I didn't think much. It was after the sound of the opening and closing of the drawer got louder and more frequent that I realised that something is not right. I dashed into the bedroom and slept. I didn't dare to check it out.

The next morning, when we sat down for breakfast, I was shocked to hear my relatives saying that they could sense people in the room. For e.g., my uncle in one of the rooms, heard the cupboard door being open and close many times. My aunty and cousins (in another room) also heard their cupboard doors opening and closing. They all said that they could feel air movements as if, there were people walking in the room!

We discussed and nobody stayed on after that. We left the chalet. The elders believed that the spirits from OCH could have occupied the chalet when it was not taken. And when people came, 'they' probably wanted us to leave. Well, 'they' succeeded.....


Post a follow-up on this mystery here.

I was admitted into OCH, SAF ward, during August '95 for 2 weeks.

The SAF ward of OCH was located at 7th level. At that time, the whole 7th level was sort of a 'special' level, with wards not meant for ordinary civilian use. There's a ward for inmates from nearby Changi Prison, occupying one big end of the floor, where its doors were closed at all time, but through the door windows you could see a of couple wardens/police officers stationed inside when there's inmates admitted, if not, it's empty; then there's the SAF ward, took up the floor in the middle, which I'm the only occupant at that time; and finally, the SAF Psycho-medicine Branch/Ward, occupied the other end, for the mentally unsound SAF personnels.

So how was OCH ward like in those days? White walls, pink doors, clean, peaceful & serene, except for every Tuesdays, when it was sort of parents-visiting days at the psycho-medicine branch. Same ambience and atmosphere during the nights too. Another hospital which, in my opinion, shared the same 'feelings' with OCH is Alexandra hospital.

During my 2 weeks stay, I saw occasional shadows moving about on the ceilings of the corridor when it's empty, and heard some coughing near me, even though I'm the only patient in the ward, during days and nights. Beside these trivial stuff (I've seen worse at Slim Barrack), there was once I woke up to a strong flower perfume (never smelled a frangipani before) in a particularly cold night. Tried everything - increase the speed of ceiling fan, rub tiger balm near the nose (was that desperate to get rid of overly sweet smell). The perfume disappeared when a nurse came in during a routine check.

Kind of sad to read that what was once an ideal hospital (to me) is now one of the most haunted sites in Singapore.

Just want to share with others that even haunted sites can have peaceful/positive moments/sides too.

The OCH I was admitted was at Changi, on top of a small knoll, near Changi chalets.

As for the shadows, I did walk out to the corridor and take a peek. The light on the ceiling were from the ward, yellowish in colour, as for the lighting at compound/ground floor, they were of white and not too bright, the ward's light were much stronger. Initially, I thought the shadows were made by the ceiling fans, as the movement were about same speed, until I realised that the shadows appeared inconsistently and sometimes against the movement of the fans.

The flower smell incident happened only once, at night. I can only describe it as overpowering sweet, but distinctly floral, perfume. As mentioned, I was awaken by the perfume, no visual, white lady, whatever. At the same time, I feel very cold, but I did not sneeze or have running nose(i have mild sinus). Seemed like all the hairs standing on their ends, had goosebumps.

A little more info about OCH - across ground floor main lift lobby, you will find a hall, that's was the canteen. At the canteen you will find a room with large shutter gate - that's the only stall of the canteen. A bit large for a stall. You will notice a metal hatch door, padlocked. A cupboard was used to be on top of the area, but did not cover all of it. I've seen your article on OCH - entrance to 'secret' bunker? ;) Forget about it - it will be a haven for germs.

Best wishes to your next Ghoulish Trail. I hope the participants will learn to respect, not just fear the world of supernatural.
