Back when i was doing my BMT at
Tekong, my P.C. (Platoon Commander) brought us on a little tour of
the old SISPEC training ground. After walking through the barracks
that were lined neatly in rows, there was one particular area that
stood empty among the rows of barracks. My P.C. told us that that
empty area used to be a barrack once, but was demolished due to
‘reasons’ unexplainable. Rumour was that in the past, trainees who
slept in that particular barrack were disturbed by sounds of
‘people’ walking in their barrack in the middle of the night.
After much complains from the trainees, a priest was invited to
exorcise the barrack. After inspecting the barrack, the priest
said that this barrack is not suitable for humans to stay in as a
portal to the otherworld was situated inside it, which explains
the spirits wandering about the barrack in the middle of the
night. The priest also said that a particular area of the barrack
should not be blocked by any physical objects as that particular
area was the opening of the portal.
The trainees were transferred to another barrack and the haunted
one was used as a storeroom.
Unfortunately, one day a trainee was assigned to put a box inside
the haunted storeroom and as luck would have it, he placed the box
in that particular area which contains the portal. When he went
back to his bunk to sleep that night, he was suddenly awakened by
a presence beside him. The next day he was ill with high fever and
was admitted into hospital. When questioned about his previous
day’s activities, he told his officers about the box which he
placed in the storeroom. When they removed the box from that area
in the haunted barrack, the trainee’s fever had gotten better.
In order to prevent such ‘mistakes’ from happening again, the
barrack was soon torn down.
I believe that the sealed rooms in Changi Barracks could be
related to this case. Maybe there are similar portals found inside
them and in order to prevent the living from disturbing the
entrance of the otherworld, the only logical thing was to seal the
entire room from public. To explain to people that there are
spirits and other hauntings happening around will make a mockery
out of the Army. So I guess denial is the only way rather than
through education of the public, haha.
All the best for your future investigations, take care.
