This is me breaking into a LucasFilms photography course the other day. They went to an old hospital location for the pics: Creepy, creepy...
Construido na decada de 20, inicialmente seria um predio militar: fica estrategicamente circundado pela porcao lest e sul dos mares da Singapura (ilha e-n-o-r-m-e) situado no topo de um morro (o que eh bem raro em Singapura, uma vez que quase todos os morros foram transformados em aterro para "contruir" a praia aqui de East Coast).
With its classical design, one can see that OCH is a typical replica of buildings built by British Colonial architects in the early 20's. Surprisingly OCH was not meant to be a hospital when it was first built (same for the A/E). The British was planning to have a heavily guarded military location in the east of Singapore. The site was strategically selected for it is high on top of a hill overlooking the sea surrounding most of the east side and the south side of the island.
Em fevereiro de 1942, na epoca do Na ataque Japones, o hospital serviu como hospital militar para tratamento dos feridos de guerra.
During the assault of the Japanese aggression from Malaya in February 1942, Changi was targeted as one of the first attack points. In a day or two, it was occupied by the Japanese army moving from Puala Ubin. Soon after that it was converted to a military hospital where all the wounded soldiers and civilians were attended to.
A superticao local diz que o hospital ainda eh "habitado" por esses antigos pacientes, os quais, de vez em quando, resolvem dar uma voltinha (vestidos de branco, carregando corrente e com todos os apretechos de halloween...)
Stories about the building being haunted started in the early 40's.
