Had been reading some interesting stories from www.spi.com.sg,the website of the singapore paranormal investigators and began wondering how come there are not much stories about seletar camp.My camp.It is the oldest army camp still in service and thus would definitely contains many spooks since it was rumoured that many buildings used to be used as a hospital during ww2.I am trying to collect some stories and facts about seletar camp and so if any of u have anything to contribute,pls do let me know.
Here is a little spooky story that i would like to share....
When i was first posted to seletar camp in 2004,i was stayin at blk 462 which was built in 1936(it was sculpted into the walls).It was a colonial building which is now serving as bunks to the good and wonderful people of HQ Coy 35 SCE.It was rumoured that it was once used as a hospital in ww2 and that a morgue was situated on level 3 of the building,just above the armskote.
I entered the morgue a few times to illegally hide some stores not under our inventories and upon entering it,u can feel the temperature drop a few degrees and that the air would suddenly become very thick and hard to breathe even though all the windows are opened.
However,my story has nothing to do with the morgue.
I was staying on the first level then,and without a latch,it was impossible to lock up my room.However,i never got anything stolen.I remember that it was a sunday night and i had just booked in.I was getting ready for a shower when my friends from the bunk next to mine came in and told me to return them $2.50 for the nasi lemak they bought for me on saturday morning jokingly.
I was pretty taken aback and this was the conversations that took place.
me: "wat nasi lemak?"
they: "dun keh keh lah..haha,we brought it to your bunk yesterday morning but u still sleeping,so we hanged it by your bedpost"
me: "huh?cant be leh,are u sure its me?maybe reuben lah...or maybe hansel(my bunk mates)"
they: "no no no...its you,its your face on your bed wearing that white singlet u wear to sleep"
me: "wat time was it?"
they: "around 715 am"
here comes the scary part...
me: "it cant be,at 715 am yesterday morning,i was at toapayoh eating breakfast with my (then)girlfriend"
they: "???"
and i also know for a fact my 2 bunkmates were also given long weekends and that they cant possibly be in cmap.
At that point,i thought that the 2 of them might be playing a prank on me,trying to scare me and i was expecting them to laugh and enjoy the scared look on my face.However,their expression turned serious and their cheerfulness was gone.I attempt to get them to admit to the prank but all they said was that its late and all of us should get some sleep.
Throughout my stay in 35,i got to know these 2 friends better.These 2 friends of mine are not known to be jokers.One is a staunch christian and would never joke about anything spirtiual and the other one is a serious(maybe too serious) officer who never would have came up with a prank like this.
I tried asking them a few times after that,but everytime i brought it up,they got serious and never commented on it.Till this day,wat they saw and who or wat was on my bed that morning remains a mystery.
I slept pretty soundly that night though it took me some time to get to sleep(it didnt help all my bunkmates didnt book in that nite and i slept alone).There was nuthin much more spooky about that bunk other than the occasional thump coming from the bunk adjacent to ours which was empty and locked.
I moved out of that bunk shortly after that incident to stay with the rest of the officers and that bunk was taken up by someone else.
