It was a warm afternoon when I decided to visit Old Changi Hospital. As an urban explorer, I’d heard countless tales about its haunted reputation. Built in 1935, the hospital had witnessed the horrors of World War II, serving as a site of suffering under Japanese occupation. The stories of tortured souls and lingering spirits intrigued me. Little did I know, my curiosity would lead me to an encounter I’d never forget.

As I approached the hospital, the air grew heavy. The crumbling walls and overgrown vegetation gave the place an eerie, forgotten aura. Broken windows stared at me like hollow eyes, and graffiti covered the walls like scars. Despite the heat, a chill ran down my spine. I hesitated but pushed forward, drawn by the mystery.
Inside, the atmosphere was suffocating. The silence was deafening, broken only by the faint creak of rusted metal. I heard whispers—soft, indistinct murmurs that seemed to come from nowhere. My heart raced as I turned, flashlight in hand, only to find empty hallways. I told myself it was the wind, but deep down, I knew better.

I ventured deeper, searching for the old operating theatre rumored to be the most haunted part of the hospital. The air grew colder with each step. Suddenly, I felt an icy hand on my shoulder. I froze, too terrified to turn around. When I finally mustered the courage, there was nothing—just the endless, darkened corridor. But then, a mournful sob echoed through the halls. My flashlight flickered, and I saw her—a shadowy figure in a blood-stained nurse’s uniform. Her hollow eyes met mine, and I felt a wave of dread.

Panic set in. I turned to run, but the hospital seemed to shift around me. Doors that were open moments ago were now sealed shut. The hallways stretched endlessly, and the temperature dropped to freezing. I was trapped. Desperation took over as I sprinted, my breath visible in the cold air. Just as I thought I’d never escape, I stumbled upon an exit. I burst into the sunlight, my heart pounding.

Later, I researched the hospital’s history. The nurse I saw was rumored to be a victim of the Japanese occupation, her spirit forever bound to the place of her suffering. Old Changi Hospital remains abandoned, its secrets buried in time. But sometimes, late at night, I still hear her mournful cries in my dreams. The echoes of the past never fade.
