Haunted places in Singapore Part 3

A general order went out all over the island that all surrendered Allied troops were to assemble and march out to the Changi area, to Selarang Barracks. The Japanese had decided to put all the Allied prisoners-of-war on the Changi peninsula on the north-east side of Singapore island. Although Changi Gaol was in that area, they didn't go there until much later - until after they had been to the Thai/Burma Railway in fact.

For a long time, we have had information telling us that unusual things happened in those Changi barracks. A most stunning one is that the wall has a Satan face in red blood appeared at night, scared a NS man to death. The face that resembles a devil Satan just appear on the wall from nowhere, with red blood-like color. It alert the whole platoon as they were ordered out to investigate and clean up the face drawing. The death is classified of course. After the drawing was cleaned, on the next day, the face drawing appeared again as though it was a curse! That was the ultimate horror to everyone. The officers were ordered to clean the drawing, then it reappear, again and again day after day. Every time when it appeared a life was claimed mysteriously. Somebody in the barrack would just had died during the sleep at night. At the end, a decision is made to just seal up the room which had that Satanic face drawing.

A guard was appointed to jaga a Changi Commando Barrack on top of a hill. The place was very ulu and was out of the way because the barrack was sited on top of hill. The footpath slope leading up to the compound round the hill were quite long and very quiet. No electricity was available to that hill area and even the street lamps on the slope were not lit. One morning, the security was found lying dead just at the foot of the hill along Cranwell road. He died with a very scared facial expression. He got stab wounds all over his body. Streaks of blood were found all the way from the hill top to the road along the footpath. Strangely no lost of property or any money from the victim. The wounds were result of stabbing of sharp object, may be a knife or a metal stick. The very strange thing is; it looks like a murder attack from the compound within. That is, he was believed to get attacked when he was in the hilltop compound, struggled, and ran for life down the slope to the road. But at the end he fell down on the road and died of blood lost.
