Spooky

Was readin my best fren Melvin the evil one's blog and he was sharing his experiences at the old changi hospital. To be honest i wouldn't find myself in his position, simply to say i've no guts. I'm not ashame to admit that.

But well i had my share of spooks too, all happen when i was serving my NS. My camp was used by the British during colonial rule so its veri old, but have moved to a new location now. So the old Keat Hong camp which i spend 2 years of my life now stands dark with abandoned sheds and buildings. Lets jus say i wun recommand you to go there at nite.

My first experience was durin my BMT( basic military training). At that time we slept on old sponge beds with small metal cupboards to place our staff by the bedside. After lights off at one time, i was fast asleep till i was awoken by a loud metal sound. Apparently its the sound of one of the empty metal cupboards draggin against the concrete floor. So you can imagine what kind of loud and disturbing sound it is.
I was freaked out and dare not get up to see who was moving the cupboard at such a late hour. So i shut my eyes and try to get back to sleep.

The next morning, the cupboards were at their original places as if nothin has happened. So i asked around my bunkmates to check whether did they hear anything the nite before. The frightening part is that all of them heard the sound too. We thought might be our sergent playing a prank but our door was closed. So who was moving the cupboard?

Another incident was even more scary. I had this certain bloke in my platoon who is always reporting sick. My first thought was CHAO KENG* ( army term for malingering)
But it so happen that one time he got veri sick and got Att C ( which is MC) so he could go home rest. During BMT, we had to make our beds veri neat. We had to tie and pull the bedsheets tight that when you flick a coin on it, it will jump up. So that nite this guy was not in camp, the next mornin we found a human shape imprinted on his bed, as if someone slept there. The bedsheets are tight and none of us laid on his bed so that shouldn't be the case. And since our beds are made of sponge, everytime we wake up, the contour of our body will leave marks on the bed. We all saw it and dare not utter a word, so we jus turn around and walked away.

When this guy came back, we told him bout his bed and he was kinda like stunned and immediately changed to another bed. After my BMT i was posted to another bunk and since than nothin has happened. But i've heard stories of others seeing "things" around the camp.

I had another weird experience and this time its at Thailand having an overseas training with my unit. But its a long story so i wun say it here. If you are interested to know, you can come ask me.
