What is fear? It might seem like an easy question right? Obviously it's when you are aware of certain danger... But then why are you afraid when you watch a horror movie? Your rational mind knows that what you are seeing is make belief and nothing is real, yet at that very same moment you are checking to see if someone is standing behind you waiting to strike ... Fear Is the unknown ...fear is ambiguity and fear is unwanted by anyone but needed by everyone ... So this Halloween; the celebration of that very fear, I present a true story ... Based on real events in Singapore ; a country too modern in it's thinking to even bother about the possibility of the supernatural that is until that day...that day which shook all...before continuing it is a moral obligation of mine to warn you guys that you should read with caution and leave all practicality behind...you have been warned.

What on earth can you capture with a camera? everything probably... As long as it's visible right? What if something is visible but at the same time it eludes imagery...it's there but it isn't . Doesn't that mean it doesn't belong in this world ?
A man... In his mid twenties walks into the hospital grounds...unsuspecting , looking for a thrill probably...he knows the stories of this place . You can see it is his smirk that he isn't expecting to see any ghosts. He is a non believer . He looks at everything through his hand held camera . He stops in his tracks and surveys the sign with a cocky lop-sided grin.
"The Changi Hopsital"
You could literally hear the adrenaline pumping in this thrill seeking body.
Changi hospital was not your ordinary hospital which you hated to attend, no ... It was a place where people came to die...where doctors were nothing but lifeless souls...where death and evil ran rampant. It was functional long ago when Singapore was always short of funds... They built a make shift hospital where people were to get treated ...unfortunately no one could account for the thousands of deaths which occurred within a short span of years...it shut down soon enough but the thing few knew and fewer chose to acknowledge is that the hospital is still haunted by its past... If you heard closely you can still hear the last screams of agony of each the patients awaiting their death only to be trapped in a hell hole.
With one final glance at human civilization he entered the huge building which looked like it could topple over at any given time. All he could hear after that was the sound of his own beating heart and the crunch of the leaves beneath his feet. He pushed the seemingly weightless door open and glanced in.
The howling wind outside heavily contrasted the unnatural stillness inside the hospital yet a chill ran down his spine forcing him to take a step back.
Just as he was about to turn around he felt a force pushing him as he fell over into the entrance of the hospital. Shock overtook him as he scrambled to get back on his feet . He struggled to get back to the entrance when the door slammed shut in his face,
A bead of perspiration ran down his face as he got acquainted with feeling he never knew well before...fear.
He could only think of one thing to do in this situation. Run.
He ran as fast as his legs could carry him ...at first he didn't notice much as he ran across the halls ...the he started noticing the silhouetted dark forms evolving into more and more real people ...they had a strange ability to look right past you . They ignored him and kept moving forward, he stopped in his tracks after what seemed like an eternity of running...
He glanced at his surroundings and realized that he was in an eerie operation theatre...he saw the rusty operational instruments and as it glistened into his eyes leaving him periodically blinded.
He heard a bewitching voice...soft and beautiful ...he craned his neck to take a look...he dropped his camera on the ground leaving it unable to capture anything but his voice...
"It's time for your surgery..."
The last sound the camera captured was a loud scream which echoed through the halls of the hospital and a evil laugh so evil it seemed inhuman...it wasn't.
His body was found cut open by one of the surgical instruments next to his bloody camera...till this day if you replay the footage of the camera you can hear his heartbeat, the voices , the footsteps and you can even feel his fear radiating through the camera but you can never see anything other than the very walls he dies within ...some say he was crazy others say the hospital was really haunted but only the Hospital and it's blood stained walls knew the truth...the tale of the cursed hospital has been and always will be a secret, but now you know too...
The end?
Okay guys whatever wrote is purely fiction...it is Halloween *evil laugh* but in Singapore the Changi hospital is still considered haunted ...so have a great Halloween and celebrate fear because life will be too boring without it ...
