Incredibly scary night at OCH...

Well, we managed to survive Old Changi Hospital at night. But it wasn't easy. At a loss of words to describe the experience. It was a rough night and the crew definitely got spooked. Nothing really seemed to go right during the shoot, so honestly, we don't know what we managed to capture on film or if our experience will translate very well, but... even so, it was quite an experience. The film's producer, Sheena, has already vowed to never return. We'll see about that!

Planning to review the night footage and post some more pics as soon as possible. But first, a bit of rest and recovery...

Next stop - OCH at night...

Night exploration of OCH coming up! We've enlisted a Taoist Master to perform a cleansing ritual before the exploration to appease the wandering spirits and protect the crew. There is a bit of debate amongst the crew about whether this is really a good idea or not. We do want to capture some evidence of paranormal activity while we're there... don't we?


Anyhow, we're happy to announce that the official Ghost Hunters of Singapore will be joining us on the night exploration! They'll be bringing along their knowledge of the supernatural along with a bunch of scientific gadgets -- motion sensors, thermal cams, etc. In addition, they said they have a special surprise for us -- in the way of a "very young ghost hunter" that apparently has a special ability. Interested? We are too.


Okay, time for talk is over. Next stop... Old Changi Hospital... at night!

Daytime OCH footage chills...

Daytime footage reviewed with the crew today. Incredible shots. Again, we can't give anything away except to say "shadows." As most people in Singapore already know, Old Changi Hospital is famous for housing certain types of ghosts and spirits. The footage we captured does not disappoint. It would definitely seem that if there are any otherworldly beings in OCH, they were definitely not camera shy. We did not expect to capture much, but a few shots are just downright spine tingling. Of course, there are probably numerous logical explanations for these types of shots, but it still makes the place very interesting and hopefully helps make our film just as interesting.

There was some debate about a new development with the project... but it's hush, hush for now. Meanwhile, Audi continued to capture his "behind the scenes" during the review (pic posted below.)

Sheena and Farid were particularly freaked out by a certain photo taken in OCH during our day exploration. One thing is for certain, when the crew goes back this weekend for the night exploration, they will all be sticking close together!

Hidden treasure found in OCH!

Okay, not really. But one of the crew found this old Japanese "banana" money during our daytime exploration of Old Changi Hospital... $1000. Part of a ceiling had fallen through and this was in a puddle in the rubbish. Maybe someone hid it up there a long time ago during the war? Is there more money there? Don't know... but apparently this war money has no real value anymore - even though it says "The Japanese Government PROMISES to pay the bearer on demand... One Thousand Dollars." Hmmm... ;)

OCH Daytime Exploration = Creepy atmosphere!

Inside Old Changi... what an experience! That place is truly creepy and has quite an unsettling and dark atmosphere. Periodic rain made it even more spooky... dripping water, spine tingling tapping sounds. Not to mention, our friends told us it didn't rain anywhere else yesterday!??


There were a couple of very tense moments for the crew. Our producer, Sheena, was creeped out by a certain room. Audi, the cameraman, was a bit jumpy the whole day and had his share of chills. Even our soundman, Farid, got a fright... and supposedly recorded some very strange sounds in SAF ward. Of course, our fearless director Andrew brought plenty of skepticism along and always had a rational explanation handy. But it's safe to say, he's outnumbered by new believers in Old Changi Hospital's legendary creepiness.


You wouldn't believe some of the other things we found in there! Ah, but we can't tell you everything... must wait for the movie.


We'll be reviewing footage over the next couple of days, but it's safe to say, we've got some good content.


We still have to go back again... at night! Next weekend. Please start praying for us. ;)

You won't believe what's in this room! (Must wait for movie though!)

Spooky graffiti demon-skull in SAF ward.

OCH chapel! ;) Confess to your graffiti sins.

Old OCH medical documents! Don't know if these are real or not.

More creepy graffiti...

Check out our Facebook pages for more photos of the crew behind the scenes! Of course we can't share everything... we have to save the best material for the movie!

Permission granted to explore!

Alright, we're goin' in! We've got official permission to enter and film inside Old Changi Hosptial for one day and one night. This weekend, we're heading into OCH for the day exploration. Should be very interesting.

Among other things, we'll be searching for the mortuary, the rumored torture chamber, and the secret underground tunnels. But who knows? This is the infamous, reputedly haunted Old Changi Hospital. We may also find other "things" and capture something good on camera.


Wish us luck. If we don't post about the experience in a couple of days... send for help! :)

Interviews in progress...

Currently focusing on interviews with various people who have stories to tell about OCH. Graffiti artists, legend trippers, former hospital workers, patients... and we've even got an exclusive interview with a former POW who was tasked by a secret Japanese military medical experiment unit! Very strange and creepy. We already feel blessed to get this fascinating material for the film.


We're still looking for more people to interview. If you're interested and have a story, please post below or contact us.
