Movie rights purchased... film to be completed!


An update for the Old Changi Hospital film project HAUNTED CHANGI. A local production company has purchased all of our footage from the project. As part of the contractual agreements, the crew is handing all footage and materials for the project over to the production company and keeping all blogs online as they were during the production. When there are any updates, we will still post here and continue blogging about our experiences with the film. Thanks to everyone for all of the support.

News about the movie's theatrical release coming soon!

Meanwhile, there is a new Facebook Page for the movie here: facebook.com/hauntedchangi

Thanks for all of your support.

Amazing night footage captured at OCH!

Spent the week sorting through the OCH night footage captured by two infrared helmet cameras and the regular camera -- a lot of material.

Well, in our last post we were relieved to have survived the night shoot at Old Changi Hospital, but we probably sounded a bit disappointed that there were so many technical difficulties. It was a truly creepy experience in OCH, but we were really afraid that we didn't capture anything on camera.

But now after reviewing some of the night footage... we are afraid that we actually DID capture something on camera! Let there be no mistake... we've got some AMAZING footage of OCH at night. It will not disappoint. Believe us, we'd love to share and show you everything right now, but we do have the film to complete -- so it has to wait.

Whatever was in Changi that night, it was definitely not camera shy during our visit... unless of course you can somehow rationalize what is seen in the footage -- again and again. We'll leave it up to the viewers to decide when the movie is screened.

Why so spiritually active at OCH? We don't know, but it's been suggested that Feb. 15th is the anniversary of the Japanese invasion during World War Two, sixty-eight years ago... and that was close to the time of our night visit. Dunno, we're quite skeptical, but it's an interesting theory.

With that in mind, most of the crew are now vowing never to return to OCH. Can you blame them? But our ever skeptical director Andrew is planning to go back for some extra footage at some point and... well, that's all we can say right now.

Please be patient with us. We're soooo tempted to post more and show you everything right now... but we've got to save it for the film. However, there are a few more shots we can share below.

Stay tuned for more updates on the post-production end of things... and wish us luck!

(which incidentally involved the Ghost Hunters of Singapore group.)

unsettling moment during the night shoot.


Sheena taken by Andrew's IR cam after the last spooky "incident" of
the night -- and that basically prompted the crew to exit OCH.

Again, we'd love to show you more of what happened during the night shoot at OCH... but it's best to save it for the movie!

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!
