Barracks for around 15, 400 British and Australian Troops during WWII. POWs were kept there too.
2. Dairy Farm House
History of this place is somehow unknown. There are empty bottles hanging on sticks and plants.Maybe you might want to explore the place yourself. Located at Dairy Farm Road, leading to BKE.
3. Old Ford Motor Factory
History was made there on 15th Feb 1942 when the Head of the Allied forces, Lt General A. E. Percival, surrendered to general Yamashita of the Japanese Forces. It’s also said that most patriotic Japanese soldiers and high rank officers ‘martyred’ themselves upon receiving news that Japan was losing the war, but I only read that it’s a legend.
4. Hill View Mansion
Rumoured to be haunted. No sources to prove anything.
5. Kampung Cult Lair
I’ve tried to search around but cannot find any information pertaining to Kampung Cult Lair. Anyone can share?
6. Nee Soon Camp White House
Again, rumoured to be haunted. According to rumours, people could hear ‘ghost sounds’.
7. Old Changi Hospital
It’s got a rich and long history for being former hospital of the modern newly built Changi General Hospital.
For about 10 years before WWII, the 7 storey building was a military command quarters and barracks for the British.
Japanese targeted Changi as one of the first attack points and the place was occupied by Japanese army moving from Pulau Ubin. OCH was then converted to a military hospital where civilians and wounded soldiers were attended to.

After the Japanese Occupation, it was converted back to a public hospital with a military ward on the third level. In 1997, OCH was closed and became isolated and left vacant since then.
8. Pasir Ris Red House
Rumoured that there’s a rocking chair inside the house and a doll on it.
Also, it’s said that the head of the pair of “qi ling” infront of the gate moves. No one can confirm it.
Again, anyone know anything about this?
9. Punggol Kampung House (aka Matilda House)
Glorious history for this place.
10. Woody Lodge
A hearsay that it’s haunted.
Alright, I’ve got no idea about the accuracy of the above information. The information above is obtained from SPI. SPI is an interesting website with lots of stories. Read up if you’ve got time.
