Changi Hospital, Former military hospital in Changi, Singapore.
Old Changi Hospital is an abandoned medical complex that was originally built in 1935 as part of a British military barracks and includes several connected blocks featuring colonial architecture with long corridors, large windows, and decaying medical facilities.
The hospital was constructed by the British colonial government in 1935, was seized by Japanese forces during World War II and used by the Kempeitai as a detention site, then served as RAF Hospital Changi before becoming a Singapore Armed Forces facility until its closure in 1997.
The site is widely known in Singaporean folklore for alleged paranormal activity, including reported sightings of apparitions in military uniforms, and has been featured in horror television shows, documentaries, and as inspiration for haunted attractions at Universal Studios Singapore.
The abandoned hospital is located on Halton Road in the Changi district near Changi Airport, but the site is officially off-limits to the public with security patrols preventing unauthorized entry, though some tour operators offer guided visits for approximately 85 US dollars (85 Singapore dollars) per person.
Despite multiple development proposals over the years, including plans for a luxury spa resort that fell through during economic recession, the hospital remains in its derelict state with graffiti-covered walls and vandalized facilities that continue to attract urban explorers and those interested in abandoned structures.
