Come one, come ghouls,\u00a0here are the world\u2019s spookiest places:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Old Changi Hospital, Singapore<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are few things scarier than an abandoned hospital. How lucky are we to have one of our own in Singapore?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The now-abandoned Changi Hospital, was built by the British in 1935 as a military hospital. Sadly, when the Japanese took Singapore in WWII, the hospital was turned into a prison. It\u2019s been reported that the Japanese military police, the <em>Kempeitai<\/em>, tortured POWs on-site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S6DFxX8EhgQ?rel=0\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In 2006 there was a failed attempt by a private developer to turn the site into a spa\/resort (we wonder why\u2026) and today, the building remains empty &#8212; except of course for novice\u00a0ghost hunters. It has been used as a setting for several local TV dramas and even a horror film. Visitors and filmmakers reported sighting of apparitions and hearing strange screams\u2026<\/p>\n<p>This is the trailer for Haunted Changi which was released in 2011. Quite a decent film in our opinion, though we definitely do not envy the filmmakers for spending that much time on the haunted grounds of Old Changi Hospital.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Port Arthur, Tasmania, Australia<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7456\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/port-arthur-tasmania-800x533-1.jpg\" alt=\"Port Arthur\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><em><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\"><a class=\"owner-name truncate\" title=\"Go to Stephen Michael Barnett's photostream\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/httpwwwflickrcomphotostopend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-track=\"attributionNameClick\" data-rapid_p=\"59\">Stephen Michael Barnett<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.portarthur.org.au\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Port Arthur<\/a>, in the southern end of Tasmania, is infamous for two reasons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first lies in its origins as a convict settlement. The picturesque location, set behind a calm bay, was a penal colony between 1833 to 1877. The sandstone prisons were the home of some of the most hardened criminals. According to records, prisoners were subject to some brutal physical and psychological (mis)treatment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second reason was the Port Arthur massacre, which occurred in 1996. Martin Bryant went on a killing spree and shot dead 35 people and wounded 25 more. Together, the tourist site, with its crumbling ruins, gives most visitors the creeps.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When you visit, don\u2019t forget to take a tour out to the<strong> Isle of the Dead<\/strong>. The island served as burial grounds for over 1000 prisoners who died at Port Arthur. You can take things one step further by joining ghost tours of the site.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, China<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-7453 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/nanjing-massacre-memorial-800x534-1.jpg\" alt=\"Nanjing Massacre Memorial Museum\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" \/><em><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\"><a class=\"owner-name truncate\" title=\"Go to macchi's photostream\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/macchi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-track=\"attributionNameClick\" data-rapid_p=\"34\">macchi<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Nanjing, China, when the Japanese invaded in 1937, it\u2019s believed that thousands of Chinese were executed and buried in mass graves. The Memorial Hall, built by the Chinese government in 1985, documents and memorialises the lives lost. Gruesome execution photos are almost as spine chilling as the preserved mass grave, complete with exposed skeletons heaped on top of one another.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The darkness of the massacre reached deep through time and lives. Iris Chang, the acclaimed author who wrote <em>The Rape of Nanking<\/em>, took her own life in 2004. The museum also documents a foreign nurse who aided the Chinese during the period, and who subsequently killed herself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-7454 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/nanjing-massacre-800x600-1.jpg\" alt=\"nanjing-massacre\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">CC 2.0 \/\u00a0<em><a class=\"owner-name truncate\" title=\"Go to Cernavoda's photostream\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/98422476@N00\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-track=\"attributionNameClick\" data-rapid_p=\"34\">Cernavoda<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum &amp; the Killing Fields, Cambodia<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-3934 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/tuol-sleng-torture.jpg\" alt=\"tuol-sleng-torture\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A visit to the Tuol Sleng Genocide museum in Phnom Penh isn\u2019t for the faint of heart. This former high school was transformed into Security Prison 21 by the Khmer Rough. It\u2019s believed that as many as 20,000 people were tortured and executed on site. Today, the quiet grounds give no clue as to its grim past&#8230;until you start exploring the buildings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The former cramped makeshift prison cells are intact as are some torture equipment. Most haunting though are the photos of the deceased prisoners along with some gruesome images of torture. The entire experience is rather sobering and you\u2019ll not want to be there when it gets dark. If you can stomach some more Khmer Rouge brutality, pay your respects at at the Killing Fields (Choeung Ek; 17km south of Phnom Penh). The site of the Khmer Rouge era mass graves is intact and marked with a memorial.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Catacombs of Paris<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7451 size-medium alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/paris-catacombs-800x534-1.jpg\" alt=\"paris-catacombs\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" \/><em><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">CC 2.0 \/\u00a0<a class=\"owner-name truncate\" title=\"Go to Tom Hicks's photostream\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/speedyone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-track=\"attributionNameClick\" data-rapid_p=\"97\">Tom Hicks<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s no secret that there are ossuaries located in tunnels 20 meters below the city of Paris. These hold the remains (read bones!) of close to six million people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They were interred here in the 18<sup>th<\/sup> and 19<sup>th<\/sup> centuries as graveyards were being exhumed for health and city development reasons. If you\u2019re up for a 2km jaunt through an eerie section of wall and bone, visit the official <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catacombes.paris.fr\/en\/homepage-catacombs-official-website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Paris Catacombs<\/a> site. 200 visitors are allowed to tour a section of the catacombs daily.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apparently, there\u2019s also a subset of tunnels known as the \u201cmines\u201d of Paris. These were former limestone mining tunnels dating back to the 13<sup>th<\/sup> century and are officially off-limits. Not that this has stopped the curious (also known as cataphiles) from getting in to explore them. If you somehow manage to wander through these tunnels, you\u2019ll find skulls and bones, crumbling stones and claustrophobia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-7452 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/catacombs-paris-halloween-800x534-1.jpg\" alt=\"Paris Catacombs\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" \/><em><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">CC 2.0 \/\u00a0<a class=\"owner-name truncate\" title=\"Go to garann's photostream\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iluvrhinestones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-track=\"attributionNameClick\" data-rapid_p=\"34\">garann<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What to do in Singapore for Halloween?<\/h2>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Update: Here&#8217;s what we recommended for Halloween 2014 in Singapore.
