A father waiting for his son's dental appointment at the carpark
of Alexandra Hospital captured this photo of a window. It appears
to contain ghostly images, seemingly of British troopers killed
there during WW2.
He took the photo after observing a lamppost near the window
blinking continuously with a greenish light.
The father, David, reported the incident to the
Singapore Paranormal Investigators (SPI), who, through close
analysis, discovered that the photo might contain images of two
British soldiers who were apparently killed by Japanese troops
there.
The bloody incident occurred on Feb 14 1942, and was later called
the Alexandra Hospital Massacre.
On that day, Japanese soldiers had approached the hospital and
killed a lieutenant bearing a white flag with a bayonet
thrust.
A number of patients and staff were also killed. The next day,
about 200 male staff members and patients bound the previous day
were ordered to walk 400 metres to an industrial area. Anyone who
fell along the way was bayoneted by the soldiers.
They were forced into very small rooms without water and some died
as a result. Many were bayoneted the next day, and in all only five
survived the ordeal.
SPI also discovered that their informant, David, had a special
'gift'.
David told them:
"To be honest, my sixth-sense is very strong.
"Even before I saw the lamp post blink, I'd already sensed that
someone was watching me at that particular window, and that urged
me to take the photo.
"I've practiced 'mao shan shu' since I was young and my son also
has the 'third-eye'.
"That was about 25 years ago, when I joined a Taoist Mao Shan
sect.
"My master was very reluctant initially but gave in at last as he
couldn't go against the heaven's will. He passed away peacefully
exactly 108 days after accepting me as his last disciple as he had
predicted himself earlier.
"From that point on, I practised my special power and was actively
involved in temple activities. Exorcism and spiritual healing are
what I offered in charity to the needy."
