Changi Beach is located in Singapore. It is a popular hangout spot amongst locals for family picnics, especially on weekends and enjoy various activities such as fishing, jogging and watching the sunrise and sunset here. Despite its serene and peaceful surroundings, a grim history is associated with the beach. Changi Beach served as a popular killing ground for the Japanese during the Sook Ching massacre of The Second World War.Thousands of Chinese were tortured and killed during this Operation as they were suspected of being anti-Japanese. This spot is said to be one of the most haunted places in Asia.
By mid-February, 1942, during the Second World War, Singapore had fallen into Japanese hands. The Japanese wanted to purge out anti-Japanese residents.So, screening centers were set up all over the country and screened all Chinese suspected of carrying anti-Japanese sentiments . All suspects were rounded up at several sites for execution . Changi Beach was one of the most famous site for execution. The survivors were marched to Changi Beach, which became a POW camp for British, Chinese and Australian soldiers. There, by the thousands, these soldiers were tortured, beheaded and impaled by the Japanese. Due to the horrific crimes committed there, the beach is said to be haunted by the ghost of the executed people. Passersby often report hearing mysterious crying and screaming and bloody stains on the sand. The heads of the Chinese dead bodies are sometimes seen flying everywhere. Even headless bodies walking by the water have been sighted. More scary cases include a passerby witnessing a ghostly execution leaving blood stains, etc.
However, after the war and the Japanese surrender, Changi Beach served as an execution grounds for the culprits too. They were executed here for the war crimes they had committed . About 135 were executed, all of them at Changi. But, it can never replace the wronged deaths that occurred here and still haunts the Changi Beach.
