SUE visits the mysterious vacant Woodlands Blk 852....
-
After the tip off given in this thread about the mysterious empty block 852 of Woodlands, SUE payed the place a visit...
Upon our arrival...we were shocked to see this vacant block next to the main road...
The lift lights were on...however...both lifts were stuck at the 5th floor...and no signs of moving...
We tried the stairs...and before we could even get to the second floor...
we were blocked by this locked gate...
A view from the lift landing...every floor was covered with grilles....which normal flats do not have...
A view from the back....all closed windows...empty flats...
The RC centre situated below the block of flats was still operational...
This was the evidence...
Hmm....how could a nice block of flats situated beside the main road...
Opposite a church...
With a nice badminton court below...
And opposite a church be vacant?
Is there some reason?
SUE saw two chaps chatting below the block of flats and tried to ask if they knew the reason...sadly..they didn't....
What are your views? -
haunted?
satanic rituals? -
my uncle knows the exact reason.. he works at the URA
-

-

go outing bo jio! NOT SO GOOD LEH!
Anyway, there're many reasons for this mysterious vacant but the main reason is unknown. From wat I understand, this particular block was rent out to foreign workers a couple of yrs ago until HDB took back the leasing and seal the building up. The reason was unknown.
1. Prehap is becos of ghostly encounterment?
2. Or prehaps the building is seal up as there some architecture design problem which cost the building to be unsafe for folks to stay in?
3. Or prehaps the building is seal up so that HDB can sell the units in tat block away some time later?
The reasons are out there for ppls to guess! There another block in tat neighbourhood was once seal up after moving away the foreign worker. Now that block is occupied with folks again! -
why the need for grills? i mean, to keep people away to such an extent, there must be a strong reason behind it.Originally posted by edLow:go outing bo jio! NOT SO GOOD LEH!

like nothing leh.....not as eerie as the bedok one.....
woodlands have alotta these empty blocks mah.....rent out to foreign workers....then contract end liao all move away......
the grilles is to prevent ppl from illegally staying there or go up the block and do some illegal things like drugs, cult meetings and all tt..... (info proudly sponsored by yu fu) -
That's right. The block isn't haunted. LOADS OF RUBBISH! Then tell me why the hell an RC is still operational at the void deck. You mean the 'ghosts' purposely left them alone?
647KM² (a Malay variety programme similar to Hey! Singapore) once aired an episode about vacant or near-vacant blocks all over Singapore. These blocks are left vacant because of a reason NOT related to supernatural. And like what most of the people here have responded, the blocks are mainly rented out to foreigners on a contract basis.
Here's another tip-off. Block 164, Marsiling MRT. This 4-storey HDB block was left vacant a couple of years ago. This block is situated just beside an MRT station. And no, it's not haunted.
Cheers and warm regards -
yeah lor...never jio..........

the reason for the grilles is that 2 prevent illiegal immigrants or people from misuing the building like a plce 2 take drugs etc....Originally posted by MooKu:why the need for grills? i mean, to keep people away to such an extent, there must be a strong reason behind it. -
