The Dead Road
Construction Projects 501 and 503: the Salekhard–Igarka railway, driven across the polar tundra by prison labour between 1947 and 1953. After Stalin's death the work was abandoned in a single day. Some seven hundred kilometres of track remain in the tundra, along with locomotives, bridges and camp compounds with their watchtowers and barracks — all still standing, because removing it would have cost more than leaving it. It is called the dead road not for its ghosts: it leads nowhere and never did.
Old Changi Hospital
Ein verlassenes Krankenhaus in Singapur, während der japanischen Besatzung als Gefängnis und Verhörstätte genutzt. Um seine leeren Säle und Gänge ranken sich seit Langem Geschichten von Stimmen und Schatten — einer der bekanntesten Spukorte Asiens.
