The Black Parade


The Unknown & Definitely Not For The Faint Hearted


Before you see the ghost pic,there are things you should know about the place that i took the pic.

Here it is-

The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is a museum in Phnom Penh,Cambodia. The site is a former high school which was used as the Security Prison 21 (S-21) by the Khmer Rouge regime from its rise to power in 1975 to its fall in 1979.

The torture system at Tuol Sleng was designed to make prisoners confess to whatever crimes their captors charged them with. Prisoners were tortured with electric shocks, searing hot metal instruments and hanging, as well as through the use of various other devices.Out of an estimated 17,000 people imprisoned at Tuol Sleng, there were only seven known survivors.

When prisoners were first brought to Tuol Sleng, they were made aware of ten rules that they were to follow during their incarceration:-

1. You must answer accordingly to my question. Don’t turn them away.
2. Don’t try to hide the facts by making pretexts this and that, you are strictly prohibited to contest me.
3. Don’t be a fool for you are a chap who dare to thwart the revolution.
4. You must immediately answer my questions without wasting time to reflect.
5. Don’t tell me either about your immoralities or the essence of the revolution.
6. While getting lashes or electrification you must not cry at all.
7. Do nothing, sit still and wait for my orders. If there is no order, keep quiet. When I ask you to do something, you must do it right away without protesting.
8. Don’t make pretext about Kampuchea Krom in order to hide your secret or traitor.
9. If you don’t follow all the above rules, you shall get many many lashes of electric wire.
10. If you disobey any point of my regulations you shall get either ten lashes or five shocks of electric discharge.

Even though the vast majority of the victims were Cambodian, foreigners were also imprisoned, including Vietnamese, Laotians, Indians, Pakistanis, British, Americans, New Zealanders and Australians.

i went down to Tuol Sleng museum with Marlia on our second day in Phnom Penh,riding on a motodop,we were joking and laughing happily on our way there,but once we stepped inside the notorious school turned torture centre,we weren't laughing anymore.it got this strange spooky feeling in every room,every level,every nook and cranny.

There were not many people,as probably most have left since we got there around 3pm.So in most places that we went within Tuol Sleng,besides the video room,we were all alone.

so,if you are ready to view,plz click here.
