Yes, this is known to happen. Jehovah's Witnesses know that if they reject the teachings of the 'truth', they are to be shunned by the congregation. Since Witnesses are discouraged from forming friendships outside the congregation, the practice of shunning can be traumatic, leaving the person without social contacts. Thus, many prefer to keep to themselves the fact that they no longer believe the teachings of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, and continue to attend meetings, without really believing.

Is it possible that some people in the kingdomhall could be secretly apostate?

I assume that you are referring to the Jehovah's Witnesses since you used the term Kingdom Hall. The answer to your question is, "Yes, it is possible for people to be apostate yet still show up and participate in the activities at the Kingdom Hall." In my own personal experience, I have known several young people who attended with their parents until the time when they left home. Upon leaving home for school, work, etc., they were no longer active in the Jehovah's Witnesses denomination. Using the definition of the group, they would have been apostate because they did not believe or really practice the teachings of the Watchtower, they simply showed up to services with their parents. To give you answer from the Bible, you could reference Psalm 14.1 which says: The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good. Notice that the person here says these things in their heart. They don't necessarily speak them out loud. The same can be true with a person in any group. They may secretly not believe in God at all.
