No.10 - The Gift
I have a story to tell about my grand uncle from my mother's side. He lived in Gordon Heights in Olongapo and died eighteen years ago from an unknown illness that not even doctors were able to diagnose. But his life was full of adventure and mystery that's worth retelling and I'm simply recalling from memory what I remembered about him based on what he told me when I asked him some questions that bothered me and a lot of our relatives who had been witness to the supernatural occurrences that happened around him.
According to his own account, he was ...
No.9 - Legend Of Pineapple Fruit
There was a pretty little girl called Pina who was pampered by her mother as an only child. Everything that Pina asked for, Pina got. Everything that Pina scoffed at was taken away. No one in her village was ever so spoiled as Pina. No one was ever such a snobbish child. She was so lazy, and she had never stirred a finger to work in her life.
Pina’s mother was perfectly happy that way, for Pina remained dependent on her as a spoiled child. But one day, Pina’s mother fell ill and there was no one to take care of ...
No.8 - Filipino Countryside Stories
I have some Filipino stories to share. They’re not exactly stories of ghosts but of supernatural creatures that live in the remote jungles and forested countrysides of the Islands.
Let me recount a few …
First there is the story of a type of being that looks human, but whose upper body can detach from the trunk, and fly off to find its food. What does it look for? Human babies or a pregnant woman carrying a child… the stories are not clear on this. It can kill a child or cause a miscarriage because it feeds on the baby’s chi.
The Chinese ...
No.7 - A True Story
I come from Philippines. This is a true story that happened to a friend of mine when I was in college back in 1984. We lived in a men's dormitory called Coop Housing which is about three kilometers off but inside the UPLB campus. The residents walk to and from their classes because there's no transportation that goes to the dorm. It was built beside a hill and not very far away one can see the enchanting Mt. Makiling.
One day while walking back to the dorm, my friend Jhun Banaay crossed paths with a very beautiful girl who's carrying some ...
No.6 - My Haunted House
Hi I come from Philippines and I have many stories to tell. To start with ,I was never one who believed in ghosts in the past.

By the way, my house used to be a very old house and it's been said that entities also live here by some people. Ghosts or dwende*, and my cousin even told me ...
No.5 - A Mysterious Person
I come from Batangas City in the Philippines and am nearing my 40th birthday and throughout my life I have had several experiences, some not as scary as others. There are many widespread haunted stories in this country and I have been witness to some strange and unexplainable things. One such event happened while spending the night at my friends house. We were 11-years-old at the time. We had been told countless numbers of times by her parents to quiet down and go to bed. When Becky and I finally were able to get into bed, her on a top ...
No.4 - Story From Philippines
I come from Philippines and my province has an area call the Brookside/Valley Border. I don't know what some other guys call this little hill but Valley Viewers call it Bulok na Tanke Kasi diba, on top of this hill is this old, rusty, torn up water tank with a lot of pornografitti on it.
On that hill is also a Mango grove. They already built a concrete wall between Valley View and Brookside (it sucks, I remember how my friends and I just come and go as we please back in the good old days). But anyway, here's what ...

I was was posted to work in the Philippines in the early 90s. I still cannot say I believe in ghosts, but duing my stay there I had an experience that I cannot explain.
