never before..but now I do.

[torque2006]

i'm one of those who can see hear and feel, but as much as possible i didn't talk to them. i'm just scared shitless whenever they try to talk to me. i swore back in 2nd year highschool that i don't want to see them again, and for 3 years i never saw one. but it came back.

i got tons of experiences but here are some of the memorable ones:

when i was a kid:
1. my mom told me a few years back that when I was 6, we went biking in CCP, and i got lost for about an hour. when they saw me, they told me I was crying and telling them that people where shouting help and there were banging hammers in the tall building.

2. teacher's camp: there was an old lady in very western clothing at the foot of my bed. there was a screaming filipino in tribal attire running around three houses a stone's throw away from our house. and the shower keeps turning on and off at night.

and a lot more...

experiences in college:
1. chapel of my university. i was a froshie back then and it was 6:15AM, i was really really early because it was my first accounting finals exam. there was only two of us in the chapel, a girl on the back pew and me, in the middle.

i was praying really really hard when all of a sudden i heard foreign voices shouting, and filipino voices screaming. there were swishing and stabbing and gunshots and a male voice whispered to me "tulungan mo ako". I wanted to but I can't open my eyes. When I did, i was all alone in the chapel. I prayed for them.

turns out a massacre happened there back in japanese times. I asked a few alumni, and they told me there was even a time when the organ inside played on its own during a homecoming when the massacre part was being shown on the university history avp.

2. I was in the my course's faculty dept. I was doing research part time for a professor. It was 1pm, and all of the professors left for their classes. The secretary left early for a doctor's appointment, so I'm alone. The lights flickered, then the radio turned on, classical music was playing. Then a Christian Brother came in and sat on the secretary's chair looking busy with an pen in hand scribbling something. But the thing is, his hand was half buried on the table. I can see only upper half of the pen.

All of a sudden a student burst into the door, asking if mr. professor was in. the spirit disappeared. She then told me why I was crying. I didn't realize tears where falling from my eyes. I just stood up, walked to the desk, turned off the radio and told the girl (whom i knew) that i was thankful I just passed another hard test.

3. the student services building. there's this "guy" who always walks up and down three floors at the stairs at the back. if he's not there he's in one of the offices on the top floor.

4. a young woman with a bloody face on the steps of the museum.

now:
1. we have two "friends" in the office. one is a very thin young guy with no upper clothing. the other is a young teenage girl.

and oh, since I was a kid, i always see these pretty lass around the house. sometimes at the garden walking, or in the kitchen playing with the cutlery. I was 12 then, and the freakiest time was when I was alone in the house and she actually sat beside me while i was watching discovery channel (bout 3pm). I just told her not to do that again because I'm scared when she's that near. She at least obliged and stood up but She opened her mouth and was about to say something when I screamed. I'm just scared **** when they do that, I don't want to hear from them. She then disappeared.

up until now I see her. sometimes she smiles, at other times she looks like a hag. she's chinita, but her clothes are sort of old school, i can't place what decade it came.

last year, I was using the common PC for a side-project (events), it was 2AM, suddenly a rush of sweet smelling flowers came to the room, and there she was, but she looked really angry, and I was scared shitless again. I ran to my brother's room and there i stayed until 6am.

come breakfast, i told my mom about the girl I keep seeing. She just smiled at me. I think my mom sees her too...

Ako I've never seen nor experienced any, but here are some close calls.

It was 2000 or 2001 back in UST when we had to do a project for a class so we were grouped and our assignment was to go to the province and interview a mayor for some things. We went to Zambales where my friend and their family lived. They had their own house but we stayed at her lola's house nearby dahil may extra rooms yon. It was raining hard and we were driving home, kwentuhan kami about ghost stories. She said her lolo passed away already but didn't mention anything else. So when we got home, I freshened up and went upstairs to sleep. Supposedly boys sa isang room (dalawa kami) and girls sa isang room (apat sila) but it was raining hard and there was a large leak sa room so we had to move to the girls' room. Tabi tabi kami doon when we all slept. My friend woke me up at 5am after the alarm of her cell phone went off. Brown out din, so the phone was really low on battery. Since it was low on battery di namin magamit yon as a "light" so we went downstairs feeling the steps each time. Pagdating namin sa baba we went to the kitchen (there were candles lit) to get candles and get light for our room. Wala kami nakita, so we walked to the sala, and to our surprise may nakita kaming figure sa sahig right in front of us. Nakatalikod, nakasquat sa floor. Katulong pala nila nagtatanggal ng wax sa sahig! Bwiset natawa ako dun pero na shock din at first. So sabi namin sige fine yun lang pala. Pag akyat namin ng stairs I went ahead to light the way, it was steep kaya ingat kami. My friend walked behind me. When we were already upstairs, she said she felt somebody following us. She looked back but saw nobody. Na-feel lang niya. Sabi ko baka yung ulan lang was making noises. Then my friend cut in our conversation, sabi niya habang naliligo siya the night before, he felt something dragging on the wooden floor, right in front of the bathroom. It was then that my friend confessed her lolo passed away but he makes his presence known. Siguro nakita niya may bisita.

The other time was when I was a kid. Do you remember those jalousy (spelling?) glass panes/windows often used sa old houses? We had those before like one way glass windows. It was broad day light and I was playing with my toys. Out of boredom I looked up, and saw a figure sa bintana. Dark, humanoid (shoulders up lang) and moving sideways. Sabi ko sa sarili ko sino kaya yung nasa labas? My lola was inside the house pero alam ko katulong namin was in the backyard, and I was looking at the garden beside the house (linking the front and backyards). Since sarado yung isang bintana kung saan ako tumitingin, I followed the figure to the left where it was going. Pagdating sa open window, nothing!. I ran forward to check (bata pa, inosente, walang alam, will do anything, etc...) and nobody was there...

The other one is something I get often. Do you get the feeling na something just moved but you haven't seen it, yet you know something moved and you had this feeling behind your ears (maybe this part is just me) like you're contracting the muscles and pulling your ears back tapos wide open mata mo and preparing to fight or flight (panic response)? I often have this. One time there was this tube nakatukod sa pader namin. It was quite long and flimsy, and I was passing by to go out of the room. All of a sudden I felt that same feeling I just mentioned, and true enough, the tube fell on the floor since the floor was slippery (ceramic tile) and the tube was at an angle na malapit na mahulog.

I don't believe in ghosts myself, but there were times when I was a kid and I dreamt that I was falling. As in falling from a high place (the first dream I remember like this was when I was at home tapos I fell from the ceiling daw down to the floor). When I woke up, I literally moved a foot towards the foot of my bed. I don't know how I moved that way, but it has happened to me a few times. Also, when I get the flu, I dream of these huge, large spheres falling over me and I cannot lift them up. They feel so heavy and I just wake up exhausted. My dad also told me he had the same dreams too!! Exactly the same spheres, falling on him, and he had a hard time lifting them up. A few times (ok, a lot) I also dream of going back to this same dream. Once I was dreaming of being in a large swimming pool, maybe the size of a lake! Kakaaliw na nakakaloka at the same time dahil it's very blue, blue tiles, and I think it's in the shape of a cross (+) or a T. Always when I go back to that dream, it's just that, being in that huge pool. Sometimes naman in a very large (river-like) olympic type pool with lanes. Or sometimes I go back to a dream that I can jump so high and sort of fly or hover in the air, and travel great distances that way. I always go back to it after the first dream and I liked it. I read somewhere that there is a way to recall the dream (keep recalling it until you fall asleep again). Is this true?

The last experience I had was the other night. I dreamt I was back in our home sa Fairview before the house was renovated. This time I was with my wife, and we were supposed to stay in my room (which is weird, because I never had my own room before the house was renovated -- I had it after). Then here's the funny part, minumulto daw kami ng wife ko. Kunyari we were going to sleep na in bed tapos magpapakita itong multo. So we move to another room maybe it's just the room daw. Same thing, hinahabol kami. I think what I did in the dream was to chase away the ghost, di ko alam paano pero that's what I recall doing hehe.

I read this thread from the last page to the beginning (and skipped the theological parts). I read each story, and mind you, it's 2:16AM right now here in Anaheim. May friend ako who's in UST Medicine (doctor na siya) and they had a patient who just died. Somebody took a picture (camera phone) at the time of death, and guess what? The image of the person who died appeared on the phone, looking straight into the camera. I don't have a copy, but she showed the pic to me. I keep telling her gusto ko makakita ng multo (reading those stories make me curious). I also want to get shocked, as in shocked, that way I will feel alive yung ganun ba? We actually went to the Queen Mary with my classmate (my classmate was her brother, so we were all together with another classmate of mine in high school). We went to the Queen Mary in Long Beach, and read all sorts of stuff about ghosts. Of course, I didn't see anything. Maybe we didn't go to the really haunted parts of the ship (it was a Halloween promo thingie) so I can't really say for sure. I mean nag college ako sa UST, went in the Main Bldg a lot of times for several classes even some that are hanggang 6pm (I know, not late enough) but nothing. I went to Ateneo in elementary and the "Grade 1 slide" area was known to be haunted daw. All I saw was a red point of light, but that was really sketchy dahil malay mo beacon lang yon dahil we were far from the play ground mismo (it was gated and locked). I remember the "ghost hunting" nights in elementary pero like I said, of course, nothing...in fact we just threw stones sa mga ibang nag ghost hunting to scare them off hehehe...

It was school year 1980, was in Kinder 1 at Letran de Manila. On the opposite ends of the hallway of the elementary building were the comfort rooms; the far right was for the boys. This building was really old and the CRs have not been renovated since the time of Christ.

Recess time, me and my friend went to jingle when we were approached by a woman with her black hair down to her buttocks in a really white dress, lips pale but smiling. Being the innocent ones, we simply approached her and said "morning po". She smiled even wider and touched us both on the cheek which felt really cold! She passed us going out to the dark hallway in floating fashion.

After our jingle we went back to our classroom and started talking about out "visitor". Our homeroom teacher, Mrs. Aguila, overheard us and asked who were we talking about. We described her after which she gave out this face and ran to the principal's office crying "Mare, mare! Nagpakita naman!!", all to our amazement. It was only then when it was explained to us by our principal what a "White Lady" was. They said that this ghost frequented the halls of the old building.

At that time we didn't get scared of the stories, maybe because the "lady" was smiling, very kind and never spoke a word. My friend even told our adviser not to be silly because she merely touched out cheeks, which really freaked her out .

But I'm pretty sure that if I see that lady again in this day and age I'd freak out even more hehehe. Marami daw talagang ghosts dyan sa Letran, lalo na sa bandang elevator ng mga pari.
