Spook Factor (part 1)...

In the spirit of Halloween, even if I’m late, let me share some ghost stories. This was sent to me a couple of years ago but some stories just makes me shiver…

baka may makitang gremlin…
harharhar…


DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY

An engineering professor (my 'strength of materials' teacher) was on his way home around 9pm. since he parks his car near Mc Do, he passes the main gate every night (at the La Salle Hall). Upon passing aristocrat canteen, he saw a well-dressed boy (all white) along the corridor, walking towards him. He was about to ignore the kid but to his surprise, the young boy stopped in front of him and asked him where the chapel was. The Prof told the kid how to get to the chapel, and then the kid went straight to the stairs. The Prof shouted and asked the kid why he was going to the chapel at 9pm. the boy answered, "I’m going to the wake". The Prof went on towards the main gate. Then he realized, for the 7 years that he has been with La Salle, he never heard of a wake being held at the chapel. The Prof asked the guard if there really is a wake. Of course, the guard said no. The Prof asked if the chapel is still open, the guard said no. The Prof asked why they allowed a small boy to enter the campus. The guard said they didn't let any kid enter the campus. in fact, the guards have been at the gate since 7pm, and they never saw a kid within the premises. The Prof told the guard what he saw, and requested if the guard can go with him to check out what's happening at the chapel. So the Prof and the guard went to the chapel. While they were just at the stairs, they can already hear some noise. It seemed that there are lots of people in the chapel. Upon reaching the 2nd floor of the La Salle hall, they were so surprised to see that there really is a wake being held at the chapel, and there are lots of people, mostly women and children ... the Prof and the guard went inside.... straight to the coffin ... and to my Prof's surprise... the boy who approached him at the corridor was the one inside the coffin...


ADAMSON UNIVERSITY

A girl was by the sink washing her face when she looked in the mirror, and saw the drops of water on her face not as what they really are but as drop of blood. And at her back, there was a headless man in soldier's uniform. Every year, students would encounter various but similarly scary experiences in that toilet. According to my research, the St. Vincent de Paul building, where the toilet is, is the oldest building of Adamson University and was used as an execution station by the Japanese army during World War II. Rumor has it that countless number of heads had been chopped off in the toilet itself.


COLLEGE OF SAINT BENILDE

It happened few years ago in College of Saint Benilde. In an early morning class, a girl in black dress entered room M-409 where a class was ongoing. He class didn't mind the girl thinking that she was only sitting in. Suddenly, in the middle of the teacher's lecture, the girl stood up, walked towards the front wall and, to the awe of everyone, vanished. Until now that ghost story still scares students who take classes in the said room.


DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY

One day last February, even before the 7am classes started, a young Accounting sophomore decided to drop by the St. La Salle Chapel to say a quick prayer for her accounting exam. She reached the empty chapel, went to the very first pew, knelt down, and with eyes shut, began to pray. A few minutes later, she heard a shuffling sound and frantic footsteps. The student opened her eyes and saw a limping, pale-faced man reaching out towards her, his torn clothes covered in blood, a bayonet sticking in his chest and mouthing the words, "Help me..."
Note: DLSU Main building was used as a bomb shelter during World War II


FEATI UNIVERSITY

At 10 pm one night, one ROTC cadet was relieving himself in one of the comfort rooms at the third floor of the Paterno building when he unmistakably made out the figure of a woman dressed in white floating in the air. The vision made him scream in intense fright, catching the attention of his other companions. Upon their arrival, they witnessed the same lady hovering in the air. It was seven in the evening at another instance, when a janitor getting ready to go home noticed a mysterious lady enter one of the restrooms at the third floor. He followed the lady to warn her that the part of building was strictly prohibited. He entered the restroom and saw no one there. According to stories, the Paterno Building, which had existed even before the eruption of World War II, was used as a garrison by the Japanese during the war.


POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

"She was once there and she never left," according to one housekeeper of PUP Jasmin hostel, reluctant to tell the exact room number of the so-called "haunted room." Residents of the hostel reveal that every time they pass by the corridor during late afternoon and early in the morning, they could hear murmurs and cries coming from the haunted room. Stories say that a female nursing board examinee committed suicide inside the room. Many have had experiences seeing her walking in her nursing uniform at the middle of the night or appearing in bathroom mirrors-with blood on her face. She also loves to knock on the door and if one opens, he would find no one but sense an eerie feeling. Residents believe that once you open the door, she comes in the room, so they advise not to open the door.


ST. PAUL COLLEGE - Q.C.

You will be shocked to know that there are no mirrors in some of the comfort rooms in the campus. It is for the reason that an anonymous lady appears in the mirror unexpectedly and really scares the students. It has been said that one student committed suicide in that comfort room.


ST. SCHOLASTICA'S COLLEGE

A group of high school girls had a play in the Little Theater. They took shots of them and when the film was developed, a nun was with them during curtain call. The nun had no face, floating, tiptoed, and her hands were clasped as though in prayer. Her hands were pointed downwards and her head was cracked as though she had been hanged!
