Among them is one notable spirit: the Philippines’ national hero, Jose Rizal, who was imprisoned at Fort Santiago before his execution in Bagumbayan (Rizal Park). It is said that the hero’s ghost lingers here, with some claiming that they’ve seen his apparition or heard his voice.

It stands neglected next to the Cultural Center of the Philippines, but in 1981, Manila Film Center was a visionary project of then First Lady Imelda Marcos. Touted as the home of an international film fest that could vie with Cannes.

Tragedy struck in the dawn of November 17, 1981, when collapsed scaffolding brought a surge of wet cement down onto more than a hundred workers. It is said that some bodies were left inhumed in the cement as construction was quickly resumed. That sealed the curse that would hang over Manila Film Center for years to come. A series of unfortunate events befell anyone who associated with the place such as The Amazing Philippines Theater that saw a mysterious murder and fire accident during their lease. Ghosts of the workers are said to still haunt the place.

The White House village was branded as the most haunted place in the Philippines by the Davao Paranormal Society (DPS) after a paranormal investigation was conducted in the said mansion. The DPS claims that there are “active spirits” of both Filipino and foreign nationalities residing in the mansion. The mansion’s caretaker also attests to the presence of a white lady and a man dragging a ball and chain in the area.

The San Juanico Bridge is one of the longest bridges in the Philippines that connects the islands of Leyte and Samar. However, behind its glorious structure is a dark urban legend. It is believed that in order for the bridge to be built successfully, children were kidnapped and used as ritual offerings. Their throats were said to be slit mercilessly and their blood was then mixed with the cement that was used for building the bridge. Today, some people who drive by the bridge late at night have sworn to have seen these children who were victims of cruel torture, playing along the rails with some even begging for help.

Tragic. That word best describes the history of The Ruins in Talisay City, Negros Occidental. The Ruins tells the story of Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson who loved his wife, Maria Braga Lacson, so much that he built a mansion dedicated to her after she died during the birth of their 11th child. At the time of the Japanese Occupation, the mansion was purposely set on fire to prevent the Japanese troops from using it as their headquarters.

What should have been a symbol of everlasting love has then burned. Local lore says that there is a ghost that still roams the mansion guarding it from beyond the grave. The sightings have been of a lady all dressed in white, believed to be none other than Don Mariano’s wife, Maria.
