My family and I experienced strange things when we stayed in baguio. I also think that something followed us home.

At home, my younger sister, older cousin, and I slept in 1 room and at the bottom of the double deck because we got scared about the stories my fam experienced in baguio.
In the middle of the night, I woke up to the sound of me crying. I got confused because I didn't know I was crying and I even touched my face to feel tears.  I also heard a door loudly slamming inside the room. So, I opened my eyes and saw that our CR door slamming open and closed by itself. What's strange is that the light inside was color red even tho we don't have that kind of light. During that time that I was awake, everything around me is getting closer especially the door to our bathroom. At some point, I slept again.

2nd time I woke up, I looked around the room and the bathroom was still opening by itself and closing loudly, as well as the red light. I tried waking up my cousin if she can see it but she just got angry but didn't wake up. Then I just slept again.

3rd time I woke up, the bathroom door wasn't banging anymore but the lights was still red and the door was ajar. I stood up and went straight to the bathroom door. Before I reached to close it, I suddenly had a thought "what if something suddenly grabs me inside the CR". So I decided not to close the door. While walking back to the bed, I passed by our bed and felt something different and I even moved my hand in the empty space. (also there is a dim light in the room to lighten where we stayed). I went back to sleep. 4th time, I woke up again and saw that the red light was gone and the bathroom door was open. Somehow everything felt okay in the room that's why I closed the bathroom door closed and went back to sleep.

That happened maybe in 2015 and I retold my experience with my family in 2017 when we were telling ghost stories. After telling my experience that night, my cousin confessed that she was already awake when I woke her up that night but pretended to sleep. What she told me scared me and curious to what happened to us that night. She told me that she woke up and got frightened that night because she saw a figure of a man at the foot of our bed staring at us with red eyes. She also shared that after that experience she saw a post in UST files about a person and his/her family shared the same experience but the difference was that person's story experienced having woken up at night and seeing everything in the room was red and her family members were crying and couldn't move. They also saw the figure with red eyes looking at them at the foot of their bed. I think they endured that for over maybe an hour and it disappeared.

I grew up inside a home that was inhibited by shadow people. They often watched Disney channel with me at 11 pm. They also walked freely inside our home, you'll see them walking, running, entering doors. This GIF. It was always like that, every afternoon at around 2-4pm

We kinda got used to it. Their presence was so distinct?? that we'll instantly know that they're there. No harm done.

We left that place now. I sometimes still wonder if they still lurked those walls.

As I grew older, my dreams and experiences are becoming weirder. I experienced suddenly waking up to seeing something in front of me and from spirits whispering to me.

Back in 2017, we moved in this old house in a village. There were many paranormal experiences that some of my skeptic fam members experienced first hand. We decided to move out of the house and got a memory I'll never forget.

I woke up from a weird dream I had. I saw that it was early in the morning. I looked around my room and saw my sister and parents were with me sleeping. I laid down on the foot of the bed, so when I saw that there was someone leaning back on my headboard and sitting on my bed. It didn't register to me at first until we looked at each other for more than a minute. At first, I got alarmed because I thought there was a real person in the room and panicked for the safety of my family.

It looked like a person. But he looked strange. His skin color was black, hair was frizzy and mangled, and his built was thin. His distinguishing feature from not being human was his eyes. It looked like ours but his iris was smaller compared to ours like a tiny dot and surrounding his eyes were dominantly white.

It's a good thing I had a scapular and sat up and pushed it in front of the thing. When I sat up, he crawled closer to me but I still pushed it in front of him. Although, I couldn't really touch his face bc my hand stopped in front of it. It was surreal when our faces were so close to each other and he was just looking at me and observing me. I prayed the Nicene creed but got frustrated when I couldn't complete it 3x, so I prayed my own prayer.

He didn't get scared or anything but he was just looking at me. At some point, I laid down again and went back to sleep. While sleeping, I thought maybe it wasn't real but when I opened my eyes he wasn't there anymore. Although, when I looked to my right. He was there about to climb out of the window with his back to me. I just stared until he looked back and stared at me. Then he disappeared and I went back to sleep.

I don't like being woken up feeling someone staring at you in the middle of the night.

Waking up in the middle of the afternoon to hear a woman's voice asking them to not let them leave. Also, being disturbed in the middle of the night a voice of a man telling you something at 3 am in the morning when you're alone in the basement.

Waking up to seeing other beings in front or a tall man in white wearing a long gown watching you in a corner.

Doing homework in an ungodly hour just to hear things slamming and feeling the thick coldness in the room.

Tell me. Do you also share the same experience?

I can't recall any personal supernatural experience but I think this is the closest thing I got to encountering a real one.

This happened way back 8th grade. For context, yung school ko na to kung saan nangyari to super luma na talaga. One of the oldest all-girls school in the PH (pero co-ed na siya ngayon and sa Manila siya so hulaan niyo na lang).

Laking service kiddo ako tapos first trip sa umaga kaya lagi akong maagang pumapasok (as in ako pinakauna sa section namin). It's for this reason kaya ako naging classroom key holder namin. Madalas tatambay lang ako sa school canteen namin para uminom ng hot chocolate o kaya aakyat na ako agad sa classroom namin since nasa akin yung susi.

FF on the day of the incident. I was with a friend from another section, though nasa iisang corridor lang yung classrooms namin. May mga kumakalat na before na mga kwento sa area na to ng school namin, lalo na yung girls' CR. Pagkaakyat mo sa second floor, nasa left side yung papasok ng girls' CR tapos sa kanan yung corridor where the classrooms are.

Nagdadaldalan lang kami ng friend ko na yun habang tambay sa corridor like how we usually do in a typical day. Maya-maya, nagtanong siya kung may tao na raw ba doon sa isa pang section. Yung classroom ng section na yun nasa bandang dulo siya pero yung pag nakatayo ka sa corridor, nakaharap yung pinto (yung sections namin ng tropa ko nasa gilid yung pinto ganun). Tapos lahat ng pinto may maliit na square window kaya pwede kang sumilip. Back to my friend, ayun nga nagtanong siya if may tao na daw ba doon. Sabi ko wala pa, as far as I know.

Sabi niya (non-verbatim), "Huh? Eh sino yung nakita ko doon sa may bintana sa pinto?"

Siyempre, ako na araw-araw pumapasok pero walang nae-encounter na kababalaghan, I didn't assume anything weird. Aware akong nakakakita yung friend ko na yun pero akala ko nagjojoke lang siya. But this time though, she kept insisting na meron daw talaga siyang nakitang babae na nakatayo tas nahaharangan ng buhok yung mukha.

Of course, the only way to confirm this is to go towards the door ng classroom na yun and see for myself. My friend is obviously terrified kaya ako na yung naglakas-loob na pumunta at sumilip. I admit na medyo natakot din ako and I was mentally preparing myself for what I'm about to see. To my surprise (and relief), wala akong nakitang tao or babae. However, my friend is still spooked out, insisting na nakita daw niya clearly na may babae doon. Nung medyo dumadami na yung mga estudyanteng pumapasok sa ibang classrooms, wala na kaming napansin na weird or what.

Up until now, I'm still wondering kung ano yung nakita na yun ng friend ko.

Year 2016 when this picture was taken. I was around our school garden, the sunlight was pretty so I decided to take a selfie. Not knowing someone wants to join in. I didn't notice it, my friend was the one who pointed that it looks like there's someone behind me.

I got scared ofcourse, i felt a weird sensation around my body. It was cold and feels like someone's beside me. When we got back to our classroom, my friends showed my picture to our adviser and she said that, there was once a college girl who used to live there since she was a working student and not from our place so she was staying inside our school, until 2 janitors raped her and found her dead at our school garden.

So when i heard that story, i was so afraid that i couldn't sleep that night. There was a heavy feeling in my back, the feeling of carrying someone. So the next day come, I wasn't myself, i don't have any energy at all. My mom noticed it, she keeps on asking me what happened. I only respond "i dont know". And then when i got to school, i felt my back was about to break because it was so heavy. I got scared so i went to our chapel and prayed, while i was prayer I didn't realize i was crying so hard, so hard as if someone died. But the weird thing is I didn't feel any sadness or pain or tiredness of after crying. I remember i kept saying "help me, Lord". So i went to my adviser, and i told her i need help. I keep insisting her that i need help. If i may be honest i really dont know why I am asking for help. She brought me to the guidance office, and the principal talked to me, asking what happened. In my mind i know there's nothing wrong, just my back being so heavy and painful. However, my body started to fall and i started to cry. I fainted, it was so cold i feel like i was in a dark room that is so cold and quiet.

But when i woke up, 5 nuns was already around me, 2 male teachers was holding me, everyone was crying, everyone around me was praying. I was so confused that I started to cry. Because i was so scared i dont know what's happening. All i can remember, after i woke up i was okay i feel light but its so weird that there was a lot of people around me and there are a lot of scratches and bruises around my arms and legs. Which is weird with that amount of time i felt it was 30mins only, but when i asked the time it has been 4hrs since i fainted. I saw my teacher's nose bleeding because of me daw because i was STRONG? me? Like what? I was so scared, I couldn't believe everything they say. Until our principal, showed a video tape of me shouting, as if i was "possessed", the voice we can hear in the tape was different from my voice, it kept on shouting "help" but with a different voice. I was so scared because i don't understand. They told me the moment the priest came, it ended with full of shouting, "pagwawala". And a lot of prayers and holy water. It was hella scary knowing all i know is i fainted and i felt that i was only in a cold quiet dark room.

After that, i was absent for 1 week. We decided to seek a psychologist but my results was okay, there was nothing wrong. And I attended a lot of prayer meetings, met a lot of priests, wore a lot of church bracelets, necklace for "protection" they say.

And after 1 week, when i got back to school. There was a incident same with me but with a grade 4 student and a grade 8. The school decided to suspend classes that week, they decided to blessed the school again and have a meeting about the incident. They kept it confidential, knowing I don't want everyone to be scared of me. Limited students only know what happened to me. And after that, i never took photo in my school again.

So be careful taking selfies, you'll never know who wants to join.
