Ghost Stories and Strange Tales


Is the belief in witchcraft true only in the Philippines? Does the practice of witchcraft continue to exist in modern times? The answer to the first question is NO. Hindi lang ang Pinoy ang takot sa aswang at ang taglay nitong kapangyarihan. The fear of witches and their evil powers goes far back in time. Remember the notorious Salem witchcraft trials in America? Have you ever heard of the term “witches” Sabbath? Certainly there was great fear of witches in Europe, Africa, South America and elsewhere and this fear dates back to Biblical days.

KAPRE

K  A P R E mimi illenberger mapa While doing research for his dissertation on folk healing, a former teacher stumbled on several  strange tales involving supernatural beings, prompting him to suggest to his peers in graduate school that perhaps the university  “should look into the feasibility of offering courses in parapsychology so that students will  have enlightened information on phenomena which science  is still hesitant to certify as worthy of investigation.” This particular tale I wish to share with my readers today  began in a university campus more than a decade ago and simply refused to die down. As the years rolled by , the stories involving the creature  even became more scary as more people came forward  to add their own experience to it; the teacher felt the case was indeed worthy of investigation. This is the story of a kapre ( the name used in  Philippine folk lore for the  mythical tree-sitting demon)  who inhabited a school building down south. Right sm

THE GHOSTS IN ARLEGUI MANSION

In the course of my long career as a regular ghost story writer ( Ghost Stories & Strange Tales) in the country’s leading weekly magazines (Women’s Journal, Woman Today and Astroscope) , I  discovered for myself  that one good, reliable  source of ghost stories and strange tales are the people who have lived in  Malacanang Palace – the presidential family, their staff,  the security guards and even  their occasional guests.  As somebody said, at day time, the palace is the country’s seat of power but once the lights are turned off at night, it is just another haunted house. Manuel Quezon, III – grandson of President Quezon – has this interesting observation “ I grew up with these stories, not from family but from old folks who’d worked there and who believed these tales.  Lots of people got spooked in Malacanang Palace.   It is also rumoured that some of the ghosts you bump into while walking through its dark, silent corridors are returning spirits of presidents ( Presiden

A Halloween Treat : The Horror OF Room 213 A reader from Lahug, Cebu City shares with us this scary tale : When I was a child, I developed a fear of hospitals because of a terrifying experience I shared with my cousin  Zeny when she was recuperating from an  appendectomy in one of Cebu’s  oldest hospitals,  a stone’s throw away from the school I was attending. Consequently, I spent every afternoon in her sick room where I awaited my father to pick me up after his office hours. One afternoon, my father was unusually late in passing for me. My cousin had fallen asleep and I was left to while away my boredom in the hospital corridor facing an inner court, an open space atrium with a Grecian fountain in the centre. Dusk had fallen and the lengthening shadows were playing eerie patterns on the ground.  A nurse pushing a wheeled table on which some bottles of medicine and injectabels lay, passed by me to enter a room at the end of the corridor three numbers away from my cous
