You know, it's Halloween. I guess everyone is entitled to one good scare, huh?

Have surpassed the scariest day of the year without having to encounter one more lurid sensation. hurray! A couple of days before yesterday, I was planning to be out of the house the entire night. Maybe spend the night in Star City or in a 24/7 Internet Cafe. This was after I learned everyone's gonna be out the whole weekend. Until yesterday came and I was still ill. I finally decided to conquer my fear.

I stayed home. I had to.

In fact, I was able to sleep soundly around 2AM. And what's nicer is I was able to sleep long (until around 8AM). Yeah, that's only barely 6 hours but, believe me, that's already long for me. Hippo would joke about how I'd feel so energized after getting a 5-min nap. Got this from Mom who gets only a couple or 4 hours doze on a regular basis.

Anyway, am back to continue my biz -- a month-long ghost story series.

My 2nd Ghost Story


Staying up the entire night everyday has been a routine for me. Am used to it since as a stud, I was wide awake when everybody else was already snoring. And believe me, even I can only 'hear' uncanny sounds and can NOT see 'ghosts', such experiences could get my heart leap from my chest.

We decided to move my home office table to the window's side. Opposite the wall where it used to stay (just beside the door). For the simple reason, it can feel real eerie when the door is open and there's just dark you can see from outside. Another deeper reason was there's really something about that area.

My first night here, I already felt something different. The computer used to be under the aircondition unit where my stacks of food are positioned now. Almost opposite the bathroom and in front of the dresser where the big mirror is. There were more than 10 of us in the house since it took us the rest of the afternoon to move all the stuffs from the old place to here so, I was not scared at all; although, everyone was already asleep. Well, am naturally not fidgety let's just put it that way. For whatever reason, I am kinda brave when it comes to supernaturals. But, am not challenging anything, lemme make this clear. OR maybe am simply just skeptical. Doubtful of what experiences I had.

I was, at that time, chatting with someone. Was trying to resolve an issue and this disturbing sound kept making me turn around. Thought maybe it's just any of the hippos. It's trying to get my attention by doing "psst" twice at a time. This came from anywhere very near me like from inside or outside the bathroom, which was just behind me. At times it would come from somewhere around the door or outside the room. As usual, I did what I am good at doing -- dismissed it. But, twas persistent.

It didn't stop there. There were movements approaching me. I felt cold air at the back of my ear which caused me to make sudden turn to that direction where it came from. It's as if someone whispered right into my ear. Next thing was pilomotor reflex. Then, my heart started pounding fast. Yet, I still tried to focus more on what I was doing.

At one point, I jumped from my seat and ran to where Hippo and Binkie were sleeping. My heart was throbbing real hard. But, I couldn't even make any sound.

I ended up going back to what I was doing. Again, tried dismissing what might it be.

A few days after (think 5 days later), I was about to start work around 2am. This time around, the position of my post was right next to the door by the wall. Hippo was already around and so was Binkie. I went to my post and pulled the seat to my direction. When I was about to sit down, something pulled it away. I need not say what happened to me next. Ok, I will say it...I ended up on the floor.

Hippo helped me get up while Binkie tried hard not to laugh and asked what happened. Am sure both them saw what happened. Grrr.

Could it be a poltergeist? *bites nails*

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear. And the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.

Here...am back to share with you some of my ghost stories. Very timely, I know. This is not because it's almost Halloween. So happened I have had spooky experiences the past weeks. Am a lil thankful it seized since after Pat's wedding day. Am now keeping my fingers crossed there won't be any more especially on the last day of October. *bites nails*

My First Ghost Story

Have to make this clear ...my third eye is not open. Maybe my third ear is as I can only hear ghastly sounds. It's hard to express but am sure some of you know what I mean. Sounds that cause goosebumps.

Been working late at night lately after I started working for a Belgian client. But, usually, my ghost experiences happen around early morning...'round 4am onwards. There's no definite time in fact. But, normal hours I feel them active are between 4am-8am.

I'd usually hear girls talking not far from where my post is. Of course, hearing things ... you can still be skeptical. You can dismiss and think it could be from another room or the next building. For some time I convinced myself it's just nothing.

Later on, it's becoming intense. The talking voices become louder that they are audible even I am wearing my headset with the volume set to the highest. This brings me to my feet and I'd check the other rooms only to realize nobody's around.

At around the same time (sometimes earlier like 2am) I'd feel something walking behind me. Am damn sure there's 'something' walking as I got used to the sound and the feel of footsteps in my room. My ears are real sensitive to sounds that I can even tell who is approaching. It's definitely the same sound as when there are real persons walking around the room. Whenever I sense or hear there's movement behind me, I'd look but there's no one. At all. And definitely, it didn't come from some distance, this I am sure.

Typically, whatever that maybe, it would walk towards my direction. I'd focus more to what I am doing to intentionally ignore it. Who wants to scare oneself, right? But, you can't just do anything when 'they' truly want you to feel their presence for whatever reason. And just when they are right behind me that I'd turn around to look. But, I'd always find no one. Once I am back to my task, they'd try getting my attention again.

This is already an escalated case as during my first few days here, I only heard 'psst' usually twice, then nothing. Again, I was skeptical because there's just so many things that can produce any eerie sound.

Am not trying to make anyone believe now. It's up to you if you will.

Not scary enough? Blame it on my delivery but, believe me, you won't ever want to experience the same. Expect for more the next days. *wink*
