Spending a few hours in the dark with these characters takes our mind off the real "boogey men" in our lives.

Was a lil confident watching programs which featured scary topics last night (just some 5 hours ago, actually. It's only 4am now) since there's 3 of us in the house. Some years back, almost every channel aired horror/ghost movies or news magazines that talked about horrifying experiences of real people for one whole week before (at times even after) Halloween. This year and the past couple of years, however, the prevalence of at-on-the-dot tv shows/programs have noticeably gone down. I wonder why.

Anyway, like what I said, I was confident enough to watch XXX (on channel 6). They featured people who have had spooky experiences in their own homes and unearthly entities on photos. Didn't finish it, though. Had to hunt for food as Mylene's not here to serve us very late dinner and very early breakfast. Thought I rather hunt than be bone lazy (translation: do what's my usual -- hit the dials for food delivery). That was around 12mn. We agreed to go out and be hunters. I wonder what the guards might be thinking they'd usually see us only around these times. bwahaha

...even watched Poltergeist vids on YT. But, I am actually skeptic about ghosts caught on tape or on still cams. Come on, there are so many photoshop mavens around who can just play the photo so it would look authentic. Dunno, it's just hard nowadays to tell a real one from a fake one.

There's this vid, though, which caught my interest. It's in a different language showing 2 guys and a gal in a car. One guy was in the back seat rolling the vcam. The girl was in the front passenger seat. Of course the other guy was driving it. Twas already dark and they're driving nowhere when they chanced upon this girl trying to get a hitch (the original vid was too long. They were driving real long).

...Pretty girl but mysterious. She looked rather restless. The 3 even argued about accommodating the girl stranger but they ended up letting her hop in. Dunno if it's effect or what but whenever the vcam was focused to the stranger, it became blurry. From the time she was in, they started asking her questions but she was trying to keep her silent answering each question with only one or two words (maybe max was 5). Because she looked troubled, the 3 asked her a few times what might be wrong. A couple of minutes more and she pointed at a particular area ahead of them and said something like this (not exact words)... "I am heading there. That's where I had an accident and died." Everybody was horrified with what she just said and what's next... the car wheels squealed, the car brake was audibly loud and the car windows broke -- a car accident.

Am not certain up to this time about the authenticity of the tape. This is the first time I have seen this so... well, am still scrutinizing it. Here, maybe you'd be interested to see for yourself...

This is the short version.

What do you think?

Another personal ghost story from me later... hopefully. *fingers crossed*

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*
