I don’t know if I believe in ghost or any other supernatural beings. I have experienced a lot of “weird stuff” in my own home and in some places that I travelled to and I always try to find the logic behind those “scary moments” that I encounter although sometimes there really is no explanation.
My scariest and weirdest trip would probably be the one in Baguio City. This happened a couple of years ago. Me and my friends went to Sagada for a couple of days and went down to Baguio to meet up another friend.
As soon as we arrived in Baguio, we started hunting down some hostel or cheap hotels within the city. We found one near SM Baguio and the price fitted our budget perfectly.
The four of us were resting on our beds watching TV when we heard some knocks on our door. Since I was the one near the door, I opened it and to my surprised, there was no one there. So I just ignored whatever it was.
I went back to my bed and tucked myself inside the cozy comforter. I continued watching TV when I felt that the comforter was like being pulled from below. I just pulled it up again and continued watching.
And then, it happened again. I didn’t move and I held on to the comforter, and f*CK someone was really pulling down the comforter. I glanced at my friends and all of them were glued on the TV show that they're watching. "Who the hell is pulling down the sheets then?"
WTF!??!?
I got off the bed and looked. The comforter was neatly tucked. Maybe it was just my imagination. I untucked the comforter and put everything on my bed. My friends were puzzled with what I did. I didn’t bother to tell them about it.
And then we heard some knocking again, I opened it again, and there’s no one. The knocking happened repeatedly until we just gave up and concluded that maybe it’s the neighbouring rooms that we kept on hearing.
The following morning I talked to the receptionists and asked if they had a lot of guests last night. She said that there were no other people in the entire floor where we were staying except us. WTF!??!?
How about you? What’s your scariest travel moment?
Eep, yoko ng mga ganyan -___- I got used to being on my own that I dismiss whatever unnatural sounds I hear.
ReplyDeleteThe weirdest one though was in Hong Kong. We were hiking up to this fort, and I got separated from my companions. There was a fork in the path, and I didn't know which path to take. I picked one and about ten paces in, I was kinda panicking because I can't see them. Then I saw this person going through the other path and it turns out both paths meet and go up to the fort. When I finally made it up there, my companions said they didn't see anybody else up there, it was just them.
What a scary story. I'd like to think that there are explanations for all of this, but feeling your comforter pulling down would be hard to explain. I haven't had any real scary travel moments like this, but I lived in an apartment once that I thought was haunted. The lights would flicker on and off all the time when I was in the shower, plus there were weird noises. I couldn't figure it out.
ReplyDelete@steve: true... some stuff just can't be explain...
ReplyDelete@nina: OMG... i havent seen any 'ghost' it must have been more scary...
I like this post. I had a scary experience when we camped in Bohol close to an elementary school. We were sitting around under a huge mango tree and just talking when 3 people in the group suddenly started 'feeling' that we were being observed by shorthaired girl.
ReplyDeleteAs it turns out, we asked the locals if there were ghosts in that area. And they replied: So, did you also see her?
@solesisters: after readin you comment... goosebumps...
