{ Horror Stories }

I was talking earlier to my boyfriend about the spooky experiences my family and I had experienced here in our house. I decided to share to you some of those spooky experiences.

Many people, including me and my family, believe that our house is haunted. Each one of us here in our house has at least experienced a single spooky event. Even our visitors have their own experiences inside our house. We believe that when a visitor visits our place for the first time, he or she will experience something spooky. Here are some of the scary events we have experienced.

• Spooky Item Number One: The Dwarf

It was November 1 that time (I could not remember the year anymore). It was very late in the evening. There were three of us inside the room: my grandmother, my auntie and me. My grandmother was already sleeping in her bed. I was sitting in a rocking chair watching television with my auntie. The television was muted because we were not actually focussing much on the movie. It was also very silent inside the room and all the people in our house were already sleeping. I started to rock my chair very hard. While rocking the chair, I was shocked! I heard baby voices shouting angrily. The voices sounded like the voice of a dwarf. Afraid, I stopped rocking the chair. I could not seem to move and speak that time. When I got my consciousness back, I asked my auntie if she heard those baby voices because I thought that I was just imagining those things. Surprisingly, she also heard those voices! She scolded me because she thought that I was the one who was shouting with a baby voice. I told her that it was not me. I tried to rock the rocking chair again to check if the sound came from the chair. But when I rocked it again, we heard no sound. After that, we ran very fast to the bed and covered ourselves up with a blanket.

• Spooky Item Number Two: The Family

This story was experienced by my cousin named Vicky. Vicky was inside her room together with my other cousin Mia. They were already sleeping. Vicky suddenly woke up because of a bad dream. She checked her clock and it was past three in the morning. She was trying to sleep again but cannot because of a weird feeling. Then, she saw something! A guy wearing a barong was standing near the door and was looking at her. She was so afraid and she wanted to shout but there seemed to be no voice coming out from her mouth. She closed her eyes so as not to see the guy. But when she opened her eyes again, the guy was inches away from her! That time, she managed to shout and Mia woke up. The two of them did not go back to sleep anymore. The next night after that event, Vicky experienced something spooky again. They were already sleeping when Vicky woke up again because of a bad dream. When she checked the time, it was the same time when she woke up yesterday! (Past three!) She closed her eyes immediately and covered herself with a blanket. Then, she heard a girl crying. She decided not to mind it and just tried to go back to sleep. But the girl continued crying. When she opened her eyes, she saw the same man again at the door together with a little girl wearing a dress! The next few days after the two consecutive events, I told Vicky that she was not the only one who was hearing the girl crying every night. I was actually hearing it too when I stay up late until dawn. Then, people from our neighborhood said that there was always a family (a man wearing a barong, a girl in a dress and an old lady) standing in our terrace.

• Spooky Item Number Three: The Sound

I always stay up late every night. Every time I am about to sleep, I am always hearing a weird sound from the ceiling of my room. The noise I am hearing sound like a ball bouncing on the floor. At first, the noise is not too loud and it seems far away from me so I do not mind it that much. But as minutes pass by, the noise gets louder. It is like there is someone who is playing with a ball at the room above mine. What freaks me out is that the room above mine, which is the room of my brother before, is empty and no one stays there because my brother does not stay with us any more.

• Spooky Item Number Four: The Old Lady

It was twelve midnight that time. I was in a room in the second floor together with my cousins. My cousins were teasing me. I got irritated so I decided not to sleep there and just go to our basement where my parents' room was located.When I was at the top of the stairs, I noticed one of my cousins at the couch talking to someone on the phone. I continued going down the stairs. I looked at my cousin again. I was terrified when I saw an old lady in a white dress sitting beside him! I was petrified that time. Thinking that I was just hallucinating, I looked again at the couch. That time, the old lady smiled at me. Because of too much fear, I ran fastly to my parents' room. The next morning, I asked my cousin if he saw the old lady. He told me that he saw the old lady and that was the reason why he stoped talking on the phone and why he did not greet me.

• Spooky Item Number Five: Mia's Ghost

This event was experienced by our maid. Our maid was cleaning a part of the house near the stairs. While she was cleaning, someone tapped her at her back. She was frightened. When she looked at her back, she was relieved because it was just my cousin Mia. Mia told her something but our maid did not understand what it was. Then Mia went out of the house. Immediately after that, our maid went to Mia's room. Surprised, she saw Mia there! She cannot believe when she saw Mia because Mia just talked to her downstairs and went out of the house. A similar event happened to me. It was late in the evening when my classmates came to visit me at our house. I told them that our house was haunted. Since they were enthusiasts, they asked me if we could explore the house and hunt ghosts. Wanting to spice things up, I agreed with them. We went to the fourth floor wherein the whole floor was divided into three rooms. Each room was separated by a door with a small glass on it allowing someone on one room to peek to the next room. There were two stairs leading to the fourth floor. One leading to the left side of the floor or the first room and one leading to the right side of the floor or the third room. We took the stair that led us to the left side of the floor where the first room was located. We were noisy and were scaring each other. That time, my classmates, my cousin Mia and Karen, and I were only the ones at the house. All my other relatives were attending a night party. My classmate Jeff, who knew Mia, told me that Mia was there at the third room looking at us through the glass on the door. Since we were too far from that door because we were at the other side of the floor, I could not figure much the face. All I saw was a girl with a black long straight her. I knew immediately that it was really Mia because she was the only one in the family who had that kind of beautiful hair. What bothered me was that she just kept staring at us. I felt uneasy. Then, she turned off the light at that room. My classmates panicked so we decided to run downstairs. When my classmates left, I went to Mia's room. I asked her if she went to the fourth floor and stared at us through the door with the glass. She said that she did not go there. At first I did not want to believe but Karen confirmed me that Mia did not leave her room because the two of them were watching television that time.

Those were just some of the experiences we had. Maybe there was really a family who died in our house. I am not sure. When I asked my aunties about who owned this house before they bought it, they said they do not know. All they knew was that when they bought the house, the dealer told them that there was someone who died in here. But they still bought the house because they badly needed it. We tried to bless the house a lot of times but spooky stuff still continued to appear. Maybe because our house was too big and some parts of it were always deserted. We just learned to get used to the scary events happening in our house. We just hope that those who will visit our house for the first time will not experience what we are experiencing so as not to freak them out.
