The Romblon Triangle

The Romblon Triangle

 

Unexplainable events give rise to countless theories and tales. The Romblon Triangle urban legend is a result of a string of accidents that took place in the waters of Romblon. The triangle is said to cover the area from the Tablas strait up to the Sibuyan passage.

 

Like the famous Bermuda Triangle, the Romblon Triangle is believed to be a mysterious place that causes accidents or disappearances. However, unlike the inexplicable tales of the Bermuda Triangle, the accidents that took place in the Romblon Triangle seem to be more natural.

 

“Hindi kataka-takang sa Romblon kasi ito ay open seas kung kaya’t maraming sakuna ang nangyayari rito tulad ng paglubog ng barko,” said Castro. “Pero wala namang ebidensiya rito ng mga nawawala at forever nang hindi nakikita.”

 

“While those accidents are real, it’s probably because the seas there are rougher. Stronger waves, more unpredictable weather,” explained Tan. “The name ‘Romblon Triangle’ is just our way of trying to relate it to something more well-known internationally.”

Hikiko-san

Everywhere you look now a days, you will see a sign against bullying and abuse. This is a good thing. We don't need another Hikiko-san roaming the world. Bullying and abuse are bad enough without that.

Hikiko-san is a young girl. She gets beaten by her parents at home, causing her to be slightly deformed. This deformity causes Hikiko-san to be bullied by her classmates. One day, it all became too much for her and she committed suicide, though some say she was killed by her father. Either way, the girl comes back as a human hating spirit.

It is said that one of the boys from Hikiko's class saw her spirit after her death. She was dragging the lifeless body of one of her tormentors behind her. When he told the police about it, Hikiko-san killed him that same night.


Another story goes that she would attack entire school, decapitating people or pulling off their limbs. She would drag the bodies or limbs behind her, covering the walls and floor in blood. Anyone unfortunate to enter the building during one of these attacks becomes one of the dead. Afterwards, the school would be shut down and abandoned.

Because Hikiko-san is recognized for her long black hair that often hangs in front of her face, she became the inspiration for Samara (Sadako Yamamura) in the Ring trilogy. (The Ring, The Ring Two, and The Rings)
