THE LICKER

This story is creepy on many levels. While there’s no particular origin or truthful tale behind it, the story still gets told around the campfire. Basically, a girl received a dog as a gift, and it would sleep with her each night. She would often put her hand down and feel the dog lick. 


Then, one night while her parents were away she heard a dripping noise and went into the bathroom to turn off the tap. When she returned to bed, she felt her dog lick her hand. This happened several times until the girl investigated more and found her dog hanging dead in the cupboard with a note reading “Humans can lick too.”

Gretchen Barretto puts an end to urban legend about elevator incident

Muli na namang nabuhay ang isyu tungkol sa elevator incident na kinasangkutan diumano ng aktres na si Gretchen Barretto noong December 2004.


Ito ay ang pagpapalayas daw sa kanya sa loob ng elevator ng may-ari ng isang building sa Makati dahil sa hindi nito tamang asta.

Diumano, dumating si Gretchen sa RCBC Plaza building sa Makati isang araw dahil sa regular nitong schedule sa isang spa doon.

Disappearing floor

In Universidad de Manila (formerly City College of Manila), it is said that a certain floor disappears during a certain time of the day. Kind of makes you wonder: what would happen to you if ever you’re on that floor on that particular time?

I Am Thirsty

Last year in the summertime is when this unexplained event happened. It was holy week that time, year 2018. I and my closest friend decided to go in Baguio City, Philippines instead on going to the beach. We had this long VL (Vacation Leave), Chong and Go (not their real names) would like to go in Puerto Galera but since it's really hot that time, we've decided to go to the chill part. Well, just to give you a bit background of ours as where we working and how old are we, Chong (34), Go (31) and me (just turned 30). We worked in the same company as a phone banker somewhere in McKinley, Taguig.

Two Persons Holding Drinking Glasses Filled With Beer

So, everything was planned, all our stuffs were ready, we also drink a couple beers before going to sleep as we are all excited and can't sleep. I can remember I was half asleep that time, in my dream, I saw an old woman but I can't see her face, there was something heavy with that dream something that I know to myself that there is 'something' with that old women. We woke up around 4 in the morning, and left Manila at 5. I was not that energetic which I am always that morning, Go noticed it. He even asked, 'Bro, balita diyan? Tahimik mo eh' (Bro, what's up? You're so quiet) Oh by the way, it's Go's place we're we staying. I said 'I'm alright bruh. I was just sleepy' I don't want to tell him the truth because I might end up being laughed out. Chong, was our driver that time, he even made fun of me already being quiet.

On-the-job Training

This story I'm going to tell happened December 2011. I am an intern at one of the hotel in Makati (I'm not going to tell what hotel but I'm going to tell the location for you to guess... This is located at Chino Roces Ave. Makati, near the Walter Mart and a school. I don't know if the hotel is newly built but it seems so since there are floors under construction at that time. If some of you would asked why I am an intern in that hotel, it's because I am a BSHRM graduate. After I graduate I just realize that it's not what I want. Anyway that's another story.

Brown Hotel Signage

I spent my OJT together with my 5 classmates and they're from different schools too. Our time of work was shifting also. But this story happened during my morning shift. We have rounds of work. This day you will be in the kitchen and mini restaurant, the other day you do housekeeping. When I was assigned at housekeeping, there's no eerie feelings. Sometimes I was alone in a big room and nothing. The hotel staffs often scared us that there are ghost in the hotel. Like there's a mother and daughter roaming on hotel floors and a headless man... Stuff like that, but I didn't take it seriously.

What On Earth Did I See?!

Prelude:

Hi everyone I want to share my story it's not much but might be interesting. In the year 2010 I was divorced and transitioning to marry again, so meanwhile I prepared the flat it was in South Surra area, Zahra sub area, right besides the 360 mall. I lived in the apartment alone until I finish the preparations to bring my wife. Meanwhile to pass time I watched TV and played some video games, nothing was out of the ordinary or weird everything was normal.

Green 2-seat Sofa

The apartment had 3 rooms; 1 living room, 2 bathrooms and a kitchen.

The bed room is not used I kept it clean so only when my wife arrive we could use it. I slept in the other room used as a computer room.

Fast forward the wedding ceremony had ended and my wife arrived. During our time there

THE SHADOW MAN

Nobody knows for sure who, or what The Shadow Man is, but it may be the ghost of a man who was convicted of stalking and kidnapping children.

He was caught at a home he had broken into a few days before, and was being dragged off to the gallows after his trial when he overpowered the guards and ran into the woods. A huge search was organized, and the entire forest was thoroughly searched, but he was never found. A few years later, children started going missing again, and some people thought that it must be him.
Their suspicions were put to rest however, after one of the missing children came back. The five year old boy was questioned, and, during a police interview, he revealed that he was captured by a “shadow man with big red eyes and a funny hat.”
Since then, there have been many more reports of this “shadow man.” The shadow is described as being a shadow of a tall man with a bowlers hat and glowing red eyes. He can assume almost any form he chooses and slip through any door. He will plague children with nightmares about a strange man in a bowlers hat grabbing them and taking them away to an old hut. After a few days, he will creep into the child’s room and stare down at them with his glowing red eyes until they wake up.
The child will then be petrified with fear, and that is when The Shadow Man will whisk them off, and the child will never be seen again. The scariest part is that he could be anywhere at anytime, and you can never be sure if he is there, watching you.

Philippines first documented serial killer was a Catholic priest.


While serial killers are a dime a dozen in other countries, they are virtually unheard of here in the Philippines. However, that does not mean to say we’ve never had one before.
During the Spanish era, a man by the name of Juan Severino Mallari was accused and convicted of killing at least 57 people in the town of Magalang, Pampanga of which he was the parish priest over a ten-year period, from 1816 to 1826.

While details of the murders were never given, they were of such a gruesome nature that the Spanish authorities didn’t consider the fact that Mallari exhibited signs of mental illness (he believed by killing his victims, he could free his mother from being “bewitched”).
In the end, the Spanish hanged Mallari in 1840. Incidentally, it also made him the first indigenous priest to be killed by the government, his execution preceding the Gomburza’s by 32 years.

Town Gossip or Fact?

 
 
In a town in Negros in the '90s lay the threat of a powerful family and their son, Armando. Armando was a notorious figure in the neighborhood. Being the heir to a family with interests in agriculture, hospitality, and more, Armando was considered a catch. He liked women and women liked him, but those dates allegedly always ended up bloody.
 
With his moneyed background, girls fell into his trap easily. He dated his victims and had sex with them. If they refused, he allegedly raped then murdered them. There were rumors that some of them were buried alive in their house that became haunted while "luckier" ones were paid with a huge amount of cash so they would keep quiet. 

His family was reportedly privy to his crimes: His brother allegedly help him dispose of the bodies while a sister chose his victims. 

Despite all this talk, there has never been anything on police or government records, but despite this seeming deniability, Armando walked around in a bulletproof vest and rode in an armored car. No official account about the reports exists except for those on social media. 

One rumor details how Armando  supposedly mutilated his victims' bodies and buried the remains in their family basement. Sometimes, the bodies were allegedly left in the corn fields, while still others were buried near their family's hotel which is also rumored to be haunted. It feels like usual local gossip fodder, but we know how those things end. They don't.

A Modern Visayan Urban Legend

 
 
A certain Warlito Toledo alyas “Waway” made the news rounds in the 1980s, ‘90s, and early ‘00s. Local blogs state that the earliest arrest record of him can be found in Danao, Cebu. He was charged with reckless imprudence resulting in homicide on November 8, 1989. Later on, a rape case was filed against him on September 10, 1996. He was finally arrested on December 1, 1999.

In September 2002, another rape case was filed against Waway. He fled and his whereabouts were not known until five years later, when he was implicated in a rape and murder case of a 17-year-old student in Danao.

The Priest From Pampanga


The Priest From Pampanga


A constant pressure in the priest’s life was that he believed that his mother had been bewitched. Fr. Mallari soon believed he needed to kill people to free his mother from this sickness.

Details of the murders were not stated in the investigation documents, only that he killed at least 57 people. He was found guilty and hanged in 1840, making him the first Filipino priest to be executed.

It would be improbable to say there have been no Filipino serial killers since Fr. Mallari. But there are only a few documented cases, and in most cases, they are mentioned in the same breath as urban legends and mythical figures.

The first documented case of a serial killer in the Philippines is that of the priest Juan Severino Mallari. He was the parish priest of Magalang, Pampanga from 1816 to 1826.

The priest was said to be exhibiting signs of mental illness, a fact that his peers decided to ignore. While having a mental illness shouldn’t stop anyone from living a life of service, Fr. Mallari’s actions turned deadly.

A Corpse Rotting a Hotel’s Water Supply

You know how sometimes the water at your hotel just tastes downright disgusting? Well, it’s not entirely outside of the realm of reason that there might be a dead body floating in the water supply, contributing to the less than desirable taste. At least, that’s what happened at a Los Angeles hotel in 2013.

After several days of guests complaining about a terrible smell that emanated anytime they turned on the shower—not to mention the terrible taste when they tried to brush their teeth—management checked the water tank on the hotel roof and found the body of 21-year-old Elisa Lam floating inside. Her body was estimated to have been in the tank for two weeks.

Colonel Buck’s Recurring Tombstone Stain

colonel buck tombstone stainWhile we can’t confirm any of that, of course, the tombstone has reportedly been scrubbed thoroughly several times, but the leg-shaped stain continues to reappear. Today, it’s become somewhat of a tourist attraction.
Passersby are often keen to point out the oddly-shaped mark, resembling a leg, that stains the tomb of this former Justice of the Peace. That’s because rumor has it that Colonel Jonathan Buck ordered a young woman be put to death for practicing witchcraft. Allegedly, her leg rolled out of the fiery blaze, and, in retaliation, the witch put an eternal curse on Buck’s final resting place in Bucksport, Maine.
