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?

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.

The following are some of the most popular urban legends that many Pinoys continue to believe.
