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)

The Suicide Portrait

A few years back, an internet rumor surfaced about the suicide of a young Japanese girl. Shortly before killing herself, the teen had drawn a self-portrait, which she then posted online. Curious to see this slice of suicide memorabilia, a number of Korean forums picked up the image and began re-posting it. That’s where things got weird.

Users had a hard time looking away from this melancholy picture. Some began re-posting it time and time again, saying that its eyes were drawing them in. Others noticed that if you stared at the picture for any length of time, it began to alter subtly—the faintest trace of a smile surfacing around the dead girl’s mouth. Yet others reported feelings of intense sadness after seeing it. It’s said that one or two even killed themselves.

It’s now thought that anyone who spends too long looking at the image runs the risk of falling into this same deadly obsession. At least it would be, if the original artist hadn’t found out about this rumor and posted a fed-up message on his website, debunking the whole thing. Still, you’ll forgive us if we decline to spend too long looking into those creepy eyes.

False Photo of Injured Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson

A photo showing the injuries of Ferguson, Mo. police officer, Darren Wilson, from his encounter with Michael Brown Jr. shortly before Brown’s death on August 9, 2014 is a hoax. The image is being circulated under false pretenses and does not depict Officer Darren Wilson of the Ferguson MO Police Department. The facebook post includes the following text:

"Why aren’t the media releasing the photos of Police Officer Darren Wilson’s injuries after he was assaulted by “the unarmed black teenager”? He was punched in the face before he emptied his weapon into the drugged “unarmed teenager”—here is what a broken eye socket looks like”

Another Version

“Since it’s unlikely the controlled left-extremist media will show you this photo, here it is. Look what that 18 year old did to this police officer, but I guess Holder and Sharpton forgot to mention this. He was slammed repeatedly in the face before he emptied his weapon into the drugged “unarmed teenager” when the thug approached to hit him some more—here is what a broken eye socket looks like:”

The photo actually shows injured motocross driver Jim McNeil, who broke several bones in his face during a practice ride with a friend and was taken in 2006. Posted on this site in 2010: http://etnies.com/blog/2006/10/10/jim-mcneil-face-plants-ouch/

The false photo above began circulating as a mislabeled pic of Darren Wilson, on or about September 2, 2014.
